Food is amazing and you can tell that every morsel was made with lots of love . I'm on mission to try everything on the menu. The best part of this experience is the way they make you feel like you are a part of their family as soon as you arrive. Plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.

This is my new falafel place in West Rox! A cheap eats family run Lebanese restaurant with fresh veggies and great falafel and homemade hummus. I’ve gotten their falafel wrap and it’s great, with pickled beets and the usual stuff. Today I ate at the restaurant and had a tabouli plate with falafel and hummus. It’s so hitting the spot that I had to review it! I like the atmosphere in this cozy family restaurant. Everyone who takes your order knows the menu and can answer questions. The food didn’t take more than a few minutes to bring out and it’s as good as making it from scratch at home! Sometimes I’m disappointed by restaurant food but not here. This is fresh and seasoned well and I feel lucky to live nearby! Come check out Bread Thyme!

I’ve been driving an hour to West Roxbury to see my chiropractor once a week and my husband and I recently discovered this great little restaurant, Bread Thyme. Gabi is the chef creating delectable Lebanese dishes. Everything is incredible, this is the epitome of fresh and clean food. I have never had Lebanese food before and Gabi loves to take the time to explain his dishes. We’ve been here a few times and I try to taste something new each time. Today I got a Caesar salad with Kafka on top, which was great, and my husband got the Chicken Shawarma wrap which he loves. We always get the bread, and today it was fresh out of the oven and still warm. I took a video of my husband breaking it open with the steam coming out, but we can’t put videos on Google reviews! Gabi’s wife, Joelle, makes these amazing gourmet chocolates. Today we tried their Signature Cup filled with nuts and dates, topped with a heart made out of fig. It was delicious. If you’re ever in the West Roxbury area this restaurant is a must try!

Very nice Lebanese restaurant, located on a main street with a free parking lot nearby. Pleasant interiors, comfortable seating, clean restroom. Lebanese music in the background, not loud, adds to the atmosphere. Fresh, authentic and tasty food, the portions are not large but of decent size. Very good service, friendly and hospitable, fair prices. Very good place to enjoy a quick meal of real food, Bread Thyme is a great addition to the neighborhood !

I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing Mediterranean Lebanese restaurant with my mom today, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The owner, Gabi, was incredibly friendly and generous, making us feel like family. The food was absolutely authentic—just like the dishes you’d enjoy at home. The zaa’tar was spot on, and the tabbouleh was fresh and flavorful, just as it should be. Every bite was delicious and made with the finest ingredients. The atmosphere is classy, with the perfect touch of light music in the background. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean food in a warm and inviting setting!
