What TheresaF likes about Bambara Kitchen:
We went to Bambara to celebrate a birthday for one of our group. We were able to get a cozy table in the corner. Brianna was our server, and she was AMAZING! So pleasant and helpful! She took extra good care of us! The food was delicious! We will definitely be back. Thank you, Brianna! View all feedback. What James wilson doesn't like about Bambara Kitchen:
Food is average. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive. The restaurant is comfortable. The location is rather isolated from Cambridge and Boston proper. Prices are high for what is being offered. The best value is the free parking in the Galleria mall. View all feedback.

We thought that given the location, the outdoor seating would face the water on the side of the restaurant. Instead, it is in the auto entrance to the hotel. Yo...

I was expecting a much better menu. It is possible we encountered a downgraded covid menu. I don't recommend unless they chsnge

For such a limited menu, you would think they would be really good at it. Apps and dinner lacked flavor, and portions were meh for the price. Perhaps this was a...

Food was excellent...service was very good. Only downside was options were few due to scaled back menu...due to COVID

Bambara offers a comfortable dining experience with pleasant wait staff and free parking. While some dishes like the salmon and asparagus shine, others fall short, such as the chicken Parmesan. Limited menu options may leave patrons wanting more flavor and better portion sizes. The breakfast menu was lackluster and service was slow. However, exceptional service from Brianna and impressive dishes make it a great spot for special occasions. The casual vibe and live music create a unique atmosphere, perfect for a meal after visiting nearby attractions. Overall, mixed reviews suggest Bambara is hit-or-miss, but worth a try for some standout dishes and service.

Location wise its difficult because of the parking situation but also the food options are limited and the quality of the dessert menu is poor

Completely uninspired breakfast. It was plain, and unseasoned. The highlight was the fried potatoes for me instead of the Salmon Eggs Benedict. The English muff...
