Juniper offers a mixed dining experience that has drawn both praise and criticism. While some guests laud the wonderful ambiance, exceptional drinks, and standout dishes like Chicken Tagine and unique cocktails, others express disappointment with the quality of food and service. Complaints about bland appetizers, undercooked meals, and disorganized service marred the experience for many, alongside concerns about kid-friendliness and reservations.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner at this exceptional restaurant. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive, contributing to a lovely evening.
I highly recommend the Lamb Bolognese; it was rich and flavorful, featuring perfectly cooked pasta that paired wonderfully with the sauce. The Baba Ghanouj also stood out, boasting a creamy texture and a delightful smoky flavor that lingered pleasantly.
In summary, this restaurant is definitely worth the price range, showcasing an impressive menu filled with remarkable dishes.
What Mojijoon dislikes about Juniper:
I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The service was lacking; the waiter was missing for most of our visit, and we eventually had to seek him out ourselves because we were tired of waiting and just wanted to pay and leave. The food was of poor quality and quite dry; I struggled to chew and swallow the falafel. One of my favorite appetizers is baba ghanoush, so I always order it when it's available. Unfortu...

Neighborhood gem! Be sure to queue up early to enjoy the fine food here. Service is best when you are seated and order taken. When it's busy, you'll need to flag down a waiter, although everyone was responsive when we reached out. Vegetarian options: Appreciate veggie options Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
Honestly, this is as good as it gets for me. I’m sure there are other places in Greater Boston that offer better X, Y, or Z, but for my money, this is where I’ll go when I want to get the most value while still enjoying exceptionally high standards of flavor and quality. Everything was absolutely delicious—truly memorable for someone like me whose memory isn’t usually that great. Yes, we will be returning; it’s just a matter of how often!
Today is a rainy day and dinner is a hassle My husband cut his hair and went to Juniper !!But they don’t even give me water hing I know you're busy, but...I know it's a popular restaurant, but...Let's start...Still, everything was good except my younger daughter’s food (Lamb bolognese) !!Only my younger daughter's pasta didn't suit my taste.All the other foods were delicious, especially the Braised beef shortrib. It was really delicious
Always a solid choice for Mediterranean
Great drinks and ambiance. Unfortunately only getting two stars for the cardinal sin of serving me under cooked short rib... It needed to braise at least another hour. Very bummed as the dish would have been great if the short rib was properly cooked.
