We've found our new take out favorite spot! We've been ordering from here for two days straight, and for good reason. This place is a hidden gem in West Roxbury. Every dish is fresh and flavorful, and their menu offers a wonderful variety of options. The portions are very generous too. Plus the owner/chef is friendly and clearly the real deal. You have got to try it.

Sharing the updated menu since it’s hard to find otherwise - delicious food from the nicest proprietor, highly recommended! Just wish they did online ordering (their third party apps don’t reflect the full menu).

Stardust, the only thing that would beat their food is their service, hospitality, and kindness. I think it was the owner, and I was surprised to learn he included baklava in the order “on the house.” When he learned it was my first time ordering, he added an extra side of hummus, tzatziki, and another side dish on the house. I think he asked if I liked the food if I could let others know, which I was more than happy to do. This was my first time ordering, and I went with their beef wrap, which was delicious, their lamb plate, which was also delicious, and their vegetable plate, which was also delicious. I'm saving the garden salad wrap for tomorrow and look forward to digging in. To summarize, Stardust’s food is fabulous, and its service is top-notch. I highly recommend folks try their food

Tried this place after seeing the positive reviews. It didn't disappoint me, firstly the customer service was amazing. The guy was so patience and made the order to perfection. Gave extra pita bread and baklava dessert. He made each thing with so much concentration and love, it felt like he really liked serving the people with great foods. Also had good conversation with him and he is too humble person. The food quality was really great, meat had lot of flavor and very tender. I was really impressed with this place, little spot but great food. Will definitely visit again

We we order from Stardust for my mother’s 91st birthday party. The food was fabulous. The falafel were so light and wonderful. All of the meats disappeared immediately-so flavorful and tender-and the vegetables were great for both vegetarians and mediators. Truly a great experience.

Got the large falafel pita wrap for only $15 - it was delicious and huge, well worth the money. The one guy running the restaurant was super friendly. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall with very little seating and no bathroom, but will definitely be back for takeout.
