What a wonderful surprise, we got to meet the owner and he charmed our whole table! The food was authentic and delicious. Finding little local gems like this is always special!

Service can’t get any better! The owner personally served and customized our order to our taste. He made us feel welcome by adjusting the temperature and lighting in the restaurant. It was an absolute VIP experience. He also offered cooking off menu items for us! Food is top notch! Very fresh, warm and very sophisticated flavors / spices! Atmosphere is amazing! Quiet with dim lights! Can’t imagine a better place to have a romantic dinner on a Friday night!

Had a wonderful dinner with the family. This is our favorite hidden gem. The food is always cooked to order and prepared fresh. It’s a BYOB which is always a plus. There’s even a liquor store across the street! I had my favorite go to dish, Chicken Alia. Sautéed tender pieces of chicken with sautéed baby spinach, tomatoes, capers and black Kalamata olives in a white wine reduction served over saffron rice. Delicious! Bring a bottle and the owner Said (Sayeed) will pull up a chair He’s a great storyteller and very accommodating.

Alia is a dream for diners who love to discover a neighborhood gem that foodies will also adore. The Italian/Mediterranean menu offers creative twists on familiar dishes, as well as perfectly prepared traditional favorites. Ask the owner, Said — who is as caring, delightful and charming as they come, and his conversation is reason enough to go — for his signature Magic Chicken. It’s a robust festival of flavors, featuring chicken and eggplant Parmesan. Not sure what you’d like? Said will make you something special. He loves a challenge! The portions at Alia are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is personable, so bring your appetite (and a bottle of wine, for it’s BYOB, but there’s a liquor store a minute’s walk away) and prepare for a marvelous evening.

This is a hidden gem off the beach in Winthrop. The food is tasty with a hint of spice that is rarely found in Winthrop. I’m hoping they introduce Moroccan lamb shank one day

Such a wonderful experience, our new favorite spot! No frills, delicious food, phenomenal service. Prices more than fair, portions HUGE. Right by the beach, and BYOB. Owner is wonderful, makes you feel right at home!

I asked proprietor/chef Said to produce a Moroccan dinner of his choosing, for 25 people, which he did, of tender kabobs, succulent chicken in a lovely spiced broth, plus burgers loaded with goodies, and fresh vegetables also seasoned beautifully. We picked everything up at the restaurant piping hot. My guests couldn’t get enough! Thank you so much, Said, for making our gathering an utter success! (and no clean-up!) I also must mention that Said is a delight to meet and get to know a bit. A huge thank-you!
