I've been to Honey Road twice and both times I was impressed by the food and service. The ambiance is great too. The menu rotates - which we love to see. I especially love that they include a little glossary on the menu so you don't have to feel silly for not knowing something or pull your phone out to Google it. It's a thoughtful detail I super appreciate. Will go back - and highly recommend..

The food is amazing! We shared a bunch of plates and had to go containers, ready to go for the leftovers.

I love this place. Not because of perfection but more like every town needs at least one of this to enjoy food and drinks. I stumbled into the restaurant at the end of the touristy downtown area. They were packed but found me a spot at the bar. Great hostess and bar service. Small plates are great. Seared Haloumi - excellent though a bit on the sweet side (but then I am a bitter person) Shishito special was amazing - perfect texture and balance. Braised lamb bun was a great sandwich.

Honey Road is just incredible. My husband and I were able to score a Friday night reservation, and the restaurant was BUSY. That being said, the food was just phenomenal. We ended up getting the kale salad, baba ganoush, a house-made pita, the farm greens salad, and the tahini sundae. The food was fantastic. I am not a fan of kale, typically, but the kale salad was out of this world. The restaurant is fairly deep, but there was quite a bit of seating and things were comfortable. The restaurant is decorated with lamps and pillows. The food was delicious, and I would pretty much recommend for everyone in the area to come to this place. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely be stopping by. The meal from start to finish was phenomenal. The Tahini Sundae was particularly delicious and we loved the halva threads on top.

Muhammara: Eh... pretty average. I would recommend ordering something else. Seared Haloumi: This dish saved my rating of the restaurant. It's a 3.5* for me, but rounded it up to a 4 because this dish is SO GOOD. That haloumi really hit the spot. The hot honey was amazing with it. Sweet Harissa Chicken Wings: This was my 2nd favorite dish. The glaze on these wings is delicious, and they were cooked nicely. Tahini Sundae: Too sweet. Tahini sundae was good, but the caramel was overpowering. Service was very lackluster. I had to request a refill on water near the end of our meal, since no staff had come by a single time to check on it.

Fried Green Tomatoes Over fried, with season-less breading and mushy tomatoes. I was not a fan of this at all. I had killer ones at a place down the street, so that may have made my palate biased. Braised Lamb Simit Bun Snack This was phenomenal! It's definitely not something to share. The best item on the menu and the smallest serving. Lamb Kofta Lamb balls were bland and very rare in the center. I'm not a rare meat fan so this was not my jam. The cabbage slaw was the star of this dish. Seared Haloumi Good sear on the cheese. The summer fruit with the basil gave a great surprise to the tongue. Hot honey also added to the flavors when combined with the fruit in the bite. Delicious and another favorite. Grilled Broccolini It was a tad too salty. It also arrived to the table cold. Good flavors in general just over powered with salt. Sweet Harissa Chicken Wings These were my second favorite. The flavors were dancing on my tongue. Good crisp skin, even under the sauce. Sauced well and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Chocolate Pot de Creme This was a flavor pleaser. It hits all of the senses, sweet, salty, crunchy, smooth. The chocolate is of good quality, rich and fudgey. A stunner of a dessert. While all dishes weren't stunners it was very good and I would recommend.

I had an amazing dinner at honey road tonight. I have been here before and it's always outstanding. They do mostly small plates and snacks which I like because you can try a little of everything. The hummus and baba ganoush we ordered were both the best I have ever had. The pita bread was so good, definitely homemade. Even the crudite was so fresh and delicious. I also really loved the braised lamb bun. There's so many great things on the menu here you really can't go wrong with anything. Definitely get some dips to start though! I also love how vegetable heavy the dishes are. The restaurant itself has great ambiance and cool decor. They really pay attention to detail here from the food to the vibes. Great service too. Food comes out pretty quick and is paced well. Would definitely recommend coming here, just make a reservation in advance because they get pretty booked!

We totally love the meal from start to finish... started with Chicken Shawarma, crispy eggplant sabich, fried green tomatoes. Then we had baba ganosh, stuffed warm grape leaves, lamb kofa , halloumi figs w/dips, and grilled octopus All the course were delicious and we can't list a favorite. As, all were delicious and our favorite Mediterranean food in NH

You MUST come to here! I was in Burlington for a conference and spent quite a bit of the evenings exploring Church Street, as you do when in Burlington. We came across this cute place, looked at the unique menu, and got on the waitlist to sit outside. And BOY am so glad that we did. This place is nothing short of amazing. Our server, Ellis, was incredibly attentive and when I asked about gluten-free options, he brought me gluten-free menu and explained how things could be modified if they weren't completely gluten-free. He recommended great drinks and told us that he advises people to order two plates per person (or more if you are very hungry) since plates are small and meant to be shared. Everything we had was AMAZING. From the crudité, to the haloumi, to the harissa chicken wings, to the lamb kofta, everything was amazing. I cannot wait to come back here...I just need to find a time to fly back to Burlington.
