Thank you for your contribution. You've taken a huge step to making Povo the "word on the street,"

Sabra's friendly Lebanese staff serves up some of the tastiest Middle Eastern food in the Square. You can get a full healthy meal, packed with vegetables, for around $5. Zesty fillers, from hummus and stuffed grape leaves to lamb or chicken, are available either as “Bazooka Rollers” wrapped up in a large pita ($5-6), or as “plates” served with rice and salad. The shawarma ($7) is a real standout, as is the spinach pie ($3). With only a few formica tables, Sabra is best for take-out, but grab some super sweet baklava ($1.75) before you go. Sandwiches $4-6; plates $4.50-8.50. Very vegetarian friendly.

Don't let the neon lights fool you—Smile Thai serves up real cuisine. Comfortable and laidback to suit the merry masses, this second-floor family-run establishment also has ambience enough for a quiet dinner for two. The appetizer section puts a creative spin on traditional favorites—try the Tod Mun (minced shrimp fried with Thai spices, $5.25). Entrees ($8-17) go beyond tried-and-true rice, curry, and noodle dishes to encompass an impressive seafood selection and some of the tastiest duck in the Square. Though Smile may never dethrone Spice, the long undisputed champion of Harvard Square Thai, it does tempt customers with more substantial desserts—try the fried banana and ice cream ($3.95).

Takemura offers huge servings of nigiri and maki sushi which compensate for its neon lighting and subterranean atmosphere. Connoisseurs can tackle the sea urchin (uni), octopus (tako), and salmon eggs (ikura), while those less adventurous can tackle the California rolls and cooked entrees such as chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura. The “sushi boat” is a fantastic value for 2 people, offering a little bit of everything for under $40, while the individual can splurge on a 10-course special dinner ($38) or go for a bento box that includes a sampling of various dishes for $15. Weekday lunch boxes under $10. The service is a bit spotty and you won't be having sake with your meal unless you bring it yourself. Entrees $8-18.

In the Square's wide selection of Indian restaurants, Tanjore makes its mark with regional specialties. With a longer, more varied menu than your run of the mill Indian restaurant, you're not going to get just a colored chicken curry. This “temple of food” is a vegetarian's delight. The navratan tikka masala ($10) is a lighter, vegetarian version of the ol' standby chicken tikka masala ($11). Come for the plentiful lunch buffet ($7.50), and you'll understand why their motto is “eat at Tanjore and add some spice to your life.” Everything is always fresh, even for the buffet. Have the mango lassi ($3.50) to cool your palate after all that spice. Appetizers $4-9. Entrees $11-14.
