Shy Bird - Kendall Square

It seems like most of the reviews on here are for lunch, but this must be the most underrated dinner spot in Kendall square. I was absolutely blown away by the fresh, flavorful vegetarian options! The savoy cabbage, hot honey ricotta, and delicata squash were all out of this world good and should not be skipped! My husband also enjoyed the piri piri chicken and the portion was huge. Shoutout to our waitress Juniper for the great food recs! We will be back.

The herb roasted chicken was decent and juicy and also priced fairly. The smashed burger was cooked a bit too well and lacked a bit of flavor. Overall not bad

Good food with great atmosphere and at the great location, the squash dish was nice. The rosemary fries were amazing. Even the artichoke dip was good. Peri Peri Margarita was amazing.

Visited some friends in Boston who recommended Shy Bird, and it did not disappoint! The half roast chicken hit the spot, with a nice crisp side salad. We also got "SB Dunks" which were just chicken bites served with all their dips. My favourites were the "Spicy Bird Bath" and honey mustard dips.

3.5 stars. Got the double smash burger, standard fare burger. Fries are really strong on rosemary or whatever. I was able to finish all. Decently filling for dinner Food came fast. Came in with friends so we all got different things. They do a nice job with presentation but food itself is not that exciting taste wise. You get water in a glass bottle and some glasses to serve yourself.

I decided to go out for a solo dinner and it was lovely… I sat at the bar and enjoyed my burger and hot tea and it was all scrumptious!

This is a great place to grab sandwich type of meals all centering around fried chicken. As they don't serve Ḥalāl or Kosher options, I went with the vegetarian options. Fries were good and so was the Impossible Burger and Halloumi wrap. A bit tangy the wrap - could've eased on the pickles. Good place to grab a working lunch if you're in the Cambridge area during work hours.
