Moona Is Opening a Second Location in Cambridge

An Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in Cambridge is being joined by a second location not too far away.

According to an article from boston.com, Moona on Hampshire Street in Inman Square is going to expand to another space, with this one being on Main Street between Central Square and Kendall Square. The article mentions that owner Mohamad El Zein and executive chef Scott Ryan have plans to make the new place a cafe to start the day while at night it will be a restaurant serving "Levantine-inspired" dinner items, and the space will be larger than its original Inman Square location. If all goes well, the new location of Moona will open later this year.

The Inman Square location of Moona first opened in the fall of 2016.

The address for the second location of Moona is 750 Main Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. The website for Moona is at https://www.moonarestaurant.com/

[January 6, 2026 update: According to its website, the new location of Moona is now open, initially for dinner only, though breakfast and lunch service will be coming at some point.]
