Here are the five most highly rated restaurants in the city according to Yelp:

Singh’s Cafe - 312 Washington St.

Yelp reviewer Leah Z., from Boston wrote: “I can’t say enough good things about the service. Staff goes out of their way to be friendly. Restaurant has a homey and welcoming feel. I’ve gotten take out twice and while I was waiting the staff had me sit down at the bar and gave me a sample of homemade cauliflower soup. The soup was AMAZING. The spices and flavor were rich and warm. It was a really nice touch. I am also impressed by the freshness and quality of the food! The mango lassi has fresh mango in it! I have LOVED every dish I’ve tried here. My favorite dish is the malai kofta but everything is superb. This is the best Indian spot In Norfolk, Plymouth and Suffolk county.”

Cafe Mangal - 555 Washington St.

R B., from Wellesley Hills wrote: “Outstanding meal at cafe mangal. Five serious foodies enjoyed dinner tonight trying three appetizers and 4 different meals. All were beautifully plated and portioned perfectly. Lamb special was tender and rich--spot on for a wintry night. The haddock was served with delicious roasted veggies and my friend cleaned her plate (but I got a taste first!). Finished the meal with fragrant coffee and a decadent chocolate pots de creme....heavenly. Will return soon!”

Juniper -13 Central St.

John P., from Wellesley wrote: “This place is a gem! I have gone the last two Friday’s with my family and got to say it might be my new favorite. The food is amazing! Appetizers are great! Octopus, humus a bunch of healthy and tasty items. For dinner, the lamb bolognese is lights out! The kakvia (Greek fish stew is great) and the Chicken Tagine is awesome too. My wife had Ribeye and that was outstanding. ”

Blue Ginger- 583 Washington St.

Sonia N., from Boston wrote: “This place is just fantastic! It takes a lot for me to say that all three factors were perfect this visit - Service was excellent and professional, ambiance was elegant and romantic and food was tantalizing. We started our evening off with the chef suggested green gazpacho. It was emulsified so thoroughly that it tasted creamy. You forget it’s not prepared with any cream at all. Next we had the pleasure of trying their Shiitake-Leek Springrolls and the Mussels. Both were wonderful and nothing lacked in flavor or presentation. At our server’s suggestion, we tried Korean Rice Cake Stir Fry with Tofu and the Curry Pasta with Vegetables. AH-MAZ-ING! If you only can pick one of these to try, choose the tofu dish.”

Captain Marden’s Seafoods - 279 Linden St.

Big S., from Natick wrote: This place is great. They have the freshest seafood and the prices are so much better than going downtown boston. They have great clam chowder, and on monday’s they do $1 oysters. The oysters sell out quick so its tough to get there after work if you don’t live in Wellesley.”
