Halal food

As a Muslim, I was very happy to see that campus dining started serving halal meat!!

There Is No FRESH Food at All.

The food is terrible, over priced, unhealthy, etc.

The only viable options for grad students are LaCava, Einstein Bros., and Dunkin Donuts. At LaCava, you can get away with decent food if you avoid the meat. I don't think they use fresh meat at all. It all tastes like it was frozen and they just microwaved it and put it on a bun. Sometimes it's not even cooked at all- the 'grilled' chicken, for example, is just defrosted and served at room temperature- GROSS. Also, avoid all the soups. They try to make it go farther by adding flour and water, making a thick, tasteless paste-like texture. Sushi is good and affordable, though.

Also, it closes at 6:30, but classes start at 7:30. It would be nice if they accommodated their nighttime students by staying open a bit longer.

Einstein Bros. is ridiculously overpriced. $7 for a bagel with ham and cheese on it? With no sides? No. And why do they not allow coffee refills? Every other Einstein Bros on the planet lets you refill your coffee on the same trip.

And usually I have a lot of love for Dunkin Donuts, but the on campus one is subpar. The drinks are always really watery for some reason.

Decent

Seasons (the main dining hall) tends to become repetitive in its options after a while but people who say that they're sick and tired of Seasons just have to be a little creative. Putting whip cream on your dessert or chicken in your salad spices things up a bit. Although Bentley prides itself on having internationally diverse foods, they're veeery far away from being even close to authentic. Einstein's bagels in the library tends to be full from opening to closing and Lower Cafe (La Cava) is only open for lunch so people tend to order Yella's late at night or take-out.
