How to Get a Reservation at Sarma in Boston
Sarma in Somerville opens reservations on Resy 30 days out at 10am, the window clears fast, and a 20-seat walk-in bar handles the overflow, so timing the drop or catching a cancellation is the way in.
The short answer
Sarma on Pearl Street in Somerville is Cassie Piuma's wildly popular modern Mediterranean meze room, served with roving trays of surprise bites. It is one of the hardest casual tables in the Boston area, and it runs on a clear, timed booking window rather than guesswork.
Tables for up to six open on Resy 30 days in advance at 10am, and the desirable slots clear almost immediately. The bar holds about 20 seats for walk-ins, which is the backup when the book is full.
How booking works at Sarma
Sarma releases its book on a rolling 30-day window at a fixed morning hour, so the release behaves like a ticket on-sale. Larger groups of seven or more book a separate fixed-menu experience through an inquiry form rather than the standard listing.
- Reservations for up to six open 30 days out at 10am on Resy.
- The prime slots clear within minutes, so be ready at the exact release time.
- About 20 bar seats are walk-in only, first come first served.
- Groups of seven or more use a separate fixed-menu inquiry; check current pricing on the live listing.
The best strategy for Sarma
Treat the 10am release like a concert drop: logged in, card saved, dates chosen, fingers ready. If you miss it, the cancellation wave in the final 48 hours is the next best shot, and the walk-in bar is a reliable fallback on a weeknight. Confirm the exact release time and party cap on the live listing, since house rules change.
