The Harvard Hillel dining hall serves delicious Glatt Kosher meals and is located right in Harvard Hillel.
Dinner is served nightly, Sunday through Thursday during the academic school year from 5 to 7 PM and is available to all students on Harvard's meal plan. Weekly Saturday lunches are also served. Please note: During the holidays of Sukkot and Passover, the Hillel dining hall will additionally be open daily for lunch from 12-2 PM.
Festive Shabbat dinner (Friday night) and lunch are served weekly, in addition to festive holiday meals. These meal times vary based on the calendar, so see our calendar for updates.

Other Kosher Options at Harvard
The Hillel dining hall is not your only option for kosher dining at Harvard.
Every Harvard dining hall has a Kosher Corner, which includes frozen meals, cold cuts, cheeses, tuna fish, etc, as well as a kosher microwave and toaster oven.
Furthermore, much of the food in the dining halls is certified kosher, including many breakfast cereals, an extensive salad bar, many breads, fresh fruit, and beverages.
Hillel also provides bag lunches for pickup in Loker Commons at the Fly-By area. (You must order a lunch by noon via an electronic form the day before, or with a paper form at dinner at Hillel the day before.)
