Loukoumades, Greece’s delicious take on doughnut holes, are becoming increasingly easy to find around the Boston area, thanks in part to the rise in fast-casual Mediterranean dining options.

The fried dough balls — crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside — come with a variety of toppings, from honey to Nutella to crushed Oreo cookies.

Here’s where to find loukoumades in Boston and beyond. This map will be updated periodically when new options become available; hit up the tipline if you know of any that should be added.

This fast-casual Back Bay spot boasts five versions of loukoumades ($5-$6.50): Classic, with Greek honey, walnuts, and cinnamon; Yaya’s, with hazelnut praline, Oreo cookies, and powdered sugar; Papou’s, with mastiha creme and pistachios; Tasos, with dark chocolate and coconut flakes; and Golpho, with caramel, almonds, and sea salt. Not into any of the combos? Choose your own from those available toppings.

Gre.co’s big sister in the Seaport District, the full-service restaurant Committee, has been known to serve loukoumades as well, although they’re not on the current menu. Keep an eye out in case they return in the future. They previously appeared as a somewhat savory version with manouri, kasseri, and feta cheeses along with a Greek honey-vyssino (sour cherry) glaze.
