Good food. I just remember a time where Uber was not needed. Where I feel food was uniquely flavourful. Not disappointed. Just good libanese food. I have a feeling it was more tasty before. Boustan was apart of its class. I Still recommend. By the way, so tired of bol (bowl). There was more passion in assiette. my opinion only.

The food was tasty, maybe not the best I've had, but enjoyable & worth trying. There's a good variety on the menu, & everything we ordered was okay.

The service was a bit inconsistent. At times the staff were very friendly & welcoming, but on other occasions it felt less warm, which made the experience a bit uneven.

I also had some minor concerns about cleanliness, which I think could be improved. It didn't ruin the visit, but it's something the restaurant could definitely pay more attention to.

Overall , the experience wasn't bad for the price. The portions were actually quite generous, & the food itself was tasty. They did mix up our order; giving us a chicken sandwich & meat bowl instead of a chicken bowl & meat sandwich, but honestly, no complaints there since both were still good.

One downside, though, was the strong smell of burnt oil in the restaurant, which was pretty unpleasant. Also, the place didn't seem to have proper air conditioning, which made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable.

The staff is always friendly & welcoming, even during busy times, & they work efficiently to get your order ready. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or looking for something tasty & filling, Boustan never disappoints! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 .
