Finally a 24h restaurant with delicious food & with very friendly staff. Thank you to Amer for the very nice & respectful service. It started my day on a very positive note!
Boustan is a delightful gem for lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine. Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, this restaurant delivers an authentic & flavorful experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. The menu is diverse, offering a wide array of dishes that cater to both meat lovers & vegetarians alike. I started with the Vegan Shawarma plate, & it did not disappoint. The veggies were fresh, crunchy, perfectly spiced, & accompanied by fluffy rice, fresh salad, & creamy garlic sauce that added a perfect tang. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave with a satisfied appetite. The Falafel Saj wrap was another highlight. Crispy on the outside & moist on the inside, the falafel was complemented by fresh vegetables & a drizzle of tahini sauce, all wrapped in a soft, warm saj. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a vegetarian option. One of Boustan's standout features is its dedication to freshness. Each bite tasted as though the ingredients had just been picked & prepared with care. The service was also top-notch; the staff were friendly, attentive, & more than willing to make recommendations based on your preferences. Overall, Boustan provides a memorable dining experience with its delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, & excellent service. Whether you're a longtime fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, Boustan is sure to impress.
We ordered mixed shawarma plates, & they were super fresh & tasted amazing. We forgot to add salad to our plate, so we went back to buy it, & the cashier refused to let us pay for it. Everybody was nice & respectful, so I really don't know what all those complainers are talking about.
Great food, awful service. They don't bother explaining the options & just choose for you. Now I'm stuck with a meal I didn't even ask for. Should've asked him to stop before he shoveled everything on. 🤦
This time, food was indescribable. Both tabboule & fatouch had no sauces, very dry, just a bunch of veggies put together. Tabboule had turnips & bread, a premiere for tabboule. Very disappointed.
