    What a wonderful experience my sister and I had. Food, service and ambiance were great. We had the dip tower, manti, duck burek, filet skewer, rice and brussel sprouts. Everything was superb but the duck burek was so special and was made with such finesse. Will definitely be back!

    Great middle eastern style food. Some options I expected were not on the menu like gyro or saffron basmati rice but what we did order were great traditional dishes.

    Our server Leo was outstanding as were the other servers. The food was excellent! We requested a quiet table because one of the people in our party has hearing loss and the restaurant was very attentive to that when seating us. We were not rushed at all and the server was able to recommend several items which were delicious Had the branzino, lamb kabob, shnitzel, as large plates. Taboon "bread" was superb. Humous and Israeli salad were excellent. We decided to have dessert and the flourless chocolate cake and other dessert were scrumptious Will definitely go back! Thanks, Bustan for a wonderful evening.

    Excellent food - everything from mezzes to main meals and desserts was fabulous, fresh, full of taste and left us wanting more. Excellent service - our waiter was very knowledgeable about the entire menu and helpful and our water glasses were always full. We were seated in the upper back room, near the wine wall - so it wasn't too noisy but it was very warm, much warmer than the main dining room which was comfortable. We look forward to returning!
