I recommend! Food was hot and fresh. Service was prompt and they keep the restaurant clean! Lunch special was fulfilling and I have plenty more left to eat for later. The menu has plenty of options for the entire family! read more

First attempt was a fail. Decided to give them another try and was disappointed YET AGAIN. I ordered 10 Cajun teriyaki wings, fries and calamari rings. All items were burnt, overcooked and lacked season. The calamari rings were unappetizing. Very disgusting. The wings were overcooked. To add insult to injury, I informed the restaurant I only received 6 of ten wings I ordered. I was then asked, was I sure? As if I could not count. The fries lacked season and was cold to touch. I do not recommend dining here. Highly disappointed read more

1st time. Maybe. 2nd time. I'll keep trying. But the 3rd and 4th attempt for delivery shows whomever is in the kitchen cares zero what so ever. Undercooked meat. Messy plates. Wrong orders. No attention to any request. Do. Not. Order from here. Incredible awful service. Repeatedly. read more

Boeshreen - Terrible service and food. - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Looks like a Little Cesar's pizza with the orange. But the food was hot and delicious!! The place was very clean. And the staff was friendly. Would love to go back. If I had to say something to improve on maybe the length of time it took to receive the food. Although it was well worth the wait! We both enjoyed our food! read more

If you want a healthy bite in the area, then Boeshreen is your spot... it's definitely mine and we've been going for over 5 years now. As a vegetarian, I usually go for the Falafel Veggue combo platter or sandwich. My sweetie usually does the gyro sandwich or wings combo. Seems like most customers order wings from there too, understandably. All the salads are rather tasty too, and we usually get the Greek or garden with our orders (or instead of fries). Have heard the tilapia is good too. The fries can be hit or miss though... probably depends on how often they change the oil I suppose. I wish they still made babagaboush, which used to be an option with the veggie combo, bit I guess they don't have a chef able to make that can make it. What can you do? read more

I definitely recommend this is my first time eating here and it definitely hit the spot only thing is the mic situation when ordering I could barely hear him and vice verse for him who took my order read more

Boeshreen - 9. Wings Combo Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Food is made fresh. I like that every thing is hot and made to order. I go here at least once a week for dinner.

Food- 10/10 the food always turns out amazing Service- 10/10 the cashiers I've encountered have always been really nice Ambiance-8/10 I never see a lot of people in there but it's always a get in and out trip for me If you are looking for something late at night this is the perfect place to get it from read more

My favorite place to go late night. Hot and fresh food and the same people work there so they build a rapport with you just by your ordering your food. Love this place read more

It's been a minute since the last time I came here and I hope I don't wait too long until the next time. Restaurant is clean, organized and quiet. Service was very friendly. And the food was outstanding. I ordered a combo meal of a gyro, five chicken wings and a drink for $13.99. Very good deal. I chose Caribbean jerk rub for the wings which tasted very good. And I ordered a "small" Greek salad for $3.99. The portion fully justified the price. I believe Boeshreen is a great restaurant to represent Decker Blvd as an International Corridor. read more

We love finding small, local gems and this definitely was. We started with the desserts and coffee. Make sure you try the Turkish coffee if you're a serious coffee lover! The gal (with the friendliest smile ever) said it has added cardamom. It was perfect with a little dunkable traditional cookie. But the baklava, in the words of my son "he could eat everyday". I got the veggie plate and the hummus, pita bread, and falafel were exactly what my Greek loving palate was craving. We would come back for sure!! My men had the gyro and grilled meats and both said they were great. Ps: we actually waited until Thursday night to get the traditional menu, but they no longer offer that. read more

The restaurant is clean and neat. The cashier usually is very friendly. I usually order the wings combo but the last two times I ordered my wings was not that good. Not sure what happened but it is always a wait, so I am assuming everything is made to order but I might be wrong. read more

Sadly, I did not get photos because we got our food to go. However, everything was very fresh. We got on your wings and fried green beans and the sweet corn bread. Yes, please don't let the Atwater parents stray you from going into this restaurant. The inside is absolutely welcoming and beautiful with delicious options and baked goods in the display cases. Will definitely go back to try other options! read more

Everything was fantastic the food and service and ambiance was good and very lively. I would go back again.

Amazing and hot food, freshly made. Mediocre service. Cute dining space. Havent seen a place where you can eat on a sofa in a while. Comfortable. We ordered a smattering of menu items to sample different things. Grape leaves, lamb platter, the Classic gyro, falafel, and all of the desserts. Everything there is a little old school but the food is good and they were busy as coule be. Stready stream of pick up orders came and went during our dining experience. There is a snoball stand at the front of the restaurant. A little unique but it was not operating. It looks like this place has been a couple of different things over its lifetime. Food was good. Pricing was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some good mediterranean food. read more

Boeshreen had been on my list of places to check out for the better part of a year, and after my experience I don't know how it has the reviews it does. My daughter and I went for lunch on a Friday around 1:30 and the place was completely empty. I legitimately wondered if they were open, because the lights were off, nobody was at either counter, and the food warmer section was completely empty. A nice younger guy came out of the back and took our order (1 Lamb Gyro combo and 1 Philly Cheesesteak combo), and we went to go get a table. First off, every single table was sticky. This combined with the musty smell and the fact that the men's restroom didn't flush made me question what the kitchen must look like. Our food came out after about 10 minutes and was piping hot. Presentation was pretty nice. The fries tasted like Ore-Ida frozen fries with some sort of seasoning sprinkled on, but were crunchy and fresh. The lamb gyro and the philly meat tasted the exact same - the only difference was the bread and the veggies. I went to the counter to ask for some extra napkins and ketchup - was two of each for two people. Overall, I was really disappointed. Maybe we came on an off day given the fact they've got some pretty good reviews, but many of them are older. Either way, Boeshreen is a hard no in my book. read more

Placed an order via DoorDash for lunch one day thinking it would be quicker than going in to order and wait. I was sadly mistaken. I got there and there were at least 4 people waiting for food. I thought my food would be ready seeing as I ordered more than 30 mins ago at this time. I waited another 20 mins (being generous) and finally received my food. This review is not all bad! I just had to lead with my disappointment to deter anyone from thinking that this is a 'grab and go' type of place. Customer service was great. The restaurant seems to be family owned and everyone works hard to get food out, that I could certainly tell! I ordered a chicken gyro with French fries. I ordered my husband the mixed grill combo which consisted of chicken, lamb, and steak over rice. I also grabbed a slice of pecan pie and lemon cake with raspberry drizzle. I arrived home with our food and it was still piping hot! It smelled amazing in the car but I kept myself from digging in although I was starving at this point. The food certainly made up for my disappointment in regards to wait time! My gyro was so tasty it was literally perfect! The French fries were so crispy and very well seasoned! My husband isn't much of a fry guy but he helped me finish off the fries quickly, I'll definitely order extras next time. I tried a few bites of hubbies combo and I'll be getting what he chose my next visit! The meat in the combo is so tender and pairs so well with each other! I was pretty stuffed afterward so decided to save my desert for later. I wasn't expecting the desert to be as good as it was honestly, it was very comparable to many small bakeries I've had in the area. I was very happy with my food and customer service and will certainly be back! read more

Best Philly Gyro I have ever had. So delicious. The manager was friendly and accommodated my special request. Definitely coming back. read more

Boeshreen - Philly Gyro with a Greek salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This place never fails to disappoint. They have legit middle eastern food with that level of comfort one would experience with eating it. One side is their food cafe side, the other is the drink/coffee cafe side. Their cookies in the jars are SO GOOD. They are not overly sweet, almost remind me of a subtle version of a shortbread cookie. I ate the whole small jar within less than 2 days! I do miss their baba ganoush. They had it within past 2 years and suddenly it went away the last time I visited. It was definitely by far my most favorite of their entire menu. Their other food options are incredible. I would ask for extra white sauce with the order. They have that recipe down pat! The staff are always a pleasure to work with there and each visit is worthwhile. Definitely worth trying! read more

Still have the same feelings about this restaurant. The food is lackluster and is one of the weakest points of Columbia, SC. I have had the chicken gyro, oysters, cheese fries, and many more options. None of them is worth going back to the restaurant. read more

Cashier was rude. The food has no flavor really. The lettuce on the Philly cheese steak was brown and tasted sour. It was dead when I walked in and the restaurant just seemed run down. Not impressed. read more

With truthful words, this was actually pretty good. My grandpa and grandma know the guy who owns this, and we go there sometimes to talk to them. Sometimes the food was nasty, but most of the time, I actually enjoyed it! The service is kinda... good. And the ambiance is alright. read more

Tried out a number of menu items (shakshuka, kofta, lamb gyro over rice, walnut baklava, and carrot cake) for takeout, and most items were pretty solid. I don't know what spices they used for the rice, but it was addictive. Good thing the lamb plate's portioned for two meals! Fair prices. Loved the carrot cake cream cheese frosting; it was just subtly sweet, the way I like it. The baklava, on the other hand, was overwhelmingly sweet, so don't recommend that. The building design is a bit odd. There's a snowball/dessert shop on left side and a separate hot entree side on the right side. Lots of menu screens with photos, which is helpful to know what you're ordering if you're not familiar with Mediterranean food. Service was friendly, and I'm looking forward to trying some other items. read more

Boeshreen - Mediterranean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This particular location has existed for a few months per the current owner, but the original establishment has been around since 1925. I was craving Mediterranean food & we liked the yelp reviews, so we decided to give it a try. We were initially thrown off & a little skeptical when we saw the empty parking lot,but ordered anyway since we'd bypassed several restaurants in search of this one. I ordered the lamb gyro special with Greek salad & the hubby ordered the beef gyro special with fries. Although I thought the meat could've used a bit more Greek seasoning, overall we were both pleased with our meals. the pita & meat were moist & the fixings fresh. The carrot cake was a little klunky looking & dry in my opinion, but my husband (the "foodie in training") didn't mind eating it. The baklava was sort of dense but ok (unsure if it was freshly made?). Overall, this restaurant gets 4 stars for our made to order gyro combos & the pleasant customer service we received . read more

They do require masks when ordering. If dining in you may take your mask off once they serve you food/drinks. Very friendly staff. Food arrived hot and within a few minutes. I had the beef gyro and baba ganoush. Both were delicious. Perfect spot to grab a quick lunch. read more

I was the frist customer here and years later I'm still here love this place ! good so good and fresh and great customer service and the best part about it all they open late so now you have a variety of on the menu versus just McDonald's and waffle House pull up.‼ read more

I like it here! Local food that serves a wide audience. I'd say it seems authentic but I wouldn't really know. I've come a few times and always enjoyed my food. Today I think I may have gotten the wrong order -- but was hungry so ate it anyway. Still delicious! I want to try their coffee and desserts. Great prices and lunch specials. I recommend you support this establishment :) read more

As someone who has eaten here for 3+ years , Boeshreen is slowly starting to go downhill with its employees and its business in general. I miss when it was actually "Family Owned" . Recently ive noticed for those who may have a fish allergy that the fries and anything deep fried are cross contaminated, i feel as if boeshreen has always treated their regulars with love and given the upmost satisfaction previously with old members but recently the people seem careless, rude, and could care less about any complaint. I think its pretty crazy how a small cup of ranch is 50¢ , and there's only enough sauce in the cup for maybe 1 wing ( if you're really a ranch on your wing person you know what im saying) . The wings have been overly fried hard recently to where some parts are almost too hard to eat, and they have been alot smaller than they have been over the years. Any request put in will not be followed especially on door dash because unfortunately they wanna charge you $$$ for everything but have yet to add the option for Al La Carte . read more

Have eaten her many times for lunch, and love going there. Atmosphere is a bit sterile but the food is outstanding in my opinion. the lunch specials are great, and it is not the same-old stuff you see at fast food places. I highly recommend a person try this place and make up your own mind. I keep coming back. read more

Shrimp and chicken is delicious. Great customer service. Restaurant is clean. Every time I have went there I had a good customer service with the managers. read more

This is one of my favorite wing spot and the only place in Columbia where I get my gyro. My orders are always on point, the price is good and the food is better. I usually get the lamb gyro(bomb) but decided to give the chicken one a try and it did not let down, this is definitely a place to try out. read more

I have to say that this place blew me away! I was expecting run of the mill middle eastern food but wow this place blew my mind! I got a whole bunch of food for little price.... I had the lunch special of beef with peppers and onions over rice with a bowl of soup and salad and a drink. I also added a side of hummus and pita! I left with so much on my plate bc I couldn't eat it all. This never happens. If you are ever near here and are hungry please try it! You and your wallet will leave full! The deserts are going to be on my next visit they looked so delicious as well. read more

I returned in Aug. 2021 while driving back across country after dropping my kid off at college. They were empty because of Covid, but I had a great gyro sangwich. Would eat here any time in while Columbia, SC. It was fun to return and I wish them well as things reopen. I want to hit that steam table of lamb shanks with meat falling off the bone. read more

The place was empty but the food was delicious. Definitely going back to try different things on the menu. Fast service as well.

How did this get so many good reviews? Ordered a lamb gyro with only tomato. Basically a tomato and pita. Microwaved pita and microwaved meat. Definitely not authentic. The guy didn't know they served onion rings and he didn't know what tzatziki sauce (cucumber sauce) was, he called it white sauce. The onion rings had good flavor but were very burnt. They would have been great if not overcooked. They came with honey mustard which is just from a bottle. Very expensive and very disappointing. $13.13 was the total read more

Went here close to midnight after taking a DoorDash order here a few weeks prior. It smelled super yummy when I was delivering the food, so I decided to try it out for myself. Thank God I did, I was BEYOND impressed. I got the chicken tender meal (to play it safe for my first trip there) and it was absolutely amazing. The Cajun fries are also 5x better than the French fries, in my opinion. My boyfriend got the wings combo, and although he hoped for a little bit more dressing on the wings, he ate every last one (this says a lot, considering he has a food palate of a 5 year old haha). I am definitely going to try the shrimp combo next time we stop here Super happy about living super close to this restaurant because it is definitely a new favorite! If you love cheap, good food, be sure to check this place out!! read more

Great hole in the wall place for fresh and tasty middle eastern food! We love their falafel platter, and always get the fries because they are so well-seasoned. Don't miss this unassuming restaurant! read more

I wouldn't eat here at all, let me tell you why. Me and my husband decided to check this place out, so we went inside and the people who was serving the food didn't have no gloves!! They were touching all the fresh ingredients that you choose without gloves!! The worst part was that when my husband asked them to put gloves on please the refused and got made, telling him that if he didn't like it to go elsewhere ( Fine with us because we weren't about to eat out of their dirty hands) When we asked for a refund they got more mad and threw the card at my husband like WE just did something wrong, all we wanted was our food served using gloves THATS ALL! Horrible Service!! read more

One of the few halal restaurants in the area. Excellent taste, quality, portion size, and price! I have tried many things on the menu, and they are all great. I haven't tried the desserts or coffee though. I take one start off due to the sometimes awkward service. There is a hot bar as well as some things which are made to order. If in a group ordering from both types of menu items, the hot bar food would be ready much earlier than the made to order. You can alleviate this by ordering the hot bar food some time after the made to order food. Also, you may have to wait a bit if the cashier is assembling someone's food from the hot bar. read more
