We found this place on yelp by accident. We purchased the $5 for $10 yelp deal and ordered 2 Chicken Shwarmas, 2 Shish Tawook & some Hot fries. It was ALL delicious!!! So glad we gave it a try, will be back again for sure!! Thanks Boostan Cafe read more

Boostan Cafe - They even included a complimentary dessert!! - American Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

See all

The food was pleasantly great, kabobs for one is my standard for testing. Hummas was great and bread was good. They do fresh squeezed juices, did a basic lemon flavor. The area was full of pot holes, so be ready to dodge and zag. read more

Food and personnel here were absolutely amazing..Ive tried their shawarmas in the last but absolutely loved the Shish Tawook plate. It was huge!! The rice pudding and mango juice were both delicious. Will definitely be back for more. Support local! read more

Very good Mediterranean. Chicken was well seasoned and tender. Also had lentil soup and hummus...both very good. Friendly service staff. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because my meal was $9.99 and they made me order another item in order to honor my $10 Yelp deal voucher...ultra, uber, mega lame. But again, really tasty food. read more

Excellent food. I got a salad with ground lamb meat, falafel and pita with hummus. Probably the best I've ever had. Super friendly guys working there. They gave us a free baklava that was also amazing. We will be coming back. Oh they also had delicious complimentary tea read more

This place is excellent. Probably the best schwarma I've had in a while. The meat at other schwarma places tend to be a bit dry, but this place is perfect. Boostan garlic sauce is the best I've had as well. The staff is extremely friendly. I ordered one mango smoothie, but they made too much; so they ended up just giving me a second smoothie for free. The smoothies are delicious and fresh as well. I definitely will be coming here again. read more

My first time here. Absolutely loved it! Nothing to look at, but, Food is great; staff friendly. Only a few seats, so you may want to take it to go, but worth the wait if you want to sit. Read the review on the wall to help you order if it's your first time. Helped us! Definitely going back. read more

We frequently get take out from here. They are quick, cheap and reliable. Sip on the delicious free tea by the door while you wait on your food. read more

Absolutely spectacular food find! The hot spiced tea was so good and went perfectly with the delicious baklava. So happy we stopped after our trip to the Bell Isle Aquarium. The staff was awesome....and highly recommend the mango juice!! read more

This place is great! NOTE: your direction app might take you past it, ours did. But they have a red sign, so look for that. They can seat 6. It's mostly takeout. We had chicken chop, lentil soup, swarma, the salad, and a few other things. Comes with bread and garlic spread. Yum! Will definitely go back! You can park in the lot. It's on the corner. read more

Again Boostan Cafe knocked it out of the park. Ordered catering for my daughters graduation party and all I can say is that it was the talk of the party. Even before our guests knew what we were serving they commented on how amazing our house smelled. Many of them were on their third plates by the end of the night. Absolutely perfect. Excellent customer service and great prices. Love supporting a independent local business. Keep up the great work!! read more

Wow. Stumbled across this little gem today. They hooked it up!! Got veggie ghallaba with their rice and it was sooo good! Great amount of food. Got a free mango juice for going through yelp and that was delicious as well! Got delivered and took less than 30 minutes...good (but typical) pita bread so garlic paste and hummus very good too! Super satisfied!! Very nice over the phone, great prices..definitely will be coming back here..YUMM is all I can say! & Thank you! read more

This cafe is amazing! The customer service is the best I've ever had and the food is absolutely amazing! I'm definitely coming back as soon as possible! read more

Came here at 10pm for 1 shawarma and the guys who worked there gave me free smoothies, garlic spread and humus to try. Everything was sooo good!! read more

Delicious food at extremely reasonable prices. Staff is incredibly friendly. I will be returning!

Went to Boostan for the first time the other night and it was great! The chicken shawarma was excellent - juicy chicken and just the right amount of garlic sauce. The steak sub was really good too. It had a really interesting sauce on it and I got a hint of Heinz 57 flavor too...whatever it was, it worked. The guys behind the counter were friendly and happily explained some of the menu items to me. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

WoW! The lamb grape leaves are probably the BEST I have ever eaten. I am amazed! The falafel pita sandwich was also among the best. What a gem this place is - I will be back! read more

Pretty darn good food, but the best part was the service. They forgot to give me the Diet Coke in my to-go order, so I went back and they happily gave me the soda and threw in some baklava for the inconvenience. Definitely will return when I'm in the area. read more

This is my favorite place to eat for sure their food is too damn good. From sandwiches to drinks to salads ummm tasty. After I take a bite into their sandwiches I always think about the next bite. These guys are good people. With great food. read more

What a find! I travel a lot for work & came across this place on yelp. It is a small restaurant with very little seating. Most folks were taking their meals to go, but I opted to dine in. This turned out to be a great decision because I got the total treatment from the owner. I ordered the chicken shawarma entree which came with a salad & got a mango juice to drink. As I waited on my meal the owner brought out a complimentary hummus since it was my first time as well as some homemade rice pudding that was delicious. Definitely one of the best meals I have had in Detroit in a while! read more

I was skeptical there could be a restaurant with so many 5 star reviews, but this restaurant is absolutely amazing. Had the shawarma and shish tawook and we could've had 4 meals out of the dinner plate if we didn't scarf it all down. read more

This place is amazing - friendly service, hearty portions, quality food, good prices. An absolute gem. I plan to be back many times in the near future. read more

I absolutely love this place. I'm sad it opened after I moved out of Hamtramck, but you bet I'll be supporting this business all Ramadan for iftar. read more

I was looking for a new place to eat that was open late for myself and partner. We had just moved to the area and this was the first place to pop up on yelp. Everything was delicious and the staff is wonderfully polite and welcoming to us and everyone who came in. Best mango smoothie I've ever had. This is our new go to place! read more

This restaurant is run by the kindest people! But even better than that, the food is amazing. In the running for best chicken shawarma in the metro area. very very good. read more

We have ordered carry-out twice now, once via yelp, once over phone. Both times have been excellent. Very generous portions, excellent quality. Very small, but clean and very friendly service. Gold standard for middle-eastern in metro Detroit. read more

Best place to get a falafel or shawarma sandwich in Hamtramck. Priced well, and everything I've had from them has been delicious.

Excellent food, friendly service. I have been searching for great Middle Eastern food outside of Dearborn for some time. I will be back. I ordered the Boostan Platter for four, which was enough food for 6-8. read more

Great place. On top of already very cheap prices, we found a $15 off coupon on Yelp, so it was a crazy good deal. Fed four people to very full for about $20. We got 4 different sandwiches, plus fries, salad, smoothies, and fresh juice. It was all great. The shawarma sandwiches are definitely the highlight. We also had a Greek salad - this was a little overly seasoned but overall was a great, interesting Arab/Levant take on the classic Greek salad everyone in Detroit has eaten a hundred times. The one sandwich we tried, a breakfast like sandwich, with eggs, cheese and jam, was interesting but, to me, not worth ordering again. It was a bit dry and plain compared to everything else we had. The house sandwich, the Boostan Shawarma (a chicken shawarma with veggies, banana peppers, and special sauce), and the Cream Chop sandwich (a sandwich wrap with a ranch/mayo kind of sauce and hot, freshly fried crispy breaded chicken) were both excellent. The smoothies and mango juice were also great. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is the facility and the service. The staff themselves were great; super polite, helpful, and friendly. But the food was a bit slow in coming I think, for the type of quick over the counter type place you expect it to be. And then the biggest point against it was just how cold it was inside the little restaurant - the staff had their winter jackets on when we first came in. It's really a 4.5 star rating for me. They were really good in just about every category, and so much better of a deal than many of the other middle-eastern cuisines around here. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Tasty falafel wrap, but I like the lentil soup at Ali Baba Shish kabob more. Very nice and friendly service, glad these folks are here.

Best middle eastern food in hamtramack, hands down. Their cooks never let you down, and their service is even better.. If your looking for for some good food at a great price, this is the place to be. read more

It's been a few years and I just want to say the quality of Boostan just gets better. Food is always on point and fresh. I keep finding new things to try and love. The chicken sandwiches and subs are always juicy, unlike a lot of other places that make it dry. Most places overcharge for bbq wings, not boostan! Also the hot fries are great especially on a cold winter day. The cream chop sandwich is still one of my favorites along with the boostan sandwich. The falafels are definitely worth a try too. And to finish it off, be sure to order a fresh smoothie made from REAL fruits. Staff is always polite and nice. This place is truly worth a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Really good Middle Eastern food at fair prices. Friendly service. Love Boostan's hot tea self-serve while you wait for your order. Small place with only a few tables - many customers come in for carry-out orders. Agree that their Mango smoothie is legit. read more

These guys are great! The food is healthy, tasty & plenty. I am a large eater and I got a half plate of chicken schwarma and could not finish my meal. It wasn't for lack of trying...there was just an incredible amount of food...for just over $10! With just a bit of planning, I would think you could even get TWO meals out of it. They are very polite & were patient with my questions. While I was waiting, they gave me some of their special tea. I wasn't sure I'd like it, as I think it had milk/dairy in it...but it was very, VERY good. It was very hot, very sweet, and VERY strong. So it was a good drink. I only had time to drink one quick cup, as my order was done in about 5 minutes. Faster than even some fast food places I've been. HOWEVER, there is simply no comparison. This is much more, tastier, and healthier. Also, think about this....if you commute from one side of the city to the other, it is EASY to stop in if you are on I-94. Just go about 2 miles and you are there. Well worth the side trip. I never would have known they were there without Yelp... They will be going into my regular rotation of places to eat at. For take out, give them a try, you won't be let down! read more

Food was super good!! I had the falafel sandwich with curly fries while my BF had the shrimp papaya sub with lentil soup. They served the delicious garlic spread with bread, which is always a plus! The lentil soup was tasty, and so was everything else!! The mango smoothie tasted like pure mangos blended with nothing else, YUMMY! The in house tea was also fantastic, I think it was chai! Lastly the employees were super helpful and nice!! Would definitely go again! read more

Just ate here and it was good. My daughter enjoyed it and I did as well. Not really a Dine in spot but not a big deal. I would definitely order from their again! Also prices are very reasonable!!! read more

The people that work here are super nice, the food is great and the price is so good. One of my Hamtramck favs

This is our go to for carry out in town. They're friendly, polite, easy to order from over the phone, the food is delicious and super affordable. We probably order from here once a week at least. The Shat Shawish sandwich is my fave but the plates are fantastic too. I love these guys. read more

Hands Down the best restaurant in Hamtramck. And I've been to almost every restaurant in hamtramck. But this place is amazing. The food is delicious. The chicken shawarma and the debone chicken plates are the best. The food is prepared fresh and you can see them cooking it front of you. The smoothies are amazing. The interior is kind of small. If you order here order to go. The customer service is impeccable. They are really nice people. Definitely my go to place. read more

They messed up my order again. Usually the food is good, but this was lukewarm and soggy. Check twice before you leave.
