    This is good food. It took a minute for our order to be made, and the meat combo is an enormous portion. It says "for two" but it could feed six. We ended up with an insane amount of leftovers. Delicious but I would have just gotten a sharma instead since it's a more reasonable portion. This is clearly a popular place with locals who call in their order. Call ahead or it might take a minute.

    We got the lamb soup, chicken and beef, and mango smoothie to go. The lamb soup kind of tasted like beans and lentil soup of sorts, I was expecting more lamb flavor to it. Of the chicken and beef combo platter, I liked the chicken more; it was flavorful and tender. On the other hand, beef was a little harder to chew on. Mango smoothie has subtle hints of spices added to it, which I like of the flavor. But the smoothie was just a little too sweet for me and I had to water it down a bit.

    Fries and Boostan Garlic Sauce

    So yummy! And so affordable. Tried the halawah with cheese and curly fries. Garlic is so yummy.

    Got half deboned chicken. Was pretty good. Two large pieces of chicken, white meat, one a bed of rice pilaf. It came with two sides, which I chose lamb soup and hummus. For greater than $15 it was reasonable value. Hummus was good tasting. Lamb chili was hearty and delicious. Service was so-so. I called and asked for recommendations, and they seemed annoyed. The chicken was also charred a bit too much and made the taste quite bitter due to overcooked aspects. Can see Pic.

    My cream chop sandwhich was excellent and so was my salad. My salad was huge also and it was apart of a lunch special but I ate the sandwich for lunch and the salad for dinner. Service was smooth and fast and it's nice that it's close to where I work.

    On a Saturday night out with my husband we were looking for a late night bit to eat. Came to this place though I was going to fall in love with the food. Was let down everything I ordered had no flavor I'm not sure if it was because they were getting ready to close or what but for the money I spent I was not interested.

    Randomly stopped at Boostan Cafe. It was conveniently located off the highway, and it received awesome reviews. It's in a small building. The menu was in English, and I believe Arabic. The restaurant was well maintained and clean. The people behind the counter were very helpful, friendly, and patient. We weren't sure of what to order. We ended up ordering a lamb kabob plate and chicken shawarma. They had a good number of patrons ordering and picking up, which is always a great sign that the food is yummy! As we waited, they offered my husband a mango smoothie, which many people were ordering, and he was curious about. It was our first time there, so they gave him a generous sample. It was so good! We got our order and returned to our hotel. The food was absolutely delicious!!! The lamb was so tender, perfectly grilled, and spiced to perfection. The chicken shawarma was also wonderful. We were really delighted.

    What you order versus what you get. Looks nothing like the photo they have on door dash. I literally laughed when i opened up the box.

    This is a small spot next to a liquor shop, mostly a counter takeout spot. It has a 2 2 top table and 4 top table, mostly food to carry here. They have complimentary hot tea in small styrofoam cups. Ordered the chicken shawarma lunch combo plate with hummus and lentil soup. I got the Fattoush Tawook salad sans pita. We added spices to the hummus and to my salad. I prefer my lentil with a bit of lemon juice but it's still pretty good as far as taste goes. They asked if we wanted my salad before the chicken shawarma plate, which would take about 15 minutes. The lentil soup tasted good, but I wasn't so fond of the rice in it, it's not my thing. It was still nice and piping hot and and a decent size portions of the lentil and hummus too. The hummus itself is good, smooth and nice with the spicy kick to it. Their fresh mango juice is super fresh and tasty but it takes a bit of getting used to since they leave part of the mango skins when they blend it all. My husband liked the skin bits in his at least. My first fattoush Tawook salad was smothered in pita chips. The staff is all friendly and all about making your short experience here great. Will go above and beyond to make sure you leave complexly satisfied. Free hot tea while you wait. The chicken Tawook and the chicken shawarma meat are both well seasoned without any garlic butter. Some soccer in Arabic playing on the TV while we waited for food to come out. We tried the finger and another baklava, they weren't bad and a good way to end our meal. I get why this place is so popular and so highly rated, it's good food and decent prices and soup good portions here. Their service here is tops and is better than some 5 star hotels. The owner or manager here is the king of customer service.

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

    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.

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