I decided to give this place a try today. Picked up a Boostan shawarma and cream chop sandwich. Both were really good. Since they are only 2 blocks away from me I will definitely be giving the other menu items a try. read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Fast & friendly staff. It has 3 small tables, because it has a huge carry-out business. Love the Boostan Shawarma. The falafel sandwich is also fantastic. You really shouldn't leave without one of their amazing smoothies. It will make your day. read more

Very simple and delicious. Street food that tastes like the homemade. Young amazing boys. Keep it up you all deserve 5stars for real.

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

We came in for lunch and ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich, shawarma plate & dolmas. They were amazing!! We also had a fresh mango smoothie. Everything was fresh and delicious!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in hamtramck. The boostan shawarma sandwich is the best.

Ordered carry out for dinner due to their 5 star yelp rating. And couldn't agree more than everyone else!! Not only are their prices more than fair but so are their portions. I got the Shawrma plate and it is so good! Chicken is juicy, rice is perfect, hummus is generous and authentic. And for those garlic sauce lovers- it's so perfect. Their customer service was the best I've had in a while. They even left a free desert! Will be back, weekly most likely! read more

Friendly cheap large selection of food and fresh juice. Excellent addition to the tram.

Absolutely amazing food, most friendly employees I've ever met, such amazing customer service and they make very great smoothies as well.

Alright, so I've had some things from here, not bad at all. I like the natural fresh aspect of this place. I'm into halal meat. This place has officially bumped fast food places out since it's affordable/cheap compared to most other places, and it's fresh to boot. I've already bumped fast food places off my quick lunch bites in NYC, but this is my first time doing it here in Michigan. 1) Lamb Shawarma 5/5: I'm not a fan of shawarma in general, with that said it's your basic shawarma. My boy toy swears by it though, and prefers their pricing compared to other places, so when we are around that's what he's getting. The 5/5 rating is by those who ate it when we were together. 2) Double Cheeseburger 5/5: Yum. One chunk of fat that I had to dump, but other than that it was a huge delicious burger. I would have told them no mustard though, but I didn't know it'd be on it. Not a dealbreaker, I'd eat it again even with the mustard, but the mustard was over the top, it saturated the bun. 3) Hot Fries 3/5: Okay so they have a few fries on their menu, hot fries being one. I mistook hot for "spicy". They were just plain fries. They were good, but they weren't spicy. Not an issue, price was no different than their plain fries. Only reason it's a 3 and not a 5 is for the mistake in order, as plain fries i'd rate them 5/5. 4) Boostan Shwararma 5/5: If you've had a crispy ranch snack wrap from mcdonalds, this beats it. the crispy chicken is replaced with chicken shawarma, and fresh veggies are PACKED in. YUMMY. the sauce. the sauce. love it. this is what has led me to wave goodbye to fast food. 5) French Fries 3/5: These were packed with crushed black pepper, which would have been perfectly fine, except they were intended for a toddler. I think these were suppose to be the "hot fries". I enjoyed them tbh; 0/5 for toddler. 5/5 for me because I put fresh black pepper on my fries anyway. 6) 1 out of 5 // Rice: I didn't eat the rice, everyone else did, and everyone else said "eww". we're big on rice. pretty much, just salt and cook it right and we're good. The minute I heard everyone disparaging the rice I stayed away. Idk how rice can be screwed up, but evidently it was. I'm guessing it must have been a bad batch or something since everything else points to good-cookin' skills. Sure, the sandwiches are fairly priced, but lets get real, the meals are not. Same price point as other restaurants. I wouldn't order a meal based on the rice review I've witnessed, but I'll order rice as a side another time and give it a shot first-hand. Their sides are also fairly priced. Personally, it's a nice light lunch place, but if I want a sit down dinner with my boy toy or other people I'd totally go to a different place. I could see myself ordering in dinner from here though. They're faster than Royal Kabob, I'll give them that. Check out their menu prices on their site. I'm not a smoothie fan so I won't be reviewing those, or a dessert fan (the ones they have anyway), but I will be back to review other items as we eat them. I'm in and out of town a lot. read more

First time dining at Boostan. Food was delicious!! Grilled veggies weren't the best. Butttt......Falafel was amazing and MUST try the mango juice!!!!!!!!! read more

I am so glad that my friend and I checked you out! As a vegan, it looked like I would find something satisfying here, and I was right. Not only was my meal satisfying, but the whole experience was so positive. From being able to use a few deals here (checking in on the app and receiving a free mango juice; buying a $10 deal for just $5), to tasting delicious ful; to being surrounded by mangoes; to being heartily welcomed by the friendly and grateful folks running the restaurant; to receiving some extra goodies in our take-away order because we mentioned that this was our first time (we received hommus, pita, and rice pudding); to not being charged anything for going slightly over the $10 mark; this was just a lovely experience! My ful was excellently seasoned, and my friend really enjoyed his felafel sandwich. The mango juice was simply out of this world! I am going to tell everyone about how delicious this restaurant is! If you don't try Boostan Café, you are missing out! Hello to Rama and Syaih too! read more

Initially I never gave this place a try because of the aesthetics but to be fair the food is really good. I am very impressed by the quality and service. The Boostan chicken shawarma was awesome also get "The Cobra" juice you won't regret it. read more

Amazing food! The guys were so friendly and the place was clean. We ordered food for 6 people and added a good tip and they threw in hummus and baklava. There are only a few tables so it's primarily takeout, but we were lucky and found seats. I ordered lentil soup, a falafel sandwich, and their tea with milk. It was all so delicious, better than my options in Kalamazoo, which I still enjoy, but man this a step up. If you're spending time in downtown Detroit, it's worth the short drive to skip the crowds and check this place out. read more

Wow. Food was very tasty. Must try the mango fresh juice. Highly recommend the boostan sandwich! Very small place but great food. Worth the trip. read more

Boostan Cafe is amazing. Im so stoked to have found this place. It's definitely a hidden gem in Hamtramck. It tiny but offers a lot! The food is always on point and the staff is so friendly. The mango smoothie is a signature drink here, really refreshing. The complimentary tea sets this place apart from others in Hamtramck. I'm starting to come here more so than Royal Kebab and Yemen Cafe. Keep it up Boostan Cafe! :) I'm excited for the outdoor seating this summer read more

The food here is AMAZING and so so fresh!!! I'm a visitor her in Michigan (work related) ran across this place on yelp. I was NOT disappointed!! The workers here were super friendly and my food was made to order. I've never fully experienced this type of cuisine but am super glad I did! I ordered the shrimp with rice and lentil soup. I must admit the soup wasn't anything like I expected but was my favorite part of the meal! I will be back and I'm so happy I stumbled across this place. All meals come with houmous (hummus) and let me tell you this was the best hummus I've ever experienced and I eat hummus all the time! If anyone is ever near definitely give this place a visit. You get lots of food ( took me 2 days to finish my lunch) I even got a cheesecake on the house! read more

I've ordered for the first time ever food from Boostan Cafe last night. It was a delivery order and I'm already hooked for life. First I've been impressed by their outstanding customer service, and on with their high quality food. I've had the vegetarian Grape leaves, the grilled salmon and veggies. It was so yummy that I fell in love instantly. I'm convinced that every single 5 star review here on yelp and their positive comments are no accident. I'm sure everyone who gave 5 stars easily would've given 10 if they could. I would! Best quality, value and prices. If they were in Dearborn I probably would eat at Boostan Cafe every day. - Thank you so much for everything! read more

Great little restaurant! Very friendly staff! Absolutely delicious food! Awesome value! We ordered the chicken and lamb schwarma plate (HUGE amount of food), and when we requested "no rice" they immediately offered to cook up some vegetables in its place. We had a wonderful experience, a wonderful meal, and we left absolutely stuffed. read more

Great people making some amazing food. got the cream chop shawerma sandwich with mango juice which was perfect for a small lunch. Editing this review to add more info. This place offers really healthy options! Their salad is amazing and their dressing that they give is even better. read more

Good food. Fantastic tea. Friendly service. The lack of stars is not because of the food, but the lack of seating. The restaurant seats 8, so plan on delivery or take out. read more

The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. They're open later than Royal Kabob, which is a plus! Try the Shrimp Ghallaba plate!

Duuudes and ladies, I think I just found my new favorite shawarma place in Detroit. So my boyfriend and I were meeting up with some friends to go fowling but we were super hungry and didn't want to eat hot dogs so we were on the hunt for some good food and fast. It was 10:30 pm and everything was closing, I pulled up the yelp app and zoomed in on hamtramck and this place was the first on the list. I was like shooot 85 reviews with 5 stars and it's open late! We have a winner! We pull up to this little tiny hole in the wall on the corner and at first we were kinda skeptical. We are running out of time and options so we go in anyways. First thing I notice is the smell, let me tell you it's absolutely delicious. Then I see all these fresh fruits in the fridge, on the counter. Then these 3 nice guys greeted us and asked how our day was going. They were Super engaging and even though it was late they didn't seem like they were dreading being there. I really appreciated the customer service. NOW THE FOOD... we got 2 regular shawarmas and some fries they bag our stuff AND THEN these bros give us 2 mango smoothies on the house. These smoothies were so good! Anyways we got to the fowling place and start eating and the shawarmas are great the garlic paste was really fresh. SURPRISE surprise they gave us bread and hummus too! It was awesome. The seasoned fries also deserve an honorable mention. Over all I definitely recommend you give it a try. I'll be going back for sure. read more

started my day with a wonderful smoothie and had a lentil soup that was to die for, got a falafel sandwich to go and it was yums!

Delicious wraps, lentil soup, and mango juice. Would come back here for sure. The lentil soup was thick unlike some other places I've been that have it watered down. The wraps had a great flavor, and the mango juice was just pure mango, it paired well with the food. read more

The best shawarma's I have ever had. Nothing else to say. Wish I had took a picture but I was so hungry I forgot. Will probably be going back on a weekly basis. read more

The food was fresh and delicious, prices were reasonable, and best of all, the staff were incredibly kind. They explained everything on the menu and went out of their way to make sure I was happy with my order. Could not be nicer people or better food. Wish I could give 6 stars read more

The food and staff were great. The chicken shawarma is packed with meat and they offer extra garlic sauce for taste. I asked for a sample of the lamb chili before buying and I wasn't disappointed. It has a slight kick of spice and is very hearty. I'm full from eating half of the chicken shawarma, so I'll feast on the chili later. read more

This is hands down a five star eatery, they use quality ingredients and the food is amazing. They have absolutely the best customer service in the city. And not to forget they have the best and I mean the best fruit smoothies!!!!! read more

Outstanding boustan shawarma sandwich and excellent fruit smoothies. Food came out fast and these guys were all over it! Would definitely recommend and will be back when we hit another Detroit City FC match! read more

Stopped into Boostan Cafe for the first time. I don't even write Yelp reviews, however I think my perfect(probably the most spectacular) fattoush salad I've ever had needs to be mentioned. All ingredients are very fresh, chicken; piping hot off the grill and of high quality, great price, served in a perfect time frame. Employees are super friendly too. Mediocre over priced kabob better step it's game up. 5 outta 5 would recommend. read more

When I first saw the absolute 5stars of this place at Yelp I thought something is not right. I came here for lunch and I found it way above and beyond 5star . This is a small middle eastern restaurant by Hamtramack. Generous tasty portions of authentic food at a really low price. I ordered a combo for one person and wasn't able to finish it. It came with humus and soup. I addition the manager offered a free bottle of water and rice pudding. The personnel was absolutely polite, caring and nice. They have a free Milk tea for the customers placed in the dining area and asked me to try it. That was a kind of experience!!! Bottom line: excellent personnel, great food and warm environment by these guys running the business. Definitely coming back for more and would recommend everyone to do the same(especially there is a promo running $5 for $10 or free mango juice when you check in at Yelp - I got both of them actually thank to the manager). read more

Went after a DCFC game, best way to top off a victory. Great staff, food, and prices.

Everything was excellent, treated like family...lamb kabobs, deboned chicken, mango juice and their chai like tea are winners!!!

My new go to place! They are very kind and remember me when I come in. They were very generous to my family when I brought them in. They made sure they took care of everyone. Very nice people and SUPER great food!! I love this place a lot! Highly recommend read more

This was my first time trying a Chicken Schwarma! OMG! It was so deliciouse. My daughter used to buy these sandwiches all the time and she would say that I need to try it. I just thought it was like a regular chicken wrap. I was so wrong! The garlic sauce is so good! This restaurant serves the BEST Chicken Schwarma's, and they are not stingy with the chicken. Its seasoned to perfection, and enough to feed two people, but, who wants to share?! I ordered their fresh mango juice to go with my Schwarma, and it just topped off the sandwich. It was crowded the day we went, but the wait wasn't long at all. They are so fast! I also tried the shrimp papaya sub, which I was a little sceptical of trying, and all I can say is WOW! Not only is the food great, the staff is amazing and so friendly. I am so glad my daughter talked me into going. Can't wait to go back! I've always loved Hamtramck's businesses. They know how to treat customers! read more

hands down best food, fresh food, best prices, best portions, best smoothies really made from fruit, its really gets no better and the home made dressing is SO delicious. read more

Just opened. Food is great. Staff are nice and friendly definitely recommend people to try this place.

After living in Hamtramck for so long, I'm so happy that there is a fresh new restaurant that serves AMAZING food. Literally the best chicken shawarma I've ever had. The service was absolutely perfect! There juices are amazing and so fresh. My new favorite place to go. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

Oh my, the food!! So good and so much of it! Best hummus I've ever had and they serve a delightful garlic paste with everything. They gave us free desserts just because it was our first time in. Will be back anytime I'm nearby. read more
