I've lived in Hamtramck and Detroit all my life and only came here recently (embarrassing I know). Don't be like me and sleep on this place. The food is absolutely phenomenal and reasonably priced. They're best for carry out or catering (obviously now with COVID) since the inside is snug and may have a table or two. They have a huge menu and you can place your order online! read more

Great food, friendly service. No Frills, a casual spot for yemeni food. We enjoyed shawarma wraps, they are finished in the panini press to give a nice crisp to the pita. We enjoyed the boostan Shwarma Sandwich, lamb Shwarma, a refresh mango smoothie. We also loved the garlic sauce on the side. Thank you to the friendly staff and service is pretty quick. read more

Boostan Cafe - American Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

Got pickup for an online order, Really good hummus. It's flavorful and smooth. Fast service too, i would recomend.

They recently just opened back due to Covid-19. They were one of the last restaurants to open in Hamtramck though :-( and the only restaurant raise there prices with a limited Menu... The staff is nice and they have this tea there that is so good and sweet. Also, they have some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. Oh make sure you use your Yelp check in to get your Mango drink!!! Even though the menu is a bit limited. This never stopped me from coming back. Five Stars from me!!!!! read more

Today was my first time trying this place and I am in love! The guy at the front was very sweet, the food is affordable and very tasty. I ordered the chicken shawarma, fattoush salad and the mixed fruit juice which was soooo good. The chicken shawarma reminds me of what Bucharest used to taste like but double the price. I'll be back for sure. read more

This is the definition of a hole in the wall ethnic gem. We went based on the yelp reviews and had no regrets. We each got a sandwich and a juice and the large fries was plenty for 3 to share. We sat outside and were grateful for the nice weather that day. We will definitely be back - especially when carry out sandwiches fit the bill. read more

One of my fav spots for middle eastern food! Especially love that they're open later. It's hard to find any vegan-friendly spots past like 9 pm, and their food is soo yummy. I need to go back and try one of their smoothies too! read more

Amazing , the mango juice is to die for and the hummus is fresh and clean. The chicken was seasoned nicely and not salty like some places. The juice was soo good and I had to order 3 more. The staff is also friendly and nice read more

My husband and I gotten take out on our wedding night after the party and after eating their food we got food poisoning and never orders from there again. read more

What a diamond in the rough!! This place is fantastic. The service is wonderful. The young men who are behind the counter are delightful. The food that you get is a great portion. I ordered a lamb kabob plate (1 kabob- medium well) which comes with 3 sides (rice or fries, salad, and hummus). It was cooked to perfection. My friend ordered a large salad with salmon. Each came with pita bread and garlic sauce. I'll definitely be back when in the area. read more

Stopped in here for a quick bite, was in the area and needed nourishment. Nice little place, gets a good amount of foot traffic so you know it's gotta be good. Got a nice like falafel sandwich, that was actually more of a wrap? It was super tasty, only like $4, lot more filling than the stuff you'd get at subway and such and for a lot cheaper. read more

This place is now our new favorite! We were very loyal to another place in Hamtramck, but their food quality has gone down significantly over the past several years with their prices rising. We were looking for a new place, and this is it! The food is delicious, the prices are right, and the people are very friendly! read more

Authentic and delicious, very fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and ordering online is a breeze. The falafel is particularly good!

I think I have my math right: Delicious boostan schwarma + (very) spicy hot fries + delicious free mango juice with Yelp check-in + free hummus and pita bread thrown in + free rice pudding dessert thrown in + free hot tea while you wait for your food = I'm definitely coming back! The food is already super cheap and delicious but, with the Yelp deals, there's no excuse not to stop by! read more

The best in town. Great location great food and best service. And the price and value was pretty good.

It's a small Cafe, Meditteranean food in the heart of Hamtramck, Michigan, I have been there many times, and the food is delicious. I've tried the boostan wrap, made with chicken and their special sauce wrapped tightly in pita bread. The smoothies are great, and I love the complimentary hot milk tea. read more

I tried this Mediterranean restaurant while I was in Detroit because it had a lot of good reviews. I got the chicken shawarma which was okay. I got a "whole plate" to go which came with a lot of food. It was $15, usually I pay around $8-$10 back home. The chicken however, had no seasoning! I have definitely had better Mediterranean food although, the pita bread was the best I have ever had. It was softer and chewy which I loved. The hummus that came with the bread was average. I would add more seasoning in general to the dish. I would not come back here but I do recommend it to people in the area. read more

A couple friends and I took a chance on this small cafe when we wanted a late-night bite while staying in the area for an early-morning airport run. We were blown away! The staff were sincere and helpful, and seemed personally invested in the business and in us having a great first experience there. We watched them make the smoothies with fresh fruit, everything we ordered for dinner was delicious, and the baklava was better than most. The prices were reasonable, portions were generous, and we enjoyed the hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. Most of all, we really felt that the staff went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible experience. These guys deserve lots of business and a good tip! :) read more

I've recently discovered a wonderful, traditional Egyptian street food dish called Koshary (or Kushari) at another restaurant. So, I searched on Yelp for other places that offered this dish. I go to Hamtramck about every 5-6 weeks, so I had to try it! I called in my order for pick up and the young man on the phone was super nice. When I pulled up, it was nice to see that they have a parking lot. Hamtramck can be a little crammed in some areas and parking can also be tricky. It's a very small place, but they have a few tables. Two 4-tops, and two-2 tops. Again, the staff was incredibly nice. I got my food, went home and dug in! OMG.....their Koshary is sooo delicious. It's full of flavor! They included two types of dressing. I'm assuming one is mild and the other is hot like the last place I had it. I didn't use either because I felt like the Koshary was already bursting with flavor. Koshary is definitely comfort food and full of carbs! Rice, macaroni pasta, short spaghetti pasta, lentils, a spiced red sauce and a lot of sautéed onions on top. If you need to carb load, this is the way to go! Their pita is store bought, but it's actually a lot softer than other places that I've gotten it from. I also got a salad, which was pretty standard for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants. I really enjoyed it. This will be a regular stop when I'm in Hamtramck! read more

This tiny, not fancy place has the best chicken kabobs I have ever eaten. The chicken is juicy, the rice is flavorful and has nuts, the hummus is amazing. The people are nice, too. Worth a stop for slow food cooked made with love and pride. read more

Excellent food!! Very well done. Best shawarma and juice!! I will definitely go back and bring more people. Wonder why they were so busy!

Great food & service at great prices. Loved the shwarma, mango smoothie & vibe of this place.

Excellent food. We ordered lamb and cream chops chicken wrap as well as shish tawook plate with rice and hummus sides. We ordered fresh mango juice. All the food was excellent and freshly made. The owner is an excellent human being and gave us a juice drink for my little daughter. Everyone should try there chai. It's excellent excellent excellent flavor. I will bring my mother here just for the chai. Great food guys. Keep it up. Hope to come back soon. read more

This is such an unique little eatery place, even though the store front is very small compare average cafe's. But the quality of their food and friendly service is definitely top notch! I love how they have a free mango juice for the first time check-in yelpers, and let me tell you this, if you don't try their mango juice "you must have been a fool !" I mean how could you turned down a freshly made mango juice in front of your face when the mango they use is just next to the window looking juicy and fresh!! I come here with my boyfriend for the first time today and we used the voucher deal they are offering right now, even though we got to save some money at here, but this is really not a expensive eatery especially for the quality and price they are offering, the half size chicken sharwarma comes with three sides! The portion of his food is already beating some of $16 dinner plater other place is offering. The owner is very nice and offered us some of their dessert for free. Oh! And their special tea taste really good too, I forgot what it is called, but is right by the front door, the tea make us feel really relaxed after we had it. come and get yourself some food before it run out,lol. read more

After reading all the sterling reviews, I had to try it. They lived up to the raves. I had the lamb schwarma sandwich. Generous portion and perfectly seasoned and prepared. I also had a "small" hummus that was huge. To drink, I had delicious, fresh mango juice. I was happily stuffed but then was treated to a couple of complimentary pastries and chai tea. All in all a perfect lunch. BTW, I met two locals who said they eat here every day. Now that's an endorsement for both quality and value. read more

GREAT place! came here b/c of a yelp deal and i am SO happy i did so. i got the chicken shwarma sandwich with rice and bread and garlic sauce and hummus... and yum. i had to wait approx 15 min and they made a me a fruit smoothie while i waited, gratis! Also they have this yum tea sitting in the thermos while you are waiting. ill update more but i wanted to be able to rate this place . read more

What a great place. Great authentic food, cheap, really nice friendly owners and delicious complimentary Chai tea. I came with 2 other people and we ordered the feast for 4. It was huge. It was more like a feast for 6. The garlic sauce is a must. I'll definitely be back read more

So glad my friend told me about this small little restaurant because my experience was simply fantastic. First of all, the people who work there are incredibly nice, they welcomed my friends and I as if we entered their home. We also got to try out some Middle-Eastern sweets. Now that's customer service! The food: The Boostan Shawarma Sandwich is a MUST try. Better than the typical shwarama sandwich, this amazing-ness is accompanied with their delicious boostan sauce. I've tried a lot of shawarma sandwiches but this one takes it for me folks. I also tried the Magnoona Sandwich, which has scrambled eggs with strawberry jam and cream cheese. I actually really liked that too, could go great for a late breakfast. Drinks: The mango smoothie. No need to say more. Overall- great places, with great prices! I'll be back! read more

Husband and I ordered takeout from here this evening. Husband ordered a chicken ghallaba dinner, which was $10.99 and came with 2 sides according to the online menu. We were charged $5 for his salad. The ghallaba was a greasy mess with minimal chicken. My mango smoothie had peels blended into it. Would not reccomend. read more

First time trying it a few nights ago. Got the fattoush salad and chicken cream chop sandwich. Enjoyed the salad however the sandwich was okay. It was kind of dry. Will try a different sandwich next time. read more

great food! haven't had food this great since Dubai. i really enjoyed this and find myself going every time im in Detroit

This restaurant is super small - there are a few little tables inside and a few more outside. The menu was in English and Arabic, so I had a good feeling. Liked that I could order online. I was in a rush and travelling from a bad part of town to the hospital, so this was on the way. I ordered a falafel sandwich and that was it. The 3 choice meal for $7 was tempting, but I wanted to eat while driving and didn't need the pop. So just got a sandwich. The falafel was fresh and crispy, they put garlic on it per my request. And I loved that the sandwich is grilled, that is so tasty! I liked it. Not sure if I'll find my way there anytime soon, but I kinda hope I do... read more

Best spot in hamtramck. A 20$ combo is 3 meals worth of food and it is so good. Their smoothies are unreal too. Best around.

Dry ass burgers. I also ordered a salad from them one night at work, and they gave me a burger. I was going to ask for a refund but I wasn't going to hold up my coworkers. Don't come here. read more

The food was good. We had falafal sandwich and chicken kafta sandwich. It is a small place mainly good for takeout. The falafal and mango shake were really good. 3 stars mainly coz the ambience is not so great and the service was slow. read more
