The happy hour is pretty solid and it's a great atmosphere! Very sleek and modern vibes. The shrimp and lamb appetizer was so good. Shrimps were grilled to perfection and the arugula salad on top is a nice touch.

First time here! Love the ambiance here and the open seating area. They also have a great bar area for cocktails. I love they offer a hand wipe towel to use before you eat. Had a great dinner with friends. Tonight we had hummus, pizza, watermelon salad and the pulpo con chorizo and the donuts for dessert . The octopus was delicious. Prices were high, presentation was beautiful and the staff very helpful. This place is tucked away but was recommended by some friends so we knew where to go. I'll be back

Pesto, Ricotta and New Potato Pizza - very different but absolutely perfect.

i went to Boujiemana for my birthday lunch. I'd never been there before. The food was outstanding - the corn and lobster soup was sensational. The Falafel starter was delicious. My friend and I also shared a pizza - pesto, ricotta cheese, and new potato- sounds quite unique. It was excellent. Our server Garrett was attentive but not hovering. He was warm and welcoming. Service was exceptional. I felt so relaxed. Such a wonderful birthday lunch - I'm telling my family and friends about this very special experience. I hope they try it soon.

Spanish octopus, deviled eggs and candied bacon starters.
Bre R.

Beautiful space and we had good service. We were there Saturday for the brunch. Food is Lebanese influenced and so good. Cocktails and mocktails both beautiful & tasty. Recommend- -Candied Bacon starter. (It's candy) -Lemon ricotta pancakes yum. -Smoked deviled eggs - Spanish octopus on eggplant mole. Amazing. - Shakshuka - definitely delicious and a shareable entree. The prosciutto pizza was good but next time will try a more authentic Lebanese option like Lamb Manoushe. Oh don't forget to tour the unique restrooms. Very Bougie !!

Came here for a girls night out. It's in a little bit of an odd location, but the restaurant is stunning. I had the peach cocktail which was delicious. The smoked deviled eggs were incredible. We also got the whole fish, which was really good and flavorful. Service was amazing. Our waitress was super helpful and recommended cocktails based on our preferences.

Fries with harissa aioli
Smitha A.

The restaurant itself was lovely. Clean, minimalist and in a random location. But who cares. Plenty of parking. They give you fingertips towelettes with your silverware. Excellent touch. And 10 star service. I loved it. They were so attentive but not annoyingly so. All these reasons are why they got 4 stars. Ooh one more reason. The harissa aioli and the fries are amazing. That sauce is killer. Spicy yet flavorful and went PERFECTLY with the fries. Okay let's talk about the wings. And I know nobody is reading these reviews except for other readers. But BM, please read. The wings are completely flavorless under the skin. Bland. Meaty. Maybe soak them in a brine or something before you fry them. They smell so much better than they taste. I will be back to try other things. But not too many gluten free options.

Esteban and X are the best the entire team is amazing. More TVs especially on the patio would be amazing. Happy hour could be extended an extra 30 mins and entice a chef try this.... Still best spot in Tierrasanta Sierra linda vista. Bathrooms so clean!!!

A really beautiful spot tucked away near Serra Mesa! This would be a wonderful date night spot as the ambiance was very classy and cute. Our waitress was really nice and warm, no notes on the service. If you like Mediterranean food this spot is worth checking out.

This place is a hidden gem, and would get much more attention if located downtown or in a more coastal area. The inside is decorated extensively and is wide and expansive. They have brunch and dinner options, and I'm looking to explore both. The brunch options were delicious, and would definitely fill you up. Service was quick and professional. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks for a restaurant off the beaten path.

Tea service
Karen L.

Sat in the patio in the evening on a hot day and was nice and cool. Service was a little all over the place, we had 3 different servers in the beginning - one who said she would lower the blinds but didn't, another one who came by to say we may not have looked at the menu yet because we sat down, but we had been sitting for at least 20min at that point, and another one who said our appetizers would come first but all our entrees ended up coming out first. Food was excellent though so overall still a great experience. Bonus points for floor to ceiling bathrooms with bidets

TJ, thank you for our free shots! You are the best

A true hidden gem in San Diego! Came here last night, group of 6 to celebrate two birthdays. The restaurant was full, we do not have a reservation, lucky they were able to accommodate us. Everything--from the beautiful restaurant and very delicious food to the exceptional service--was memorable. Parking, a lot, a huge plus in SD! Our server, TJ, was amazing. Once he found out we were celebrating birthdays, he went above and beyond with - free donuts /with candles - free tequila shots - gifts wine opener sets - gifts leatherette wine bags for everyone Such thoughtful touches! I also love that BoujieMana donates 3% of sales to a nonprofit. My only regret? I left a 20% tip when they honestly deserved at least 30%! Thank you, TJ and everyone for making our celebration so special! We'll definitely be back!

Pesto potato pizza
Sharon L.

Unassuming yet modern and stylish spot, tucked away within industrial business larks and a giant apartment complex. Our service Hannah was very friendly and helpful with drink recommendations. The cocktails sounded nice but I opted for wine. I wish they had more of a selection available for glasses of wine, but the wines I tried were good. The food was phenomenal. Hummus and pita - the pura was fresh and airy, hummus had a chili oil on it which was a fun twist. Citrus salad was one of my favorites - the grapefruit was sweet and a lovely refreshing balance with the greens and garnish. Stuffed sole was tasty as well, fish had nice flavor and the stuffing was not too overpowering. The pesto and potato pizza was a standout - wasn't entirely sure what it was when we ordered it, but the crust was crispy, bottom nicely charred, and the pesto was so fresh and delicious. For dressert, we tried the donut holes and pistachio gelato. The pistachio gelato was incredible and I might have to come back just for that. Rich roasted flavor and so creamy!

GH Smoked Deviled Eggs

TLDR One of the strangest places in the best way. Delicious modern takes on pan- Mediterranean cuisine served in a beautiful, spacious yet intimate, dining area. But it's in th middle of a residential/industrial area off the Kearny Mesa area. Don't let the location fool you, this is some must have eats, especially the chicken wings Boujie mana looks the part. A modern spacious design with few tables serves modern takes on Mediterranean cuisine. Service is attentive and well versed in the menu. The prices are a premium scale, portions very from small to large (pretty variable depending on the dish). Ambience 7/10. Service 8/10. Price 6/10 Iced tea service Pretty good quality loose leaf tea served in classy glassy's. Tea is served with honey, single package sweeteners, and lemon. You probably get 3-5 glasses out of the pitcher. We ordered ginger peach and spicy ginger and a light floral white peach can both be tasted. $15 is steep though. $10 would get me more excited. 6/10 Deviled eggs Smoked eggs, crispy prosciutto, salsa verde, and pickled jalapeño. This is one step away from being a great dish to me but the idea is very enticing. The salsa verde is european style, more like a chimichuri of aromatics chopped and tossed in oil and citrus. The crispy prosciutto is accented by smoke, bringing notes of bacon. But the dish lacks a punch of brightness to me, the pickled jalapeño isn't quite enough to cut through. I may be critical but this is $10 for 2 eggs ultimately (4 halves). 6/10 Taboulleh This one is classically prepared and unapologetic. Distinct mint, parsley, acid, olive oil, and salt. Delicious. 7/10 Fries Fluffy with a nice snap, but wouldn't say crispy. That's the way I like them. The harissa sauce is a spiced mayo and is a great vehicle. Truffle oil is probably a bad idea, got in the way of the harissa. Pretty good but also very standard 6/10 Falafel Ok this one I need to put a caveat. We were charged $15 but I'm pretty sure we were given the sandwich item not the appetizer. It came in a pita and had fries. It is delicious and a generous portion but normally the sandwich portion is $20 it seems. The falafel are perfectly made: no grease makes into the interior, chic pea is clear, herbaceous, and full of spice. Pickles served on top are bright and sweet. A delicious sandwich. 8/10 Crispy chicken wings Absolutely delicious! To the best of my tasting, there's at least zaatar and harissa that cost the wings wonderfully. These bad boys are crispy and juicy too. They sit on top of a thick and creamy labneh that is tart and balanced as a perfect complement to the heavier wings. I'd come back for these 9.5/10 Roasted octopus. Nicely composed dish with a creamy sauce base (I think sesame based) pistachio rich salsa verde, and charred octopus. It's cooked well, with some bits charred to crisp and others left nice and succulent. But nothing burnt and nothing chewy. Very well made but just a touch salty. 8/10 Boujie prosciutto salad Tasty salad that reminds me of Caesar salad. Nice two shot of savory flavors between salty prosciutto and briny anchovies. Citrus is a nice counterpoint to these heavier flavors. 7/10 Definitely a good place for a nice lunch and I'd be curious to try what they have for dinner, especially spying their dry aging set up. Also curious to see what they do behind the bar. But expect to pay for what you're getting!

Although a couple members of our party were running late, we were still able to be seated. The dining area, although small, was very quaint and charming. Service was good. I had a grapefruit spritz as my drink. The color was a beautiful blush pink. The drink was citrusy and refreshing.  For our starters, we had the calamari and arancini. The calamari was very good. It was lightly crispy and perfectly seasoned. The squid was tender and cooked well. In addition to squid, there were also a number of fried shrimp and peppers scattered throughout the plate. One order of arancini came with 2 balls. The arancini was also very good. The complimentary bread was also delicious and fluffy. I had the ossobuco alla milanese, a slow cooked veal shank served with a Milanese style saffron risotto. The veal was tender and flavorful. The risotto felt authentic and was cooked al dente. A handful of my friends got the risotto al funghi porcini, which was also flavorful and al dente. I also really liked the carbonara and fettuccine gamberi e pancetta. I really enjoyed my meal at Ristorante Illando and would gladly come back.

The real star was our server, Marcelo. Instead of just taking our order, he asked each of us what we like and suggested a dish for everyone. He was spot on. I had the Rigatoni Palermitana, with sausage, pomodoro, capers, olives and a kick of Calabrian chili, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone in our party loved the meal. It felt like eating at an Italian grandmother's table, which fits the name. If you're in Little Italy, go, and ask for Marcelo! PS don't forget the gelato!

After a long day at the beach, we ordered a bottle of wine, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't ridiculously overpriced. Sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine and watching Little Italy come alive was exactly what we needed. Our server was exceptional. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness. Everything in that case looked like it was personally designed to make you regret saying, "No, we're too full for dessert." Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.

Pro tip: don't skimp on the honey! My first piece was a little underwhelming because I didn't use enough, but once I figured out the proper honey-to-bread ratio, I was ALL IN. My favorite part might have been the back patio. The outdoor air and relaxed vibes made it such a lovely spot to catch up with work friends over a leisurely meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu, especially if that pumpkin ravioli is still waiting for me!
