This place is unreal. Too beautiful for this world…read more First off the food is awesome. I've eaten at a number of shawarma spots in Hamtramck and Boostan is the best hands down. Chicken cream chops sandwich has a strange name but is excellent--much creamier than a regular shawarma sandwich. The Boostan shawarma is amazing; straightforward but excellent. On top of that it is cheap--maybe the cheapest in Hamtramck. How much is the best shawarma wrap in Hamtown? SIX. DOLLARS! They are so generous with their portions as well, including the non-sandwich dishes. The staff are super friendly as well. Just don't come here expecting a nice place to eat. Get your feed and head to a nearby park.

Delicious food and well portioned!!…read more Everything we ordered was absolutely delectable! Juicy meats, well flavored. We got shawarma wraps, a shawarma combination plate and a kebab plate. Every one was a hit. The tabbouli salad was not our favorite but other than that.. chefs kiss! We also got some baklava for dessert which came in two different shapes and both were a nice treat to end the meal.

I stopped in and not only was not greeted but a Middle Eastern man injured the building after I did and he was greeted and got full on conversation plus his order taken. I don't want to make this about anything other than being professional while at work. While I have entered this establishment before and another gentleman and their child or young person greeted me and engaged me in conversation that was not my experiment this time. I got the Pomango Passion.

You are able to make a reservation and definitely recommend that if you want to make sure you get a table during dinner time. Inside has a modern feel with nice cultural decor on the walls. We ordered the kumuhana (grilled chicken) and nyumbani (tender beef) rice dishes which were very filling and delicious. The food came out very quickly. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. We also got their house made passion fruit fizzy drink which was so delicious. We loved our experience and wish we could come back on a Tuesday or Wednesday when they offer different dishes.

I'm really loving all the new cafés popping up around Hamtramck, and Awafi is definitely one worth…read morechecking out. My mom and I stopped in on a chilly afternoon, looking to warm up with something cozy. The café itself is small but inviting, with a few booths and tables for dining in. The woman behind the counter was such a sweetheart. She was genuinely friendly and welcoming. They were out of my mom's favorite dessert (the Yemeni honeycomb), but we went for two cups of mint tea instead ($2.99 each, regular size). Even the regular cups were huge, and I'm pretty sure one is enough to share between two people. The tea came with real mint leaves, which gave it that fresh, earthy flavor that hits perfectly with a touch of sugar. Just a tip: remove the leaves after a few minutes so the tea doesn't turn bitter.

I came to this little coffee and pastry shop in Hamtramck because they were hosting a cake…read morecompetition, and I'm so glad I did. This was their first time hosting the competition, and it was also my first time ever entering one. I decided to give it a try, and I had such a great time! We got to sample all different types of cakes, chat with the other contestants, and just enjoy the experience. I also grabbed a pastry and a smoothie while I was there, and both were really good! Overall, I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their pastries, treats, and drinks. Who knows, maybe I'll even enter another cake competition.

The only good thing about this place is that they are open late. I have gone twice in recent times…read morebeing the last two months and the past two times I've gone my order has either been wrong taking an extra long time or made at a lower quality. I went today and the bowl that I ordered had coconut on it. I specifically requested for there not to be coconut on it. I am not allergic, but I hate the taste and it makes me sick, but my food took so long that I am just gonna have to go through it because I do not have time to wait for it to be remade Do not be fooled by the signage either I purchased a açai bowl, which is advertised at 10, and I purchased a smoothie advertised at $9. In theory this should total $19 before tax and with six cents on every dollar should add an additional $1.14 totaling to $20.14 I was charged $22.06. In short, only go here if you are desperate or want something really late like I did as I recently just got off of work and needed to eat something but do so at your own risk as you are likely to be overcharged and your food will come out low quality. Not to mention, I watched people come in and order after I did and still receive their item before I did
