" Just had lunch at Bustan and I must say, the experience was delightful. Our server was very charismatic and guided us through the menu expertly. We started with hummus and pita, followed by the lamb kebab. Each bite was packed with flavor, truly representing the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality is well worth it. Perfect spot for a casual gathering or a date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bustan last week and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of food and the service. We enjoyed the lamb kebab and falafel, which inspired a sense of nostalgia from my travels in the Middle East. The spices were vibrant yet balanced. However, I did find the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected for the price point. The atmosphere was lovely—perfectly lit and not too noisy. Overall, it was a great experience and I plan to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I will be recommending Bustan to everyone I know! The menu is full of authentic flavors that really highlight the best of Mediterranean cooking. We tried a few different dishes but I would say the falafel was the star of the show, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Our server was friendly, and though the restaurant was busy, we were still well taken care of. I left feeling satisfied and excited for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Bustan was an incredible experience! The moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm ambiance and friendly vibe. I ordered the spicy feta and taboon bread, and it was just as good as I had heard. The mix of flavors was delightful. The service was fantastic, making recommendations without being pushy at all. Every dish we tried was fresh and bursting with flavor. I cannot recommend the Moroccan fish enough! I will surely be back for a second visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an amazing dining experience! Bustan offers authentic Israeli dishes that took me right back to my travels. The taboon bread is a must-try; it’s warm, soft, and pairs perfectly with the house-made dips. The service was exceptional, with our server being very knowledgeable about the menu and offering great suggestions. Although the portions are on the smaller side, they encourage sharing, which added to the festive dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning for another round of that incredible falafel!

" I visited Bustan last night and had an amazing dinner! The food was a delight, especially the hummus, which was incredibly smooth, paired with warm pita, my new favorite! The ambiance is inviting, feeling cozy without being cramped. I did think the portion sizes were a bit small for sharing, but the quality definitely made up for it. The service was impeccable, with our server being attentive without hovering. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely time at Bustan! The food was fresh and delicious; every dish brought a smile to my face. The ambiance felt welcoming, perfect for a family or friends’ dinner. We particularly enjoyed the lamb and the tabbouleh which had the right amount of seasoning. The only minor complaint I have is that the dessert selection could be better; we found it a bit lacking. Still, I can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
