The portion sizes are laughable and is thievery. Its like 8 dollars for the hummus. Its not more than a few tablespoons of hummus. I have never felt so cheated in my life. I asked the table next to me and they said the same. Ordered the meat patties in the bread bowl and got a few tiny size pieces of meat. Also its not a bread bowl. It was a ceramic bowl with a piece of bread stretched out on top which was still raw around the edges.

Mr David,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re sorry to hear that our dishes didn’t feel satisfying to you. While our portion sizes follow our standard recipes and are consistent with what we offer all guests, we understand that expectations can vary, and we never want anyone to leave feeling disappointed.

We’re also concerned to hear about your experience with the meat dish and the bread preparation — that’s something we will review with our team to ensure everything is served properly.

Thank you again for your feedback.

The entire experience here was absolutely outstanding. The staff was wonderful overall, but Gabby, our waitress, was especially attentive and amazing. The food was delicious and included a mix of complex and unique flavors. The ambiance was homey and cozy but also upscale and very much sophisticated as per its Upper West Side location. I came in with 4 friends on a Monday night and the place did not disappoint. The drinks were also well-made and just strong enough. Ultimately, we had an amazing time catching up and I highly recommend this restaurant for your next outing.

Lovely restaurant providing really flavorful Israeli and North African food. One of the few places that serves a moist falafel, the food is very attentive to bursting flavors that make you want to eat one more bite. That's a hallmark of actual, careful, well-made Mediterranean food. I came here for the Moroccan fish and was not disappointed. The fish is very moist with a sauce that is really flavorful. THe tomatoes and the tahini really worked well together to provide a creamy, sweet, acidic sauce. I also recommend heavily the labneh. Get the labneh, it is so creamy and tangy. Love love love. Goes with either bread; I think they're both fantastic. Portion-wise understand that this is Mediterranean. They are big portions. Honestly for a couple I'd split a first, a second, and a third and call it a dinner. Highly highly highly recommend, lovely place, will go back for date nights or as default answers for what to eat for dinner. Walk-ins seem to be supported really well; there were no available reservations but half the tables were available.

We celebrated a birthday last Sunday. I'll start by saying that the service was excellent. Other than that, prices are outrages. They are charging $9 for a tiny plate of humus, in the size of table spoon!!!. In addition, they are charging for every pita which is just wrong. We ended up paying $310 for 5 guests when non of us ordered a main course. Middle Eastern hospitality is known for the large portion dishes and generous hospitality and in Bustan, they totally missed it. Will not got there again.

My mom and I came here for dinner recently and we had a marvelous time. From the moment we walked in, everything was simply calming, pleasant, and delicious. All the dishes are presented beautifully, and the favors are outstanding.The range of things to select on the menu is so much fun, and you can mix and match a variety of small, medium, and large dishes.The food is great no matter what your diet is, and they can cater almost any dish to meet your needs (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.). I can't really name my favorite dish, because everything was so good. The desserts tasted delicious as well. Danny the manager was incredibly lovely, as was our server George. This is a really great neighborhood gem, and I highly recommend that you stop in for some truly flavorful, delicious food and a lovely environment!

Ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Hummus and pita served separately. Order of hummus is maybe three spoonfuls? Ridiculous. Schnitzel was tasty. Moroccan fish (pictured) had maybe three pieces of fish inside, with the dough around the bowl completely raw on the inside (what’s the point?) Skip here. Try Frena in HK.
