Bustan

outstanding . authentic. great wine list fairly priced.

Group dinner

Very good service and welcoming feeling. Food was delicious

Been twice recently and love the atmosphere and the food. Unfortunately, the service wasn't up to par the last time - had to ask multiple times for water, waited 15 minutes at the start for anyone to come up to us, didn't get a drink we ordered, etc. We want to love Bustan and hope the service was just an aberration because the food was outstanding.

Delicious food, great cocktails, friendly service. Grilled octopus and the lamb dish were superb.

Food and service were very good, portions were a little small.

Have been to the Bustan a few times. Good service, great food. Pretty much everything on the menu is done with care and taste. The appetizers and Hummus are great all main dishes are well done. I would highly recommend this great place.

Omg! So beautiful restaurant, very good service
And the most important -the food was amazing!!!

One of the highlights of our trip. The bread and hummus was great and the eggplant carpaccio smoky and delicious. We shared a fish and chickpea stew, baked under the same delicious bread as a main. Chocolate mousse cake was a perfect ending.

Excellent food and wine from Israel.

While we really like Bustan and will return, there's been an erosion of value there. The low-end French wine (Cote du Rhone) that we liked is gone. The hummus bowl was our favorite and it disappeared a while ago. The grilled octopus was "improved" which resulted in lower quality and a smaller portion in our opinion. And the dips which used to come with a free serving of bread (which was and is excellent), now do not. Again, still a great place, but declining a little as far as we are concerned in terms of value.

Love this spot for Mediterranean food.

The food was delicious- there was not a dish we did not love. Highly recommend sharing a number of appetizers- so you get to taste more than one. The service was warm, friendly and attentive. Definitely return trip worthy.

Service was a little slow but otherwise the food was great!

Sitting in the garden on a warm night, eating delicious food a terrific way to say goodby to summer. Falafel, hummus and bread were delicious and were the entrees of branzino, shrimp, vegetable couscous and spicy fish . Lovely food and ambiance, and our waiter was great.

Good food and good service

Overall great experience

Delicious food, great service and ambience.

Really great creative food! Outstanding service! Fun for a group of people. Cannot wait to go there again.

The quality of the food was impeccable. I strongly recommend this restaurant if you want experience the Mediterranean flavor

The food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal, especially the lamb kebabs

Awesome experience cuisine is phenomenal!! Chef is so incredibly talented. Ambiance makes you feel like you are in Europe!! Incredible is the only way to describe Bustan!!

The flavors of all of the food are so fabulous -- all of the food is delicious!

Great service and the food is very fresh. Would definitely return for the appetizers and homemade bread. The outdoor seating is a very romantic atmosphere. The portions are a little small for the amount they are charging.

One the best in NYC. Hidden gem. We have been back 2x in the last month.

Excellent Mediterranean specialties
This is a wonderful restaurant with very special attention given to each party. The chicken dish is superb, moist and flavorful. The staff is gracious, professional and dining was not hurried. The music also perfectly sets the mood for the meal. Enjoy

Wayyyyyyyyy overpriced for middle eastern food. Was good but not worth it. Wouldn't go back just for this reason. We all left hungry.

We had the octopus and it was outstanding. After we had the fish stew - wow! Really great food!!

A limited menu, but excellent food and good service!

We loved every dish!

We went to dinner on Friday night,that is my older son and I. The bread was fantastic and they make it in their special taboos oven. Loved the roasted cauliflower appetizer also made in that oven. My son ordered the chicken dish which sat on tahini/ mango ,a delicious combination and again on this bread. However, the dish had too much bread in it and not enough chicken . I enjoyed my branzino. The service was excellent and the decor is very nicely done. A bit overpriced in my opinion but overall an enjoyable experience.

Delicious food and wonderful service. I had the pleasure of dining at Bustan twice this week and can not wait to go back again!

I had the vegetable couscous and I could tell that the veggies were very fresh. It was a delish wholesome meal

One of the best meals I've ever had. So much flavor! Terrific service and a comfortable setting.

Delicious Food! Great service and atmosphere! One of the best restaurants on the Upper West Side!

Food is delicious and creative. One of the best meals we’ve had since moving to NY 8 years ago.

The food was awesome and the server was attentive, relaxed, and knowledgeable about the menu - he made great suggestions when asked. We will definitely be back.

Excellent food!!!! Highly recommend
