| - It's not bad.
I don't go to many Arabic restaurants, since I can get the real deal at home, but Boustan is better than most fast food Arabic restaurants out there. If it still had the old management, I'd give them 4-5 stars. However, the new management isn't up to par. I've seen and heard them be terrible to customers, which would've never happened before. In my experience, they were just dull and didn't have much personality. Before, no matter what mood you walked in with, you were sure to leave with a smile on your face, if not laughing up a storm.
Service is key, come on guys - get with the program!
So long as they're fresh, the potatoes are good. I made sure to ask if I could try a piece and the server chuckled, well - chuckle all you want buddy, not only are my taste buds in check, but I'm Arab too and know my Arabic food. I'm not going to pay for something dry and tasteless that was cooked 2-3 days ago, either.
Chicken shish-taouk or kafta sandwich are the way to go, but this place has lost its charm.
