Delicious food! Lovely service. We enjoyed all the dishes and the amazing service. We were treated super well and the team accommodated our orders as we were in a rush. We go to Bustan as often as we can and it’s always consistent- extraordinary food, wonderful service and good ambiance. I highly recommend it.

Great tasting small plates and freshly made bread.the lamb kebab is also well seasoned, but the couscous is bland and anemic it needs a pop of color and spice. The decor is fabulous, the wall lighting evokes sunset and the bougainvillea full bloom made it realistic. The noise level increases as the restaurant gets fuller as guest gets intoxicated with alcohol and food. Table service is quick, bus boy and food runner. but the wait staff assigned to our table lacks personality, looks bored and in a rush.
