Boutros

We went for brunch and I was surprised by the extensive Lebanese wine selection, moreover we enjoyed the food beyond expectations. Ordered mushroom hummus, and vegetables crudites, half roasted chicken and the desserts were delicious. I had to come back to try many more dishes that popped up to me in the menu. I had a glass of skin contact wine aka orange wine, my husband had a glass of sparkling viognier and we enjoyed much.

The ambiance was lovely. I really loved the window booths. The bar is really big & spacious. The food was delicious, the pita was perfect in texture and the hummus was creamy. The Saltan of Jalisco beverage was so amazing I had to have two. I wanted to give this place 5 stars but the service was awful. If our server checked in on us more and was a little more personable, it would be so much better. We had to call them multiple times. It was rough.

Really lovely modern spot for fusion West meets East Asian food. Impromptu visit on a Saturday evening with a party of 3. We had a reservation and our table was ready on time. The tables around us stayed full as we dined, so I recommend booking a table on a weekend. In order of what I enjoyed the most, we had the miso baba ganoush with super fresh and fluffy pita, the fig toast, the octopus and the wagyu kebabs, and the "fried egg rice" with bulgur. All three of us were hooked on the Garlic Gibson, a great twist on a dirty martini. The mezcal cocktail was a show and pretty tasty, but second to the garlic drink. I wish that the lighting was slightly brighter so we could enjoy the visuals of the food better, but I also appreciate the moody vibe. Service was great and knowledgeable. Would definitely return!

Cool Lebanese restaurant on Atlantic Ave. it’s got a great vibe and whether you are sitting at the bar or eating you should have lots of fun. The menu is Mediterranean diverse with hummus, tabouleh, baba ganoush. It’s better to go with a larger group since you really want to order as many dishes as possible and share them all. They also have a large wine etc selection.

We live in the neighborhood and have only ever had amazing meals here. We recommend it to everyone we come across. The pork shank, chicken, labneh, potatoes, and short rib hummus are our favorites, but the whole menu is worth a go! Truly a no skips menu. Chef Allen is a true expert in his craft and a kind soul on top of it, Fiona and Venus took good care of us on our last visit, and the chef’s counter seating gives a nice intimate look at the back of house. Truly cannot recommend the place more.

Everything from the food, atmosphere the service was top notch! The appetizer I had hummus with meat, a traditional middle eastern delicacy, it was delicious! Homemade fresh pita that came on its own plate was soft and hot. For an entree I had the octopus dish. It was filling and full of flavor complimented with ingredients that tied it all together. The aesthetics were pleasant and the staff were great, different faces checking in. I had a sweet with my coffee earlier so I passed on the dessert. Definitely a must try place for authentic food with a chef’s touch.

Very nice and cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant. Service was also super cool and nice. Mushroom hummus was absolutely hit! Something new for us and very interesting mix of flavors. Totally recommend. Grilled Octopus - delicious. Must try too. Duck breast - was good, but too sweet for me. It’s King Salmon - nothing special and the grape leaves set off the taste for me. But still, you need to try it. Cocktails are also excellent. You need to try Gentian Negroni. For sure we will come back and try other things. Overall, very good places to a date or sit with a friends. But a little bit pricey. Price per person $40-50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Mushroom Hummus and Octopus

A low key spot with an interesting twist on Mediterranean food which unexpectedly tastes amazing. They seem to use influences from all different cuisines and nailed the recipe for the perfect blend. All the sauces in the dishes really highlights the flavors of each dish We ordered the miso baba ghanoush, red beet humus, falafel, half roasted chicken, Brussels sprouts, and bulgar fried rice. I would recommend this all and A perfect amount for 4 people. This place is a top place for me in Brooklyn now. If you’re in the area definitely worthy of peeping

It's really pretty inside and the staff is friendly. We had a great time here from start to finish. Everything we ordered was delicious! The drinks were great also. Drinks: The gift - Fig Vodka, Amaro Nonino, Pomegranate, Sparkling Water, Lime Cloud 9 ALB Vodka, Espresso, Coffee Liqueur, Sesame, Tahini Whip 16  Berry Spritz House-made Berry Shrub, Lemon, Rosemary, Sparkling Water Mint Rose Limoncello- I loved how it was presented. They gave you a tray with ice, limoncello, mint and water. You had to mix it according to your liking. That was pretty cool! Appetizers Miso Baba Ganoush Shichimi Togarashi, Furikake, Sesame Oil Short Rib Shawarma Hummus Pickled Onion & Fresno Chili, Parsley This one was my favorite! Their pita bread is delicious! They serve it fresh and hot. Entrees- We ordered a little bit of everything to sample. Falafel Gougéres Garlic Confit Tahini, Fried Chickpeas, Parsley American Wagyu Kebab Fennel Dukkah, Sweet Tahini, Parsley I loved this! Octopus Kebab Red Pepper, Black Olive, Potato Puree My other favorite choice! Monkfish Kebab Harissa, Tahini, Borage Cress It was good but I am not a fan of spicy. So for me, it was too spicy. If you like spice, then definitely get it! Each order of kebabs came with only 1 skewer. We each shared pieces. Surprisingly, we were actually full. Dessert Mom's Knafeh Ashta, Kataifi, Pistachio Ice Cream Wow, this dessert was absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed our experience here. It's also in a great location because there some nice spots to go to for after dinner drinks.

Have gone to Boutros twice for brunch now and once for dinner. Dinner was a year + ago so I don't remember much except that I liked it. My husband thought it was pretty expensive for the portion size though, so we haven't been back. Brunch is great with the exception of the shakshouka, which sucks =\ I've gotten the croissant which has to be like 1K calories but it's soo so good. I've also gotten the French toast and the short rib shawarma. Both great! Maybe we also did a salad?! Which I remember being nice. Brunch is also much more reasonably priced (comparable with other brunch spots in the area) so this is becoming a regular spot for us. Also RE the shakshouka, I love shakshouka and generally it's my go to bc it's more balanced, but the sauce in this one just tasted like straight canned tomato. Really everything else we've had is good though so I think they just don't do a good shakshouka.

Came here to celebrate a birthday and it was such a beautiful, cozy spot with a somewhat open kitchen. Service was good, server made some great recommendations and explained some menu items. We enjoyed the spreads and dips the most, the Labneh, Mushroom Hummus, and Short Rib Hummus were all good. The pita was soft and fluffy. The spreads were plenty for the table to share. Labneh - very well balanced, just the right amount of tangy, rich but not too thick, topped with truffle honey, crushed hazelnuts and rosemary. sweet and savory, good on it's own or with pita Short Rib Hummus - some of the shredded pieces were dry but the meat had a lot of good flavor, with some pickled onion over plain hummus. The Caesar salad was not well balanced. The lettuce was overly dressed and had too much mustard. The dish ended up being inedible for the table. Skip the salad Grilled Octopus Kebab - the flavor was okay, quality was good and octopus was tender. However, the dish was not hot enough, the red pepper and octopus was cold and the potato puree was lukewarm. I was craving octopus and potato and this did not satisfy my craving Roast Pork Shawarma - this entree was tender and flavorful, large piece of pork shank braised and served with cabbage, radish, and pickled onion, and served with mini pita, garlic tahini and zhoug sauce Overall, the food was good and I would probably come back to try their other menu items. Drinks were good too, my favorite was their Mezcal cocktail. I think it was called Thistle & Smoke or something similar

Stopped in here to have dinner before we went to see a show at MSG in the city. Very nice place. Lovely decor. Good service good menu. We started off with the short rib hummus that was very different than anything we've had and was absolutely delicious. The homemade pitas are worth going just for that. We had the Wagyu beef skewers, and the octopus skewers both of which were delicious my husband, absolutely loved his spicy margarita that had a little kick to it. Slightly on the pricey side of the quality of food well worth it, and I look forward to going back and trying some more things.

Such a good middle eastern spot! Great spot to catch up with a friend or go on a date. I got the hummus, sweet potato, fig toast, duck breast and octopus skewer. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was the short rib hummus. I the short rib was pulled perfectly and paired well with the creamy hummus. The octopus was also very tender

This place is definitely added to my list of good brunch spots in Brooklyn. They have unique food combinations that work out well. Their fig and olive toast was delicious and so was their butternut squash kibbeh (better than the one at ilili and that's my favorite in the city!) Their cauliflower shawarma was underwhelming so I'd skip that. As for their challah French toast, it was definitely the star of the show and a must order for folks with a sweet tooth! So happy seeing more Middle Eastern inspired spots in the neighborhood!!

The best French toast you will ever have. Staff is really intimate and literally will remember you and your order. Great service but who knew how much I needed French toast with pistachio

Had a spectacular evening here on a Thursday night. I was in absolute awe upon entering this establishment. The decor inside was gorgeous! We started with the short rib shawarma hummus, brussel sprouts, grilled octopus kebab, and American wagyu kebab. The short rib shawarma hummus was superb! They gave a generous amount of tender, flavorful short rib alongside a creamy hummus. I always have hummus stocked in my fridge, but I forget how much better fresh hummus was. However, the star of the show for me was the pita! It was warm, soft, and chewy. I have to thank my fellow yelpers for recommending this dish as a must-try. The rest of the appetizers were good, but nothing too memorable. The American wagyu was not as tender as I thought it would be. I would skip this one. As for the entree, we decided to share the moulard duck breast. There were so many different flavors from this dish that somehow just paired so well together. The tartness of the cherries, nuttiness from the walnuts, meaty flavor of the duck, and the smokiness from the gai lan were truly remarkable. The service was top-notch from beginning to end. I love finding hidden gems in Brooklyn and this is definitely one of them.

best french toast in brooklyn. so glad i came here for brunch - the music, vibes, and menu selection were impeccable. was also a lovely surprise to learn the soujak that you can add to the shakshouka is halal! (none of the other meat is tho) will def come back to try other items on the menu, but the french toast is for sure a must and the shakshouka was solid.

I came here for brunch with a group of 6, and it was delightful in every way. The great: - super fun menu mixing middle eastern fare with brunch items - The ambiance had a historical feel yet it felt appropriate - near the subway, always a plus - helpful staff Why this place isn't getting 5 stars - The menus is fun, yet confusing. It's like we needed to research to understand how to order. This place is great for: - Group gatherings - 2nd dates - Cousin visiting - a desire for a more exotic brunch Terrible for: - Breakups - smaller venue and noise travels - Easy ordering - People who like the basics

Having a solo lunch here and it's absolutely delicious. The falafel is slightly creamy inside which I'm not used to but absolutely appreciate, and the mushroom hummus- chef's kiss! Service has been attentive, helpful, and friendly. And all the food tastes majorly fresh. Vibe is very cool and chic and dark, perfect for a date night I'm thinking. I'm absolutely coming back for a dinner with more than just myself!

Easily one of my favorite spots for Middle Eastern eats in the city -- every single thing we had here was so delicious. The ambiance was really lovely and the servers are great at recommending dishes. This restaurant is perfect to share dishes family-style. The Labneh here is so special, truly one of my favorite I've eaten. I cannot recommend it enough, am definitely coming back soon.

I'd say four stars for the food and three stars for the prices. This spot is surrounded by some incredible middle eastern at low prices and it did not measure up. Their fluffy homemade pita and creamy falafel are delicious but was tempted to go to Sahadi's afterward and get their incredible baba ganoush and hummus after trying Boutros' unique but salty miso baba ganoush and mediocre hummus (but the short rib was incredible)! Fried rice was forgettable. For the price, that's just not okay, so wouldn't come back or recommend but glad to try it.

Wow, the cocktails are amazing. I ordered the Last Exit, and then had a second. It's one of the best drinks I've had in a long while. We shared the octopus skewers, the sea bass, the falafel, and Brussels sprouts. Falafel was served hot and it was creamy on the inside. Pita was fluffy and warm. Everything was delicious and the interior of the restaurant was cozy and modern. This is a nice find in Cobble Hill.

Amazing drinks. I got the spicy thyme and was one of the better spicy margaritas I have had in a while. My wife got the ginger gimlet and LOVED it. Vibe is super cute with Edison bulbs all over. Really cute date place. I would love to sit at the kitchen bar next time. As far as food we only had a couple of bites but the short rib hummus and pita are mic drop worthy.

We had an excellent dinner here Sunday evening with our son and his fiancee. Began with cocktails for three of us and a glass of red wine for Nancy -- Joe and Rosie both enjoyed their Garlic Gibson (not for me however nice the strong garlic flavor!) while I savored the Spicy Thyme, a tequila with cayenne and thyme syrup). Nancy insisted that the spice stay on the side of the Short Rib Shawarma Hummus; it would have been better mixed in. The butternut squash kibbeh was OK; the falafel gougeres were a hit with all. I rather liked beets and berries, but too much beets (yellow) compared to the not-enough berries. The main dishes were the best of the night: Black Sea Bass and Moulard Duck Breast. For dessert we tried the "lebanese doughnuts" small bits of fried dough in a nice orange sauce -- more volume than we needed at the end of a nice evening.

The short rib hummus is to die for, the falafel is also a must order, I've never had anything like it before! We ordered the duck as an entree to share and were surprised as to how large the portion was, enough for three hungry girls to share and then some. Can't wait to come back!

It started off strong with the Short rib shawarma hummus and fresh pita. But we weren't fans of the entrees we ordered. For $30 the roasted half chicken was not worth it. The chicken was hard and dry in some parts, and we didn't think the sauce or fries paired all that well as a cohesive dish. The French toast was massive but I think the texture of the whole thing was just too soft, leaning soggy. However this is a really nice ambiance and I would 100% come back to try other things.

I was grocery shopping on Atlantic one evening last week and walked by this place -- the glow of the lights inside caught my eye. It looked so warm and inviting that I was instantly curious about it and quickly checked Yelp to see what type of cuisine they offered (Middle Eastern) and their overall rating (4.5). My stepdad is from a big Lebanese family, so I am always up for trying new riffs on the classics I grew up with. Fast forward to today, a rainy Sunday, when the hub and I were both overly hungry but couldn't quite agree on what we wanted to eat. He recalled that I'd mentioned wanting to try Boutros, so we went with it. When we arrived, the host/server informed us that the kitchen would be closing in 30mn, but that they would be open for another 45mn or so. He was friendly and polite about it and we assured him that we are quick eaters (it's true -- we aren't ones to linger; we're in and out). At least two more parties came in after us, so we felt better knowing that we weren't the only ones sneaking in under the wire. In terms of food, we ordered a few things to share. Two things I knew straight away that I wanted to try were the hummus and the falafel. I was also curious about the butternut squash kibbeh, but the hub doesn't do squash. Another option we considered was the Bulgur Fried Rice. In the end, we went with the Short rib Shawarma Sandwich as the hub loves a good sammie and this one sounded promising. Also, we were both in the mood for french fries and I recalled one of the Yelp reviewers mentioning that they were good. Hummus with short rib -- When I ordered this, our server commented that it's the best thing on the menu, so my expectations were high. The meat was nice and tender, but just a bit salty. The hummus was fine, but I've had better (one of my faves is from Damascus, a little shop a few doors down the street). The fresh pita bread that accompanied this dish was delightfully warm and fluffy. Falafel Gougeres -- I love falafel, so was super excited for this. Sadly, this dish was a complete disappointment. I don't know about everyone else, but my expectation is that falafel will have a nice crispy exterior. While these looked like they would, they absolutely did not; the texture entirely was soft and the interior flavor was meh. The hub wondered if perhaps they'd not cooked them long enough, but I was too embarrassed to ask, particularly as the exterior appearance looked right. The hub liked the fried chick peas that were included with the dish. Short rib Shawarma Sandwich -- Perhaps a bit redundant since we were already ordering a dish with this meat, but I'm glad we went for it as it was the star of our meal, the one thing that would bring us back. Wrapped in a soft, warm pita, the sandwich fillings melded together nicely -- tangy with a touch of heat. While the same meat was a tad salty in the hummus app, it was perfect in this application -- likely as it was balanced out by all the other flavors -- and it was pleasingly tender and juicy. While the french fries could have been a bit crispier, they were still enjoyable. If we had ordered only the hummus and falafel, my rating would be three stars. The crave-worthy sandwich, along with the warm atmosphere and friendly service, brings my rating to four stars. The overall atmosphere is nice, as is the service, so thumbs up there.

What a wonderful place for a rainy day brunch. It's not super crowded and busy. Service is the top with caring waitresses and amazing bartenders. Thank you Ambiance is top notch. It's comfortable and not too over the top. Their focus is on the food and that part isn't lacking. I bet this place feels like a great date spot at night. Food is great. I had the short rib hummus with pita bread. And pita bread is the main focus. It's so fluffy and delicious from the hot oven that I can imagine any better. We asked for more breads. French toast is can use a little more sauce but it's not too sweet. I am not a fan of the cloud 9 drink as it's sweet and no spicy at all. Service is wonderful and we got water all the time. The table is ready as rsvp. Great place for a brunch with friends and have conversations. Not loud but we might make the place a little

I came here with a friend for weekday dinner. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. I love Mediterranean food so I was excited to try this place. We got the labneh dip, heirloom tomato and burrata, grilled octopus skewers, and duck breast. Price wise, it's a little on the pricey side but not too bad for NYC. The food was all pretty good, but the standout item was definitely the labneh dip with pita. It comes with truffle honey drizzled on top, hazel nuts and rosemary. The dip was our favorite thing and my friend even got one to go. Not 100% sure I'd come back, but if I do, I will 100% get the labneh dip again.

Wanted to love this so bad but it was such a disappointment. Short rib hummus was good but not anything special. We ordered the tabbouleh as well as the pork shank. Tabbouleh was a joke, big bowl of sliced kale and 5 tomatoes with lemon and oil- didn't even come close to tasting like the real deal. Whole Foods has better!! The pork shank was even more disappointing, my mom could've cooked it better. The taste profile, salt. That's it. Served with veggies and 3 sauces. And for the price point I'm in shock truly. Server was nice and accommodating, but would not recommend to anyone and will definitely not be returning. No depth in flavor, overpriced, overhyped- you can definitely get better authentic Mediterranean down the street don't wast you're time here :)

The place was really nice. Great ambiance, quiet brunch location at least on the day we went. Lots of great Mediterranean options and the most amazing challah French toast. Had a couple of drinks as well and they were lovely. French toast is a must. Brunch menu is great. Service was great as it wasn't very busy that day. Will be back

Amazing and inventive dishes, beautiful ambience and great service. Felt old and new all at the same time.

Went for a drink and a snack and I would go back, food is modern middle-Eastern cuisine. Tried the CLOUD9 and MIELE-O YELLOW cocktails. As appetizers the MISO BABA GANOUSH is amazing and the FALAFEL GOUGERES is good too. A bit pricey if I had to point out something.

Food is a love letter. It allows someone access to our culture and it's a window into our lives and our influences. I had the honor of sitting down with amazing company, enjoying amazing food. @boutrosbk is a love letter to the Middle East. @chef_allen_dabagh was gracious enough to host us and was one of thee best accompaniments to the meal. I tried so many amazing dishes. The vibrant colors and flavors were matched by the impeccable service and ambiance. The must haves! 1. The Labneh was perfection and the fresh warm pita was to die for. 2. Short Rib Shawarma Hummus will change the way you see the store bought stuff! 3. The bulgar fried rice was nutty and changed my lifeee. 4. The roasted half chicken was seasoned to the nine, juicier than my butt after a workout, and had this delicious herb mound. 5. The Beef Bavette melted in my mouth and the chard asparagus was delightful. 6. The scallops with the watermelon radishes were delicate and delectable. We ended the meal with sweets and washed it down with a few bevies! I want to thank @domnthecity for inviting me out for this amazing meal and experience. I feel more motivation than ever to pursue my foodie dreams and passions! Y'all better make a reservation before I do! And a little birdie said they'll be serving oysters soon but y'all ain't hear it from me! - The Brooklyn Aunty SaltandSavor on Insta!

Delicious and flavorful middle eastern staples done with small unique twists. Loved the mushroom hummus and the squash. The kibbeh had a bit of a soft texture, the shakshuka was more sauce- and less egg-based, and the shawarma was heavy on the beets. Overall a good visit, have recommended it to others and would return after seeing the menu turn over in time with new items to try.

I would leave a ZERO star if I could. Very disappointed because all the dishes were no taste or taste bad... kale salad - no taste, pork shank - only for presentation, tasted salty and dry. Worst experience ever, don't even give a try. Not worth it.

It was our second visit and they didn't disappoint! Our last visit was for dinner and this time we went for lunch to try their challah French toast. First of all, the portion was HUGE - two thick slabs of bread. They were toasted well on the outside and perfectly moist on the inside. The pistachio butter was very flavorful and unique. The beef shawarma sandwich my partner ordered was also delicious. The server was friendly and attentive just like the last time. Highly recommend this place!

Omg the best meal I had in a long time!! Everything was ridiculously delicious. My friend and I split 2 small plate and 1 large plate and it was plenty for the two of us. Highly recommend everything we got!! I could have eaten the entire Short Rib Shawarma Hummus myself, it was so good! The Pork Shank Al Pastor was the best meat I've had at a restaurant in long time and it went so well with the fried rice. I also had their freshly pressed ginger ale and it was great! Can't wait to go back!

Honestly, underwhelmed by the food there - it was just broadly pretty bland and under spiced, and the cauliflower wrap was different temperatures for each ingredient. Service is good though!

I went to this place with two others a while ago. Overall, this is definitely one of those places I would give a 4.5 if I could. It's definitely a bit pricey but the food quality was good and the food here is a bit of a change from the other cheaper much more traditional Middle Eastern places nearby being more fusion oriented. For my drink I went with the Bitter Tree which consisted of Rittenhouse Rye, Averna, Montenegro, Maple, and Orange Blossom and it was $15. The cocktail was tasty though I couldn't exactly take the maple or orange blossom much (which to be honest is fine as I don't like maple too much.) It definitely was rye focused (almost a bit too much) but there was definitely some flavor from the various Amaros. Tasty cocktail though maybe a regular bourbon or a rye with less of a bite would be better and make it more complimentary to the other liquors? In terms of the food, we went with two mezze/sharing appetizers as well as a main course each. I don't remember what the other people had though I assume from what I know about their preferences, one person had the pork chop (and yes it is odd to see pork in a Middle Eastern place) and the other person probably had the fish which in this case would be black bass. Our appetizer choices were: Short Rib Shawarma Hummus Pickled Onions & Chili ($19) This was very tasty though I wouldn't exactly say the short rib reminded me much of shawarma. The hummus was fine though there's a few places nearby that make better. The pickled onions as well as the chili added nice refreshing touches. It was expensive but well balanced and I would recommend it. Butternut Squash Kibbeh Bulgur, Pepitas, Mint ($15) This was the cheaper of the two dishes and it was also good and probably a bit better in terms of fusion. The kibbeh were different and they were very tasty and the other components added some more flavors and textures. Long Island Duck Breast Broccoli Rabe, Sour Cherry Fesenjun ($35) I ordered this as my main dish as I'm a big fan of fesenjan/fesenjoon (or fesenjun here) a Persian stew consisting of sour cherries, walnuts, and usually chicken. This was a fun take on the usual duck and cherry thanks to the extra crunch from the walnuts. The duck was cooked properly and there was enough of it for the price as well. Unfortunately, the broccoli rabe's bitterness/texture did not really compliment the dish but it's hard for me to think of anything that might pair better so take that as you want. Overall it was very tasty. Overall the food here was tasty but a bit pricey for the quality. The prices here are more equivalent to a fancier restaurant than this but there was definitely some highlights during the meal. If the dishes were perhaps a few dollars cheaper each (outside of the reasonably priced cocktail,) I would probably leave us with a 4.5 and round up but as it sits, it's a 4.3.

Hands down one of the best eating experiences I've had in a while . It was pretty empty when we came and that was nice . The decor is beautiful and simple . I had the homemade ginger ale and we had the Miso Baba Ganoush and the mushroom hummus . I really thought both was sooooo beautifully flavored and the pita bread ,the pita bread was so warm it was so gooood omg lol. My favorite was the mushroom hummus . It had a slight sweetness to it . I enjoyed both so very much . We also had the Fluke Crud which was so interesting and the falafel was the smoothest ever and perfect crunchy exterior . Our server was super attentive and kind and I just really loved this place . And I would recommend getting like 4 to 5 things on the menu and sharing it . Delicious delicious delicious . I will for sure be back ! And the price range is very decent for the high quality food you're getting . Keep doing your thanggggg

The food was delicious with very good flavor. The restaurant was very cute and would be great for dates. The patio was also nice. The service was very attentive and helpful.

It's a nice restaurant in Brooklyn area , they have outdoor seating space , their indoor isn't too big but nicely designed and organized, kinda of crowded so reservation is needed, Menu seems limited but has enough for everyone's liking A Lebanese restaurant with unique modern food combination from multiple traditions and great taste starting from the freshly baked pita bread to the shawarma to the shakshuka to the labne .... Finishing with homemade unbelievably delicious Kanafe (Best of the Best) Recommended

Such a wonderful lunch. So many great flavors. Can't wait to return for dinner. Must try the Miso baba ganoush with made to order pita! Everything we had was so delicious.

We came to Boutros on a Monday night for a nice dinner. I had just received some good news and I was feeling a bit adventurous. The interior is beautiful and they have indoor and outdoor dining options. We chose the indoor option where we were seated next to the window. We ordered the Short Ribs Hummus, Roasted Sunchoke, and Pork Shank Tacos. It seems like their menu does change a bit but I had seen some pictures of the massive pork shank so I had to get that. I was pleasantly pleased with the portions we got for the meat and the pork was nicely seasoned. For the roasted sunchoke, I wasn't sure what I was expecting because I've never had sunchokes before. I would describe it close to a potato starchy taste and liked how the dish came with different textures (crispy fried sunchoke pieces) and more soft baked ones. I also liked the contrast in the sauces with the soft cheese. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at Boutros. It has a nice spin to middle eastern food that I have not experienced before. The price tag is a bit steep so I would recommend coming here on those nicer date nights rather than a casual place to come to.

Service: The pair of us were seated quickly on a Saturday brunch time. Once seated, the service was relatively slow and we spent a while before putting in our order, waiting for our order, and especially waiting for the check. We had to pop inside to get our check processed so we could leave. Food: We ordered the labneh, avocado toast, and arayas. The labneh was standard. The arayas had a good peppery kick but otherwise a bit bland. My dining partner enjoyed the avocado toast. Ambience: It was very busy with a youthful crowd. There was a growing line after we had seated. Value: It seemed fair pricing for the quality and the area, but an otherwise average experience. I would recommend picking another option for brunch if you have the ability, but it was nice to be able to walk in without a reservation.

Came here for a dinner with friend because they have an outdoor seating area. I dont really have much to say about the dish since it is just really average. I ordered the shishito peppers with crispy noodles and the white crispy thing on top of the pepper definitely was not what I expected as noodles. Anyways, the peppers are pretty spicy and the sauce is creamy and sweet so it kind of neutralized the spicy taste. However, i will put a big question mark if it is worth $15 just for a plate of peppers The other thing is that there was only one waitress lady and there are a lot of customers so we also waited long to make the payment or even to get her attention but overall still tolerable. I am not sure if I will want to come back again.

FOUR STARS for the food. I frequently eat there. But why do they think they can have the lights on outside on a sunny day? We live in a Climate Emergency. Act like it. I told 2 waiters to please turn the lights off. It seems they did not know how to do it. Figure it out, please.

Food: got the short rib schwarma sandwich and the butternut squash kibbeh. Short rib schwarma: 3/5, big portion but the sour taste of the beets became overwhelming near the end. Short rib a bit dry. Squash kibbeh/ 4/5, love the squash purée! Price: around 15-20 per dish/mezze/app, steep but typical of the area Service: 5/5, our server was so friendly and on top of it! Overall: not someplace I'd come back every week but solid atmosphere/food!

The ambiance was really nice and great service! However, I ordered the short rib shawarma, but received the roasted cauliflower version instead. It was incredibly seasoned to the extent that it may have been too salty. The French toast was heavenly and the service was fantastic!

Everything from the food, atmosphere the service was top notch! The appetizer I had hummus with meat, a traditional middle eastern delicacy, it was delicious! Homemade fresh pita that came on its own plate was soft and hot. For an entree I had the octopus dish. It was filling and full of flavor complimented with ingredients that tied it all together. The aesthetics were pleasant and the staff were great, different faces checking in. I had a sweet with my coffee earlier so I passed on the dessert. Definitely a must try place for authentic food with a chef's touch.

I came here for dinner with my fiancé on a Wednesday evening around 7. When we arrived 3-4 of the tables were full and we were seated indoors. Service was good. We were seated promptly, given menus, explained dishes, etc. We ordered a couple of dishes. To start we had the miso babaganoush and for mains we had the duck breast, braised lamb and side of fried rice. Everything was brought out hot and delicious. The flavors were on point and I was really impressed. Portions were generous and we even had some to go. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. Note: they periodically change the menu so if you're looking for something particular you might want to check online first to see if they're serving it.

Impeccably casual cool chic space that offers an even more concise & curated menu. We opted for the ribs on hummus, Sunchokes, bulgar fried rice and the pork shank tacos. Drinks were cocktails and good Nebbiolo wine. The bread coupled with hummus was delicious. So was the fried chorizo rice I couldn't stop eating. Sunchokes were amazingly tender and creamy. The pork tacos incredibly was the least impressive dish but still yummy and heavy with smoked paprika, cumin and deep earthy spices.

It's been a while since we sat down and ate in a middle Eastern cuisine inspired restaurant . Thanks to outdoor dining we had been getting a preview of their dishes whenever we walk past on the sidewalk NYC law now allows outdoor and 50% indoor dining, we still made a reservation since we prefer dining indoor. The ambiance is cozy; I loved the style of mosaic floor tilework. Since it was our first time here, we asked for the help of our server, she recommended Miso baba ganoush for which she mentioned they are famous. It came with shichimi togarashi and furikake with freshly made house-baked pita. It was smooth, smoky, and complemented perfectly well with the warm pita. We then have the bulgur fried rice soujuk for our mezze or appetizer it came with egg, scallion, garlic ginger, and sweet soy. It was also delicious but we decided to take easy on it so we can eat together with our entree to share half roasted chicken served with smashed fingerlings and kisbarah ou toum (herbs and spices) the whole experience is simply epicurean. The dinner here is elevated, we enjoyed the cuisine and the customer service. It is not our last time here! I

Amazing. I came here 6/23 to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and it was well worth it. We had eaten a bit before so we just jumped straight to the entree. I ordered the chicken and my boyfriend ordered the lamb shoulder. The flavors were so rich and fresh. I would absolutely recommend. The ambiance is dim lit but casual. You can dress up if you'd like or be completely casual.

Yummy dinner at @boutrosbk on a chill evening! Every dish of this middle eastern inspired cuisine restaurant tasted really great, but to be very honest there wasn't one that particularly stood out to me. The portion isn't big so you'll have to order a few dishes for a meal for the group. Overall not necessarily breathtaking but a pleasant experience.

EXCELLENT. Came here for my birthday and every single dish that we tried was delicious. I grew up in a Syrian household, and this restaurant honestly matches the very flavors I grew up with. We had the labneh and the mushroom hummus with pita (both so satisfying.) The falafel was smooth as butter, the braised leek salad refreshing, the Brussels sprouts rich and crispy, and the fried bulgar warm and hearty. We had other dishes, but those are the ones that stood out. We had the awameh for dessert. It reminded me exactly of my aunt's recipe growing up. We left so satiated we were barely able to walk.
