THE GOOD
----------------
+ Solid Mediterranean Chipotle-style fast food with lots of options to choose from and good flavors.
+ Food had good flavors and reminded me of other restaurants of this kind, like Naya.
++++ Shawarma Chicken and Beef Kafta were fresh and good, but the Chicken was definitely more flavorful and more tender.
++++ For a base, the Vermicelli Rice was verrrrry good and definitely my preference over the Quinoa, which I'm typically a fan of, but didn't like it as much over here. The Quinoa had a flavor to it that we didn't like.
++++ Portions for the custom bowls were MASSSSSSIVE. They basically gave 2 large scoops of the bases and piled on everything else on top.
++++ They gave out samples of their falafel and pita (which were both superrrrr delicious!)
+ Process of creating your own bowl is very simple - add a base (max 2 bases), dips (max 2 dips), ingredients (max 6 veggies) and sauces (max 1 sauce).
+ Prices are on par with most vendors/restaurants serving the same style of food ($10-$15).
+ Employees were very friendly.
RANDOM OBSERVATIONS
--------------------------------------
= As of October 2025, Boustan is new to the Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall, but they were definitely getting business from curious people who saw the new vendor.
= Employees were also working out kinks and the process of ordering didn't seem as smooth as an operation that has been in business a lot longer, but assuming time will fix that. read more
