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
