Bustan NYC New York Reviews from The Last Year
I was delightfully surprised at how.
much I enjoyed this restaurant. Went with a friend who, like me, loves Meditteranean cooking. Having traveled to different countries in Mediterranean, I learned it's more about the "farm to table" concept in preparation. You can appreciate the natural flavors of the ingredients when they come together. Well, Lo and Behold, the food at Bustan was delicious. Simply delicious. We had hummus and the portion was small and we wanted more. But instead of ordering a second, we went with Israeli Salad and then the branzino in a dish called Moroccan Fish. Yum yum. Their bread, the taboon bread, was delicious. We each couldn't get enough of the sauce in the Moroccan fish dish. Service was fantastic. Our waiter, Leonardo, knew the menu and was helpful. We weren't planning on getting desserts but then with his prodding, we got the Malabi and the halvah with ice cream. Both were so satisfying. I would definitely go back. Ambiance was lovely... very easy on the eyes. Oh I need to mention my cocktail, the spicy smoky margarita with an adjustment to go easy on the sugar was made to perfection. You won't be disappointed.
Excellent food and great service and vibes.
Will go again and highly recommend to all!
Ate at this place last night and absolutely loved it.
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. Our server Lindsay was delightful and her suggestions were on point. The hosts at the door were very friendly and the decor is absolutely beautiful. Had a show to go to at the Beacon theater and this place was a great find. Will definitely be returning when I'm in the area.
Excellent and authentic Middle Eastern food.
Enjoy the delicious breads, dips, couscous and veggies. I will go there again!
Not joking this is the best place in town!!! The service is
Not joking this is the best place in town!!! The service is top notch! Udi was so kind, professional and warm! The food is soooo delish I can't even describe! Every choice was perfect! The place is warm, clean, viby and such a good energy! Will definitely come back!
Fabulous. Really.
First visit and I'm impressed - and that's not easy! Special note: this was New Year's Eve and our expectations were adjusted for what we know can be a challenging experience. Not so for this place. Regular menu with specials, excellent service and the food was fabulous. Really fabulous. Obviously made with care and pride, each dish oozed freshness and well-balanced flavors, genuinely successful effort to represent truly authentic Mediterranean fare. SO good. Oh - the Taboon bread. Do not skip it. We had three. Four of us shared small, medium and large plates and desserts, which is how we prefer to dine, especially at an establishment new to us: Grilled Octopus was fantastic, Smoked Trout, Hummus (not your garden variety in those refrigerated containers, my friend!), a bowl of well-seasoned olives and then the lamb baked in a bread bowl were all really, really super. I must especially mention the 700 degree Cabbage. No idea what that would be - wow! Not a cabbage fan - I'm converted and craving it! Desserts - baklava, a coconut pudding with rosewaster and something else with shaved halvah (can't recall it fully. I blame food coma). Nice cocktail menu, drinks well-made and special requests easily accommodated. Returning for sure, bringing others to share the delish!
There a number of good Israeli restaurants in NYC.
Laser Wolf is perhaps the best known. Bustan is among the best, and the best value. The chicken mushakan was particularly memorable. And the standard dishes, such as humus, were all as good as anywhere in the City. We will be back
Delicious food with a beautiful outdoor patio area.
I went here for the first time last week and I will definitely be returning. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and the service was friendly and welcoming. Our waiter. Nikolai did a wonderful job describing all of the food options, and ensuring that we ordered enough for the table. I went with a wide range of people from vegetarians to meat lovers, and we were able to find some thing that satisfied everyone. Not only were the appetizers and entrées scrumptious, but the desserts exceeded all expectations. The baklava was warm served with delicious vanilla ice cream that really hit the spot!
Overall: 5/5 had a really nice meal at Bustan Food: 5/5
Overall: 5/5 had a really nice meal at Bustan Food: 5/5 everything we had was super tasty. The bread is to die for, with the perfect amount of rippability and chewability to make for the perfect pairing with one of Bustan's mezze dips - we had the whipped feta. Also had the octopus which was super tender. Some of the better octopus I've had in the area. For our main we had the chicken musakhan and it was superb, would order again. The tahini salad and super most chicken made the bread even more delectable. Drink: n/a no booze for us that night :) Ambience: 5/5 it's a small narrow restaurant, but the decor is very stylish. Service: 5/5 for how busy it was I was very impressed with the speed and attentiveness of service. Out waitress was really outstanding.
Overpriced food and also the staff is a little racist.
The food was not awful but should have been half the price. Train your staff to treat POC better.
I love Israeli food and when done right, it's just amazing.
Bustan has the potential to be very good but everything I tried was wayyyy oversalted. If the salt levels were reasonable, this could be 4 stars. I also wish they weren't so stingy with their carbs. I ordered the feta appetizer and got not one pita. We ordered the Moroccan vegetarian stew. And it was essentially a simple soup with some veggies and not much else. Cous cous was an extra $8, which seems kind of absurd.
An Excellent Evening at Bustan!
What a great night at Bustan. We started a few blocks down at The Owl’s Tail for an appetizer and some drinks and then headed to Bustan for The Main Event. We shared five small, medium and large plates between the three of us and loved it. We had the Humus with Falafel (awesome falafel by the way), Chicken Schnitzel with Creamy Potatoes, Cauliflower, Two orders of Pita Bread and My Grandma’s Housemade Couscous, and all were totally eaten, no second dinner on this night! The crowd was quite diverse from date night to families to old friends catching up; if you are looking for a fun middle eastern place on the UWS this is your spot.
We shall returnc
I’ve been in the hospitality business for over 40 years and understand the challenges. So frankly, I’ve never written a negative review though I assure all that some places deserved a poor review. However, I also won’t write a positive review unless I feel an establishment deserved a good review. We love Bustan. We come from northern Westchester county to enjoy the great food service (thank you Gabriella, Sophia, and Tuvia) and value. Last night was my birthday dinner with family. As usual, it was a wonderful experience. Plates are generally to be shared. Some of our family members are “foodies“ and all would confirm that consistently this one of each person‘s most favorite restaurants. Fish was the best we have had at any restaurant both chicken dishes were awesome. I am not a big laminator, but those who had it loved it from the appetizers to the dessert everything was delicious.The vegetarian were thrilled. The meat eaters were thrilled. We are not big drinkers but for $30-$40 wine can have an incredible meal and experience We shall return.
What a great restaurant.
Oh yum. Just thinking about dinner at Bustan makes me smile. We were first introduced by friends who live on the West Side, and have been back with and without them, never to be disappointed. Last night was particularly wonderful. A small glitch of reserving for 2 rather than 4 was graciously remedied by Danny, who after just a short wait seated us in a comfortable and quiet banquette. It is hard not to over order small and medium plates, because we all wanted old faithfuls like Greek salad, cauliflower, hummus, taqboon bread and tzaziki, but the daily specials including grilled artichokes over labneh were enticing. And while we have ordered and shared a variety of large plates in the past, we each got Chicken Musakhan, except for the outlier who ordered the crispy schnitzel with silky mashed potatoes. The Musakhan, for anyone interested, is perfectly marinated and grilled chicken atop tahini atop puffy taboon bread, with watercress and radishes. So unbelievably good. Cannot wait to go back. It can be noisy, but is worth it. Danny and our waiter Nikola were thoroughly accommodating, and didn't mind that we stayed till the bitter end of the evening.
Excellent Israeli food
After marvelous afternoon at the opera, we headed for dinner at the charming Mediterranean restaurant on Amsterdam Avenue: Bustan NYC. It was a perfect choice for both us because we are still craving Israeli food since our return from our fabulous trip in late March-early April. My husband had Kebab Halabi (Lamb Kebab, Roasted Onion, Tomato, Long Hot Pepper, Tahini, Pistachios. Baked in Bread Dome). It was delicious - his kebab looked very appetizing, so I couldn’t resist. I decided on a lighter meal: Eggplant carpaccio (Fire Roasted Eggplant, Long Hot Pepper, Shallots, Sesame, Pomegranate Molasses, Fresh Herbs). We also ordered yummy Taboon bread and hummus. Perfect dinner, prompt welcoming service and lovely ambience.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
