The short rib hummus and fatoush are both must tries, no question. However, while the meal started and an incredible high note won those two dishes, the schwarma wrap was poorly constructed and brought the experience down a notch. What should have been a spicy, smoky, savory wrap surrounded by a pillowy soft pita was unfortunately completely over powered by the pickled vegetables to the point where the schwarma wasn’t even detectable. Boutros’ take on falafel was interesting but nothing to write home about. At the end of the day there were some real stand out dishes here, but also some clear misses as well.

Fantastic food and experience!
The lamb shanks were incredibly tender and full of flavor—one of the best I’ve had. The mushrooms hummus was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully prepared and served hot and fresh.
The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. I left completely satisfied and already excited to come back. Highly recommend.

Amazing Lebanese food in this cozy restaurant. We tried half the items on the menu and they were all exquisite.
What stood out: the hummus with mushrooms, and the lamb shank (which is enough food for 4 if you order appetizers). Good wine selection too.
The negative: just after our third course was served, our server informed us “we have a reservation at 8:20 on this table” (which was in 20 minutes; we had placed our drinks order at 6:45 so we thought this was tooooo short). So when you book, confirm that you’re not going to get kicked out.

Fantastic Middle Eastern restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. I’m not usually a big fan of small plate spots but this was an exception. The dishes were fresh and dripping in flavor; definitely try the Short Rib Shawarma Hummus and the Duck Fat Batata Harra

Adding this to my list of favorite Lebanese spots. Very creative take on traditional Lebanese cuisine – great flavors. The staff were very welcoming and kind, we even got to meet the owners. Everything was amazing but I have to say my favorite thing was the orange blossom ice cream *chefs kiss*

Went here with friends for brunch and were genuinely impressed. The menu had a great variety and everything we tried was absolutely delicious – rich Middle Eastern flavors with a modern twist. You can feel the personal touch behind the dishes, like they come from someone’s family kitchen. One highlight was the open kitchen concept – loved watching the chefs in action. The place is lively and clearly popular, and for good reason. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Came here with my husband and son for dinner and it was amazing! The service and ambiance were great and the flavors of the food are on another level. Our waitress was so pleasant and offered some great recommendations. The falafel was so crispy and creamy at the same time- must try! The standout was the lamb dish. I highly recommend this restaurant!

A group of us went to Boutros for my birthday and we had a fantastic time! We ordered quite a few items off the menu and loved every single thing. For me, the stand out dishes were the mushroom hummus, the half chicken and the fingerling potatoes with toum but honestly I can’t wait to go back to try different things off the menu, as I have full confidence I’ll love them all! We ended our meal with the Mom’s Knafeh. Everything was simply fantastic, the service was attentive without being too much and the atmosphere was just the right amount of lively. 10/10 recommend. This might be our new brunch spot!

Outstanding experience from start to finish: the food, drinks, atmosphere, service, and hospitality was amazing. Can’t recommend the kabobs or fattoush enough! Will definitely be going back to try more from the menu.

Everything was 10/10: food, service and ambiance. I wish I had taken photos! Cocktails: milk + honey and their hi fi Negroni are both *chefs kiss* we had labneh with both types of pita, Brussels sprouts, fattoush, wagyu kebabs and the braised lamb as the main dish. Portions are perfect for sharing and the layout of the menu allows you to have a great variety of dishes. Finished off the meal with a scoop of the Turkish coffee Ice cream. I can’t wait to come back!
