Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...
best eggplant dish, with tahini and bahara. Great location. Enjoyed it with my dear daughter. 🍷good service.
If you have never tried Balaboosta, you need to stop what youre doing and book now!
The whipped feta (pictured) is so good i dreamed about it all week after trying it and went back the next weekend. Their wine menu is great and reasonably priced. Food is west village pricing, but still approachable! $18 for the feta, 20-35 for entrees and worth every penny.
The staff is amazing, from the host, to food runners to server. (Thank you Mark, for an amazing time).

The Mediterranean-inspired menu offers fresh and flavorful dishes. Notable mentions are the hummus, whipped feta, and the amazing homemade pita bread. The brick chicken with a couscous sauce is very moist, and the short ribs are so tender they melt in your mouth. Other highlights include the superb kebabs and the skirt steak cooked to perfection. The menu also features well-portioned potatoes and a small but good wine collection, with the Israeli red being particularly good. The cocktails, such as the Yalla and Matos, are also praised.
