General Info

Bustan, meaning "garden or "orchard" in Hebrew Arabic and ancient Aramaic, expands the shores of Southern Europe, Western Asian and North Africa to Manhattan's Upper West Side as a contemporary pan-Mediterranean restaurant embracing the region's cultural diversity. It stands out in New York City's sea of Mediterranean restaurants with a distinctive palate-enticing multicultural approach to food and drink. An approach that extends to the design of the intimate space. In fact, diners take a fascinating culinary journey at Bustan, exploring menus that reflect the ingredients, flavors and culinary techniques of Greece, Italy France, Spain Morocco, Turkey and Israel. Sometimes all blossoming in a single dish! Whatever their provenance, most of the restaurant's dishes are cooked in the kitchen's centerpiece taboon oven. Fashioned after the more than two millennia old design of the classic Middle East oven, Bustan's taboon was custom built to be a one-of-a-kind with a rotating base that assures the even distribution of heat throughout the cooking process.Bustan, meaning "garden or "orchard" in Hebrew Arabic and ancient Aramaic, expands the shores of Southern Europe, Western Asian and North Africa to Manhattan's Upper West Side as a contemporary pan-Mediterranean restaurant embracing the region's cultural diversity.
