What Filippo Gentile likes about Balaboosta:
The food here is absolutely incredible. The hummus was a divine experience, especially paired with the rectangular pita wedges. The fried olives and sesame bagel were standout dishes as well. However, the true highlight was the crispy cauliflower. The staff was attentive and we were seated promptly. They also offer vegan options! View all feedback.

The food, service, and atmosphere are all fantastic. I highly recommend trying the Shoshana cocktail and the Tahini crème brûlée for dessert.
