After closing due to an unfortunate fire this past winter, Bustan has re-opened with a new team and menu. The new executive chef is Eli Buliskeria who has worked throughout Israel and at Paper Factory Hotel in Long Island City. They also have a new pastry chef – Shir Rozenblat.
The new menu consists of a number of small, shareable dishes including their eggplant carpaccio and crudo with their catch of the day.
They also have some new entrees, including:
- Kebab Halabi: lamb kebab meatballs with onion, tomato, long hot pepper, tahini and pine nuts served in a flaky bread bowl.
- Musakhan with roasted chicken, tahini-amba and herb salad served with taboon bread.
- Branzino featuring filets of Branzino a la Plancha with Labneh, za’atar, freekeh (Israeli risotto) and roasted fennel.
