Easily one of my favorite spots for Middle Eastern eats in the city -- every single thing we had here was so delicious. The ambiance was really lovely and the servers are great at recommending dishes. This restaurant is perfect to share dishes family-style. The Labneh here is so special, truly one of my favorite I've eaten. I cannot recommend it enough, am definitely coming back soon.

Favorite local spot, I don’t always love fusion but this place does it well. Short rib shawarma and al pastor are great, or you can have an excellent meal with mostly mezze.

Nice place and people, but $24 for a single scotch. I just got back from Scotland where it was 6 pounds ?

Wow!!! The short rib humus combined with the to die for pita, the sweet & savory bulgur friend rice, and the grilled octopus kabob which the name doesn’t begin to describe how Butros has successful given a terrific modern twist to middle eastern cuisine that any foodie would crave. Then the cocktails, especially my favorite Thistle and Smoke, just adds to the completeness of the meal and experience! Can’t wait to come back to share with my good friends.
Honestly, underwhelmed by the food there - it was just broadly pretty bland and under spiced, and the cauliflower wrap was different temperatures for each ingredient. Service is good though!

The labneh is heavenly and the winner! The kibbeh fritters and fig toast were delicious as well! The fattoush salad can be skipped.Will definitely go back to try the meat dishes in the future!The only negative review was that our server was adamant about not replacing the soujouk (sausage) in the bulgur fried rice dish with a vegetarian alternative. It seemed strange that another vegetable or even falafel couldn’t be added instead of sausage.

When I tell you I ordered a container of the wagyu kebab sauce to-go because it was so insanely tasty…

Amazing food and vibes, a good amount of vegetarian options! My favorites were the falafel and the kibbeh. The wine selection is really good and the cocktail I had was delicious.
Really happy with this place. I have Celiac and they were very careful and explained what I could have. My (gluten-eating) companions enjoyed as well. The cocktails were really special!

I'd say four stars for the food and three stars for the prices. This spot is surrounded by some incredible middle eastern at low prices and it did not measure up. Their fluffy homemade pita and creamy falafel are delicious but was tempted to go to Sahadi's afterward and get their incredible baba ganoush and hummus after trying Boutros' unique but salty miso baba ganoush and mediocre hummus (but the short rib was incredible)! Fried rice was forgettable. For the price, that's just not okay, so wouldn't come back or recommend but glad to try it.

Half chicken was superb but interior was quite chilly. Ought to be better heated for the prices that are being charged…
Truly incredible meal! Loved the pita, mushroom hummus, and French toast. Falafel I could take or leave.

Had a weekday lunch where most items on menu were breakfast items. Fried rice was oily and salty. Rib sandwich not much better. Nice atmosphere and waitress. No evidence this is a middle eastern restaurant.
