Boosa - Monash

Located in the Bentleigh shopping strip, this cozy cafe was bustling on a Sunday morning. Despite the crowd, we were seated promptly. The Iced Nutella drink was delightful, with a decadent Nutella lining the glass. The Zaatar Chips were a bit underwhelming, tasting mostly of oregano, but the aioli was good. The Acai Bowl was delicious, not too bitter and topped with a generous portion of tasty granola. The service was satisfactory, although we were not checked on or offered more drinks after our meals were cleared. Overall, a pleasant experience worth mentioning.

The staff at this restaurant are very friendly and the Middle Eastern inspired brunch food is fantastic! I highly recommend trying the rosti, all the flavors blend together perfectly. This is a great spot for those looking for something different from the usual brunch options. I visited on a Sunday during brunch hours and was seated right away. The coffee was excellent and the pastries looked tempting as well.

I’ve been to this place twice now. The first time I ordered a meal that is only available on Tuesdays called “housemade hummus”. The friendly waitress advised that everything in this meal is vegan which is a big plus for me. The second time I had “malabi pana cotta” requested vegan. It would be great to see them upload their new menu here on Zomato as there are a few items which have been taken off the version that is on here.

The coffee and the food were good. But, like most busy cafes, it was too noisy to enjoy my coffee in peace. I think I am getting old if I am complaining about the noise level I would go there again.

I was recommended this place for brunch by a colleague who said it was very good. We came on a busy Saturday morning and waited in line for a table. The front of house was very good, he reassured us that he would be arranging a table for us shortly and he did. We only waited about 10 minutes. We ordered the potato latke dish and the haloumi smashed avo. As the cafe was packed with people we waited about 40 minutes for our food. We didn’t mind as we were sipping on our smoothie and coffee as we waited. The waitress came out to apologise to say that our food would be here soon as the kitchen was very busy. We appreciated the gesture.When the food came boy was it worth the wait! The potato latke was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The smoked salmon on top paired perfectly with the fresh herbs and tzatziki and the poached egg had a beautiful runny yolk. What a genius dish!The smashed avo came with an assortment of cherry tomatoes and on top of one slice of toast (excellent as we prefer one instead of two slices one is easier to eat) and again the egg was poached beautifully a fresh and delicious dish. The coffees were aromatic and beautifully made.This place is definitely a place to keep coming back to!
