Modern Middle Eastern

Boutros

Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

Named after Chef Allen Dabagh's father, Boutros is a warm, inviting space that feels like a family reunion, characterized by its communal tables and shareable dishes. The chef himself designed and built the restaurant, from the concrete bar to the moss walls, truly inviting you into his home. It's a refined Middle Eastern restaurant where wood-fired cooking, layered spice, and Atlantic Avenue sophistication come together with quiet confidence. The atmosphere balances exposed brick and industrial elements with botanicals and soft lighting, creating an eclectic feel with a preserved mosaic tile floor.

★ The Legend
Short Rib Shawarma Hummus
This dish takes classic hummus and elevates it with tender, melt-in-your-mouth short rib, creating a rich and deeply satisfying flavor profile. It's consistently praised for its perfect pita accompaniment, which is baked in-house and served warm and soft.
◆ Fan Favorite
Miso Baba Ghanoush
This unique take on baba ghanoush infuses smoky roasted eggplant with nutty-toasty miso and a hint of spicy togarashi, offering a complex and addictive flavor. Regulars adore its creamy texture and the way it pairs perfectly with the fluffy, fresh-baked pita.
● Chef's Pick
Wood Roasted Half Chicken
Chef Allen Dabagh brines the chicken for 12-24 hours and then air-dries it for a day before roasting, resulting in a wonderfully moist and tender bird. It's served with a super bold cilantro-garlic sauce, Kizbarah Ou Toum, which is a testament to the chef's Middle Eastern heritage.
◇ Hidden Gem
Bulgur Fried Rice, Soujouk, Egg, Scallion, Garlic-Ginger, Sweet Soy
This innovative dish uses bulgur wheat instead of traditional rice, absorbing flavors readily and offering a unique texture. It's a brilliant bridge of familiar yet new flavors, incorporating Middle Eastern soujouk sausage with Asian-inspired ingredients.
Insider Tip

Don't just order a few dishes and call it a night. Boutros's menu is designed for progression, with smaller plates and shared dishes meant to build on one another throughout the meal. Order across the menu, allowing dishes to arrive in sequence, and let the pacing guide your experience for a truly composed and layered dining journey.
