This was a quick pit stop for my wife and I on a road trip. The Philly and Gyro were delicious and the Baklava was also great!

We ordered a variety of food.Gyro lamb & chicken platter,Hummus platter (had 4 items) also had stuffed grape leaves.We ordered our food to go and everything was wonderful. Flavors, portions almost reminded me of being back in Greece or Turkey. Thats has been difficult to do but I will go back. We both had sweet iced tea wasnt too sweet, just perfect. The dessert I wanted wasnt available but I will call before I go back to see if they have it available. Kunafa- shredded phyllo pastry with cheese and honey served with a hot mint tea or turkish coffee.

I ordered the whiting fish combo it comes with one piece of fish with bones so becareful.Two hush puppies with corn inside..Tasty , slightly sweet..Small shrimps ..I dont like Coleslaw so they added two extra hush puppies..This establishment is a knock off of Nickss seafood..The Gizards that I ordered was cooked perfect ..It was just salty..The fish was dry and not crunchy I dont like bones in my fish. First time me eating at this place I feel there being stingy with the food..For the price you pay. Why one 1⃣ piece of fish ..Not worth it! This is how my to go plate was presented

Ordered the philly cheese steak and Cajun fries. Very good and would definitely order again and try something a bit more authentic Mediterranean next time. Prices good and serving was more than enough! Delivery was fast! Just moved to area so definitely into seeing all cola has to offer.

Great food, relaxing dine-in facility, and very cool coffeehouse lounge inside. (Fried scallops are definitely my favorite item)

Amazing. In a word it was a complete and awesome experience. We were driving from far away and arrived a little later. Even though their dine in was closed, the friendly staff accommodated us and our family by providing us a safe place to sit and eat and also use their very clean restrooms.As for the food, the food was delicious. The Philly cheese steak platter was yummy. The mix grill platter was good as well but it was a little less spicy for my taste. They accommodated me with some hot sauce and tzatziki sauce but I would recommend the Philly cheese steak platter. Their french fries and pink lemonade was good as well.All in all, 5 stars well worth it 👍🏼

Decent food and excellent service. They have a big selection to choose from. The seafood is great and the wings are tasty! My family also enjoyed the falafel sandwich and chicken gyro. I also love that they are open late.

We went to grab some dinner and we were assisted by Alaya at the register. She has AMAZING customer service. She was extremely helpful and sweet. Once we ordered and sat down she came over to let us know when we could expect our order. When she brought out the order she was careful to check and see if we needed anything else-more than once. The food IS CRAZY GOOD. We will certainly be back when we are back in town.

Nice place, nice owners, nice food, nice coffee selection as well. Its done just as good as some of the independent places in the NW, and in this section of town, its a good thing to have. Id say this was like some of the good Sacramento coffee I had when i was there.I got a steak and cheese and gyro sandwich with fries and then one with the lentil soup. These are better than Salems in FL I know. and in SC seems tough to find a good gyro. A few spots tops I believe with this being one of them.I like the prices also on the full steak and cheese if I was to get it vs the one at Verys where rib eye might be used, but its still up to 14 bucks. Id take the one here for close to 9 bucks with 1 extra inch vs the 11 inch at the Philly place.I will be back.

Review №32

This is one of our go-to take out spots, though we have dined in during the before times. The food is always fresh and taste, the staff very genial. I usually get the vegetable platter in which the babaganoush (which sometimes sells out) is great. Alternatively, I get the falafel sandwich while the wife will get either the lamb gyro or wings. Only complaint is I wish the fries were more consistent...sometimes theyre great, other times mediocre.

Boshreen is one of our familys favorite places to eat. Today I ordered the Kabsa with onion and chickpea sauce (husbands fav), a lamb gyro, pronounced yee-roh. Got some grape leaves, some beef samosa(its fried with beef and potatoes inside), plus a chicken tenders kids meal. Will continue to spread word about this wonderful place.

Review №35

I have been spoiled from living in Michigan most of my life, where there are plenty of very good Mediterranean restaurants. Since moving to South Carolina, I’ve been disappointed. However, I would definitely go to Borshreen again. The Libyan soup, macaroni bishamel, and gyro were all amazing. The Turkish coffee was sweet and strong, as a good cup of cardamom laced coffee should be. The carrot cake was tasty, but the coconut cake was too dry and the coconut flavor was lost in too much sweet. The warm pita sprinkled with oregano was a nice holder for the slightly bitter babaganoush. The falafel appetizer was crispy and tasty with the dip, which seems to be where the traditional falafel spices were found in this dish. There are several more things on the menu that I look forward to trying on future visits.

Gyro was really lacking in meat and flavor; there was no grilled onions on it. Sauce should be on the side with to go meals because it causes bread to get soggy

The food was delicious and well priced at this place. The biggest downside is the location and the interior design/atmosphere. It was so abandoned looking that we weren’t sure if they were open. Food was authentic though and friendly staff!

My husband and I tried Boeshreen for the first time 2 weeks ago. We were very happy with the customer service and the food. Our first visit we had the lunch special and the lamb gyro. We came back this past week and had the Philly cheesesteak and the Falafel Sandwich. Once again awesome customer service and great food!! So great we came back again a day later. Its a great place to try and you will be happy you did!!

One of the few halal restaurants in the area.Excellent taste, quality, portion size, and price! I have tried many things on the menu, and they are all great. I havent tried the desserts or coffee though.I take one start off due to the sometimes awkward service. There is a hot bar as well as some things which are made to order. If in a group ordering from both types of menu items, the hot bar food would be ready much earlier than the made to order. You can alleviate this by ordering the hot bar food some time after the made to order food. Also, you may have to wait a bit if the cashier is assembling someones food from the hot bar.

My family and I felt hungry when we go back to Florida from North Carolina. I searched some halal food than I saw this restaurant.It was perfect than I thought. Cheese burger and gyro was delicious 😋 it was pretty quick. The workers were so polite. The manager was friendly, good cook at the same time. Turkish coffee was amazingEvery one should be stop by this Libya restaurant on their trip.

The food is nothing special. The restaurant is kind of dirty. The food display was dirty with finger prints. The glass food display also had empty trays. The service was slow. I was expecting more from the good reviews. We came 15 minutes after it opened so it was disappointing. The bathroom wasn’t clean either. It was nasty.

BAD SERVICE AND NOT CLEAN!!!!!!!!!If I cloud I would of put zero stars 😠They don’t use gloves, touching all the food with their hands. Now that the Covid-19 virus is around they need to be clean and safe, they don’t care. The MANAGER! Told my husband that if he didn’t like it he could go to another place where they use gloves 🤬After doing the transaction to return the money to my husband‘s card the manager through the card at him and walked away.

Review №96

My colleagues and I ate here for lunch. The food was good overall. I had the chicken over rice lunch special with soup and salad for $7.99. Between the three dishes, there was plenty of food. My only advice to management is to be a bit more generous with the meat portion; there was only about a quarter of a chicken on the bed of rice. I still had half my rice left after eating the chicken with rice.We arrived the around 11:30am. The place was empty and we were served fairly quickly. A few others had come by the time we left. The establishment is new, but I think they will get a lot busier over time as word of mouth gets out.The inside is quite nice and not what we expected judging by the appearance on the outside. The coffee/pastry shop has great atmosphere
