About us

Boosa is a family affair. 

A place where the love of food and people is at the heart of everything we do.

Named after the Arabic word for ‘kiss’, the cafe was inspired by Eitam’s childhood memories of his grandmother’s effusive greeting, “give me Boosa”.

Having first bonded over the legendary Kugelhopf cake on Acland St, Tammy and Eitam are passionate about sharing contemporary interpretations of their heirloom recipes that have sustained, nourished and loosened the bagel-belts of their families for generations.

Drawing on their mixed Moroccan, Tunisian, Romanian and Yemenite heritage, Boosa offers lip-smacking middle eastern delights right in the heart of 3165.

We love our local East Bentleigh community. There is no bigger compliment to us than when someone tell us that coming to BOOSA feels like “coming home”.

Testimonials

I donr often go out of my way to write a review but this place is amazing. Everything is on point. The sevice, the food and the vibe. Food was delicious and the mint and lemon crush juice is out of this world. It was so good i returned 15 mins later to get another 1 for me and my colleague. Well done guys, your killing it!!

The service is lovely, and the menu is so very interesting! I had the latkes. Sometimes a dish with smoked salmon is sickly, and the salmon too intense, but Boosa's salmon is simply divine, sublime and fresh flavour, and not piled so high it is overwhelming. Give me quality over quantity any day. Best Latke I have ever had. There is incredible attention to detail. Amazingly delicious spot smack bam in the middle of an amazing little shopping strip.

Holy moly, freaking love this place!! My chorizo bruschetta with fried egg is to die for!! Best chippies going around too (my 7 year old is an expert in this field). I will also be trying the crushed lemon/mint drink this summer at home. Our waitress was also awesome. Boosa, we will be back!!
