Saint-Henri Montreal-Southwest

Lebanese Mediterranean Middle Eastern Vegetarian Kebab Rice Bowl

Review Summary

Boustan receives broad praise for tasty food, fast service, and friendly staff across many locations. Some reviewers call it the best option in town and highlight the shawarma, the garlic potatoes, and the sauces. However, consistency varies by location, with some spots delivering great meals and others not quite meeting the same standard. Menu clarity can be an issue, with questions about what can be added and at what price. A few diners report overcooked or dry chicken and concerns about the dining area cleanliness. Communication challenges with staff who do not speak French appear in some comments. The late night hours and quick service are often praised, and vegan and other custom orders are noted as being handled well at times. The potato with the sauce is mentioned as a must try, and some also enjoy the beef with white sauce. Overall, Boustan is described as delicious with good service, though many reviews urge continued improvements in consistency and menu understanding.View restaurant profile

Overall, Boustan is described as having strong Lebanese flavors with some standout moments, especially the shawarma and saj sandwiches, with many praising fresh ingredients, well balanced bowls, and friendly service. Several diners consider it among the best Boustan in the city and note generous portions when the kitchen is on form.
