Boustan reviews highlight fresh ingredients, generous portions, a clean, modern setting, and consistently fast, friendly service that makes visits welcoming, with the vegan kebab and shawarma praised for tenderness and flavor and the garlic sauce and pita repeatedly a hit. Several reviewers call Boustan the best in Laval or among the top spots, and many mention the quality as outstanding and the dining experience satisfying. However, busy times can lead to longer waits and crowded seating, weekday service can feel inconsistent, and a few incidents include missing salad or other items in bowls, orders that arrive lukewarm, or promos that seem to skimp on protein. There are reports of moments like staff conversations in front of customers and a misstep with Uber Eats that was addressed by the manager. Overall the sentiment is strongly positive about taste and care in preparation, with occasional flaws noted but not overshadowing the appeal of Boustan.View restaurant profile
