Reviews portray Bei as a standout Lebanese spot in downtown Montreal, with fresh, authentic flavors across wraps, shawarmas, and bowls, crispy saj bread, and generous portions; the beef and chicken shawarmas are repeatedly praised as among the best in the city, and dishes like halloumi, labneh, and za'atar fries are consistently noted for quality and balance; the ambiance is welcoming, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with friendly staff and good value including student discounts; while overall experience is highly positive, a few comments mention slower service, occasional miscommunication at the counter, or a safety incident in one visit; taken together, Bei emerges as a top choice for those craving high quality Lebanese food and a vibrant, authentic vibe that invites return.
Finally tried this place a few weeks ago. I have gone several times since & refered my clients & friends. Everyone loved it. They have seating space on the second level. Very nice, & friendly staff :)

Honestly, I was really impressed with the food. Everything tasted fresh & super flavorful. The beef shawarma was easily one of the best I've had in Montreal, & I've tried a lot of spots. The halloumi & fattoush were just as good, everything felt well made.
On top of that, the customer service was great. The staff were friendly, welcoming, & made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're into shawarma.
Absolutely delicious & super authentic! The chicken shawarma is to die for-seriously, ask for the Bei one, you won't regret it! The service is incredibly friendly & they make sure everything is A1. Highly recommend!
Right in the heart of downtown Montreal - prime spot for university & college students - & I have to say, I was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
First off, major credit for the marketing & design. Everything felt thoughtfully done. The colors, the wallpaper, the art, even the layout - it all works. You walk in, there's stairs to the right leading upstairs for more seating, a beautiful arza (Lebanese cedar) feature that immediately gives you that cultural nod, the shawarma spits front & center, & a super clean counter. The owner was working when I went, which I always appreciate.
I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first - there are so many shawarma spots in Montreal, & not all of them are truly shawarma. But everything looked fresh, & it delivered.
I ordered the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, chicken sandwich, & the za'atar fries with sauce.
The za'atar fries were excellent - honestly a highlight. Great seasoning, great flavour.
The beef was my favourite - really solid. The chicken shawarma was pretty authentic (& I say this as someone Lebanese), though for my personal taste it had a bit too much toum (garlic sauce), & I would've liked a bit more tang to balance it. I did get it extra crispy, which I'd recommend. Loved that they include fries inside the sandwich - that classic touch.
Location-wise, downtown isn't my favourite because it's always jam-packed, but that's part of the vibe.
Overall, I really enjoyed it & will definitely be back. Great execution, thoughtful branding, & genuinely good shawarma. Well done.
Really nice, I always come here for the cheap pita trio (11,50$). It is a bit dry, but that's because there isn't enough sauce, & honestly the fries make up for it anyway. Their fries sauce is lovely. For the price, I'm not complaining.
First time at Bei, & definitely not the last!! Amazing shawarma, fresh ingredients,divine toum & super friendly staff. 🤩 Atyab chawarma djej ma3 toum . 👏

The service was good & the place is clean, the prices are great for downtown, they have a trio deal: chicken shawarma with fries & coke for 10$ which is great. The reason I gave the food 3 stars simply because the sandwich doesn't have much chicken & I felt bloated after, I felt like I got full from the fries more.. but also I'm getting old so my stomach is not handling greasy foods very well. But for the price it's a great place for students.
I saw their restaurant from a review on TikTok from EveryEatsPossivle so I figured why not give it a try.
I can say 100% after eating here, it was so worth trying.
The owner & staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful, the interior decor was both stunning & clean but mostly importantly, the food was delicious.
I took 2 different pitas that the owner recommended, the beef bei pita & batata pita.
The beef bei no joke was definitely one of the best beef pitas I've ever had, the seasonings & juiciness from the beef mixed in with the sauce & other condiments made it worth every penny spent.
As for the batata, my best comparison to it is a cream cheese vegetable sandwich but turned into a pita, they even added zaatar chips which gave it an extra bit of crunch.
On top of all that, they have a nice 10$ pita trio deal & even discounts if you are a Concordia student.
So overall this place is awesome, if you haven't had their food yet, then I highly recommend to try it at least once.
Amazing Shawarma place, top 5 in Montreal in my opinion! Delicious drinks & the Bei sandwich option with halloumi is the move!! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to try a new local shawarma shop! Staff is super friendly too!

Got there with a friend at 10:10 pm the doors were closed when it says that it closes at 11pm. The staff looked at us didnt even care to apologies. Took my car from south shore for no reason.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants for sure! I really loved it.
The bowls are super tasty & quite filling, the quantity is more than enough. The vibe of the place is very positive, & the staff are genuinely friendly & welcoming.
The labneh appetizer was amazing, & the shawarma bowl with all the veggies completely stole the show. The flavors are perfectly balanced you get a mix of sweet, sour, & salty in every bite without anything being overpowering.
It's honestly become my goto place whenever I'm craving Lebanese food. Would definitely recommend!
I went there cause my friend loved kebabese food & wanted a crispy sandwich.
I realized I knew one of owner/worker & the food was delicious we both got our trio shawarma poulet with batata harta but realized the sandwich although very delicious was not crispy. I got my tarboush & was happy with it that I got a box.
I would return for sure. It is a great service ambiance & food. Will try another item next time.

The shawarma chicken wrap was so good, ask for extra crispy is even better. Needed a bit more sauce in the middle but was very tasty. The French fries were so crispy & tasty!
