Bei is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic Lebanese cuisine, with many diners praising the freshness of the ingredients, the quality of the Saj bread, and the flavorful shawarma options. The restaurant is frequently described as clean, stylish, and welcoming, offering a comfortable atmosphere that caters well to students and professionals alike. While the majority of reviews highlight exceptional service and generous portions at fair prices, a few visitors noted inconsistencies in wait times, seasoning preferences, or professional conduct among staff. Overall, it is highly recommended as a must-try spot for those seeking a genuine taste of Beirut in a modern downtown setting.
I stopped by Bei Downtown Montreal to grab a pita falafel sandwich for a quick dinner & to try it for the first time. Unfortunately, it was a real big disappointment.
The vegetables were fresh, but the falafel itself missed the mark. Instead of being crispy on the outside & light & fluffy on the inside, it was extremely soft & overly moist. It was also much too too salty & heavily spiced, which completely overpowered the other flavors. The texture simply wasn't what I expect from a good falafel.
I do not throw food away, but this time I couldn't even finish the sandwich. It was that disappointing.
Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend the falafel & I dont think that I will come back to try something else in the future since my first impression was unfortunately not a good one.
I just had the pita shawarma chicken bei to go. I was gonna eat it at the park didn't even make it two steps out the door I finished it. Absolutely delicious!!!
Good place in Centerville for a no-nonsense middle eastern meal. Ordered the Halloumi & Boeuf/Beef Bei Pita Wraps & French Fries - as part of a customary'Trio', a soda can drink came along with the meal. The Wraps had good Halloumi Cheese, veggies, chunks of shaved rotisserie Beef, & sauces - all assembled in deli style. The Fries were deliciously seasoned & crisp! The meal was entirely affordable, setting us back by approx. CAD 30, including taxes & tips. Seating is limited downstairs but additional tables are located upstairs - clean place, only minor wrinkle being non-use of gloves by a friendly person behind the assembly line as he handled veggies - soon redressed cheerfully upon request.

Food was really good. The place was clean, & the ingredients looked fresh. It felt like an authentic Lebanese shawarma spot with the classic pickles, fries, chicken, & garlic sauce.
I ordered the pita sandwich for $11. It was a good size, & the chicken was ok but nothing special on the marination/ chicken spices.. The garlic sauce is a personal preference, but for me it was a bit too garlicky & overpowered the chicken flavour. Pita bread was fresh.
Overall, a good spot & worth trying. A smile from the people behind the counter would make a big difference by the way! 😉😁
This is my second time getting Bei. The first time I got the chicken shawarma pita trio & today I got the chicken shawarma bowl. The bowl is so much better than the sandwich in my opinion. It's filled with flavor & seasonings. The potato, rice, salad, chicken ratio is perfect. I also ordered their home made Ayran. It was not the best, it lacked the yogurt bitterness & it was not worth the 5$. The interior is very cute but it was very packed. Overall, it is a good takeout place & its location is very convenient & good for students who are looking for a good place to get food before they study.
Really nice, I always come here for the cheap pita trio (11,50$). It is a bit dry, but that's because there isn't enough sauce, & honestly the fries make up for it anyway. Their fries sauce is lovely. For the price, I'm not complaining.
I saw their restaurant from a review on TikTok from EveryEatsPossivle so I figured why not give it a try.
I can say 100% after eating here, it was so worth trying.
The owner & staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful, the interior decor was both stunning & clean but mostly importantly, the food was delicious.
I took 2 different pitas that the owner recommended, the beef bei pita & batata pita.
The beef bei no joke was definitely one of the best beef pitas I've ever had, the seasonings & juiciness from the beef mixed in with the sauce & other condiments made it worth every penny spent.
As for the batata, my best comparison to it is a cream cheese vegetable sandwich but turned into a pita, they even added zaatar chips which gave it an extra bit of crunch.
On top of all that, they have a nice 10$ 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.
Had it 3 times to perfect my review. Second day it opened, last week, & today. Had 3 different things. Chicken is very very dry. Beef is a bit better but still on the drier & saltier end for shawarma. Bei style is awesome. Love the sauce. Their crispy shawarma makes it a lot better. Without the bei style & without crispy pita/saj it's mediocre. Good student discounts!
Really good, with the recent'crunchy shawarma' craze, it hits the spot.
It is better done with a Pita than the Saj, but both are equally tasty.
The increased demand for extra crispy comes with longer wait times, but that's what you signed up for.
