The staff are described as friendly and attentive, and the downtown location is valued for price and accessibility, with student discounts adding to the value. Dishes like za'atar fries, labneh, halloumi pita, and falafel bowls are highlighted, while some reviewers say the sandwiches are the standout and bowls remain solid. Occasional feedback points to longer waits or occasional order mix ups for takeout, but the overall sentiment remains very positive. Overall, Bei - Beiroots is presented as a top Lebanese fast casual in Montreal, delivering fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and a vibrant, welcoming vibe.
In very recent years we went from zero good shawarma in Montreal to quite an extensive selection, but BEI is just AMAZING!! The beef shawarma with grilled saj bread is insanely good!
If you're looking for one of the best - if not *the* best - Lebanese restaurants in Montreal, Bei is a must-try.
I tried the beef shawarma saj & the chicken shawarma saj, & both were absolutely outstanding. The saj was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying soft & warm inside. The portions were generous, filled with juicy, flavorful beef & chicken.
The toum was divine - creamy, garlicky, & the perfect complement. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite.
The ambiance makes it even more special. Lebanese songs playing in the background truly give you a taste of Beirut right here in Montreal. It feels warm, vibrant, & authentic - like a little escape to Lebanon.
An amazing experience overall. Highly recommend for anyone craving high-quality Lebanese food & a true Lebanese vibe!
Very very good! Get the saj; you'll absolutely love it. Very filling so don't over-order. High quality ingredients, made with care, & an excellent atmosphere.
Ordered a chicken Saj & meat saj shawarma & both were salty, greasy & we couldn't have more than two bites ….
Very disappointed tonight with this order $35 for non edible food
Pas la meilleure place pour manger un shawarma malheureusement, service très lent, c'est très sec, très salé, des frites à l'intérieur du Saj, c'est un grand non.
Le saj était grillé limite cramé, on comprend la hype mais come on…
This was genuinely one of the best shawarma's i've ever eaten, the quality was incredible, fresh ingredients, delivered with the highest quality & care. The vibes are immaculate, the music is top tier, it's clean & chic as well! 1000/10. Come here next time you're in Montreal. The Falafel & & Shawarma on Saj bread was INSANITY.

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.
C'est un superbe endroit, la nourriture est très bonne & fraîche. Nous avions pris le sandwich au poulet bei sur pain saj crispy je peux facilement dire que c'est un des meilleur shawarma que j'ai manga montreal. L'entrée labne était très bonne & rafraîchissante. We will be back 100/100
I give this place 3 stars :
I have had crispy Saj with garlic potato, the beef was okay but the sandwich itself lacks taste to be honest , the potatoes were not the best. It's your average shawarma place.
I have seen the tiktoks & I have had higher expectations, I wouldn't be back here.
On the other hand the service is good & the place is very clean

I tried Bei tonight & it was excellent. I had the Saj Bei Chicken sandwich & it was so juicy & flavourful. I will definitely come back to try more! The place is also super clean & the staff very welcoming.
