Bei - Beiroots draws wide praise for authentic Lebanese flavors and fresh ingredients, with shawarma and saj frequently named among the best in Montreal, notes of crisp textures, rich toum, and generous fillings inside the bread. The ambience is warm, clean, and modern, with thoughtful branding and Lebanese music that enhance the experience. 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.
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
Absolutely loved our experience. The food was fresh, flavourful, & beautifully prepared. The crispy chicken & beef shawarma were incredibly delicious-perfectly seasoned & cooked just right. Their homemade pineapple mint lime juice was unbelievably refreshing & paired perfectly with the meal.
The service was warm & attentive from start to finish, & the atmosphere is cozy, modern, & welcoming. Definitely one of Montreal's must-try spots. Highly recommend!
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
Le shawarma était bon, mais on a attendu 25 min pour 2 shawarmas seulement. Le service est trop trop trop lent, on peut les voir bavarder, prendre leur temps alors que 10 personnes attendent... malheureusement ça nous a gâché l'expérience. Sinon le shawarma boeuf Bei est très bon, bonne sauce & les aliments sont frais. J'espère que vous allez mieux vous organiser pour être plus rapide :) !
Excellente expérience chez Maison BEI ! Le shawarma est grave délicieux, les portions sont bien généreuses & le service très chaleureux. On sent la vraie cuisine libanaise! Je recommande vivement !
Just opened BEI downtown Montreal & it's already a must-try!
Simple, classic Lebanese shawarma done right. The $10 opening combo special is amazing - super generous for downtown prices. Fresh meat, good flavour, no fuss, just solid authentic shawarma the way it should be.
If you live in Montreal or you're just passing through downtown, add this spot to your list. Always great to see another quality Lebanese restaurant make its mark in the city. Highly recommended!
