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.
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
Had the chicken combo, sandwich size was okay & also good packaging but it was supper greasy & super not good, I had stomach ache for 24 hours & had to leave work mid day. Potatoes cut too small & overcooked with dark brown Color? Sorry first & last time, money wasted.
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!
