Bei - Beiroots offers an authentic Lebanese shawarma experience with fresh ingredients, featuring crispy Bei style sandwiches on saj or pita, labneh and halloumi options, and bowls that balance sweet, sour and salty flavors, complemented by a refreshing mint and lime juice. The space is warm, clean and modern with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive, friendly staff, and prices that feel generous for the portions. The consensus is that the shawarma is among the best in Montreal, with standout crispy edges and flavorful sauces that make it feel homemade, though a few reviews note the chicken can be dry and service can be slow on busy days. Many diners praise the variety and consistency, from labneh to za'atar fries, and return for the reliable quality and inviting vibe. Overall it comes across as a top choice for Lebanese comfort food, great for students or a casual meal downtown, with strong love for the authentic taste and the friendly service.
Bonne cuisine avec un gout authentique. Cependant employées sont déconnectés de leur clientèle. On commande en français, mais on nous répond en anglais. Ça fait deux fois que je suis allé dans ce restaurant & à chaque fois, la caissière ne savait pas à qui appartient les commandes pour emporter. Hier soir, arrivé à la maison, je m'aperçois que j'ai un plat shish taouk (poulet) alors que j'ai commandé & payé pour un plat shawarma (boeuf).
Owner & staff are very welcoming & kind. Whether you're in the area or not make the detour to have a taste of Lebanon in the heart of downtown Montreal. Saraha you won't regret it . 10 starts if I could 🤩

First time at Bei, & definitely not the last!! Amazing shawarma, fresh ingredients,divine toum & super friendly staff. 🤩 Atyab chawarma djej ma3 toum . 👏
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!

J'ai commandé le shawarma poulet & malheureusement l'expérience n'a pas été bonne. Le sandwich était trop huileux, au point où l'huile coulait. Après l'avoir mangé, j'ai eu mal à l'estomac.
I have never been so eager to leave such a good review, yet here I am! Walking into Bei feels like a quick trip back to Beirut. The authenticity of the food is unmatched & leaves you mesmerized by the quality & perfect balance of true Lebanese flavours. Besides, they offer a discount for students which makes studying more enjoyable thanks to the diversity of their menu. Staff members are kind as well, I highly recommend!
The food was alright. Standing 20 minutes for 2 shawarmas is pretty long when its not very busy. The girl at the counter could atleast smile or say thank you, it wouldnt harm her.
Unfortunately, this was the worst chicken shawarma I've had. The chicken was very dry, the garlic sauce had a bitter taste, & the beef was only slightly better. I also found the prices quite high for the quality. I purchased 4 trios & 2 chicken sandwiches for a total of $109
