Bei - Beiroots est unanimement salué pour une cuisine libanaise authentique et des ingrédients frais, avec des shawarmas et des saj réputés pour leur croustillant et leurs garnitures généreuses; les accompagnements comme labneh, halloumi et toum renforcent la saveur et la fraîcheur. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et moderne, avec une vibe Beirut et des musiques qui renforcent l'authenticité, et le rapport qualité-prix est jugé favorable avec des portions généreuses et des réductions étudiantes évoquées. Le service est globalement apprécié pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité, mais certains commentaires mentionnent des retards, des commandes à emporter mal gérées et parfois une attitude moins souriante à la caisse. Dans l'ensemble, l'expérience est décrite comme authentique et satisfaisante, faisant de Bei une étape incontournable pour goûter une vraie cuisine libanaise à Montréal, même si la constance peut varier selon l'affluence.
Right in the heart of downtown Montreal - prime spot for university & college students - & I have to say, I was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
First off, major credit for the marketing & design. Everything felt thoughtfully done. The colors, the wallpaper, the art, even the layout - it all works. You walk in, there's stairs to the right leading upstairs for more seating, a beautiful arza (Lebanese cedar) feature that immediately gives you that cultural nod, the shawarma spits front & center, & a super clean counter. The owner was working when I went, which I always appreciate.
I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first - there are so many shawarma spots in Montreal, & not all of them are truly shawarma. But everything looked fresh, & it delivered.
I ordered the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, chicken sandwich, & the za'atar fries with sauce.
The za'atar fries were excellent - honestly a highlight. Great seasoning, great flavour.
The beef was my favourite - really solid. The chicken shawarma was pretty authentic (& I say this as someone Lebanese), though for my personal taste it had a bit too much toum (garlic sauce), & I would've liked a bit more tang to balance it. I did get it extra crispy, which I'd recommend. Loved that they include fries inside the sandwich - that classic touch.
Location-wise, downtown isn't my favourite because it's always jam-packed, but that's part of the vibe.
Overall, I really enjoyed it & will definitely be back. Great execution, thoughtful branding, & genuinely good shawarma. Well done.
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!
I went there cause my friend loved kebabese food & wanted a crispy sandwich.
I realized I knew one of owner/worker & the food was delicious we both got our trio shawarma poulet with batata harta but realized the sandwich although very delicious was not crispy. I got my tarboush & was happy with it that I got a box.
I would return for sure. It is a great service ambiance & food. Will try another item next time.
The shawarma chicken wrap was so good, ask for extra crispy is even better. Needed a bit more sauce in the middle but was very tasty. The French fries were so crispy & tasty!
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
