C'est super bon. Vraiment un de mes endroits préférés de Montreal pour manger un shish taouk.

I had a classic chicken shawarma wrap. It was very delicious. The garlic sauce is not overpowering. The whole sandwich was very well balanced.

The store is so new & beautiful.

Le problème avec cet endroit est le manque de professionnalisme. Mon amie & moi avons commandé deux shawarmas, & mon amie, en plein milieu d'une bouchée, a trouvé un morceau de métal dans le sien. Il avait la forme d'une agrafe. Nous avons immédiatement pris des photos & sommes retournées au comptoir, car cela ne devrait jamais arriver. Après avoir expliqué la situation, le personnel semblait aussi confus que nous. Un employé nous a offert « tout ce que nous voulions », mais il a ensuite disparu. Personne ne semblait inquiet ni surpris. Mon amie, ne voulant plus rien avoir à faire avec cet endroit, a demandé un remboursement & a jeté le reste de sa nourriture. Dommage car les shawarmas étaient vraiment excellents. C'est inacceptable, surtout étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un danger majeur. La façon nonchalante dont le personnel a réagi était très dérangeante.

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.

Ranking-wise, I'd say:
1. Beef shawarma
2. Chicken shawarma
3. Chicken sandwich

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.

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!
