Yesterday I bought two'Phillo' shawarmas, one for myself & one for my daughter. When we got home, my daughter took one bite & immediately said she wouldn't eat it. At first, I didn't understand why, but after trying it myself, I was very disappointed as well.

Initially, I thought the bread was an Italian-style panini, as it looked that way when the employee was preparing it. However, in reality, it tasted awful & had a rubbery texture. It was soaked with grease from the meat & vegetables, making it excessively oily. On top of that, the meat had a strange flavor-something like tarragon or even cinnamon-which completely overpowered the natural taste of the meat.

I believe that adding a bit of garlic to the marinade would significantly improve the flavor. Overall, both my daughter & I were very disappointed-we spent money but got no enjoyment from the food.

I would strongly recommend that management reconsider the meat recipe & use higher-quality bread.

Best shawarma I've tried in Canada so far! It honestly felt nostalgic & reminded me of home. Alan & Rafai were super friendly & gave top-tier customer service. Definitely my new go-to spot! they were not shy with the garlic sauce ;)

Leur offre de duo à $8.99 est une vraie arnaque ! C'est un semblant d'un sandwich, quasiment un échantillon ! Plus petit q'un plat d'enfant !
Leur sandwich de shawarma contient une petite trace de viande ou poulet & rempli de patates & légumes ! Tu ne sens mêmes pas le goût de viande !
Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant !
Cela explique pourquoi il est toujours vide sans clients

Update September 2025: i recenly tried Boustan after a long time & the quality went up since last time I tried. I believe they made few improvements. I tried their Boustan Box which is good but they serve a very small amount of fries or garlic poatatoes (the box is small). The new bun is kind of small so if you want to eat well, I suggest the Sandwich in Saj bread. They should be a bit more generous in their quantities. Overall I recommend.

--------------------------------------

Honestly, I used to enjoy Boustan in the past but I feel that the quality & quantity has dropped a lot. Not a lot of meat in the sandwiches, more cut containing fat. The freshness is not the best either. Personally I highly recommend Shawarmaz in Laval, this is the best Shawarma in Montréal.

What can I say about Boustan.. I either eat the mix plate or mix poutine.. Food is good but sometimes few pieces of the chicken or shawarma aren't good or when you asked them for extra chicken or shawarma, they dont really add that portion, witch is frustrating... The potatoes are good most of the time with flavor but sometimes they don't have any & the regular salad is either fresh or isn't.. It's still a good place to eat & get food but it's not a perfect restaurant.

Restaurant Boustan falls short in its shawarma-making prowess. While the ambiance & service are commendable, the shawarma lacks the authentic flavor & tenderness expected. With a plethora of shawarma options available, Boustan may not be the top choice for shawarma enthusiasts seeking an exceptional culinary experience.
