Review Summary

Overall, customers describe Boustan as a place with delicious Lebanese inspired offerings and generous portions when the kitchen is at its best, and note that service is often quick and friendly, with several visits praised for care and tasty food. However, a number of reviews point to declining food quality and smaller portions in recent months, with complaints about overly salty potatoes, dry chicken, and inconsistent preparation, especially during busy hours. Cleanliness and ambiance are sometimes cited as issues, though many praise the staff for their patience and good service. Price increases are mentioned alongside value concerns, leading to mixed impressions about whether the experience justifies the cost. Despite these fluctuations, many reviews still recommend Boustan and consider it among the top Lebanese options in Montreal, with emphasis on the shawarma and a generally fresh feel when the team puts in effort.

Best Boustan in NDG, no debate. The food is always fresh, portions are huge, & the garlic potatoes are actually insane. Staff is super friendly & the service is fast even when it's busy. The atmosphere is clean & chill, perfect spot for a quick meal or late-night craving. I've been multiple times & they never disappoint. Easily 5 stars.

Boustan used to be amazing, I've been going to downtown location for 30 years.
Nowadays the chain is coming out with more products - & slick marketing but the quality of the food has declined. Garlic potatoes are bland. No salt in food. No more omelettes for the veggie sandwiches & cheap tasting tahini sauce. They are focused on making money but forgot the food that made them famous…
Such a shame..!

was really disappointed with my recent visit to Boustan. The food did not taste fresh, & the portions were much smaller than expected for the price. The chicken was dry, & the potatoes were overly salty.

The service was also frustrating - staff seemed rushed & not very attentive, & the restaurant didn't look very clean during peak hours.

For the price they charge, I expected better quality & better customer service. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations, & I wouldn't rush back.

I ordered two junior plates last night & I could have fit both into one container, I've been ordering from you guys for well over a year pretty much the same thing every time, & you just got real stingy with quantity of everything, rice potatoes, chicken, beef. You can't ask people to pay what they pay & then jip them on quantity. I'm giving you a two star, I'll check back in a couple of weeks to see if it was a one-off.

Staff look like they dread being there.
Theres even a super cool guy who worked at burger blvd next door who now looks depressed.

The last time,my wife asked for the door to be closed & the manager shrugged his face & coldly replied'dont you have a jacket?'

Its just a weird atmosphere now...

Id give it 1 star if it wasnt for the food
But even then nothings great about it except the meat...
Potatoes always undercooked...
Rice feels like hospital rice.

*Update(02/2025); place has gotten better since & lives up to its almost 4 star rating 🙌 good stuff 👍

I will leave a good star review because the food does taste good but man are they cheap with their portions. I ordered a chicken bowl with potatoes I love potatoes & for me to tell the guy take some potatoes out you can imagine how stuffed that bowl would have been of potatoes. I don't know where they'd put the chicken. Thdn the "cook" who looked more likeca grumpy Oscar from Sesame Street, doesn't cut from the skewer but takes chicken that's been already cut sitting on the stove plate. I can't stand that, that is the worst way to serve it. I get my plate I sit in my car.. I'm looking for the chicken..!!! So basically, paid close to $18.00 for maybe 3 oz of chicken with six pounds of potatos & a 7up. I'll stick to my Greek restaurant thank you.
