Review Summary

Overall, Boustan reviews show a mix of strong positives and some disappointments. Many customers praise fresh, well-seasoned Lebanese dishes with generous portions, plentiful sauce, and a good variety of salads, noting that chicken shawarma can be flavorful when given some spice and that beef shawarma should not include coleslaw. Some experiences mention very friendly and fast service and clean restaurants, while others report dry chicken, overly salted potatoes, smaller portions for the price, and rushed or inattentive staff during peak hours. A number of reviews describe reliable delivery and consistent quality, but several locations are said to vary in quality and cleanliness, with some customers saying portions have diminished over time. In short, Boustan is valued for tasty, fast Lebanese food and good service, though experiences can differ by visit and location.

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..!

Literally the worst fast food place in the UNIVERSE, customer service is always bad & with uber orders it's even worse !! They put in the bowl the bad burnt meat 90% of the time, less sauce & they forget drinks & forks/spoons ALL THE TIME !

Really appreciated my order from the team working the evening of March 2. I order boustan quite often from different places, so I can tell when extra care is put in. The portion was generous, they added plenty of sauce, a nice variety of salad, & a good amount of meat. Everything felt fresh & well prepared. Thank you to the team for doing a great job.

Malgré les nombreuses plaintes que j'ai pu entendre ou lire au sujet de ce Boustan, je dois dire que mon expérience côté cuisine a été globalement positive. Il est vrai que certains aspects, comme le service ou la gestion des commandes, semblent parfois poser problème selon certains clients. Toutefois, si on se concentre uniquement sur la nourriture, je trouve que Boustan livre la marchandise.

Les plats sont savoureux, bien assaisonnés & généreux en portions. Le shawarma est tendre, bien mariné, & les accompagnements comme le riz, les patates épicées & les sauces maison ajoutent beaucoup de goût à l'ensemble. J'ai aussi essayé leur pita au poulet, & je l'ai trouvé vraiment bon : bien garni, chaud, & préparé avec soin.

Oui, il peut y avoir des retards ou des erreurs dans les commandes, mais pour ce qui est de la cuisine en elle-même, Boustan reste une valeur sûre pour ceux qui aiment la nourriture libanaise rapide & bien préparée.

En résumé, même si certains aspects du service pourraient être améliorés, la qualité des plats reste au rendez-vous. Je recommande ce restaurant à ceux qui veulent simplement bien manger, malgré les critiques.

Order from here all the time on Uber. I think I might be their biggest fan. Food is great as always, & they follow my Uber instructions 95% of the time, which is usually to provide extra lettuce & garlic sauce, which they do free of charge.

La nourriture est bonne mais la portion de poulet laisse à désirer & ils chargent pour un extra sauce à l'ail. 20$ assiette

Shawarma meat is always dry. Potatos are the bomb, I always get extra garlic sauce.

Been a loyal Boustan custy for over 25 years (original branch). Not sure the marketing concept of changing the whole menu to bowls etc... Maybe to compete with Osmos's . This branch I never had issues with. Just ordered 2 plates which are called bowls now, no garlic sauce or hummus included. 3/4 of the bowl was rice, really skimpy on the meat, prices increased too, which is understandable across the globe. Flavour was still good but overall highly disappointed in the cheapness as the ratio was never an issue at Boustan. Will question ordering from there in future.
