First food stop in Montreal & it was worth it. We had the chicken & beef doner kebab, it was great! Full of flavor, bread was soft but firm so it didn't fall apart. Potato are filling with a wonderful sauce that compliments the salty. Staff is pleasant & inviting!
The food was tasty, maybe not the best I've had, but enjoyable & worth trying. There's a good variety on the menu, & everything we ordered was okay.
The service was a bit inconsistent. At times the staff were very friendly & welcoming, but on other occasions it felt less warm, which made the experience a bit uneven.
I also had some minor concerns about cleanliness, which I think could be improved. It didn't ruin the visit, but it's something the restaurant could definitely pay more attention to.
Service impeccable comme toujours. Cest le OG restaurant & ca parait par la qualité du service & la fraîcheur de la nourriture. Oublier les autres Boustan, celui de Crescent qu'il faut aller.

Amazing, this is the original Boustan & it's quality can't be matched. The team working there is also the best. Is it ever a bad time for Boustan? Didn't think so
