Review Summary

Boustan gets high marks for flavorful fresh food and generous portions at a good price, with shawarma, garlic potatoes, falafel and veggie pita bowls often singled out as standout items and the garlic sauce described as addictive. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly, fast and welcoming, contributing to a homey feel and a dependable experience for quick lunches or late nights out. Many reviewers note convenient locations and consistent quality across visits, with gluten free options and vegetarian choices well received. Some critiques include occasional order mix ups, a burnt oil smell and warm dining areas with limited air conditioning, and concerns around food safety standards. Overall Boustan is described as one of the best in Montreal and in some cases the top Boustan, making it a must try for visitors to the city.

Mushroom falafel bowl was amazing! Highly recommend. Wish I had found this place sooner during my visit. Vegetarian delight (& the meat eaters were happy too!)

Authentic Lebanese food. Enjoyed the Falafel pitas, bowl & Tabouleh. Very friendly place.

Overall , the experience wasn't bad for the price. The portions were actually quite generous, & the food itself was tasty. They did mix up our order; giving us a chicken sandwich & meat bowl instead of a chicken bowl & meat sandwich, but honestly, no complaints there since both were still good.

One downside, though, was the strong smell of burnt oil in the restaurant, which was pretty unpleasant. Also, the place didn't seem to have proper air conditioning, which made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable.

Good food at good prices. Friendly people, fast service, indoor/outdoor seating. We ordered a salad bowl with all the veggies. Beef shawarma & chicken shawarma all really good. Would go back.

Always serve hot crispy potatoes, the beef (my preference) is great I highly appreciate the staff for mixing up my bowls as per my request. On top of that, all the staff I've personally met were generally good vibes.

Tastes good most of the time (when the meat is fresh off the stick & crispy, when its not its not great) but the amount of meat they give you is so small... like 95% of my bowl is just rice & potatoes.. paying 23$ for just rice & potatoes is 👎👎 (shawarma)
