As an out-of-towner, I walked by this place at lunch time & it was quite packed so I decided to stop in. There's like a dozen or so kebab / shawarma places in this 1mi radius so this one got me. I thought it was good. The chicken was delicious, along with the garlic sauce & babaghanoush. A pretty beige meal. I wish I got more veggies. I got my meal at around 2 & was literally stuffed for the entire day, until breakfast the next morning.

The "OG" location - This is by far my favourite quick eats spot in Montreal. The best chicken shawarma I have ever had, & amazing garlic potatoes. Very friendly service as well - doesn't matter if it's been months since my last visit, when I walk in they are already making my order & remember the extra turnips 🥰

The chicken & beef were both a bit dry, but the rice, potatoes, & salad were all great & fresh! Kind workers.

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.

Coming from Ottawa "land of the Shawarma" nothing beats Boustans on crescent st. Crispy cabbage, flavourful chicken & the best spice hummus mix. Let's not forget the pita was crisped to perfection. Sad to go back to Ottawa & not have this place near me. Great job!

Boustan's Crescent catered for our group of 50 people with excellent service every step of the way. They accommodated vegan & gluten free diners with delicious food! The Shiitake mushrooms were cooked so well some of the group couldn't believe they were mushrooms & not chicken. Garlic potatoes of course are a fan favourite, I will be stopping by for my personal lunches as well!

The rue crescent store used to be good like few months ago. I bought chicken shawarma sandwich today. It was all new people working there. The sandwich was soggy. Potatoes were bit raw & cold.

There's nothing in the world quite like a Boustan chicken pita wrap. I went here as a Concordia student in the early 2010s. Been going for over a decade now. Food never disappoints, & somehow grows on you over time. Highly recommended!

Stopped here for a dinner take out based on review & I was not disappointed! Chicken shawarma platter with potatoes & garlic sauce was on point. Chicken was tender & delicious.
