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!)

We were in Montreal for a 3 day weekend, tried a lot of really good fancy food places. But it was Boustan that knocked our socks off. We got a beef shawarma & the chicken shawarma poutine, OMG. We had the smoked meat poutine at Schwartz's earlier & thought that was good, this chicken one at Boustan blew it away. Absolutely delicious. Probably our favorite thing all weekend. Obviously non traditional, made with seasoned roasted potatoes, we asked for extra garlic sauce, to die for. The beef combo was great too, really good falafel as well. We will be back every time we are in the city.

Food is always good & cheap, & people are always friendly. Went out of my way to get a pita falafel here & will do again.

Falafel: had the falafel wrap at this boustan location. Unfortunately the falafel are pre-fried in batches. so if you are looking for fresh out of the fryer hot crispy falafels, this is not the spot. However, boustan's sauce is delicious & the proportions are right i gotta say. Overall, boustan serves decent quality ingredients, but i wouldn't say it is freshest, nor the friendliest service. I love this Montreal born chain, but this location is not my favourite. I would recommend trying the location by Saint-Laurent metro. I do really appreciate that they offer great vegan options such as the falafel & the meat imitation wrap.

Very good falafel! Such delicious fillings & the pitta is perfectly crispy! The Crescent Street location is a little rough around the edges, but they give good service!

A simple eatery, but very cheap & delicious shawarma & falafel. In no case, do not go to the toilet, otherwise all appetite will disappear =)
