This is the original Boustan location, & even though it's been modernized, it still serves the best food. There's great flavour, it's fresh & good portion size. I got the regular shawarma bowl & it was delicious. Potatoes & rice are a classic that other locations just always miss. It's just sad to see it so empty on a Friday night at 11pm. Back in the days, there was always a line up. But still great place!

Next level! You already know a place is fire if I take a bite before I take the picture! Potatoes super crispy & fresh. All kinds of wonderful flavors. Large portions at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

First time visiting Montreal & spent the whole day exploring the city-fun but definitely exhausting. I stopped by this place for a quick bite & ordered a shawarma wrap & some chicken on fries (wedges). The service was super kind & fast, which I really appreciated after a long day.

But the real highlight? The food. Absolutely out of this world. Flavorful, fresh, & perfectly satisfying. If I didn't live so far away, I'd be a regular here. Honestly, I might just come back to Montreal just to eat here again. That's how good it was!
