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.

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)
