Favorite Boustan in Montreal
Garlic potatoes are sinfully good
Matt
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.

Always a great time here. Love their vegetarian pita sandwiches + garlic sauce 🤤
Staff is always super sweet.

Delicious spot for a quick casual bite. Love that they toasted the outside for an extra Layer of texture. The potato's with the garlic sauce are out of this world! My only qualm while dining in is that ventilation is not great. It gets quite Smokey inside so my eyes started to itch & water. The food is worth it!

Not a great place to dine in. But tasty shawarma & potatoes with garlic sauce.
Karim
Amazing place. Friendly staff. Vegan (not veggie) shawarma is soo good with some extra garlic sauce. Potatoes with garlic is also really good.

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 🥰

Friendly service & clearly displayed menu options. Quick service & ample portions. End of day visit found meat options quite dry, garlic sauce very mayo forward

This is an institution in Montreal & has been around forever, so I figured I had to try it. I got the mixed shawarma pita with the garlic potatoes. It was pretty good, but definitely not anywhere near the best I've ever had. The potatoes were old & pretty dry, the only thing that saved them was the garlic mayo, which was super good, extremely garlicky. It was so good I added it to the shawarma too, because it was a bit dry. It's a small dingy kind of partially underground eatery with a bit of seating outside, nothing special. I would hope there are better shawarma places in Montreal.

So glad the Original is still here. Made a stop specifically for this on my way home to Toronto & it did not disappoint! That Garlic Sauce is still as good as I remembered!

I've been multiple times, & I love their food & service. It's delicious, & the potatoes are sweet & flavorful. Their garlic aïoli is stellar with a good amount of garlic in there. & their sauces are also great.

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!

Best Shawarma in town👌🏻I also recommend fries with garlic sauce with it! Delicious! The only thing I can complain about is the ventilation of the restaurant..

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.
