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 🥰

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!
