Review Summary

Boustan gets high marks for flavorful fresh food and generous portions at a good price, with shawarma, garlic potatoes, falafel and veggie pita bowls often singled out as standout items and the garlic sauce described as addictive. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly, fast and welcoming, contributing to a homey feel and a dependable experience for quick lunches or late nights out. Many reviewers note convenient locations and consistent quality across visits, with gluten free options and vegetarian choices well received. Some critiques include occasional order mix ups, a burnt oil smell and warm dining areas with limited air conditioning, and concerns around food safety standards. Overall Boustan is described as one of the best in Montreal and in some cases the top Boustan, making it a must try for visitors to the city.

Wonderful experience with Adil, order a 773$ Corporate Event & the food was delivered in a quick time. Food & experience was great. Will definitely order for future events.

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!

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!

Boustan is hands down my favorite shawarma spot! The food is consistently delicious, affordable, & prepared quickly, making it a great go-to for a satisfying meal. The staff is always friendly & welcoming, even during busy times, & they work efficiently to get your order ready. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or looking for something tasty & filling, Boustan never disappoints! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 .

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

The OG Boustan. Prices have gone up (like with everything) but this place is still the best Lebanese quick food in town.

Great value for money shawarmas. The potatoes are very good. The place isn't fancy. It feels run down. Service is quick & attentive.
