Since 1986 Restaurant Boustan, has been serving up the exotic flavors of Lebanon in downtown Montreal. Satisfy your hunger by indulging in our carefully prepared dishes.
Boustan is widely praised for flavorful shawarma, generous portions, and friendly, attentive service, with many calling it the best shawarma in Montreal and a reliable late-night option in downtown; the garlic potatoes and salads are frequently highlighted as standout, and the menu is described as fresh and satisfying, offering value that keeps diners returning over the years. While the experience is usually positive, some reviews note crowded dining rooms, occasional mixups in orders, and a few concerns about food safety or consistency; there are also comments about changes to the veggie pita and a desire to see the original ingredients restored, as well as recognition of gluten-free adaptations and halal options. Overall Boustan comes across as a welcoming, dependable spot with a strong sense of quality and a loyal following, recommended for a quick, affordable meal and for evenings after drinks, with many considering it a top choice in the city.
Super bon service & super bonne qualité ! Les portions sont vraiment généreuses, le repas était chaud & très bien préparé. Franchement, la qualité & la quantité sont au rendez-vous. Je recommande Boustan au crescent à 100 %, c'est devenu un de mes endroits préférés !

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.
Super service! On me répond en français pour me créer mon sandwich à la perfection. Selon mes goûts, le sourire, tout le long, une belle équipe & un excellent sandwich
Super belle expérience! Je recommande à tous
Mushroom falafel bowl was amazing! Highly recommend. Wish I had found this place sooner during my visit. Vegetarian delight (& the meat eaters were happy too!)
J'ai tester plusieurs Boustan à Montréal mais celui là c'est vraiment le meilleur. Ils sont vraiment accueillant & sympathique. La nourriture est excellente, la salade est fraîche, les patates sont bien croustillante. Les portions sont généreuses. Le lieux est propre. Le restaurant est bien situé & il y a même une petite terrasse, je le recommande fortement.

I had a great experience at this place! The food was delicious & fresh, & the service was excellent. The Moroccan guy who helped us was super friendly. Definitely recommend & will be coming back!! Thank you
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.

Montréal est une superbe ville. Une des plus belle ville du monde. Cette métropole francophone en Amérique du Nord charme beaucoup les touristes & ses propres citoyens. Mais ce qui est encore plus formidable de cette ville c'est le restaurant Libanais Boustan. Wow, juste WOW !🎊 La merveilleuse viande tendres tellement ca fond dans la bouche(en plus cest Halal), les succulents patates à l'ail, le riz délicieux. Sans compter les salades fraîches pour ceux qui ont des régimes strictes, ou ceux qui aimes juste les salades. Juste à en parler, j'ai envie d'aller me chercher un plat shawarma avec une bonne taboulé 🤤 Les employés sont très généreux quand il vous font des plats contrairement à leur compétiteurs où ils remplissent à peine le plats. Un service hors pair Saviez vous que le Boustan sur la rue Crescent c'est le Boustan original. En plus de cela quelques vedettes ont fait leur tour dans ce restaurant, ça c'est très cool. Je recommande même cette endroit pour votre première date. Juste oublié pas votre paquet de gomme. Vous allez vraiment en avoir besoin car vous allez très certainement commandé une sauce à l'ail tellement elle est bonne Allez dans ce restaurant, vous ne serez vraiment pas déçu -Gabriel

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..
There's nothing in the world quite like a Boustan chicken pita wrap. I went here as a Concordia student in the early 2010s. Been going for over a decade now. Food never disappoints, & somehow grows on you over time. Highly recommended!
