First food stop in Montreal & it was worth it. We had the chicken & beef doner kebab, it was great! Full of flavor, bread was soft but firm so it didn't fall apart. Potato are filling with a wonderful sauce that compliments the salty. Staff is pleasant & inviting!

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.

J'avais vraiment hâte d'essayer les bols pour la première fois & je les ai achetés pour ma mère & moi. Le service était super quand je suis venue chercher ma commande. J'ai commandé sur Uber, où j'ai eu la possibilité de choisir seulement une sauce. On a toutes les deux choisi du houmous, mais les deux bols étaient accompagnés de houmous & de sauce à l'ail. Je déteste la sauce à l'ail ; si le menu indiquait que les bols en avaient, j'aurais jamais commandé. Je suis fatiguée & déçu que mon souper soit ruiné.

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!
