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.

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.

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.

I'm from NY & my coworker asked what's good to eat in Montreal & I told him he must try this place. Every time I go to Montreal, I make sure I eat this at least once a day. The white sauce they put on the potatoes is so good that I asked them if they can give me a big container to take home & I would pay for it. He gave me a Chinese soup container size amount & since I came from NY he didn't even charge me! What a kind staff member.

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
