Review Summary

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.

Well deserved, tasty, reasonably priced. Wasn't expecting to enjoy my lunch so much. Clean & healthy too. Served with a smile too 😊

Overall , the experience wasn't bad for the price. The portions were actually quite generous, & the food itself was tasty. They did mix up our order; giving us a chicken sandwich & meat bowl instead of a chicken bowl & meat sandwich, but honestly, no complaints there since both were still good.

One downside, though, was the strong smell of burnt oil in the restaurant, which was pretty unpleasant. Also, the place didn't seem to have proper air conditioning, which made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable.

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! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 .
