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.
Best location I've ever been to. Very generous portions, the employee even walked to our table to give us an extra pita when he noticed my girlfriend & I sharing one meal. Great food & great service!
Wow j'ai commandé un shawarma mix poulet & boeuf avec un Pepsi c'était vraiment délicieux & mon grand frère a pris shawarma boeuf avec un Pepsi diète & il a lui aussi aimé délicieux restaurant
The biggie at the cash registers lack of professionalism is concerning. Saw him sneaking meat off the brochet with unwashed chubby hands. Please take the matter into consideration. Feed or fire your staff if necessary, he seemed rather hungry & concerned with the chicken instead of the customers… This large bearded man was more invested attempting to get young girls attention rather than taking their orders. Hungry for food & women at the same time is not okay. Should not be employed. Heard staff calling him Wallel, something like that, hopefully this helps.
