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.

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.

Delicious, affordable food. The inside is quite crowded so it can be hard to find a seat during busy periods & the line gets very crowded, but the food is worth it!

I got my favourite veggie pita today & to my great surprise it had nothing to do with the way Boustan used to serve it. This used to be a wonderful sandwich with the little pancake thing, fried cauliflower, eggplant, Boustan potatoes, cabbage…. Today I got the sadest iteration of the OG veggie sandwich with none of the classic ingredients except potato & some really weird mushrooms? Please Boustan fix this situation asap & bring back the real veggie pita. TYSM

Excellent restaurant de shawarma à Montréal ! Tout était délicieux, mais la grande surprise a été le shawarma à la tête de poisson - absolument incroyable & unique ! La viande était tendre, savoureuse, & parfaitement assaisonnée. Le service était rapide & chaleureux, & l'ambiance très accueillante. C'est sans aucun doute le meilleur shawarma que j'ai goûté. Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir !
