Wonderful experience with Adil, order a 773$ Corporate Event & the food was delivered in a quick time. Food & experience was great. Will definitely order for future events.

This is literally one of the best tasting halal shawermas I've ever had. I asked for a spicy chicken shwarma wrap & it's so 👏🏻 good 👏🏻 & the staff are just the sweetest people with amazing smiles. Wishing them all the best
First time visiting Montreal & spent the whole day exploring the city-fun but definitely exhausting. I stopped by this place for a quick bite & ordered a shawarma wrap & some chicken on fries (wedges). The service was super kind & fast, which I really appreciated after a long day.
But the real highlight? The food. Absolutely out of this world. Flavorful, fresh, & perfectly satisfying. If I didn't live so far away, I'd be a regular here. Honestly, I might just come back to Montreal just to eat here again. That's how good it was!
J'ai tester plusieurs Boustan à Montréal mais celui là c'est vraiment le meilleur. Ils sont vraiment accueillant & sympathique. La nourriture est excellente, la salade est fraîche, les patates sont bien croustillante. Les portions sont généreuses. Le lieux est propre. Le restaurant est bien situé & il y a même une petite terrasse, je le recommande fortement.

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.
I had a great experience at this place! The food was delicious & fresh, & the service was excellent. The Moroccan guy who helped us was super friendly. Definitely recommend & will be coming back!! Thank you
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.
