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.

Super bon service & super bonne qualité ! Les portions sont vraiment généreuses, le repas était chaud & très bien préparé. Franchement, la qualité & la quantité sont au rendez-vous. Je recommande Boustan au crescent à 100 %, c'est devenu un de mes endroits préférés !

It's good. However, this is the second time I get stomach flu after eating there. I`m concerned about food safety standards, they need to be inspected
