Hard-working team & friendly service. The food is almost always very good & consistent. You can tell they care about quality. Definitely deserves 5 stars!
This is the worse shawarma of my life. Besides, i ordered a mixte shawarma & it only had chicken. it was only full of salad & like only 2 pieces of chicken. There are a lot of more restaurants better than this one!!
It would be a 5 star if they got the order right every time. Great Lebanese food, it's nearly as good as before Boustan became a chain. Located perfectly in downtown Montreal this place is great for a quick filling delicious meal. A bit on the pricey side considering but worth it flavor wise.
Make sure to get the garlic sauce with your potatoes, it's great!
I ordered a beef shawarma & received it with cold beef.After informing the staff, they replaced it, but the second sandwich was also cold.
It was clear the meat came from a container rather than being freshly shaved from the shawarma skewer.
Very disappointing experience. I won't be returning.

I ordered the crispy mixed shawarma bowl & it was solid overall. The chicken & beef had good flavor with some crispy bits, the potatoes were filling, & the sauces were generous & creamy. The bowl is definitely meat-&-carb forward, so it can feel a bit heavy, but everything tastes good together once mixed. A reliable choice when you want something filling & comforting.
Got this late night with uber eats & warning others not to waste their money. All food was basically leftovers. Only thing fresh was the salad. The meat was minced because it was all leftover. The potatoes cold & hard. The pilaf was very old & hard & dry. The extra chicken pictured was about 2.5 ounces of nothing. Do not order after 10pm from here.
