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 a longstanding Montreal Lebanese fast food place where reviews converge on tasty, well seasoned shawarma and comforting bowls, with standout garlic potatoes and often generous sauces. The service is repeatedly praised as friendly and fast, even late at night, though a few visits are marked by busy crowds and occasional order mixups or concerns about freshness and cleanliness. The price can feel high for a quick bite, yet many consider it good value for money and a reliable option for hearty meals, while a minority report disappointing meals or slow service during busy periods.
The food was very bad, I ordered a shawarma de boeuf bol with an avocado salad, the salad As extremely cold, the meal was dry & the boulgour base As undercooked, this was my first time trying Boustan, I don't know if this food quality is the same in other locations but they need to fix this ASAP.
I don't think I will be coming back any time soon.

I arrived in Montreal late afternoon on a Monday which is not the easiest time to find food anywhere but at fast food establishment. I ordered a mixed shawarma wrap, tabouleh salad & a side of hummus. Everything was pretty tasty & served quickly. The tabouleh was different than I've had before, mostly parsley, barely any bulgar but it was very fresh & tasty. The meat on the shawarma was juicy & tasty. I would visit this chain again for a quick meal.
Edit. I'm changing my review to a 1 star.
I used to really like Boustan, but the quality has gone downhill a lot. My recent chicken wrap was way smaller than what I remember, & there was barely any chicken in it. mostly just cabbage & filler. The chicken pieces that were there were dry & didn't taste fresh. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon
Viande de mauvaise qualité, avant même de manger le plat shishtaouk je savais par la recuisson que c'etait la viande du jours d'avant de soir. J'ai eu mal au ventre, je vous déconseille de manger là

On nous laisse commander sur l'application, 1h après un mail nous informe que notre commande est annulé sans plus d'informations, l'application affiche la commande comme étant en cours, 0 possibilité de contacter une aide quelconque (j'imagine que je peux dire adieu à mon repas, mon argent & les 11$ de crédit fidélité utilisé) un appel au restaurant m'informe dans un anglais difficilement compréhensible « only take out no delivery » alors pourquoi laisser le monde commander pour annuler 1h plus tard, 3 livreurs se sont déplacés pour rien, un manque de respect pour tout ce monde

The staff here are so friendly that alone is worth a trip! As a late night find, we wanted some schwarma & although they were so busy the guy made sure to keep us entertained whilst we waited & even give us some potatoes (which by the way are a must try). You are obviously not going to a fine dining experience so not sure why these reviews are expecting that but if you want some good cheap food & to support some hardworking people this is entirely the place!
Hard-working team & friendly service. The food is almost always very good & consistent. You can tell they care about quality. Definitely deserves 5 stars!
