I just had the simple chicken shawarma pita. Tasty & good value. The potatoes with a garlic sauce was something different & also good.

I usually come to Boustan whenever I don't have enough time to eat during my lunch hour. The taste (especially the shawarma & their garlic potatoes) & the service (the employees are always smiling & friendly) have never disappointed me. Definitely the best place to eat Lebanese food in Montreal!

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!

This Boustan is a legendary Montreal establishment. Fall in love, watch a fight, sober up, make a friend, any & all are possible in the very same night at this Boustan location. I always get the Shawarma pita wrap but the garlic potatoes are delicious as well if you love garlic.
There's randomly a machine for Bitcoin as well if you're into that.
Windows are open in the summer but they have A/C as well so it's a must on a hot summer day. Please never close.

Love the shawarma... take the saj bread & not the wrap... the wrap is crumbly. The potatoes with the garlic sauce'toum' ... is divine. It's open 24/7 or till very late at some locations.

I like the seating of this restaurant. Although there's air con but the restaurant is completely open to the side walk. There are no windows. It's like sitting in the outside enjoying the fresh air & watch the cars & people going by. It's a popular place. Crowded. The souvlaki combo is $20 tax included. Portion is generous. Fried potatoes are crispy. Rice & meats are tasty. They put all the sauce you requested in the bowl. But we did go back to ask for some garlic sauce to dip my pita bread. The staff are accommodating. I like this better than souvlaki bar. I'll return.

Definitely a hit if you want to have some good Shwarma. Chicken is too juicy & well marinated! The garlic potatoes are really good. Must visit in Montreal.

Boustan is a delightful gem for lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine. Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, this restaurant delivers an authentic & flavorful experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. The menu is diverse, offering a wide array of dishes that cater to both meat lovers & vegetarians alike. I started with the Vegan Shawarma plate, & it did not disappoint. The veggies were fresh, crunchy, perfectly spiced, & accompanied by fluffy rice, fresh salad, & creamy garlic sauce that added a perfect tang. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave with a satisfied appetite. The Falafel Saj wrap was another highlight. Crispy on the outside & moist on the inside, the falafel was complemented by fresh vegetables & a drizzle of tahini sauce, all wrapped in a soft, warm saj. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a vegetarian option. One of Boustan's standout features is its dedication to freshness. Each bite tasted as though the ingredients had just been picked & prepared with care. The service was also top-notch; the staff were friendly, attentive, & more than willing to make recommendations based on your preferences. Overall, Boustan provides a memorable dining experience with its delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, & excellent service. Whether you're a longtime fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, Boustan is sure to impress.
