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.

I have been visiting the place over the years never disappointed me once, love Boustan!!!
Will definitely recommend, always happy with this place😍🥰
These Potatoes with garlic sauce are the best in this entire world 🌎 😄

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.

The new ciruclaire bowl is horrible. The potatoes become soggy, less meat, it's a total mess I will never order boustan again & it sucks because it used to be the best.

Absolutely hit the spot at 2 am. So good. I got the falafel wrap & the potatoes with garlic sauce.
Sam
Best late night & day time food in Montreal Downtown. The workers especially Britesh served us the freshest & tastiest shawarma bowl. Amazing!!! tastiest potatoes & chicken!

Regular customer, the bowls are satiating a bit overpriced though. I would stay away from the fried potatoes as they are greasy compared to other boustan i've been to. One last thing, the old guy preparing orders needs to learn some manners talking to customers & maybe god forbid try to smile once in a while like the rest of the staff.

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.
Hannan
The food was great, the avocado salad was superb. The potatoes & garlic sauce splendid. Highly recommended.
Elham
The potato with garlic sauce was excellent. It tasted very delicious & the potatoes had a sweet taste. We ordered a medium size & it was enough for two people.
Karen
The garlic sauce is really really good with everything. I got the standard sized mixed (beef & chicken) bowl & it’s so delicious - the portion is big enough for 2 people as a post-concert meal at midnight. Probably the best shawarma I’ve ever had, the tabouleh & potatoes were exceptional & the meat was properly seasoned. Wish I was in Montreal longer so I could eat more 😅
