While the food is frequently described as delicious, fresh, and a great value, experiences can vary significantly across different locations.

However, some customers have reported inconsistencies regarding food temperature, portion sizes, and cleanliness, alongside occasional complaints about rude service or negative interactions.

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.

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.

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 😅
