Review Summary

Boustan is widely regarded as a staple in Montreal for quick, flavorful Lebanese cuisine, with many patrons praising the taste of the shawarma wraps, bowls, and their signature garlic potatoes. While the food is frequently described as delicious, fresh, and a great value, experiences can vary significantly across different locations. Many reviewers highlight the friendly and efficient nature of the staff, noting that their welcoming attitude enhances the dining experience, especially during late-night visits. However, some customers have reported inconsistencies regarding food temperature, portion sizes, and cleanliness, alongside occasional complaints about rude service or negative interactions. Overall, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking a filling, comforting meal in an casual environment, though some guests suggest that service and sanitation standards could be more uniform across the chain.

J'ai eu ma coupe gratuite du 17juillet. La nourriture est pas mal du tout au goût. Mais j'ai donné 4 étoiles car j'ai écrasé du sable en mangeant malheureusement & trop peu de sauce dans mon sandwich. Sinon c'est bien.

Get the creation shawarma. It's a nice mix of the meat & vegetables - I never know eggplant in shawarma would be so damn good! We have a few criticisms for this place - there wasn't enough meat in the sandwich, there wasn't enough spicy sauce, & they didn't grill it long enough (half was warm, half was cold). However, since it was only 5 bucks, it's hard not to give such a delicious sandwich 5 stars. Worth a try!

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.

Je prends d'habitude des trios à emporter ici. Aujourd'hui j'ai essayé leur nouveau menu déjeuner en prenant le sandwich kafta & celui BLT boeuf. Je dois dire que les deux étaient délicieux, quoique j'ai un léger penchant pour celui au kafta. Le service était aussi très rapide & agréable. & le fait qu'ils laissent la fenêtre ouverte à cette période de l'année est un plus pour quoi, comme j'aime respire l'air frais du matin. Avec un bon café chaud, il n'y a pas mieux! Une de mes meilleures expériences Boustan à Montréal à date, certainement.

They didn't even bother to heat up the falafel balls before making the sandwich. Icy cold falafels in a warm pita is just gross
