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.

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.

We ordered mixed shawarma plates, & they were super fresh & tasted amazing. We forgot to add salad to our plate, so we went back to buy it, & the cashier refused to let us pay for it. Everybody was nice & respectful, so I really don't know what all those complainers are talking about.

Amazing shawarma. Lots of sauce choices. The fries were so tasty & crispy. Big portions. I enjoyed the baklava as well! The meat could use a bit more fat.

Went here while visiting the city from Halifax. It was AMAZINGGGG. AWESOME SHAWARMA. everything was perfect. We got the bowls & spent the rest of the meal talking about how we want to open up a boustan in Halifax. We went Oct 26 & Oct 27 at around midnight. The young man at the cash was super sweet too.

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 😅
