I arrived in Montreal late afternoon on a Monday which is not the easiest time to find food anywhere but at fast food establishment. I ordered a mixed shawarma wrap, tabouleh salad & a side of hummus. Everything was pretty tasty & served quickly. The tabouleh was different than I've had before, mostly parsley, barely any bulgar but it was very fresh & tasty. The meat on the shawarma was juicy & tasty. I would visit this chain again for a quick meal.

So far the best Boustan I've eaten at. Really tasty, generous portions. I've eaten here a few times before & it never disappoints. Really quick service too.

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.

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.
