DONT EAT HERE!!
Rude, unprofessional & cheap.
I ordered a VEGAN bowl & they served me chopped up dead animal body parts...they actually gave me meat.
I haven't eaten meat in years.
They wouldn't let me even pick if I wanted rice or potatoes, which salad.
They just put whatever they wanted.
Would never go back to this place.
Food is not fresh.
Restaurant isn't clean.
No idea how they can possibly pass a health inspection & not get closed down...
Really awful super not impressed.

Newest edit: I came back recently (one or two years later?) for the shiitake faux shawarma wrap. It was hot, full of ingredients & the right amount of sauce. I still don't think they have water in cups but I didn't bother to ask. I'm bringing my rating back to 5 for the food. Didn't take a picture, sorry
So I would have given 5 stars because the first 2 times I had the vegan pita it was incredible but this time it was just bland & the next morning I had food poisoning even though I ate the food right away. I can't say for sure if it's from this because there's a lot of things it could have been but I'm suspicious now after reading other reviews about their food safety. The vegan meat was cold & resulted in the wrap tasting unexciting. they also didn't have cups for a glass of water which makes me wonder, what's their tap water quality like if they don't want to serve it & how does the resto function without clean tap water ? But back to the main issue: why is it such an issue for a fast food place to get paper cups especially when charging so much for food? Even subway has them. I had to eat food while thirsty . The soup was good but generic . For $18 it didn't feel worth it this time especially because I took it to go so I ate on a bench lol . But on the bright side they have wooden spoons & bagasse & paper packaging for the most part so it's pretty eco friendly as a to go snack. If they had heated the vegan meat more I probably would have given 5 stars despite the water issue .. too bad but I have to be honest. The portion of vegan meat also seemed a bit smaller this time
The food is top notch & halal. The vegan bowl was just as tasty as the meat
Boustan is a delightful gem for lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine. Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, this restaurant delivers an authentic & flavorful experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. The menu is diverse, offering a wide array of dishes that cater to both meat lovers & vegetarians alike. I started with the Vegan Shawarma plate, & it did not disappoint. The veggies were fresh, crunchy, perfectly spiced, & accompanied by fluffy rice, fresh salad, & creamy garlic sauce that added a perfect tang. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave with a satisfied appetite. The Falafel Saj wrap was another highlight. Crispy on the outside & moist on the inside, the falafel was complemented by fresh vegetables & a drizzle of tahini sauce, all wrapped in a soft, warm saj. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a vegetarian option. One of Boustan's standout features is its dedication to freshness. Each bite tasted as though the ingredients had just been picked & prepared with care. The service was also top-notch; the staff were friendly, attentive, & more than willing to make recommendations based on your preferences. Overall, Boustan provides a memorable dining experience with its delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, & excellent service. Whether you're a longtime fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, Boustan is sure to impress.
Asked for the vegan plate & it was better than ever ! The staff made sure that everything was vegan, asked if I wanted the vegan sauce, they repeated the word vegan at least 10 times🤣 So I was really confident !! Portion was really big too, & the vegan chicken was perfectly cooked. I really LOVE that vegan option:)
