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.

Love the shawarma... take the saj bread & not the wrap... the wrap is crumbly. The potatoes with the garlic sauce'toum' ... is divine. It's open 24/7 or till very late at some locations.
