Review Summary

Boustan is a longstanding Montreal Lebanese fast food place where reviews converge on tasty, well seasoned shawarma and comforting bowls, with standout garlic potatoes and often generous sauces. The service is repeatedly praised as friendly and fast, even late at night, though a few visits are marked by busy crowds and occasional order mixups or concerns about freshness and cleanliness. The price can feel high for a quick bite, yet many consider it good value for money and a reliable option for hearty meals, while a minority report disappointing meals or slow service during busy periods.

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.

I had the Monday special, Bol Shawarma Poulet Junior. Portion size was good & price was decent. They also sell Faygo soda from Detroit which was an added plus. Seating area was a little cramped & uncomfortable but overall the food was good & I would return if I'm in the area.

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

Food was amazing! Great that they are open at late hours.
A guy entered the place when i was there & he started yelling at a girl out of nowhere, & the staff kicked him out.
The staff is super friendly & quick.
