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.

The food was very bad, I ordered a shawarma de boeuf bol with an avocado salad, the salad As extremely cold, the meal was dry & the boulgour base As undercooked, this was my first time trying Boustan, I don't know if this food quality is the same in other locations but they need to fix this ASAP.
I don't think I will be coming back any time soon.

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.

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.

Food is very good when fresh, fast service.

Edit. I'm changing my review to a 1 star.
I used to really like Boustan, but the quality has gone downhill a lot. My recent chicken wrap was way smaller than what I remember, & there was barely any chicken in it. mostly just cabbage & filler. The chicken pieces that were there were dry & didn't taste fresh. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon
