Since 1986 Restaurant Boustan, has been serving up the exotic flavors of Lebanon in downtown Montreal. Satisfy your hunger by indulging in our carefully prepared dishes.
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.
Decent shawarma, but at the time, I didn't find it above the rest of decent & passable shawarmas. Portion was average to small. Could've used more meat. Staff was helpful.
This Boustan is a legendary Montreal establishment. Fall in love, watch a fight, sober up, make a friend, any & all are possible in the very same night at this Boustan location. I always get the Shawarma pita wrap but the garlic potatoes are delicious as well if you love garlic.
There's randomly a machine for Bitcoin as well if you're into that.
Windows are open in the summer but they have A/C as well so it's a must on a hot summer day. Please never close.
Large portions, & food was good. But the best part was the service, the team is pretty quick, efficient, & friendly.
I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area.
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.
I don't know about the atmosphere I ordered this to break fast as a born & raised leb BEST bowl I've ever had had to call them & tell them thank you for the flavours just order it
