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.

This is the worse shawarma of my life. Besides, i ordered a mixte shawarma & it only had chicken. it was only full of salad & like only 2 pieces of chicken. There are a lot of more restaurants better than this one!!

It would be a 5 star if they got the order right every time. Great Lebanese food, it's nearly as good as before Boustan became a chain. Located perfectly in downtown Montreal this place is great for a quick filling delicious meal. A bit on the pricey side considering but worth it flavor wise.

Make sure to get the garlic sauce with your potatoes, it's great!

I ordered a beef shawarma & received it with cold beef.After informing the staff, they replaced it, but the second sandwich was also cold.
It was clear the meat came from a container rather than being freshly shaved from the shawarma skewer.
Very disappointing experience. I won't be returning.
