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 the crispy mixed shawarma bowl & it was solid overall. The chicken & beef had good flavor with some crispy bits, the potatoes were filling, & the sauces were generous & creamy. The bowl is definitely meat-&-carb forward, so it can feel a bit heavy, but everything tastes good together once mixed. A reliable choice when you want something filling & comforting.
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
I have been visiting the place over the years never disappointed me once, love Boustan!!!
Will definitely recommend, always happy with this place😍🥰
These Potatoes with garlic sauce are the best in this entire world 🌎 😄
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.
Absolutely hit the spot at 2 am. So good. I got the falafel wrap & the potatoes with garlic sauce.
Le personnel était antipathique & je n'ai quasiment rien eu dans mon pita ( un peu de viande, quasi pas de garniture ou de sauce). Le tout était vraiment fade & sec ... vu le prix c'est pas fou
I like the seating of this restaurant. Although there's air con but the restaurant is completely open to the side walk. There are no windows. It's like sitting in the outside enjoying the fresh air & watch the cars & people going by. It's a popular place. Crowded. The souvlaki combo is $20 tax included. Portion is generous. Fried potatoes are crispy. Rice & meats are tasty. They put all the sauce you requested in the bowl. But we did go back to ask for some garlic sauce to dip my pita bread. The staff are accommodating. I like this better than souvlaki bar. I'll return.
The food is so fresh & delicious! 🤤 It's halal too. A variety of meats & it healthy option. The white sauce is awesome.🥰🥰
Boustan is a delightful gem for lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine. Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, this restaurant delivers an authentic & flavorful experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. The menu is diverse, offering a wide array of dishes that cater to both meat lovers & vegetarians alike. I started with the Vegan Shawarma plate, & it did not disappoint. The veggies were fresh, crunchy, perfectly spiced, & accompanied by fluffy rice, fresh salad, & creamy garlic sauce that added a perfect tang. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave with a satisfied appetite. The Falafel Saj wrap was another highlight. Crispy on the outside & moist on the inside, the falafel was complemented by fresh vegetables & a drizzle of tahini sauce, all wrapped in a soft, warm saj. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a vegetarian option. One of Boustan's standout features is its dedication to freshness. Each bite tasted as though the ingredients had just been picked & prepared with care. The service was also top-notch; the staff were friendly, attentive, & more than willing to make recommendations based on your preferences. Overall, Boustan provides a memorable dining experience with its delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, & excellent service. Whether you're a longtime fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or trying it for the first time, Boustan is sure to impress.
This time, food was indescribable. Both tabboule & fatouch had no sauces, very dry, just a bunch of veggies put together. Tabboule had turnips & bread, a premiere for tabboule. Very disappointed.
The food was great, the avocado salad was superb. The potatoes & garlic sauce splendid. Highly recommended.
Amazing shawarma. Lots of sauce choices. The fries were so tasty & crispy. Big portions. I enjoyed the baklava as well! The meat could use a bit more fat.
The potato with garlic sauce was excellent. It tasted very delicious & the potatoes had a sweet taste. We ordered a medium size & it was enough for two people.
Asked for the vegan plate & it was better than ever ! The staff made sure that everything was vegan, asked if I wanted the vegan sauce, they repeated the word vegan at least 10 times🤣 So I was really confident !! Portion was really big too, & the vegan chicken was perfectly cooked. I really LOVE that vegan option:)
The garlic sauce is really really good with everything. I got the standard sized mixed (beef & chicken) bowl & it’s so delicious - the portion is big enough for 2 people as a post-concert meal at midnight. Probably the best shawarma I’ve ever had, the tabouleh & potatoes were exceptional & the meat was properly seasoned. Wish I was in Montreal longer so I could eat more 😅
