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.

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.

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

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.

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.
