The menu highlights regional flavors such as mastic, sahlab, and premium pistachio, which define its authentic culinary identity. Every batch emphasizes high-quality ingredients sourced to maintain a distinct profile that balances sweetness with rich dairy foundations.

Patrons encounter a specialized array of sweets featuring honey, aromatic nuts, and floral essences that reflect classic confectionery traditions. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for those seeking genuine frozen treats and meticulously prepared desserts that deviate from standard commercial offerings by prioritizing technical precision and flavor intensity in every scoop.

Bouza Carrefour Laval was really nice! We tried the ashta pistachio & the one with baklava pieces-both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich & authentic, & everything tasted very fresh. Highly recommended, especially if you love Middle Eastern desserts.

Nice staff, good ice cream, a bit pricey.

The place is hidden on the side of the plaza, but trust in Google Maps & it'll get you there.

Tried the'Bouza with Madlouka' & it was very good. It is ashta ice cream topped with a layer of madlouka dough (sweet pistachio dough). It has just the right amount of sweetness to it.

The ice cream is expensive ($20/500g), but the dish I tried will get me to come back & try another specialty of theirs.

I enjoyed it.

I would say this is the tastiest ice cream shop in Ontario & Quebec who services sorbet flavours, & I tried a lot! My most favourite is the Ashta with pistachio, the flavours are rich & we will definitely visit them again.

This syrian ice cream is out of this world! I shared a large with my husband & we quickly regretted it & wanted to come back for more, but it was late & we had already left. It's probably the best of its kind that I've had in years, even compared to the middle east. You can really taste the flavour of the "ashta" (cream) - rich & pure, flavoured with some mastic & pistachios... it was insanely good! I can't wait to have it again! I can't comment on the atmosphere because it was late winter evening on a Sunday, but I reckon they'd have a nice vibe in the summer. Service was lovely, the lady & her son were very welcoming, accommodating, & generous. Can't wait to go back! Probably tonight :)
