Came in during the lunch rush and was blown away by how smoothly everything ran. A huge shoutout to Tarim, who was working the counter incredibly friendly, got my order right without me having to repeat myself, and had my shawarma pita ready in no time. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that energy makes the whole experience so much better. The food itself was delicious as always the chicken shawarma was juicy and well-seasoned, and the garlic sauce is simply unmatched. But honestly, it's the people like Tarim who turn a good meal into a great one. Will definitely be back, and I hope he's working next time!

I’m really disappointed with my experience here. The chicken shawarma was not good at all , there were way more vegetables and sauce than chicken. I could barely taste the chicken, which is honestly the main reason I ordered it. The service made things even worse. The cashier was extremely rude and spoke in a very aggressive way, which made me really uncomfortable. It felt like he was trying to start an argument instead of helping a customer. On top of that, the restaurant was not clean. The tables were dirty and didn’t seem to be maintained properly. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Review: Boustan – A Culinary "Sure, Why Not?"If you’ve ever found yourself wandering downtown Montreal at 3:00 AM wondering, "What’s the most efficient way to ensure I smell like garlic for the next three business days?" Boustan is your North Star.It’s the restaurant equivalent of a participation trophy: it’s there, it’s functional, and it technically meets the definition of food. Here’s the breakdown of my latest visit to this pillar of "it’ll do. "The AtmosphereThe decor can best be described as "Industrial Fluorescent." It’s the kind of lighting that makes you realize every mistake you’ve made in your life since 2014. The seating is ergonomically designed to ensure you don’t stay a second longer than necessary, which is helpful, because the soundtrack is usually the rhythmic thwack-thwack-thwack of a dull knife hitting a cutting board and a fridge humming in a minor key. The Culinary "Highlights"The Shawarma: I opted for the classic chicken. The meat had that signature texture—somewhere between "succulent" and "I’ve been rotating on this spit since the Dionne quintuplets were born. "The Garlic Sauce (Toum): Boustan doesn’t use garlic sauce as a condiment; they use it as a structural sealant. It’s potent enough to peel paint off a car, but honestly, it’s the only thing providing flavor to the cardboard-adjacent pita. The Potatoes: Ah, the legendary Boustan potatoes. They were lukewarm, slightly soggy, and seasoned with enough salt to make a cardiologist weep. They’re like French fries that gave up on their dreams. The Verdict Category RatingNotes Flavor5/10 Tastes mainly of "White Sauce. "Speed9/10 They’ll have your wrap ready before you’ve even finished regretting it. Ambience2/10 Great if you enjoy the "Interrogation Room" aesthetic. Value7/10 It's cheaper than therapy, but the long-term effects are similar. Final Thoughts: Boustan isn't a destination; it's a consequence. It’s the place you go when every other option involves effort, or when your taste buds have entered a temporary state of hibernation. It is consistently, aggressively... fine.

Really friendly staff. Personally, this is my favorite shawarma that I've had in the city. The coleslaw on a shawarma is a nice touch - adds a nice crunch/texture.
