The food was very bad, I ordered a shawarma de boeuf bol with an avocado salad, the salad As extremely cold, the meal was dry and the boulgour base As undercooked, this was my first time trying Boustan, I don't know if this food quality is the same in other locations but they need to fix this ASAP. I don't think I will be coming back any time soon.

I arrived in Montreal late afternoon on a Monday which is not the easiest time to find food anywhere but at fast food establishment. I ordered a mixed shawarma wrap, tabouleh salad and a side of hummus. Everything was pretty tasty and served quickly. The tabouleh was different than I’ve had before, mostly parsley, barely any bulgar but it was very fresh and tasty. The meat on the shawarma was juicy and tasty. I would visit this chain again for a quick meal.

DONT EAT HERE!! Rude, unprofessional and cheap. I ordered a VEGAN bowl and they served me chopped up dead animal body parts...they actually gave me meat. I haven't eaten meat in years. They wouldn't let me even pick if I wanted rice or potatoes, which salad. They just put whatever they wanted. Would never go back to this place. Food is not fresh. Restaurant isn't clean. No idea how they can possibly pass a health inspection and not get closed down... Really awful super not impressed. 0 stars?

Food is very good when fresh, fast service. Edit. I'm changing my review to a 1 star. I used to really like Boustan, but the quality has gone downhill a lot. My recent chicken wrap was way smaller than what I remember, and there was barely any chicken in it. mostly just cabbage and filler. The chicken pieces that were there were dry and didn’t taste fresh. I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon

The staff here are so friendly that alone is worth a trip! As a late night find, we wanted some schwarma and although they were so busy the guy made sure to keep us entertained whilst we waited and even give us some potatoes (which by the way are a must try). You are obviously not going to a fine dining experience so not sure why these reviews are expecting that but if you want some good cheap food and to support some hardworking people this is entirely the place!

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

I ordered a beef shawarma and 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.
