My favourite shawarma place. I met the staff doing Uber and DoorDash. They let me sample the food and now I crave it all the time. Honestly, some of the nicest people I've ever met. Best tabouleh salad I've ever had from a restaurant! I love the Stan bowls. I usually get half rice, half potatoes, tabouleh and whatever protein I'm craving that day. Well worth the extra $1 for both garlic sauce and hummus. Can't recommend this place enough.

I got a chicken skewer bowl with rice and it was 80% potatoes. Really disappointed in the proportions and a lot of these reviews have to be lying because the chicken was not fresh and gave me a horrible stomachache. Especially for those outlandish prices compared to other fast food chains I expected A LOT better.

Tried their vegetarian baked pita options. Food was okay but took a star out as service was super slow in spite of the fact that there was no one in the shop

October 19, 2024

Ordered an uber eats delivery. The store is 5 mins from my place. The garlic potato and the oven baked mixed pita was cold. It was certainly not freshly made. Will not recommend this place. Highly disappointed

Boustan is an absolute gem! I make it a point to visit every time I’m in Montreal, and I was thrilled to hear that they’ve expanded to the GTA. The food quality is consistently amazing, and the flavors are authentic and unbeatable. If you're craving real shawarma, this is the place to go—none of that fake Toronto shawarma here! 😏 Trust me, once you try Boustan, you’ll be hooked. I wasn’t asked to write this review, but I had to because anyone who hasn’t experienced Boustan is seriously missing out. Montreal folks already know what’s up—now it’s time for the GTA to catch on! Don’t wait—go try it and thank me later!

Delicious Lebanese food in Oakville. I had the standard bowl of chicken shawarma with mix of rice and burgul, fattoush salad, with hummus and garlic, sauces, and pita bread. My partner had the beef Shawarma with mix of rice and potato, fatouch salad and harissa souce. We loved the food fresh, and delicious. My only comment is that fattouche doesn’t usually have spinach the way it’s cooked in the Middle East. Otherwise the food portion is good, reasonably priced, good customer service. We will definitely be back!

Ordered The beef shwarma and the chicken shwarma as well as the garlic potato's. Not a single part of this meal was a disappointment! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was nice and calm. All of our questions were answered, and we were given recommendations and everything was explained to us perfectly! The food also doesn't sit heavy in your stomach! Amazing first time experience all around! Can't wait to come back! Even if it's just for the potatoes!

Don t go to Shelby s, go here! Everything tastes better, the daily deals won t break the bank, the only shawarma that my wife eats. I like the mixed saj bowl with everything, and get those potatoes!!! Best thing ever! The people behind the counter answer any question and are always loud to yell your order is ready with a smile! Parking: Rush hour parking is busy but park in the beer store arts school area on the west side and you ll be fine.

To the owners of Boustan! I wanted to give you benefit of the doubt for the shawarma and falafel and you guys failed! Whomevered you hired in your store in Oakville had no idea how the shawarma and falafels are prepared! I threw my sandwiches in the garbage the first bite! I am usually not harsh in my food reviews, but this was REALLY bad!

Taking my time out to write this review and I hope the owner make changes after reading this. Food: I am trying this for the second time, it wasnt good for what I paid. I ordered the chicken with rice bowl. It was very less chicken SPRINKLED on top. The SPRINKLED Chicken was dry and smelly, not fresh at all. Coleslaw was cabbage pieces with no taste watery dressing squirted on top. It was not good at all. I could not finish the bowl, this is not right. Service: I understand the owner hiring international students and new comers, its good and I appreciate it. However they need to be well trained before you put them on the line. They need serious training on how to give a better customer service and make customers visits pleasant. Their answer to everything I asked for was No we cant we arent allowed by the manager etc. Charging for every little thing or alterations is outrageous. Im sure people might have had better experience but Im just being honest about how I felt. Very disappointing experience and I would not want to come here again.

I usually go to Boustan in Montreal. I was very disappointed at the quantity at this location. The bowl is 60-70% what I get in Montreal. They do not have all the sauces either. Looks like they need intense training from the franchise. Update: I emailed the owner as per their request and I received no reply. They were just trying to save face, but not really professionals... Update: I emailed the support as per the owners response and they did not reply. They seem to just want to save face online but they do not seem to really care.

Fabulous little spot. Kids love the chicken and rice kids meals. Recently tried two party platters: mixed shawarma and mix saj - delicious and a great deal plus they had it ready in like 25 minute. We fed 5 adults and three kids on the first platter ($79) and had the second entire platter worth of food left over (we ate for two more days .). Highly recommend if you need a quick dinner for a group gathering.

Horrible experience and food, I would not even give 0 stars to this restaurant, the food is half of what competition would serve plus not edible in my opinion, the staff has 0 customer service skills and absolutely no manners and no professionalism and lacks basic skills, will never try boustan ever again anywhere. Trust shelbys not too far is wayyy better option.

I went to Boustan for their $4.99 special for shwarma pitas. I had the chicken pita and it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was tender. They added just the right amount of sauce. The toasted flavour of the pita was the crowning touch. My family agreed the beef pitas and mixed chicken/beef pitas were also delicious. The customer service was excellent. The lady who took my order gave me a free sample of the garlic potatoes, which were absolutely delectable. The order was a little slow to come out, but this may have been due to the number of people coming for the $4.99 special. It was well worth the wait. I saw on the menu they have a $12.99 vegetarian offering. I must go back to try that one, too. This location is only 7 months old. The interior was sparkling clean and the decor was pleasant. 5/5 Recommended

Decided to order delivery from this place. Didnt order much since its our first time trying this restaurant. And Im glad we didnt order much. I dont know if its because of the Uber promotional offer or thats their usual portion sizes but it was really sad. The beef shawarma was dry with mostly cabbage in it. Not much garlic sauce, meat or anything else. And one of the shawarma, the meat pieces were very chewy and not edible. Wont be ordering from this place again.

February 22, 2024

I rate this establishment a 1/10. I have given it two chances and I have been severely disappointed both times. They are very chintzy on ingredients and especially chintzy when it comes to protein. Compared to the competition, their quality and quantity of food is lacking for the price they are charging. Their staff is also rude/lazy and not attentive. I will never dine here again.

I have to say this place completely blew my mind. I never dined in, but I always get it from Uber eats. I ve tried almost everything on the menu and order almost weekly. I got the whole office now ordering too. Their portions are very generous. Their prices are very fair. This is not your typical Syrian Shawarma it s Lebanese style. The ingredients are very fresh and the sandwiches are not greasy the only menu item that might need some minor improvement is the kebbe. But I would recommend this place to everyone. Absolutely delicious. And I hope that they will offer soup as a standalone option on Uber Eats in the future because it s amazing

I was excited to try this restaurant after going to it regularly in Ottawa and Montreal. I found that the portions in the Stan bowl (their largest size) at this location were lacking, mainly with the rice and potatoes. My friend got the junior bowl, and the junior bowl had similar amounts to the Stan bowl, despite the price difference. I don t see the point in skimping on the cheapest part of the bowl, and I can tell that the restaurant has some startup pains. It s a little disappointing as Ottawa and Montreal are known for their shawarma quality and portions, and I was expecting the same at this chain. I will likely still give this restaurant another shot in the coming days and I will update my review again then.

Happy to have boustan in Oakville. However, the portions is the smallest portions I ve ever received in my entire life for any pita. I ve eaten at Boustan since it s original location on crescent, the portions were much bigger at any other boustan locations including both locations in north York. It s kind of sad that even the veggies is majorly lacking as you can see in my pictures. Hope they adjust their portions like every other locations because I would rather go elsewhere.

I ordered through Ubereats and it was the worst food I could order for my family! The rice was not fresh, the salad was just potatoes no Fatoush salad and only some bits of shawarama! The quality of the meat was bad as well! The shawarma I ordered was filled with cabbage and little meat! When we called the manager to point out the low quality he was rude and asked us what he should do..obviously no accountability which goes to show why this place is what it is!

I tried the new place on its second week of opening. Everything was great. Tried tonight for supper, 3 bowls, a chicken beef and falafel. The most awful food. I was shocked knowing the chain. 1. POTATOES were soggy, over cooked, may have sat around for a while. No garlic taste. 2. FALAFELS were over fried, very dark. Both 1 and 2 seemed to have been cooked in oil that wasnt fresh. 3. TABOULEH wasnt desirable. I bring this all to the district manager, and head office, as I believe you have a reputation to look after and you are better than this. ONE CHICKEN SKEWER?

Tasty food, freshly prepared, generous portions. Have tried several salad bowl combos and nothing has been disappointing. Even tried their recommended garlic potatoes and happily downed them all...even though I am not a huge fan of potatoes. I like the optional sauces and since I am fan of hot and spicy the Harisa fits the bill perfectly. I have the pleasant memory of eating amazing Fusion food in Byblos, the ancient Harbour in Lebanon, so this restaurant kindles the memories. Vegetarian options: the falafel tasted like the genuine thing not something from a box

I was shopping around in the neighborhood and found a new joint with great Lebanese food with different varieties. I can say one thing for sure, they are way above the bar and set a new heights with tastes and great recipes. Really loved it . We could really use a great franchise like this in TBay

Probably the best shawarma place in Oakville. Lived in Montreal for a while so already loved the Boustan franchise, but this place does it better! The food quality and the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the great services makes for a great quick dining experience.

Been Boustan customer for last 10 years or so. Went to almost dozen different branches of Boustan Restaurant. But this new branch in Oakville is simply a disaster one. Don t know why people have given 5 stars, probably they were not to different other Boustan branches in Montreal. The taste and freshness of food is way way below par. Ordered food for the guests and went there to pick delivery. There was no other customer except us. None of the guests finished their food and left some. Potatoes, sauces and salad doesn t feel fresh. Quantity of sauces in chicken box is almost half as given in Montreal branches. Overall our experience is a disaster. The 5 star reviews and lack of customers in the branch doesn t match. We want this branch to be a successful venture in Oakville and for this the management has to think about the taste and freshness of the food. Otherwise this branch will only be successful in getting 5 star reviews instead of repeated customers.

Extremely kind staff and clean location. I really wanted to like it, but the kids kafta was burnt and some spots and raw in others. Fries were so minimal for the price range. Food

Certainly! Heres a 5-star rating for Bouston Oakville: I had an exceptional experience at Bouston Oakville! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every detail of our dining experience was perfect. The menu offered a fantastic variety of delicious dishes, and the food was prepared to perfection. I particularly loved the falafel bowl, vegan wrap and how can I forget the tempting potatoes and their garlic sauce. The ambiance was charming, making it a perfect spot for a special evening or a casual get-together. I cant wait to return to Bouston Oakville and savor their culinary delights again! Vegetarian options: Vegan and Vegetarian options, that too super tasty!

This location is just as good as the locations in Montreal. The potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The garlic sauce has a strong garlic flavour, but still does not conpletely over power the shawarma or potatoes. The pita beef shawarma and pita chicken shawarma have the perfect pita to filling ratio. While the chicken is not dry, the beef was a little dry but the overall flavours of both are well above what you can get at most chain shawarma restaurants in the GTA. Overall, Boustan is one of the top chain shawarma restaurants in the GTA! Parking: Strip mall with plenty of parking

Great quality food at reasonable prices, especially if you go for their daily deals. Staff there ensured that my order was correct by triple checking, however I m not sure how this would work at busier times. Overall I thoroughly enjoy these pitas, and their garlic potatoes. Beef is particular good, as it is tender, not chewy, and their chicken is also great. If you like spice, make sure to get the harissa (hot sauce), as it has just the right amount of heat and complements the flavour of the food well! It s important to note that the takeout menu they give you at the restaurant has the online ordering (3rd party delivery) prices, and is higher than the actual in-store pricing.

Just a few notes. The food quality is not bad but to me it is below expectations. The employees are far from the culture of that food and they don t look that they have enough experience, so when we ordered, they kept asking us to repeat what we said. I don t think the management is efficient in choosing the people who work there or even to run the business in a professional way. Even the door sign say OPEN in the middle of the night while they are closed. It needs a lot of work, otherwise, I belive it is closing soon.

We discovered Boustan on a recent trip to Montreal. It is wonderful, probably our favorite quick service restaurant right now. Thankfully theres on in Oakville and its just as good as the ones in Montreal. We love their mixed Shawarma Bowls. Meat is very nice, potatoes are great and the cabbage salad with humus and garlic sauces perfectly compliment the rest of the bowl. I hope they open one in Burlington or Hamilton so I can frequent it more often.

Boustan in Oakville is a culinary gem! I recently indulged in their mixed shawarma, and it was an explosion of flavors in every bite. The tender, perfectly seasoned meat combined with their secret sauces is a match made in food heaven. And lets not forget the side of crispy potatoes they were the ideal complement to the shawarma. The staff here is friendly, and the ambiance is cozy. If youre in Oakville and craving Middle Eastern cuisine, Boustan is the place to be

Every visit keeps gets better! Vegetarian options: Delicious salads can be made vegetarian or vegan. Plenty of options for anyone with these preferences! Dietary restrictions: Options for everyone! Delicious options for all diets, meat eaters and vegans alike Parking: Tons of parking in front and through the plaza! Kid-friendliness: Family friendly!

My first time in this restaurant and was shocked to see the way the person who was making the pitas skimping on the toppings especially tomatoes they are chopped on tiny little pieces. The lady who took the order never told me some of the topping were an extra charge and they were literally giving me skins of eggplants. I ordered chicken shawarmas, the taste was good; however, I got the thinnest chicken shawarma I ever had... Disappointed!

I ve been to the Boustan in Montreal and was expecting the same experience here but it s not the same As a Lebanese person my expectations are a little high for Lebanese food.

Food and Service was good but lost two stars for me on the price.

This an Uber Eats review. I did eat at the restaurant before and they definitely put more effort if ordering from them directly. This time I had no choice, I had to order lunch for my kids. They sent the wrong order first. I reordered, and the food was just not good, I arrived home while my kids were eating, they were not happy although they asked for Boustan as they had it before in the restaurant and liked it. I also ordered saj bread and they used pita. Definitely not going back. There are better and more consistent options in Oakville.
