Grabbed their beef poutine for lunch and it was great. The service was fast. All their meat options are halal.

One of the worst chicken plates I had ever eaten I went there to eat lebanese food unfortunately not even close

They have shawarmas in Pita or Saj & make your own bowl with meat, vegetables rice. I tried their chicken shawarma in Saj. It was more like a wrap in a delicious thin bread with chicken & loaded vegetables.

October 11, 2024

Terrible! I ordered a bowl and they gave it to me without the meat! And disgusting rice. And no pita when I asked for one and a pita wrap that was for a kids meal size. Terrible experience, will NEVER again order from these THIEVES

July 11, 2024

When it come to service if there is minus I will give minus. We order and we did not know that the restaurant is closing soon. We sit down and eating and we are so shock that the server close the lights while we are eating. We inform her that we are still eating and we will finish and leave right away. And she said we are close and very rudely doesnt want to open the lights. Very very rude people. Didn’t even ask us first or ask us nicely that they are closing soon and if we can finish out meal early but instead close the lights. Even the food is good and the ambiance is clean it become a very bad experience. The worst experience I ever had dine in in the restaurant.

It was my first time here and I was amazed by how big and delicious this bowl is!! I shared this with my husband and both of us were full! The place is clean, but somehow small. They have average prices. Overall, I'm a satisfied customer :)

employees are very nice , but shawarma is not really good the potatoes are perfect ,i love it but the pita is so small , that's why the shawarma is falling. i recommend the company to add Ayram yogurt drink. 2/3 workers Also, i added the restaurant in the google map bc it was invisible.

I am a frequent customer at this outlet and have dined at many other Boustan outlets. This particular location distinguishes itself with exceptional quality, service, and consistent excellence.

Really disappointed in this Boustan. Just entering the place and the main doors window was disgustingly dirty. No one has ever thought of cleaning it? Employees or even the owner enter the place and dont even see that. Portions are cheaper than other Boustans and the food including the RICE, POTATOES and CHICKEN were COLD.

This is the worst boustan I have seen. People who work in this place have to understand that we dont care if you are busy we are paying money for the food so dont rush and treat the food like gravel for us. Everything is bad there. I ordered online, and they say they have Pepsi, and I received water without even telling me, food was cold. Dont go to this place waste of money.

I was in the area and very hungry, Boustan is one of my favourite places to fill my belly with good tasting food. They always have huge portions and I was served by a helpful and patient cashier. I will always stop here for a meal whenever I m done work and in need of a healthy meal

April 23, 2024

I ordered the Byblos bowl because it comes with beets and mushrooms and pilaf rice which I love, but when I received my bowl, there were no beets or mushrooms and no rice!!!!!! I asked the employee if they had forgotten to add these in my bowl and they said those toppings were unavailable! They should have told me this when I ordered and offered a replacement, I am totally dissapointed by this lack of customer service. There were no customers other than me so its not like they were swamped. I purchased a byblos bowl but was given a bowl with salade, potatoes and beef. No rice, no beets, no mushrooms. How ridiculous to not tell me anything and hand me my food in a bag that was not what I had ordered because they ran out of the main ingredients.

March 23, 2024

Tried to steal money by charging more without letting me know. And tried to not give sauce in the shawarma, and upon asking, they ask to charge extra.. Owner please change the guy in charge you have in the afternoon shift. He will make you your business down very soon. Food

March 23, 2024

The employee working on March 1st at 4:57pm was extremely rude and stingy with servings. They attempted to overcharge my friend without justification, but we noticed. Despite requests for a fair portion of what we ordered, they remained uncooperative. These workers are not only lazy but also potentially deceitful. I advise future customers to be cautious or avoid this location altogether.

I ordered Rice with mix platter over the phone. Picked up and came home to eat the supper. I was utter disappointed and I am writing you with displeasure. The Rice was spoiled and it was giving a bad taste and smell. I couldnt eat my supper & went to the restaurant right away with the platter. The girl who served me Camilia was rude and didnt want to accept the food was spoilt. She tried her best to convince me saying the food was in good condition. She never tried to give me a replacement. She called her manager over the phone & said for me to come tomorrow. What am I going to eat tonight ?. She didnt care about my situation. I lost a meal and money. I advice whoever read this , its a horrible place to go, I never advice anyone going there to eat their rotten food. Its BAD BAD BAD. I am surprised to see so many good reviews. Did they really eat their food??? Edit: Met the manager today & he accepted the mistake & got the refund

Very bad service plus the poorly packaged sandwich I ask to redo it I dont want

Revised Review We experienced seemingly a unique situation with an employee and our business has gotten an immediate update from the actual owner and CEO of Boustan and he offered a sincere apology I have accepted to change my review because the respect was appreciated. This business is very serious and are excellent business people with good problem solving skills and we appreciate and will continue to order in the future. We will continue to encourage good local businesses and enjoy good Boustan quality food. Moving forward and best of luck.

Slowest service in the universe

December 23, 2023

I have eaten shawarmas at more than a dozen joints in 4 different countries and Boustan at Saint Laurents shawarma was the worst. Yeah sure their shawarma may be on average a dollar cheaper but that is compensated by the fact that theirs is the smallest shawarma you will ever come across. Not to mention that they skimp on chicken/beef as well. Last but not the least they have got the worst customer service. Avoid at all cost!

Raj was awesome. I lost my daughter s shoe six months ago and he kept it in his tip box asking other employees to not throw it away hoping that I will come back and I got it back today.

Highly priced compared to the Quality, Quantity and service offered. They even charge 0.75 cents for an extra small pita. I spent $21.00 including taxes, tips and extra pita for a beef plate and I was still hungry after finishing it. I dont re-order in this restaurant anymore and I do not recommend it to anybody who wants to eat good.

December 23, 2022

Food was okay nothing more, chicken was good but potatoes were dry and didnt taste so great... the coleslaw portion was very small... good thing I ask for onions otherwise it would be so small... Overall for 17$ including taxes... I feel I have been ripped, the size of the plate was so small .. I felt cheated, I usually go to Adonis and get more for less, the plate here was very small, I was able to finish the whole plate while usually I have left overs for later.. I wanted to try something different today... but no more Boustan at this area for me

Often times at other stores, when I get a pita with my plate, the pita is often stale, but I was pleasantly surprised that the pita was very soft and fresh. I enjoyed my meal! :D It was quite busy even at 1pm. There was a long line, but they worked quickly to serve everyone in a timely manner.

This place is average. Food quality is meh. I didn t find the poutine that great compared to many other restaurants. They use the same number for labeling different items on the menu which can be confusing. The other thing that bothers me, is they ask for 18 to 22% tip for takeout/sit down and they don t even offer free water lol. We spent around $18 a person for fast food level quality. I d recommend eating elsewhere for a nicer dinner.

The food is boustan. Its tasty. I eat here often. However, in starting to question of I will continue because this location is almost always UNDERSTAFFED. The one staff present does their best, but when there is only ONE person for a dinner rush, taking orders and payment and then having to make everything too, obviously the quality and consistency is going to take a hit... I actually feel guilty going here when theres only one person working during rush hour. Its not right to treat your staff like this while the owners are benefiting from understaffing their business.

Ordered delivery through their website online. I recieved it when they said it would arrive, but it was missing my potatoes, the pita for my boyfriends plate and they sent a small box with an individual baklava instead of the big box. When I called I was told the manager would call me back and that delivery was no longer available. It was 7:45pm and they close at 10pm. To date I still havent been contacted by the manager and the same sort of thing happened awhile back last time I ordered through their website (Specifically the Spheretech location).
