Honestly, I am not kind of the person who write review but really this is my second time that i have this bad experience from this branch.Yesterday I ordered Chicket pita with all dress except onion , the person just add tomato and cabbage slaw which was really tasteless ,and the chicken was terrible it was not crispy at all and it had no taste - never go there again-What a disappointment.

Haven't been to Montreal for over 2 years. First stop is here. Still good tastes. Mixed plate portion is large, and the employee is friendly. For me, Boustan is still no.1 shawarma in Montreal.

The workers are nice, but I had some garlic potatoes and threw up constantly afterwards. It was definitely expired or contaminated.

I'd like to redo my evaluation because the server was really kind and professional tonight, and the meat quantity in my saj was very generous. Three of us had a similar and satisfying experience. Thank you for offering late-night dine-in service.

I ordered a chicken shawarma poutine and got no cheese with it. I called to complain and they didn’t pick up the phone. Don’t get food from here (it’s overpriced and not worth it)

I've eaten several times at Boustan, usually the one on Crescent street downtown.Food there is amazing and always consistent but not my favourite because of their horrible service. This one, in front of Metro Cote-Vertu, is my 4th time coming here and service is always excellent. The taste of the chicken shawarma is slightly different to the ones I'm used to, (the Boustan in CDN and Dtown) but nonetheless, food is always fresh. The potatoes could add a bit more flavour to it, as for "garlic" potatoes. And the Pita bread could be softer, maybe heat it up before serving it? Otherwise, this place would be a 5 start. Good service, clean space, and good food. Ohh, I usually alway take the chicken wrap but this time, opted for a chicken shawarma plate instead. Good proportions

I ordered the chicken shawarma trio for 2 people, guess what more salad than chicken pita too dry (probably dated several days ago). Extremely disappointed

November 23, 2024

Beef shawarma trio arrived with Ubereat, burnt and the pita was garocheed in the brown paper bag. So, it was all open in the bag and the inside of the pita fell into the bag.... In addition, the potatoes tasted of the past date. I hope to be refunded.... It cost me $28!!!

Everytime Ive ordered from here the rice wasnt cooked enough and the chicken was very dry, but I didnt complain, one time I got a meal with a hair inside of it and they remade it which was very sweet but right after that, in the end of April, I ate half and then noticed an ant inside my food but when I called, the man told me he didnt believe it and that he couldnt give me a refund. This plate costs 20$, and on top of that, they do not wear any gloves, which is disappointing and no hairnets specific for their beards, which is very gross. It is clean ish but the only Boustan close while away from home, so.. it is unfair, and just because it happens in a row doesnt mean it is my fault nor that Id be lying like, please. Other than that, they are nice people, and the other times before the past 2 have been okay. I was willing to take a photo of it to show them, but they responded to me with an attitude, so I hung up and try to purchase at other restaurants.

★★★
December 23, 2023

Awesome food at affordable prices :)) Unfortunately I have to edit my review and add to it reducing 2 stars due to a single bad experience where the employee didn t respect me asking to add a topping saying that we are closing and rushing my order (at 10:35pm) while I waited 7-10m after arriving at 10:20pm because the potatoes were being done. While the food is great, the paying customer s experience and request should be respected. Please note that closing time according to the sign board is 11pm. Be careful not to go to this location at late hours because you might get attitude and good food (but not of your choice). Hope this helps.

December 23, 2023

Honestly, I dont like to complain or leave bad reviews but this was just bad. I love the original boustan, unfortunatrly this was nothing like that. Soggy tomatoes, bad turnips, meh tasteless slaw, and the chicken was terrible- the spices were off, there was no crunch from the slaw or turnips, no crispy bits of chicken. Everything tasted off and the texture was just soggy. What a disappointment.

December 23, 2023

Horrible food and service . Never again !!

December 23, 2023

Their attempt at catering to their vegan customers is in vain. For instance, I once ordered a Boustan vegan wrap with the potatoes on the side, and got diarrhea from it. Also, they are stingy with their vegan sauce. Not only do they fill the sauce containers 3/4, they also avoid to use it whenever possible and sometimes confuse it with the regular non-vegan garlic sauce OR replace with hummus. Their recent vegan addition to the menu is subpar (i.e., Boustan Bowl). After eating it, I was left unsatisfied and disgusted. The avocados were underripe, they were stingy with the potatoes (which are dirt cheap), the salad was not fresh, and added no vegan protein to the bowl. Overall, this establishment is low-effort.

I dont know if they pass meat or potatoes or wtv what expires but damn! Before I had zero pain and today we all have stab wounds in the stomach? Big I understand that you dont want to lose your money but from there to making everyone sick get back in place, are you?

It was my first time at Boustan and the workers were very nice and generous with the portions! Highly recommend the beef shawarma pita and the garlic potatoes! They prepared my order quickly and the food was very fresh even though it was close to 9pm when I ordered. Edit: Disappointed this time. I ordered two plates and asked the worker if he made sure to put the pita in the bag. He said yes. I got home and we opened up the takeout and we found that only one of the plates had a pita. Also, they forgot both of the drinks that I had bought!! Really disappointed since we had a good experience the first time. Edit 2: I went back to grab 2 plates last night, and it seems maybe the owner was there? Which I think increased the quality of service. Portions were more generous than usual and they gave me a sturdier bag to carry my food. The chicken was a bit dry though, but everything else was perfect. Fast and efficient. They definitely stepped it up and made it up from the last few times I was here. 5 stars!
