Food : the same as every boustan Service : normal boustan Ambiance: typical Boustan lol best garlic sauce in town tho read more

A fan of this Lebanese "fast food" chain in Montreal. I know it's prolly nothing special, but living in a smaller city, Boustan would be considered very good. Subtle differences from what I'm accustomed to. Chopped cabbage instead of lettuce, spicy but addictive Harissa sauce and the thin bread. read more

I got the takeout. I had the mixed Saj. the bread was flaky and fulling was excellent. the sevice was quick read more

The best fast food Lebanese place you can find in West Island of Montreal. Definitely better than Amir or Basha. Their meat is more seasoned and taste better, their sauce has more flavor. Even the salad taste special. If you ask for a take out, the amount they give you is pretty generous. Personally it gives me 2 separate meals during my shift. Very filling. read more

Boustan - Mix plate (shish taouk and shawarma) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dollard-Des Ormeaux, Quebec

Revisited this location after almost a year and my visit was just ok. The location seems to be under new management as the entire staff as well as some of the menu has changed. The restaurant itself also has been through some renovations. They now offer the thin saj bread as an option, so figured I'd give it a try. I went with the saj chicken shawarma plate. It seems to be copied right off of the menu of Shawarmaz but that is where the similarities end. The result was dry and bland, even the presentation was boring. The entire staff seemed confused as to what the new options came with and how to prepare the new items, and kept referring back to what I can only guess might have been the owner. All in all it was a disappointing visit, I don't think I'll be back but if I did I would stick to what Boustan does best like the creation pita. read more

Boustan - Saj chicken shawarma pita plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dollard-Des Ormeaux, Quebec

Boustan offers new vegan options since Aug 2020. I love their vegan kebab pita and garlic sauce. The vegan kebab is made of shiitake mushrooms and has a great chewy texture. Portions are generous and filling. Service is quick and friendly. I highly recommend Boustan for a quick meal with omnivore friends. read more

Boustan - a plate of food on a wooden table - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dollard-Des Ormeaux, Quebec

Love picking up food from Boustan St Jean. Service is really quick and the staff is friendly. I call 5-10 mins before going to give my order and it's always ready and warm once I get there. They've always got my order right even when sometimes it gets more complex. Their hours are great too, they're open till 4am on Fridays and Saturdays and till Midnight every other day! read more

In my opinion this is the best Boustan's in the greater Montreal area. The service is always good--the staff is friendly & treats you well. I like that they don't annoyingly charge extra for customizing your wrap. I like a little hummus, garlic sauce, and hot sauce in my wrap--and taboulé! No extra charge. Love that! The portions are always generous with loads of meat and their hot sauce is deliciously balanced. Unlike many other Lebanese restaurants, it doesn't have the taste of raw tomato paste. Their potatoes are always great too! Overall, the place is clean, the ingredients taste fresh, and I'm always left satisfied. read more

Boustan has been around in Montreal for ages apparently, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. It was a line assembly, and all the workers were very nice. They have faucet water at the sink on the right side with plastic cups, or else you have to buy bottled drink from the fridge. I really enjoyed their potatoes as a side surprisingly. Not much of a potato person, I thought their potatoes were outstanding. Super flavorful. I also really liked their garlic sauce, not so much their garlic mayo (because it is unhealthy) even though they give you a big serving of it on the side. The place is super casual and affordable, and I can see lots of families and friends going here for a quick Lebanese comfort meal. I loved all the meat platters to include the chicken and beef, and could have eaten an additional tray of it. I thought the vegetarian platter wasn't too interesting because you pretty much get everything on the meat platter except the falafel, which wasn't that good. read more

Vegan wrap is wow!! The rest of their options are soo good too!! Live ordering from here!

Was planning to go to Amir but they were out of beef! I got excellent advice to go to Boustan instead. My beef shawarma plate was terrific; fresh and filling. Potatoes and rice were flavourful, and their salad had shredded cabbage which was really nice. All sauces (garlic sauce, garlic mayo, hummus) were packed with taste! And I can't finish without noting the staff was all young, dynamic and super-friendly. This is a new go to for my family. read more

#1 Lebanese food in the West Island hands down. Perfect Shawarma chicken every time at a more than decent price. It's me and my dad's go-to place (and quite possibly the reason my old racist Greek grandma started liking Arabs). That being said, I do recommend the trio chicken pita. Great value for the price and they don't cheap out on the damn garlic sauce like motherf*cking Amir. That thing is water. Don't go to Amir. It's the McDonald's of Lebanese food. Especially if you can go to Boustan instead. Recommending "Creation" if you really want to inflate your stomach. P.S. Don't eat the pita sandwiches in the car, it leaks. Unless you're a very careful eater! read more

TLDR: Best shwarma in Montreal. Just as delicious as the one downtown. Their mixed platter comes with tender beef and juicy chicken with a side of fluffy rice, toasted potatoes, aioli, hummus, and a pita! If you're on a protein based diet, and don't want the carbs, you can literally just get a helping of your meat of choice. The service is quick and efficient, even when the line nearly goes out the door. Not only are they big in quantity they are also big on flavour. Still my go to place for my middle eastern craving on the west side. read more

Absolute best food for the buck in Montreal, if you haven't tried Boustan yet then waddle on over there and give it a try...you will not be disappointed. read more

The food is definitely consistent with the downtown locations; good tasting and affordable. The service is slow, maybe because still working out the kinks since it just opened on August 17, but really worth the wait. The chicken shawarma (aka shish taouk at a competitor's) is delicious. Instead of using lettuce, they dress the pita sandwhich with coleslaw. You can even ask to put some roasted potatoes in the sandwhich. What makes this place so good is that they roast your sandwhich on a grill, giving it the crisp that they're known for. I've now graduated to ordering The Creation. It's pretty much a chicken shawarma overdosed on crack - it's all dressed including eggplants, hot sauce, and much much more! What I love about the garlic sauce at this place is that it's light - not overly pungent - and you can still have a conversation with a close-talker after the meal ;D! If this is going to be your first Lebanese food experience eating a chicken shawarma, then be warned, you've already set the bar high. ** Not sure if they're going to end up stocking up but when I was there on opening night, napkins were scarce... You might want to bring extra napkin because of the grease from The Creation. read more

The Shawarma here is excellent. You have to try the Garlic Potato Salad. The Restaurant is clean and friendly staff.

Phenomenal place to dine out in the evening. Park the car late at night and stroll in. Shawarma dishes are amazing, they have sandwiches and dinners so take your pick. Garlic potatoes, one word: heaven! So good I just had to go up and get another plate! Try and you won't regret. Most enjoyable place to eat during my trip to Montreal. read more

Speedy and friendly service. Love the food, often grab a bite let Friday and Saturday when they're open until 4am! read more

Number of reasons why I rated a 4 star... 1) super friendly staff, 2) found is soooo good - always take the chicken pita mmm garlic - and those potatoes and garlic sauce !!!! 3) hours of operation - open until 4am Thursday, Friday, Saturday- great after an evening of drinking ;) read more

I gave it 4 stars as there is always room for improvement. I have been there on a few occasions and my only complaint is that when your order the Trio you get to much to eat. My solution is to order an extra salad and make two meals out of it. Great value. read more

Best Lebanese comfort food you can have in the West Island. The staff is so friendly and quick with their orders. The portions are huge so make room for it! You can even call ahead to have your order ready when you arrive. The prices are fair for what you get. Either eat in at home or at the restaurant. It is spacious and equipped with a big screen TV if you want to watch hockeys games or any other sports. I am a regular and will remain one. Keep on BOUSTAN! Keep on! read more

Employees and owner are very rude. Not my problem they are having a bad day. I ordered a chicken pita and paid almost $8 for it (prices have increased drastically but quality has gone down), it was burned. When i asked him to fix it for me, the employee got all angry. My god, how hard his job is! Poor guy. Seriously though, its one of the worst boustans. The only reason I went there is because it was in the west island. Never again going to spend money at this place. read more

The Chicken trio is great value for the money and it tastes great. I usually take it spicy with extra tomatoes instead of turnips.

Food is ok. Atmosphere is quite tense, service was pretty angry and impatient. We won't be back.

Great food. Best shawarma in the west-island. Service is a bit slow but ok. Great staff though.

THE BEST place for Lebanese food in the West. The chicken pita will be fully loaded with meat, making sure you are full after. The meat will be dripping with juice, and it will be an incredibly crispy pita as they put it on the grill. Its a very unique idea and it makes it so much better! They also have the best garlic sauce I have ever tasted, a perfect match for the delicious potatoes that you will eat non stop. I can't stop coming here, I might need some help. read more

I've eaten many lebanese "fast food"/shawarma places, which include Basha, the halal guys, Amir, Sarab, and more. However boustan by far nails everything from quantity, price, and massive amounts of flavor. Must buy! read more

Good value, friendly service, clean premises. Can't go wrong with chicken shwarma or the combo meal

average at best. the only thing that this place has going for it is the late hours on weekends. I guess the owners of Boustan downtown got fed up of drunken west-islanders saying..."this food is awesome man! you should open up on the west island man!" better option further north on St.John's...Mr.Falafel. family run and more of a homemade taste. read more

Ok food..not as good as the one on crescent in downtown. The worse service btw. One of the counter persons was pleasant, (the taller gentleman) but the other (the main guy in the front responsible for cash) treats customers as if he doesn't want them there!!! Way too much attitude!! Unbelievable how ppl or owners like that with no customer service skills or appreciation are place themselves in the front as the face of the business. read more

Nice big portions with their plates. I take the chicken plate comes with coleslaw salad ,shredded chicken, pita, rice, garlic sauce, vegetables,potatoes. Lots of flavors and taste just writing about it makes me want to go back or grab my leftovers in my fridge. There`s a little bit of a wait in a line every time I go but it moves quite fast and so many people enjoy eating here that its on a lot of peoples list of choices for a quick yummy lunch. Pita is a absolute must! They grill it so it gets that nice crispy texture read more

Best chicken pita in the west island. So happy they opened one here. Never going back to Amir. It doesn't even compare to Boustan.

Omg I love this place their service in terms of them preparing our is quick, their staff are friendly. love the food price. One of the best potatoes and garlic I've tasted. Why I rate a 4 is because you have to say To Go for a larger portion. But the food is flavourful nonetheless. And they're open late night read more

Loooove this place! Hands down the best shish taouk sandwiches out there.. Only problem is the long line ups during peak times but still so definitely worth it! read more

The reviews on this restaurant made us buy it for dinner two nights ago. The man I spoke on the phone with was nice, however it was clear that my order was going to be screwed up. After picking up my food and coming back to my hotel, I noticed that they forgot to give my drink and failed to supply the bags with spoons and forks and whatnot. The food was absolutely disgusting. You could taste the "freshness" in each bite, it was clear they were serving food that was really old and were soon to go bad. Two days later and here I am with food poisoning because of the food here. Everyone in my family who hate the meal has gotten food poisoning. This place is absolute trash and as much as I wanted to like it, I couldn't. Doesn't even deserve the 1 star I gave it. read more

Amazing restaurant! One of the best shawarma wraps I've ever had. Their beef plates are also very good. Solid choice if you're in the west island. It's also open late which is a plus. read more

Service is very fast and friendly, now the food i might be picky but it's obviously not the real lebanese shish taouk and garlic sauce, but definitely better than any other lebanese fast food. read more

Lebanese food that's a bit different from all the others. Perfect for Saturday night at 3am! Service is okay they seem to rush you a bit when it's late though. After eating here too much I dunno, food just doesn't as amazing as it did at first. read more

Average Middle-Eastern food restaurant. The plates are relatively good sized. The place is usually clean. The most beneficial aspect of this diner is the hours. Usually I hit the Boustizz after a turn up. The staff is lacking some professionalism but that doesn't bother too much. read more

Disappointed. Had the chicken and beef brochette platter. Both were extremely dry and the beef in particular was tasteless.
