Hi Good food at this branch , employees friendly, however place not as clean as the one I usually go . Took a mixte shawarma plate , was great with extra eggplant & mushrooms . The pita was very fresh and soft Parking was difficult at 7.00 pm On a Saturday, they where very busy . The gut making the plates was using an electric shaver for the meet , quick to service Cheers Mike

Love this place. The service is great. The food is delicious. The restaurant itself is a bit « cold » but the food and smiles make up for it.

I ordered their Chicken SAJ and Mix SAJ party PAK for a get together. It seems someone prepared the food with love and care. I can say one of the best places to have shawarma. Thanks

By far the best Boustan I’ve ever eaten in the city compared to the original location. Sandwich was made with love, well balanced ingredients, well wrapped, well charred. The falafels were not dry and super flavourful. Everything tasted fresh. I’ve been a few times and it’s been consistently delicious.
