Restaurant Boustan — Restaurant in L'Île-Perrot

I used to know the owner of the original boustan and he always said the quality will go down if more locations open. He ended up selling the business and they sprung up all over the place and he was 100% right. The quality has gone down. The food is still good at this location but tonight I'm kinda disappointed. The food was cold. I live 5 mins from here and it should still be so hot. The potatoes seemed like they were cooked hours ago. And now they are serving the plates in bowls. I don't like the food all mixed together and not enough garlic sauce in the little plastic containers. The salad gets buried under the chicken also. The salad used to be my favorite with a good amount of tahini sauce. I dunno.. as much as I like boustan I'm not happy paying 20$ for a bowl of mixed food. It's a pain having to scoop out some garlic and try to eat out of a bowl of mixed mess. I didn't even finish half the plate before I ran out of garlic sauce and just annoyed with the way the bowl is setup. I think it's time to take a pause from boustan.. Amir is...

I have been to this location a couple of times. The first time, I noticed that the food tasted quite old and not fresh at all: meat was very dry and salty - I had a hard time chewing it, potatoes tasted off and acidic, garlic sauce was too yellow, dried up and tasted terrible. I thought this was just a one time mistake and gave it another chance but each time was exactly the same if not worse . The last time just upon opening the container of food I was taken aback by how bad and far from appetizing the smell was. Previous times, I was never able to finish the food because of how unappetizing and horrid it was but that last time, I could not even take a first bite. I gave this place more chances than it deserves and on my third and last visit I thought that was it. Never going back there ever again... I would rather drive further and buy fresh food from another location that is more quality conscious because this one definitely does not have that as their priority....

I am and will always be a big fan of Boustan. From its very beginnings on crescent to it exceptional growth over the past several years. I have gone twice now to this location and both times have not been up to he Boustan standard. Both times they manage to ruin the classic potatoes as they are under seasoned and under cooked. They overload the pita with coleslaw to make you think it’s full and put very little meat. Talking about the meat, both time the meat was cold. Not trimmed off Hot in what I would assume would be an attempt to not waste or speed up service time is simply a bad practice. The head office needs to do a quality control of this location and new training of these operators. Or simply get new operators as they are ruining Boustan’s good name. Whom ever here left a good review has probably never had a good shawarma or has never been to any other...
