Love the vegan shiitake mushroom option! Delicious, flavourful and filling. The service at this location is lovely, the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. I loved Boustan in Montreal and I’m glad the food and service are as stellar in the GTA!

Delicious Lebanese food in Oakville. I had the standard bowl of chicken shawarma with mix of rice and burgul, fattoush salad, with hummus and garlic, sauces, and pita bread. My partner had the beef Shawarma with mix of rice and potato, fatouch salad and harissa souce. We loved the food fresh, and delicious. My only comment is that fattouche doesn’t usually have spinach the way it’s cooked in the Middle East. Otherwise the food portion is good, reasonably priced, good customer service. We will definitely be back!

I love this place. Everytime I go, it is consistent food quality and service. The people that work for are so pleasant and always are happy to see customers. I’ve ordered personal takeout and catering from here and the food is always fresh and delicious. No meat out of a food warmer. Just freshly sliced shawarma. I hope this place never changes.

Ordered The beef shwarma and the chicken shwarma as well as the garlic potato's. Not a single part of this meal was a disappointment! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was nice and calm. All of our questions were answered, and we were given recommendations and everything was explained to us perfectly! The food also doesn't sit heavy in your stomach! Amazing first time experience all around! Can't wait to come back! Even if it's just for the potatoes!

Kindest staff and the best food. Got the vegan bowl and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. Sauces were vegan too!

The food was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and fresh. The manager was very kind as well. I will definitely be back! DON'T order on their website !!!! It's through Door dash and apparently Boustan never got the order..so I redid it in person, had to wait for it, paid in person, then Door Dash charged me even though I didn't get the food, so I paid TWICE for the same order. I went to Boustan and they told me to call Door Dash . After spending 30 minutes on hold, and talking to many people at Door Dash they refused to give me a refund because they said that the order shows that it was completed!!!! Boustan wouldn't help either...so I am out the money and paid twice for my food and wasted so much time dealing with this too:((( I am very disappointed.

Title: A Taste of Montreal in Oakville – A Hidden Gem! From the moment I stepped into this delightful Oakville eatery, Suchi and camera made me feel as if I had time-traveled back to the vibrant streets of Montreal, where my culinary dreams began. As a self-proclaimed sandwich aficionado, my heart raced with anticipation as I made my way to the counter, eager to reunite with my all-time favorite – “The Creation.” The ambiance of the restaurant instantly enveloped me in warmth, with charming decor that echoed the spirit of Montreal’s bustling food scene. But it was the genuine warmth of the staff that truly made the experience unforgettable. The lovely woman behind the counter greeted me with a smile that felt like a hug, instantly putting me at ease as I reminisced about my past visits to my favorite city. Now, let’s talk about the sandwich – oh, the sandwich! “The Creation” was just as I remembered it, if not better. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that transported me straight back to the bustling cafes of Montreal. The bread was perfectly toasted, creating a satisfying crunch that gave way to layers of fresh, succulent ingredients. The combination of flavors was nothing short of magical, crafted with the kind of love and care that only a truly passionate chef can provide. As I savored every mouthful, I felt a wave of nostalgia wash over me, reminding me of the countless times I’d enjoyed this masterpiece in Montreal. The sandwich did not disappoint; it exceeded my high expectations and left me craving more. I can confidently say that I’ve found my new favorite spot in Oakville. The welcoming atmosphere, combined with the incredible flavors of “The Creation,” has made this restaurant my go-to destination. I cannot wait to return regularly, not just for the amazing food, but for the delightful experience that awaits me each time I walk through the door. If you’re in Oakville and have a craving for authentic Montreal cuisine, do yourself a favor and visit this gem. You won’t just find a sandwich; you’ll discover a warm embrace of flavors and hospitality that will make you feel right at home.
