| - I'm giving these guys "2 stars - Meh, I've experienced better," when what I really want to say is: "Waaaaaaaaaaaah! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
Boustan used to make, hands down, the best shawarma (sp?) in Montreal, possibly in the world. I was a big fan of the veggie pita, but also the "Creation" (a combo of the veggie and the chicken) which my friend Shayne actually took credit for inventing back in 2004. Any time, day or night, I would pop in for a pita and the world's greatest vine leaves with the most addictive tahina sauce. I expounded a theory that sesame seeds might contain some kind of addictive substance, similar to opium in poppy seeds, dragging me back to Boustan day after day.
But now I've lost that loving feeling. Because you guys, (and I mean YOU guys, you new owners) have sucked the flavour out of this food.
It's clear the recipes are still the same, but the delicious pita, heretofore grilled to creamy, hot perfection, is now lukewarm. The crispy vegetable are limp and tasteless. The vine leaves have that distinct carbonated aftertaste of something that should have been chucked and replaced a few days ago, and the SAUCE (you cretins, DEVILS!) has been thinned out to the point of flavourlessness.
My heart is broken.
