Lining up for Boustan's heavenly shwarma, garlic fries and friendly banter is a rite of passage for many students attending university in Montreal. On a recent trip, I re-lived that experience and I enjoyed it as much (if not more) as I used to in the past. The experience was better this time because I did not have finals/assignments to worry about!
The shwarma was as good as I remember it being: toasty pita, with succulent crispy chicken choc-a-bloc with flavor and veggies, hummus and garlic sauce. The accompanying garlic potatoes were gooey without being soggy and very filling. Did I mention I am a big fan of the garlic sauce?
The staffs' spirits and smiles are unfailing.
As I was returning with my order, I walked passed a very drunk trio, once of whom was urinating quite proudly while standing in the middle of Crescent street. Some things never change!
