They feature grilled meats, like chicken skewers, lamb and beef along with shawarma and a few other specialities such as pastries and "Manakish" (pizzas). Located on Tashereau close to 3 Amigos, this restaurant doesn't stand out from the outside, but since I got a flyer in the mail, I noticed the name change, I think "Coin du Charbon" is a clever way to attract customers. If you are looking for grilled meats, there is a good selection here. I opted for a filet mignon platter, which was essentially filet mignon skewers served with pita, your choice of potatoes/rice and salad. The meat was tender, juicy and everything was well seasoned. At around $16 or $17 a plate, the pricing and portion was generous. I have no complaints about the food, I enjoyed my meal- however when we entered the restaurant to order, we got zero reception and the overall atmospwhere seemed uninviting. They have 4 large TV screens for the menu, but 2 of the screens were not functioning. No one greeted us or offered additional information about the menu, yet we were the only customers and there seemed to be no rush. No smiles, no effort to be friendly... (even with a mask on, you can tell if someone is trying to smile usually but this wasn't the case). Customer service should be improved, as for that point alone I wouldn't really want to go back.

Based on 2 visits, I give this Boustan 4 stars. My first takeout visit was 5+ stars. I ordered two…read moreshawarma plates (one of each) and a falafel pita: everything was fresh, hot, very flavourful, and the portions were huge. A few weeks later, I got a delivery order. The chicken shawarma was as yummy as I remembered it, but the falafel sandwich was ice-cold and starting to go soggy (even though the pita had been grilled). I would guess the sandwich had been made way in advance of the Saturday dinner rush. I also tried the kefta plate with an extra beef skewer. All the beef was tasty, but way way overcooked. The beef skewer cubes were very tough and leathery, very difficult to cut even with a stainless steel knife much less a plastic knife. The kefta were dry and mealy - no juice at all. And the sides with this kefta plate were quite skimpy, especially when compared to the chicken shawarma plate right next to it - hardly any potatoes and barely any salad items besides cole slaw. And they forgot the pita bread on both plates and the napkins I had asked for. And the sauces were mostly mayo, quite stingy with the hummus. So unlike the take-out experience, which was fantastic! Moral of the story: Choose eat-in or take-out, so you can see them load up the plates and you can customize your fixings. The place is clean and bright, but the parking lot is cramped in front - park on the side instead. The staff is friendly and fast. But delivery may suffer because of their popularity and the captive audience - the orders are either made way in advance or sit in the driver's car for too long, and the portions are much smaller.

I asked my dad what he wanted to eat and it was a salad. The itsy bitsy container cost $11 for lettuce and parsley?

The salads were tasty and fresh but the price took me by surprise... especially for the size.

I figure it's only fitting, I should write the first review of their new express location, since I…read moredid for their original location as well. From the look of it they are focusing on their very popular (and for good reason) sandwich wraps with a variety of fillings. As I thought they have a well thought out list of sandwiches, wrapped in their fabulous manoushe (Middle Eastern flatbread) fresh dough wrap. The baked falafel is a standout as it is not only baked but smashed before baking and then double baked on location for some serious extra warmth and comfort going down. They also have Zaatar and cheese as another non-meat option. I had tried their chicken wrap prior, so I know why it's now considered famous. They also have a thinly sliced smoked meat and authentic Lebanese desserts and boxes of imported baklava which is beyond refined and delicious. It's hard to stop once you've had one piece so take the rest home a spread it over a few days of sweet goodness with your tea or coffee. You can boost your meal as a trio with either cheese potatoes or salad and a soft drink or fruit juice for $5. The ambiance is airy and fresh with a very high ceiling and a mezzanine level. One entire exposed brick wall gives the space a mixed feel and the art adds to the overall look and feel - a bit Old Montreal gallery-like. If you know that the name of their restaurant means in the oven in English, you'll know that the carbs surrounding these fillings are well worth the calories. The owner's hospitality is beyond measure as a bonus, so see you again soon, to continue doing some serious sandwiching. I heard they have a new south shore option on Tachereau in La Praire. Good to know and lucky for the 'southshorers'!

The food is not the quality I would expect from other Basha restaurants that I have visited. The hummus was expired the first time around. It wasn't smelling bad or almost going bad, it was clearly expired. The potatoes were extremely salted and deep fried too much, they were almost unrecognizable. The pita bread used to hold the sandwich was breaking apart, not due to the sauce, but I suspect due to how old it is. If you are looking for a shawarma / shish taouk restaurant. I highly recommend going somewhere else.
