According to Traded, the popular Mediterranean chain hailing from Montréal, Canada, has leased retail space at 2209 SW 37th Ave. in Coral Gables, just steps away from the bustling Miracle Mile.
Boustan is known throughout the southeast region of Canada for its Middle Eastern shawarma, which it prepares in all forms, including pitas, bowls, and salads. Popular shawarma protein choices include chicken, beef, mixed, falafel, vegetarian, kafta, and even vegan options made with shiitake mushrooms.

Canada's largest shawarma chain Boustan will open its first U.S. location in Coral Gables, Miami, with its popular shawarma pitas, bowls, and salads.

Now, Boustan is going International, with locations across the U.S. and Africa.
The main difference between shawarma and gyro is the type of meat used to prepare each dish: Shawarma is usually made with chicken, turkey, beef, or lamb, while gyro is traditionally made with pork.
With over 60 locations, Boustan has a massive following, including on social media.
The same meat and vegetarian choices are available for those who prefer the popular bowl options. Ending the meal on a sweet note, there's a selection of baklavas for dessert.@boustanrestaurant How to make the WHOLE group happy! 🤤 Psst. Our Party Paks are only 79.99$ right now.
