I had an amazing experience at this Mauritanian restaurant! I tried the meatball sandwich, & it was absolutely delicious-flavorful, perfectly seasoned, & really filling. To go with it, I had a hibiscus drink (bissap), which was so refreshing & balanced the meal beautifully.

What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were so generous & welcoming that it truly felt like being back home in the dessert, surrounded by warmth & hospitality. The atmosphere is inviting, & you can tell they care deeply about making every guest feel at ease.

If you're looking for authentic flavors & a place where you'll be treated like family, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

This place has great decor, great service & great food. We had a bomb shakshuka with sweet mint tea, & I'll be returning to try the sandwiches one day. I recommend it to all my friends visiting the area & to you, dear Google reviews reader.

This place is simply wonderful. The service is kind & warm, the food looks, smells, & tastes unreal, & the decorations are so charming! Perhaps the best sandwich in Montreal? We got a chicken sandwich & the brunch shakshouka & it really hit the spot. Highly recommend!
