Review Summary

Many diners praise Balbastik for warm hospitality, bread made in house, and authentic Mauritanian flavors, with standout items like the beef meatball sandwich and vegan options, plus refreshing drinks such as hibiscus and baobab popsicles, all at very reasonable prices in a cozy space with welcoming service and a mood set by West African jazz.

Casual Mauritanian spot & it is fantastic! Seating & decor is PERFECT! & the food is AMAZING! & owner is SO KIND! Beef sandwich was so spectacular the bread was so soft yet crispy & the flavors were impeccably marinated. Also highly recommend the teas. Wow

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!
