The beef sandwich is delicious. I also had a refreshing hibiscus tea with lemon, orange, & mint. Loved it!

Balbastik - Fresh West African Flavors & Warm Hospitality
I had the pleasure of visiting Balbastik yesterday, & it was a memorable experience from start to finish.
Balbastik is owned by a kind & passionate man from Mauritania, & you can feel the love & care he pours into every detail-his culture & music are truly at the heart of it all. The bread is made fresh in-house, & it makes all the difference-especially in their Spicy Beef Meatball Sandwich, which quickly became my favorite. The meatballs were flavorful & satisfying, with just the right amount of heat. The sauce, made with eggplant, tomatoes, & onions, had a beautiful balance of savory & sweet, thanks to a light drizzle of honey that tied it all together.
To sip alongside everything, I had their housemade juice with orange, mint, hibiscus, & lemon-it tasted like sunshine in a glass. I also couldn't resist trying their homemade baobab popsicle, a refreshing & unique treat, perfect for a hot day. & to finish? A classic mint tea-sweet, aromatic, & the perfect comforting end to the meal.
Beyond the food, the décor is warm & inviting, transporting you straight to Mauritania. Traditional music fills the space, creating a calming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.
Everything at Balbastik is made with heart, & it shines through in every bite. Whether you're stopping in for a quick meal or settling in for a cozy visit, it's a place that welcomes you with open arms & leaves you feeling nourished in every way.

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.

The best sandwiches! Gone back several times during my time in Montreal & it never fails to impress me. The rich flavours, the tenderness of the meat (both chicken & beef), & the wonderful soft bread are so just so good. Fresh mint tea & hibiscus juice available too. Owner is so kind as well. Going to miss this place a lot
