incredible super flavorful sandwich & great portion for only $10! it's a small casual place with super cute authentic decor & kind owners, you will feel welcomed right away
I got a baobab popsicle on a hot day & the vegan tajine another time. The hibiscus drink is delicious & the owner gave it to me on the house. the prices are really reasonable
2026: the vegan sandwich is sooo good. Kind of reminds me of my childhood. The owner is really friendly
i came in for a sandwich & ended up with a delicious breakfast, beverage, & dessert thanks to the amazing owner whose kindness & wonderful energy made me return twice on my short trip to montreal! the food was so fresh & healthy (& i couldn't believe how affordable it was for the high quality), the popsicles were incredibly refreshing, & the vibes inside were fantastic. i will return every time i visit montreal because the food & energy were truly unforgettable.

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
Quelle belle découverte de la cuisine mauritanienne/ nomad. Le chef Atigh est une personne passionnée qui aime partager sa culture. Nous avons adoré le sandwich. La portion est généreuse & c'est tellement goûteux. Nous y retournerons assurément!
Le sandwich Mbourou au boeuf est excellent & bien assaisonné. Je conseille de prendre un truc à côté pour les grandes faims par contre. Le service est amical & chaleureux, c'est un endroit agréable.
The best sandwich I've had in Montreal in years! I went to grab something for takeout, it had sweet & spicy aromas, the meat was juicy & delicious & the owner was clearly happy to be here. Will go back.
This place has the best sandwiches in Mile End / Plateau, among the best in Montreal. I think their vegan sandwich is the best in the city; super hearty, with touches of salt, sweet (honey) & spice, & without any ketchup or mayo. They also serve tajines & popsicles that I can't wait to come back & try. Prices are really reasonable (& show you just how much other places are overcharging!). Staff is very friendly & the ambience is warm (West African jazz on the speakers). Must try!
Update: can confirm their balbastik glace are da bomb! Kefir lime is excellent.
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!
