shawarma(53) garlic(26) potatoes(25) sauce(21) chicken(20) fresh(15) pita(14) garlic sauce(13) recommend(12) quick(12) tasty(11) falafel(11)This is an institution in Montreal & has been around forever, so I figured I had to try it. I got the mixed shawarma pita with the garlic potatoes. It was pretty good, but definitely not anywhere near the best I've ever had. The potatoes were old & pretty dry, the only thing that saved them was the garlic mayo, which was super good, extremely garlicky. It was so good I added it to the shawarma too, because it was a bit dry. It's a small dingy kind of partially underground eatery with a bit of seating outside, nothing special. I would hope there are better shawarma places in Montreal.
Very good falafel! Such delicious fillings & the pitta is perfectly crispy! The Crescent Street location is a little rough around the edges, but they give good service!
So glad the Original is still here. Made a stop specifically for this on my way home to Toronto & it did not disappoint! That Garlic Sauce is still as good as I remembered!
I've been multiple times, & I love their food & service. It's delicious, & the potatoes are sweet & flavorful. Their garlic aïoli is stellar with a good amount of garlic in there. & their sauces are also great.
I'm from NY & my coworker asked what's good to eat in Montreal & I told him he must try this place. Every time I go to Montreal, I make sure I eat this at least once a day. The white sauce they put on the potatoes is so good that I asked them if they can give me a big container to take home & I would pay for it. He gave me a Chinese soup container size amount & since I came from NY he didn't even charge me! What a kind staff member.
Exceptional service & food quantity. Was served very promptly. Every location is good but this one is best. 10/10
