Excellent choix de salades qui sont très savoureuses. Les viandes végétales sont très bonnes, belle texture & savoureux assaisonnements. Les serveurs sont très sympathiques. Belle découverte !
Being from Egypt, I've had some of the best falafel ever. Though the absolute best is homemade, this one is darn close & the aroma walking in, is reminiscent of the food markets back home. Try it out, you won't be disappointed!

Wow. Le sandwich classique est très bon. Plein de saveurs mélangées. Beaucoup de légumes en plus des falafels. Servis dans des pains plats faits sur place.
Not sure what they put in the fries, because they just keep getting better :) Absolute perfection. The falafel pita is also amazing, & if you get the trio you'll likely have a hard time finishing it all because it's a very generous portion. Very highly recommended!
Best falafel I've had. Every part of it made fresh in house. Hot sauce amazing. Went back a second time & it was still amazing. The staff is extremely friendly & go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
Small place, I would even say hidden gem as it is not some very popular area with a lot of people. The place is old but looks pretty clean. Food looks & tastes amazing (BUT very very SALTY for the falafel 🥙 ). The salad & food presentation overall , is very well done. Eggplant 🍆 tastes amazing. Falafel is good. They ask you if you want it spicy or not. Portions are generous & prices are borderline cheap, rather than medium. A falafel plate is about$ 18 including taxes. Small dishes available in plastic containers, easy to take out as well. Verdict : definitely give it a try.

I've been to this location many times & the food is delicious every time. The falafel is the best I've ever had - so crispy, perfectly cooked - the falafel sandwich is well balanced with delicious pita, fresh veggies, & a nice kick from the sauce. One of the best bites in Montreal. Service is always so lovely & pleasant as well!
