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!

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!
