A lovely experience. We are visiting Montréal & came a bit out of our way to go here & are so glad we did. The proprietor was very kind & made our falafel fresh in front of us. She also offered us several tastings of some of their most popular menu items. Everything on the menu is vegan.

La petit famille a eu envie d'un bon falafel qu' on commandait là avant la pandémie. Ça faisait longtemps qu'on en n'a pas été.
Très déçus ce soir & ça nous donne plus envie de revenir.
1- patates maison dans le temps ne le sont plus . C'est de pommes de terres surgelées & salées comme la facture
2- service médiocre voir humiliant.
Un client devant nous qui se fait mal traité & puis c'était notre tour. On nous fait répété la commande deux fois & puis un du staff reconfirme la commande comme si on avait menti, des feuilles de commandes ça existe vous savez.. c'est plus agréable & plus simple pour la gestion. Après à la caisse, le patron nous tend le sac & nous demande d'emballer la commande qu'il a posé en face de nous, avez vous déjà vu un restaurateur qui se respecte faire emballer la commande par ses clients!!
Bref, c'était pas la meilleure journée pour y aller!

Absolutely the best falafel in the city (& all of their mock meats are great too!). The quality here is top-notch, with everything always tasting fresh & delicious. The customer service is exceptional. Every visit feels like a warm & welcoming experience. My whole family absolutely loves this place, & we keep coming back for more. If you're looking for amazing falafel & a friendly atmosphere, this is the spot to visit!

Our vegan daughter surprised us with a delightful meal, including shawarma, shishtaouk, & falafel trios that she brought home. Although my wife & I are avid meat-eaters, the deliciousness of these dishes makes us consider giving up meat without hesitation.

Every item was reasonably priced & perfectly flavourful. We got two plates (falafel & shishtaouk) which covered both lunch & dinner. Even simple items like the pita bread & humus was perfect. They maintain high standards in their recipes. Dined outdoors under the umbrella; seating arrangement was thoughtfully done. Will definitely go back & highly recommend others do too.
