Tried Grillado's Laval Halal Steak & BBQ recently & honestly the food was amazing. The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, & packed with flavor. The sauces were really good too, especially with the fries & grilled platters. Staff was welcoming, service was quick, & the restaurant was clean with a nice atmosphere overall. Definitely one of the better halal grill spots in Laval & a place I'd come back to with friends & family.
I come to Montreal for eat special steaks & chicken ,Their chicken espetada is incredibly juicy, perfectly grilled, & full of flavor. The real highlight is their sauces - the BBQ sauce has a rich smoky taste, while the peri peri hot sauce adds the perfect spicy kick without overpowering the food. The meat quality feels fresh, portions are generous, & the overall presentation is excellent. The atmosphere is cozy, & the staff are friendly & welcoming. A great place for flavorful grilled chicken🤤

I came in today , spent nearly 100$ & was absolutely disappointed , the chicken had a burnt taste , rice was dry & tasted stale , fries are just regular fries, no peri peri salt , & worst of all
They were out of all there was no sauce ! All they had was a quarter of a bottle of garlic & herb & sauce weird tasting vinegar sauce instead of they hot sauce
Went from a 9/10 chicken spot to a 4/10
My first time visiting this location in Laval with my wife.

I always go to this place but yesterday night I felt a bit disappointed because the food was not as good. Although the basic nandos sauces were available, it felt like the garlic sauce had water. The other sauce flavors weren't even available like the main peri peri sauce. We asked the waitress for other bottles, & instead she gave us a half empty bottle that was worse. On the chicken we ordered, which was also not well done, was topped with some vinegar orange sauce, not even the real peri peri one! So, I paid for a big platter yesterday plus tip but it genuinely felt like a waste of my money 🙃 I think you guys should go back to the high quality restaurant & flavor you once were🙏Thank You.
Food is good, it's fresh you can see it however, the portions are very small, for two whole chicken (chickens were small) & a very small fries portion I paid 85$ it's quite expensive.
The staff is great, but again you are not getting your moneys worth.
Went to this place 2 days ago & omg the food was so good! Especially the chicken. Very flavorful! Their garlic bread is very buttery which I love & their fries were pretty decent! Our server was very kind! The place was clean , not much decor but pretty nice! Would recommend & come back . Especially for that chicken & garlic bread😋!
We waited 30+ mins in an EMPTY restaurant just to be told one dish (Tandoori chicken) will take ANOTHER 20mins, when I said we would abandon the order she said a burger will be quicker, so we said ok. so after 10 mins she comes back with the originally tandoori chicken both the chicken & my chicken sandwich were tasteless. Absolutely no seasoning.

Great restaurant.delicious food we had a 2 whole grilled chicken was super tasty.super friendly staff.mr usman helped me out with menu what to choose.definitely recommend this restaurant .definitely going back
Extremely disappointed with the food I ordered today. Some of the chicken was burnt. No sauce was given. When you pick it up they give some, so how come no sauce when we order delivery? The onions rings & fries were extremely soggy, dripping with oil. Their prices just go up as the quality goes down. We were regular customers but not anymore.
Found this place through TikTok & it did not
Disappoint, the owner was very nice & walked me through the whole menu & helped a lot, I got one of their special chicken dishes & it was amazing in taste. I was too hungry to take photos but I'd 100% recommend this place to everyone looking for a good halal place with good prices

I've been looking for a local Portuguese restaurant for ages & was surprised to see this place across the street from my nail salon. I was looking for a healthy quick lunch to take out & decided to get their whole chicken which came with one side, so I chose their fries. Very well seasoned & grilled chicken, spiced well & some house fries that were tasty. It was prepared in less than 10 mins & they gave me some additional hot sauces. Gentles behind the counter was friendly & was helpful with sharing some options for me to choose from. Will definitely be back to try their other items!
The staff are exceptional when it comes to customer service, they checked on us & made sure we were satisfied. We ordered the Beef Back Ribs as well as the Espetada Chicken Skewer, both tasted amazing but I do feel the portions were lacking a little. Then onion rings & fries were enjoyable as well. Presentation was top tier. I plan on coming again to try more on the menu!
This place is a class act. The staff is always welcoming & super friendly. The chicken is some of the best I've ever eaten. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a fast meal or even a sit-down experience.
If you're on the hunt for halal food that is bursting with flavor, look no further. This restaurant is a game-changer, & I can confidently say it serves some of the best peri peri chicken I've ever had.
The Star of the Show: The Chicken
We ordered the Full Platter to get a taste of everything, & it did not disappoint. The chicken was the undeniable highlight. You can tell the quality is top-notch-succulent, juicy halal chicken, marinated to perfection & grilled to have that beautiful, slightly smoky char. The skin was crispy, & the meat inside was so tender it fell right off the bone.
Final Verdict:
Whether you're specifically looking for halal dining options or you're just a foodie in search of an incredible meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. It has successfully combined high-quality halal ingredients with the authentic, fiery spirit of peri peri cuisine. We left with full stomachs & big smiles, already planning our next visit.
