Reviews portray Kahwa Café as a warm, bustling spot known for generous, well made sandwiches and fresh bread, with the chicken panko, kebab, merguez, and tuna sandwiches getting frequent praise for flavor and crisp textures. The atmosphere is described as friendly and lively, with attentive staff and a welcoming vibe that makes guests feel at home, and prices are noted as very reasonable for the quality. While the overall impression is strong, some comments point to variation between locations, including differences in meat portions and seating capacity, and a few notes about menu choices feeling less traditional for Tunisian flavors. The bread made in house is repeatedly highlighted as a standout, and many diners emphasize returning for the sandwiches, coffee, and the positive energy of the team.
we came with my boyfriend & had the poulet panko sandwich, the kebab sandwich, & fries to share. everything was honestly really good, the bread alone stands out, super fresh & just elevates the whole sandwich to another level
the place was busy, but the energy still felt warm & welcoming. the girl at the cash & a man who I think is the manager were both really kind & attentive.
at one point, the server came to apologize for a small delay (it really wasn't long at all) & offered us a free fry & drink, which we didn't expect. then the manager personally came to serve us, super friendly, with a genuine smile & apology.
it's those little genuine interactions that really make a difference in someones day. great service & great food! will definitely be back

Déjà trois fois que je vais manger au Kahwa Café, & chaque fois c'est un bonheur d'y retourner !
Etant végétarien j'ai testé le Falafel & l'Italien. C'est un délice ! Mention spéciale pour le Falafel ! Le pain maison est vraiment trop bon. Le personnel est HYPER chaleureux ! Franchement bravo à toute l'équipe :) ça fait hyper plaisir ! Tout le monde est souriant & sympa.
Hâte d'y retourner l'été pour profiter du parc en prenant à emporter ! Bref ne passez pas à côté, c'est une valeur sûre !
Je tiens vraiment à vous remercier pour l'accueil exceptionnel & pour le service excellent que j'ai eu très belle ambiance & la soupe au lentille était succulente .....merci encore pour votre beau sourire & votre gentillesse...vous avez fait ma journée 🌹

Kahwa is a must see/must-visit when I come to Montreal. This location in particular is always very warm, accommodating (kind enough to let me use staff washroom), & serves up fresh, warm, delicious sandwiches. Please support this location - beautiful family runs it I believe. They are all truly wonderful.
C'était la deuxième fois que je suis allée à ce restaurant. C'était très bon. J'ai pris le poulet Panko. L'ambiance est chaleureux, mais ça peu être parfois difficile de manger à l'extérieur car c'est assez petit, donc à venir hors heure de pointe si on veut s'asseoir & s'installer.
On a essayé suite aux recommandations de notre fils & ses amis. On a pris le poulet panko & le merguez maison.
On aimait bien le sanwhich. Pain croquant avec une quantité de viande & sauce qui se mélangeaient. So yummy.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food. I was expecting more traditional Tunisian sandwiches, but the menu felt quite Americanized & greasy, which I didn't enjoy. That said, the staff were friendly & welcoming.
Wow! The panko chicken was the best sandwich I have had in some time. The chicken was excellent but the bread (which is made in house) may have been the star of the show. I had a very good latte as well. The employees were fun & welcoming & generally seemed happy to be there. They made fun of my wife for asking for a knife & fork to eat her sandwich...AS THEY SHOULD! Big portions, the sandwich was as big as a football. Very, very reasonable prices. Lunch for two at McDonalds would have been more expensive. It's a small place with very limited seating. We were lucky to get a table but if we had shown up 5 minutes later we would have had to take our food to go. We are looking forward to coming back in the spring when we will be able to eat in the park across the street.
Un des sandwichs au poulet frit les plus délicieux que j'ai mangé! Tout est en harmonie & la constance dans la qualité & le goût est toujours au rendez-vous.
L'un des meilleurs sandwich que mon mari & moi avons manger! C'est juste incroyablement bon, vraiment à faire!
Le personnel & l'ambiance sont très sympa!
C'est franchement décevant de voir à quel point la quantité de viande dans les sandwichs du Kahwa Mont-Royal Est est réduite. On parle facilement de deux à trois fois moins que dans les autres succursales, notamment celle sur Rachel ou celle plus haut sur Mont-Royal.
Lors de ma dernière visite, j'ai même entendu le patron demander à un employé de faire attention à ne pas mettre trop de viande. Le contraste est frappant avec les autres cafés de la chaîne, où les portions sont généreuses & suffisantes pour réellement rassasier. Ici, ce n'est malheureusement pas le cas.
Bref, si vous avez faim, mieux vaut aller dans une autre succursale.
