Kahwa Café draws praise across reviews for fresh, house-made bread and generous, flavorful sandwiches that shine with a Tunisian influence, especially the chicken panko, kebab, merguez and falafel varieties. The bread is repeatedly highlighted as the star, baked on site and delivering a crusty exterior with a soft interior, while sauces add depth and the fillings feel fresh and well balanced. Service is consistently described as friendly and efficient, with prices widely considered affordable for the portion sizes. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, though some notes mention it can feel small or get loud when busy and that portions can vary between visits. Overall, the sandwiches are regarded as among the best in Montreal, with many readers choosing takeout to enjoy in nearby parks and a few locations applauded for their atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff.
Came by for a quick snack. I had the chicken & my partner had the kabob. Both were spectacular. Great flavors, amazingly affordable, textured were lovely. Can't recommend enough.
One of, if not, my favourite sandwich shops in the city. The quality of the bread is outstanding, made in house. Their signature sauce is delish, & the fries make a great side. A go-to!
Excellente sandwicherie à Montréal. Définitivement, un incontournable!! De plus, nous avons été très bien accueilli par Louis qui était engagé à rendre notre visite mémorable. Merci pour son accueil chaleureux, sa serviabilité & sa bonne humeur. Nous reviendrons c'est certains.

The best sandwich in Montreal but also possibly in the Province (not hyperbole). Whether you live in the city or are visiting, a life lived without trying one of these sandwiches is one that hasn't been lived at all.
Quand on m'a parlé d'un restaurant de sandwich exceptionnel, je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose. Cependant, c'était une très bonne surprise & les sandwiches sont, selon moi, les meilleurs de la ville avec un goût exceptionnel !
Le personnel est vraiment au top, à l'écoute & serviable ! Je recommande à n'importe quel moment de la journée (ou de la soirée) !

my favourite place in montreal. visited the city twice now as my partner is here for a year & kawha's falafel sandwich is all i can think about inbetween visits. so so so good, the freshest & most yummy bread, everything just 10/10.
Nous avons pris deux sandwichs (poulet panko & Kebab) & ils étaient tous les deux délicieux. Les ingrédients sont frais, goûteux & le pain fait minutes est excellent.
Le service était super. Ma fille de 14 mois faisait des sourires & des'bye-bye' au personnel & ils lui ont rendu chaque sourire & ont interagi avec elle. Je partageait mon plat avec elle mais ils lui ont emmené un mini sandwich juste pour elle ce qui était une belle attention.
Nous allons revenir lorsque nous reviendrons en ville❤?
La nourriture est très bonne avec une quantité généreuse de protéines pour tout les goûts & un excellent prix ... Le restaurant offre des sandwichs, repas rapides & cafés ...
Stopped by to warm up & grabbed a hot chocolate. It took quite a while to prepare, & when it finally arrived, it was barely warm & tasted terrible. The place itself was surprisingly cold, which made the whole experience even worse. Very disappointed - definitely would not recommend.
