Kanepicerie feels like a small market that also serves food, delivering authentic West African flavors with plantain and biscuits that receive praise, and the dishes are generally delicious, well prepared, and not overly oily or spicy. The space has no seating and operates mainly for takeout, with limited staff that can make service slow; calling ahead is advised to avoid waiting. Goat with rice and plantain is flavorful with tender meat, the lamb plate offers decent value though portions could be larger, and beignets are cheap and tasty. Service varies from friendly and attentive to brisk or distracted, and some guests note lapses like food being left on the counter or not being notified when ready. Overall, Kanepicerie delivers solid, warming options for a quick West African fix and is best enjoyed as a takeout experience with reasonable prices and good flavors.
Si vous comptez commander via Uber Eats ou DoorDash, c'est votre signe pour ne pas commander du tout dans ce restaurant.
J'avais commandé de la chèvre avec des bananes plantain, & je n'ai jamais reçu les bananes plantain.(ce n'est pas la première fois)
En plus de ça, le service est vraiment pas professionnel. J'ai appelé le restaurant, la personne m'a fait attendre plusieurs minutes au téléphone pour finalement raccrocher. J'ai essayé de rappeler plusieurs fois, sans aucune réponse.
Franchement, très mauvaise expérience.
I always eat the thiep bou yap here with extra spicy sauce sooo fragrant & delicious, ive been eating it since 2021 ! Their beef samosas are also excellent
This is a small marketplace that also serves food which makes it really authentic. The plantain & biscuits are very good. It's hard to judge the service as it's not a restaurant but there are few employees which makes a lot of things take time. The best is to call in advance if you don't you might have to wait a bit.
There are no seatings so everything has to be to go. It's worth a try if you're looking for some west African food but expect to call in advance & go there only for pickups.
Saw on google review is very extreme two side so that's why I'm here. But the food is really suprise me! I get chicken leg with rice & fried banana. Chicken leg is crispy outside but juicy inside! The girl who bring me food is kind & friendly.
From my experience, when you find a takeout place in a small market like this, it's usually super authentic & this was no exception. I went for the lamb plate. For the price it was decent value, could have been a couple more chunks of meat but wouldn't call the meat portion stingy either. The meat was very nicely seasoned & well-textured. Went very nice with the plantain & the rice. I tried the beignets too which are delicious & pretty cheap at 50 cents each. A little bit of salad would have completed the plate I feel. There is no seating here so no points for atmosphere. Service didn't really win me over either. I was waiting outside as the food was being made. I figured the girl would let me know once the food was ready. But instead she just left it on the counter & started using her phone until I came in to check on my own. It probably wasn't long but the polite thing to have done would have been to notify me. Other than that she was not particularly rude, just lacked care in her service.
'Une immersion savoureuse dans la cuisine ouest-africaine'
J'ai récemment découvert Kanépicerie & ce fut une expérience culinaire mémorable. Le personnel est accueillant & chaleureux, prêt à guider les novices à travers le menu riche en saveurs.
En entrée, les samoussas au boeuf halal étaient croustillants & bien assaisonnés. J'ai ensuite dégusté une assiette de chèvre avec riz, où la viande était tendre & savoureuse. Le jus de gingembre maison a parfaitement complété le repas.
L'ambiance du restaurant est conviviale, avec une décoration qui évoque les traditions africaines. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix raisonnables, offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
En somme, Kanépicerie est une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui souhaitent explorer la richesse de la cuisine africaine à Montréal.
The grilled chicken is dry & not juicy. It does not taste seasoned. It tastes like they don't put spice on it or some seasoning. It seems like they just take it out of the freezer & put it on the grill. They need to work on the quality of their grilled chicken & make sure it's well seasoned.
