Malak Al Tawouk is widely praised for flavorful, authentic Lebanese fast food and generous portions. The taouk sandwiches and wraps are frequently highlighted for being juicy and well seasoned, with a standout garlic sauce and affordable prices for the quality. The menu items such as the Lebanese burger are also mentioned positively, and many reviewers say the food tastes like home and evokes Beirut vibes. Service is commonly described as friendly, quick, and accommodating, and the restaurant is often noted as clean and well organized. Fans emphasize the large portions, value for money, and the comforting nature of the meals that keep them returning. A few visits mention slower or inconsistent service during peak times, not always hot or fresh sandwiches, or occasional supply issues, but these are outweighed by praise for taste and overall experience.
Food tasted very bad today, my friend & I both threw it away. Employees there knew & didn't have an explanation. One other time it was too salty & they said basically that yeah we put a lot of salt by mistake & didn't want to throw the chicken away
I had a great experience at Malek Al Taouk in Montreal. The food was fresh & very tasty, especially the chicken shawarma. The service was friendly & very fast. The restaurant was clean & well organized. I will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!
UPDATE:
They changed their toum. Might as well just put mayo. It needs more garlic... it was disappointing last time to say the least.. i really hope they actually maintained quality in lebanon. Dont franchise if youre going to ruin the taste

My all time favorite sandwich in Lebanon now in MTL! Its exactly how i remember it! Tastes amazing, very generous, & budget-friendly, just like back home.
People there are very friendly & truly portray Lebanese hospitality & generosity.

Pro tip: ask for the tawook special, extra garlic & in a ab3a w nos ;)
had a great experience at Malak El Taouk! The food is always fresh, flavorful, & authentic. The chicken taouk sandwich was perfectly grilled, juicy, & well-seasoned, & the garlic sauce is absolutely amazing. The portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get.
The staff were friendly & the service was quick, even during busy hours. The restaurant is clean & well organized, which makes it even more enjoyable.
If you're craving delicious Lebanese food, especially a tasty taouk sandwich, Malak El Taouk is definitely a great choice. I will definitely be coming back!
If you'd like, tell me which location you went to (for example Laval or Montreal) & I can personalize it more for you 😊
malak al tawouk is not just a restaurant... it's a teleportation machine that takes you to 1 place: straight to the heart of beirut. It is what your body craves after a night of partying, dancing, & sheer exhiliration. it is the deep satisfaction of biting into nostalgia, & calming the soul's desire to eat a homecooked meal - to be home. order the fries sandwich & ayran & listen for the sound of your heart singing.
Amazing 4-ppl combo deal. Chicken nuggets were tasty, Chicken wrap was huge, but good. Fries were alright. The mustard sauce was good. Didn't like the garlic 🧄 sauce much but it seems to be a friend's favorite. Overall amazing deal for four people (only 58.99 before tax).
It was nice sitting outside at the patio in summer evening 🌞

Delicious food & great service!
We had the tawouk sandwich with cheese - honestly, it was the best tawouk sandwich we've ever had. The service was also excellent; the staff were very nice & friendly.
Malak Al Tawouk is LITERALLY MY COMFORT FOOD-I order at least once a week. We went the other day & the place was amazing, the staff was amazing, & it was super clean. I can't wait to try everything on the menu, but right now I'm a bit too obsessed with the Classique with cheese. Also my favorite fries in Montreal!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

I must say, a 2/3-star experience based on last night's sandwich & I'm now wondering if that's not overly generous.
Swung by last night after craving a Tawouk sandwich following a 10k run only to be utterly disappointed. I also brought a friend with who has never been before. I'm now finding myself explaining exuberant craving only to get… that.
I distinctly recall the epic bang with which this shop opened last year (I think?). Skewered marinated chicken freshly grilled, wrapped to perfection on a bed of coleslaw & crispy fries… the stuff of legends. Juicy enough for the memory to take hold deep inside your psyche & reappear as uncontrollable cravings after a miserable run. Lol
But that's not what I found last night. The juicy-tender chicken gave way, & a pre-grilled lukewarm rubbery meat took its place. The pita bread wasn't quite as fresh, & the layers of bread stacked up to make chewing more of chore than a delicious culinary experience. Midway through the sandwich, I caught myself unwrapping it to looking into its ingredients. Something definitely changed, & I felt robbed of the promise of that once-delicious memory.
The only saving grace is that the people were unmemorably courteous, & the place was clean. The sandwich is cheap enough to dull the outrage, & I guess the chances of another craving will now have to contend with this below average experience.
Very disappointed Malak Al Tawouk.
That royal title (Al Malak) needs revisiting.
This place offers authentic Albanian street food. The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, & full of rich tastes. The service was friendly & welcoming. Will be coming back when being downtown!
Malak al Tawook - Montreal: My delivery experience was good, food arrived fresh & hot. I must say the packaging is cool "the paper is not edible" 🤣 The fries sandwich is bit dry so make sure to order it Extra Ketchup & you will enjoy it for sure. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My family & I ordered the chicken tawouk sandwiches & French fries. The food was decent, but we had specifically requested that the kids' sandwiches be made without ketchup & pickles. Unfortunately, this detail was missed, & all the sandwiches included both, which we only noticed after leaving the restaurant. It would be helpful if the staff paid closer attention to special instructions. I rated the atmosphere lower due to the limited seating-no tables were available-& the space felt loud & crowded.
