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.
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.
As its name suggests, Malak Al Tawouk truly deserves to be called the King of Tawouk. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm & welcoming atmosphere that instantly transported me back to Lebanon. The food was nothing short of exceptional. The Tawouk was perfectly seasoned & grilled, resulting in juicy, tender chicken that was bursting with flavor. Every bite reminded me of the authentic Lebanese cuisine I grew up with. The accompanying sides, from the crispy fries to the creamy garlic sauce, were the perfect complement to the meal. Whether you're looking for a quick meal or a place to sit down & savor the flavors of Lebanon, Malak Al Tawouk is the place to be. I left completely satisfied & already looking forward to my next visit.
Chicken was in large cubes & not cooked to order. Just sitting in a pile in a corner of the grill drying out while waiting for orders. Fries were not fresh. For a place that's pretty much just about Chicken & fries, this was hugely disspointing. Sandwich is cold mush. Wasn't busy. No excuse for it. This place was WAY overstaffed. What was everyone doing if not cooking food to order? Boustan (2 original locations) is miles better.
I don't what's with all the hype about this restaurant! This is a sandwich you can make at home... Nothing special about it. Normal coleslaw, cavindish fries, ketchup & lightly seasoned chicken.. don't get me wrong it's a good sandwich but nothing special... But the value for what you pay is amay... It's a huge. Sandwich... So that was the best part about it...
I've been twice so far & went for the Tawouk sandwich with cheese both times. The size of the sandwiches is great, the regular is quite large so you don't even need a side of fries. It's a delicious sandwich, although a bit light on the veggies in comparison to Shawarma's which I am more accustomed to. The garlic sauce heavily dominates the flavours of the wrap. This place is pretty popular so the wait times can get long. In consideration of how busy they are, seating availability can be a problem. The place is kept clean though & generally well-run.

I was really disappointed this time. The garlic sauce wasn't tasty & seemed stale. My first visit was much better. However, the chicken & fries were delicious as always. I hope they continue to maintain that quality.
Let me lay it as is , I'm 48 years old grew up with these sandwiches, it's close but not there, like Lebanon. Burger is good, taouk is cold & dry, it was left for too long on the grille, probably cooked in advance as you see in the pic & piled up to keep up with the rush. Soujouk is not edible , has nothing to do with Soujouk, French fries sandwich is ok, but not enough French fries in the sandwich , liver was not bad , I would have left a 3 star but bash is a friend . I left a 4 star. Quality of food needs to be worked on. This is not the Malek Al Taouk we know. Yes, I lay it as is, even if it's a friend's place... sorry Bash. I know you take pride in your restaurants . This needs work.
The fries sandwich is a guilty pleasure that reminds me of my childhood & it is amazing, I thought I was bias but my boyfriend is Canadian & he fell in love with that simple sandwich! A MUST TRY!! The special tawouk tastes just like Lebanon, full of flavour super well rolled. Last picture is to show how hygienic they actually are!
Some of the best toom (outside of homemade) I have had! The sandwiches are so big, go for the small unless you plan on having left overs. The staff was friendly & helpful. The seating was limited at the time we went, but it's such an easy thing to eat on the go! I will be coming back in the near future! Their original chicken is the highly recommended!
The Lebanese beef burger is bigger than my face. It is made up of exclusive tasty onions, salad chou & a thick beef patty. It is served with a large portion of fries & cola, a total trio of $15. The fries paired with Lebanese Toum , the strong Lebanese flavor is here !
I recently grabbed a quick bite at Malak Al Tawouk, & let me tell you, it was a fantastic experience! The chicken plate was simply divine - I don't even need to elaborate further, it speaks for itself. But what truly impressed me was the generosity of the staff. They went above & beyond by giving me extra garlic for free, which made my meal even more flavorful. It's the little touches like this that make a big difference. The staff themselves were incredibly friendly & always smiling, creating a warm & welcoming atmosphere. They truly made me feel like a valued customer. Overall, Malak Al Tawouk is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious healthy fast food. I highly recommend it!
First congratulations on your new chain opening in Montréal. Today just got two sandwiches of tawouk they were amazingly delicious! The toum extra on the side is homemade. This whole experience took us back to our childhood in Lebanon. We also ordered the burger libanais to take out on our trip back to Toronto. Very friendly atmosphere & service. We will surely come back!
