Reviews highlight Malak Al Tawouk as a go to for delicious Lebanese fast food with authentic flavors, especially the tawouk sandwiches and chicken shawarma, backed by generous portions and solid value. The service is repeatedly described as fast and friendly, and the staff as welcoming, with many visits noting a clean, well organized restaurant and a lively, homey vibe. While most praise the quality and consistency, a few observations mention occasional slower service, variability in heat or freshness, and occasional menu items that don't meet expectations, but the overall sentiment is highly positive and many would return for the same experience.
Just had my first sandwich here & it tasted SO good. Very similar to its authentic Lebanese flavours. It made me very happy! The place is super clean, the staff is kind & helpful even the music was nice. Happy to see someone share the delicious flavours of Lebanon with the people of Montreal who always appreciate them. Also, the prices are quite reasonable, which is nice to have these days.
Yesterday we made a 2 hour & a half trip to Montreal to taste the Lebanese Tawouk at the new Malak AL Tawouk location. Unfortunately, I didn't think about getting some extra sandwiches for later 😞. Fortunately, I can see there is still hope for a good Lebanese food taste in Canada. There is hope for good food in Canada. Malak AL Tawouk was amazing, I hope you come our way to Ottawa.
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!
I respect the chain's authenticity, but it seems the flavors differ from its counterparts in Lebanon ( based on personal experience) & Dubai, according to what I've heard from friends who tried it there. To be fair, the place maintains cleanliness, & this extends to both the sandwiches & their components. People that work there are super nice & helpful. When you order a sandwich, expect it to come with an ample serving of coleslaw tucked between two layers of bread or pita, a modest amount of cheese, & the Tawouk. On a scale, I'd give the Tawouk sandwich a 6 out of 10. The reason being, it's heavy on the coleslaw & bread, while sparing on the cheese, & the chicken, when tasted on its own, lacks sufficient seasoning. While I'd suggest giving it a try, it's not something I find myself longing for.

The sandwich was nothing special. It tasted mostly like bread & garlic. The chicken was very bland & the sandwich wasn't toasted enough. One large sandwich is pretty filling though.
Okay hear me outttt It's a pretty damn good sandwich, but I have to compare it to Omnivore & both my fiancé & I agreed that Omnivore makes the best shish tawok sandwich in the region. The garlic sauce is unreal, love the fries. Staff is friendly. Overall 4.5/5!
A fast food restaurant is often just a place to grab a quick bite to go. This place is different for so many Lebanese people in Montreal. It takes us back to a hot summer day where we were hungry & craving a shish taouk sandwich. The food : very generous with all the ingredients. There's a hearty portion of chicken in the sandwich, which in itself is colossal. The service is excellent & the whole team makes you feel welcome. I'm guessing this is a family run operation for now because of the cohesion of the team & how they all work in sync. I hope they keep it up as time passes by. I can't wait for them to expand their menu to everything they are supposed to be offering, but it's insanely busy now. Sticking to shish taouk makes sense for the time being.
Amazing experience. I never ate at Malak al tawouk in Lebanon but my friends told me it tastes the same. We tried the first time & food was delicious. & we ended up coming the week after too. The place was crowded on both times so we had to take out. Service was great, very welcoming & nice staff. Although there is long line but they are fairly fast. The size of the sandwich is decent, one large could be more than enough ( even the medium one is decent) the prices are really reasonable. My only comment is My friend had the Special sandwich with cheese & turkey in it, she barely tasted the turkey. I had the one with cheese, it's good but I would like & expect to have more cheese in the sandwich. But overall great food great staff great experience, I would definitely come back again & again. I hope you keep same quality! Recommended!!
