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.
i knew not to order tawouk sando because ive seen the precooked chicken that they have piled up on the corner of the grill to make it easier to prep, so i ordered the batata sandwich. The rudest cashier said that it would take 5 minutes so youd think that they're frying a fresh batch of potatoes, & even then it was somehow the coldest sandwich on earth 🤷🏻?♀? which is very odd given that the customer service is god awful with probably the rudest lady on the register. Maybe it wouldve been waranted because they were so busy & customer service is tough, but it was just me & two other customers at the store, whom have already received their food. Begs the question as to why they have 5-6 staff members on the floor just to serve cold cold food, that you wait for, with the added horrible customer service?
I grew up near Bliss St in Lebanon where Malak El Tawouk is a DELICIOUS go-to! The first time this Malak El Tawouk location opened in Montreal my fiancé & I made the drive from Ottawa to go try it & it was so delicious we brought back sandwiches for the whole family!!! & the place was packed! We just went back again yesterday, very excited for a taste of home, & it was so incredibly disappointing. Did not taste the same at all. It is now an edible chicken sandwich. Very meh. Very mediocre. But is definitely NOT Malak el Tawouk anymore. We will wait until our next trip to Lebanon to have it again on Bliss St because this definitely isn't it 👎
Great experience all around. Made fresh to order & staff was very nice. This is traditional way to eat Lebanese Tawouk, recommend everyone to try it. We got the original Tawouk, it was pretty good & good portion. Also, in addition to washroom they have a sink in eating area to wash your hands quickly.
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.

I ordered the Tawouk Special & it was delicious. There's still a bit of room for improvement, but overall my experience was very good & could be even better next time.
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 🌞
