First trip to Montreal & this spot is a WINNER! First visit I had the falafel pita. Yum. Second visit because yes, it's that good, I had the chicken shawarma hummus bowl. Perfect mix of flavors. Warm pita. Lovely service.

I just wish this place stays as true & laid-off as it is. In a world where people seem to care more about marketing than good food, the quality of their falafel & their warm service make me feel optimistic about the future of humanity. The Eggplant sandwich, by the way is spectacular.

One of the best falafels I've ever had. Everything here is fresh & perfectly made. These green steamy falafel balls taste just like they were delivered from the Middle East & their pita is just so tasty. This is a must in Montreal

Combining flavors profiles of the Middle East & East Africa is a winning formula for the Tesfa chefs. The food is phenomenal! The falafel is delicious & the shawarmas are mouth watering with some unique flavors not found at other shawarma places. But the real joy of eating here is the incredibly always cheerful & amazing staff waiting to feed you. You must try this place.
