Que c'est BON !!! Meilleur kebab & falafel de Montréal sans aucun doute possible. C'est frais, c'est parfumé. La musique est cool. Le service est souriant ! Venez & mangez avec un sourire que vous ramènerez à la maison.

A small, plant filled restaurant that is big on flavour. I love the Kebab bowl, it's so tasty with fresh veggies & well seasoned beef. The pickles are a surprise every time but they work. The great music & friendly staff make for a very pleasant experience.

If you're into Mediterranean food, this is the spot! They claim to have the best falafel in Montreal-& it's true 😁.
I also loved the kebab. The ingredients were super fresh, the staff were friendly, & the freshly baked bread was amazing. Probably the best & freshest pitas I've had in Montreal.
Totally worth the price!

The lemonade they recommended was good-nice & sour-but a bit too sweet for our taste 😅.

Took the sheed & kebab sandwiches with fries(not a fan of the fries) & a side of falafels. Everything was delicious but the falafels were outstanding! The place is small & there was no AC but the service was the food make it worth it! ( can get crowded)

Delicieux! Je recommande le pita kebab & l'entrée des falafels avec les 3 sauces, parmi les meilleurs falafels de Montreal.
