Food was perfection, the service was lovely. It's a small place for dine in, but very nice. Definitely recommend!

High Google ratings sent us to this place on our recent trip to Montreal, & we are so glad it did. It doesn't looks like your typical shawarma place but the food is killer. They were able to provide quick service for a group of 5 for a dine in order & everything was amazing, right from falafel platter to the pita sandwiches. Highly recommended. 💯

Pros: the owners are incredibly friendly, there's nice Amharic music playing in the background, the food is visually appealing, & ingredients seem fresh.

Cons: I was recommended the chicken Sheed Pita which was unfortunately dry/tough & lacked flavor. I'm Ethiopian & saw they had berbere spice in the kitchen, so thought it would be on the sandwich, but I tasted nothing.

I'm sure they have other amazing options on the menu, but if you're a traveler like me, choose a different item.

I usually order takeout but eating in is fine if you can find a seat. The food is spectacular & truly one of my favorite places to eat in Montreal (which is saying a lot).
So many options, catering to most dietary restrictions, & they make the food in front of you quite quickly!
Highly recommend for anyone craving Mediterranean-influenced food.

Everyone I go, I take the Sabich. While being recommended practically every dish, I cannot convince myself to skip the Sabich. One of the best I ever ate, & the satisfaction of the taste follows several hours after eating (at least for me 😅)
