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

I'm always on the lookout for that amazing taste of pita from Israel, & I've recently discovered this place that comes close. I heard the owner lived in Israel, which might explain the authentic flavour. I recommend this place.
