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. 💯

Toujours souriants & de bonne humeur, les employés offrent une expérience amicale & mémorable. La nourriture est toujours cuisiné avec soins & avec le soucis du détail. Tout est frais & délicieux. Pour ma part, je prends presque toujours le sandwich saheed pita & j'en reve la nuit tellement c'est bon. En plus les prix sont très abordables. Merci d'exister !

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 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.
