They gave me the wrong order :(

The to-go bag was held closed by staples, so when I opened the bag, the bag split apart & everything dropped to the ground 😬 they need to work on their to go packaging for sure.

The wrong order was tasty though lol

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.

Best falafel pita in Montreal! Falafel are tasty & perfectly crispy, pita is fluffy & warm, & toppings are generous & fresh. & the staff is always so friendly. We'll come back here whenever we're in the plateau. 11/10.
