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.
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.
Soooo good. We had the bowl versions of the garlic chicken sandwich & the falafel salad & everything was so fresh, tasty, & generous portions. The staff were also super nice & helpful. Will absolutely be back.
Absolutely mouth-watering & savoury food! A wonderful delight & unforgettable experience. You'll want to eat their everyday with their affordable prices & tasty options! Also a must to try their falafels even as a side. Highly recommended spot!
It is one of the best Middle Eastern sandwich places in Montreal. The food is always fresh & tasty. If you are around Plateau, & you are craving for falafel, hummus, & shawarma, sure give it a try.
