J'ai découvert ce restaurant il y a 2 ans maintenant, & chaque fois que je voyage, je n'ai qu'une hâte : rentrer à Montréal pour manger un délicieux shawarma pita. C'est définitivement mon restaurant préféré. Que ce soit pour la cuisine, le service, l'ambiance, tout y est parfait. On y est tellement bien accueilli qu'on n'a jamais envie de repartir.
