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.

Lives up to the hype! I ordered the kebab pita & the Sabich pita. Although both were good, the kebab pita was my favorite. The mix of flavors & the aroma added to the deliciousness of the pita. Friendly staff too!

One of the best falafels I've ever had. Everything here is fresh & perfectly made. These green steamy falafel balls taste just like they were delivered from the Middle East & their pita is just so tasty. This is a must in Montreal
