Good prices and delicious food

I had the shish taouk with potatoes and it was wonderful! My omni boyfriend had the vegan shawarma poutine, he really enjoyed it too.
Besides the food, there is a small grocery section.

Pros: Delicious, Lots of options

Cons: Far from public transit

Awesome discovery

Really good food and service. If you crave some shawarma or falafel, this is the place. They also have vegan baklavas which is amazing.
I really love going there, no fuss, and everything i've tried so far is delicious.

Pros: Awesome service, Delicious food, Baklavas

Cons: The place itself is a bit dull

I had a shawarma plate and I was absolutely delicious. I will definitively go back!
Staff was nice too and they also sell vegetarian and vegan items. A good option when in the Jean Talon neighborhood!

Sooo good!

I still haven’t been able to get to the restaurant, but I have ordered multiple times through UberEats and it’s been delicious every time.

Homemade and delicious

We ordered the “Shish Taouk” plate and it was perfect. It was a big portion, so you can share it if you’re not too hungry. The service was great.

Sham was a 4* for me

Very friendly staff allowed us to sample a few dishes to help us make up our mind. the tagine texture was a bit to mushy for my liking. the swatma was excellent!
I loved the food but would have also liked a bit more separation to my plates I felt it was all thrown on top of eachother and missed some finess or care

Pros: friendly staff, many options , fast counter service

Cons: bathroom was missing toilet paper and very tiny. , everything was really thrown together in a heap

Just spot on

Quite a variety of options for combining all sorts of fake meat, which they truly mastered, with plenty of salad / rice / side-dish options. Their General Tao dish is on a different level. Vegan poutine available in multiple options, too. Very welcoming staff / owners. Will remember your face and greet you with genuine warmth when you come next time. Amazing Syrian desserts at the counter

Mon coup de coeur 2018 !

J'adore ce restaurant !
C'est définitivement mon coup de cœur 2018. Super abordable et une nourriture de qualité numéro 1.
C'est la meilleure poutine ''vegan'' que je connaisse, les proétines à base de champignons sont incroyables !
Je suggère ce restaurant sans gêne.
Merci aux propriétaires !

Best Vegan Place in Montreal!

Wow, wow, wow! This was our favorite place in Montreal! All of the food had amazing flavors. We can't wait to go back and try more food!

It is a store with a vegan restaurant inside. The store is vegetarian. Be careful we purchased a Nai drink that had honey in it. It's a good size, very clean and comfortable. If you eat there, you pay after you are done eating. The plates can be set on top of the trash.

The staff was super helpful when we walked in. They even gave us samples. The owner said the vegan meat is made from soy and mushrooms.

We both got the plate which includes your choice of 2 vegan meats, large salad with dressing and rice.

Vegan meat
Shwarma: Superb! Great flavor and texture

General Tsao: based on the reviews this is also a favorite, but I found it a bit chewy. Otherwise it was really good.

Lighter meat behind the Shwarma: I don't recal the name but this was my favorite. Tender, not dry and full of flavor.

Yellow Rice: the yellow rice was really good. It also had vegetables in it.

Salad: the salad was really fresh and had a lot of variety

Salad dressing: It tasted like creamy tahini dressing. I really liked it which was a surprise because I don't generally like tahini dressings.

The portion sizes were really large and everything was delicious.

Parking: street parking only

Pros: Great portions, superb staff, well maintained, The restaurant is 100% vegan

Cons: The store is not 100% vegan

Leurs fausses viandes ou leurs falafels sont excellents. Les assiettes sont généreuses! Les proprios sont très gentils. 11$ l'assiette.

Pros: Quasi tout vegan, très bon, beaucoup de choix.

Delicious and tasteful

From shish taouk to shawarma, general tao or falafel, you can get a great tasteful dish whatever you order. It's a generous portion and they even help you decide which mock meat to choose from by tasting them. There's a lot of different hummus savors and it's also a place you can buy products.

Pros: Excellent food, Good value, Friendly

Healthy and Flavorful Middle Eastern Food

Another great spot to eat at when going to the Jean-Talon market.

I have tried two different dishes so far and they were all delicious. The vegan meats are excellent and make you want to go back for more, the rice is well seasoned, the garlic sauce is yummy and the salads are much fresher and wholesome than what you find at Amir and Basha.

Pros: Lots of options, Great service
