We shared a modo assiette de shistaouk and shawarma and both were very good, reasonable size lunch meals. There were options for bigger plates too with more sides. Would recommend.

I've been eating at this restaurant for over 10 - 15 years. There style and take on the chicken shawarma ( shish taouk ) is friggen amazing. From price to portion you are paying for what you ordered!!! To die for , live this place!!!!

Great food. Tasty, fresh and healthy. Not overly salty or fat. Very good alternative to more commercial joints. Also, the service was quick and courteous. During the summer, the small terrasse is definitely a plus!

Stoped with my husband to eat as we were on our way to Mont-Tremblant. Servers where very nice, we ordered two of shawarmas and a poutine. Shawarmas where very small, simple, very bland and lacking of flavour. Poutine was very good. We found the food expensive for what is worth. Also the restaurant floor was slippery and very dirty.

I use to go to the one in Ste Thérèse because the food is delicious at Arousse, me and my girlfriend hadn't had some in a while so we drove 45 minutes specifically to eat there; I'd do it every single day for food this good, I always have the wrap with fries and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend

**this was a 5 star review before - I just want this to be read by the owners I dont know if I had a bad day, but the food took an hour to receive (there were 6 of us in the restaurant around dinner time), much smaller portions than usual and what can I say about it? atmosphere... All along, we heard a lady (owner?) yell/borderline insult a young man saying I always do your job its always poorly done hurry up there at 3:30. C It was very unpleasant and uncomfortable, in short, he lacked professionalism that day and unfortunately, we are not interested in returning soon.

The best shich taouk Ive eaten in my life. The chicken was tender and not dry at all. The fries are excellent with delicious sauces. A tabbouleh didnt steal the glasses either. The only downside was that in the top of my pita, there was only chicken and it was only in the second half of the sandwich that I could taste the turnips and tomatoes. But it was still excellent. Kid-friendliness: There were some small games and drawing possibilities.

Small poutine for the price and really not much smoked meat, but the taste of the sauce is excellent (best poutine sauce Ive tasted, they probably use red wine, which makes it delicious) and the cheese is great costs. Ha and for the sandwiches, the sandwich was composed of 4 ingredients, chicken, ONE slice of iceberg lettuce, pickled onions and pita sauce. Very bland for a pita, especially at $14.50 per pita and no extra accompaniment... Other than that, good choice of wine, beautiful decor, beautiful, well presented meals and good service.

Delicious! Great idea with their moderate plates, you can have smaller plates to avoid waste (really not that small - I didnt manage to eat everything)!
