I love their chicken, it’s the best charcoal chicken. Farouge fahen. It’s like in Lebanon. Taste very good, very juicy, and very healthy. Hummus is the best and fries are perfect too. I ate there for 26 years.

I travelled an hour to get here and would do it again in a heartbeat, as it is surely the best grilled chicken I have had in Montreal. Unassuming on the outside, this restaurant is a treasure within. I ordered the half chicken with all the accompaniments (pita bread, fries, salad, and of course garlic sauce). It was freshly grilled and came out hot, juicy, and with crispy skin. The spices used are top notch, and the combo of chicken with fries and garlic sauce is unmatched. Owner is a nice guy too, who knows his stuff after doing this for 30 years. Highly recommend if you're in Cartierville, and certainly worth the trip if you're not.
