It was late and I had trouble understanding the menu but otherwise, this restaurant is worth every minute of the drive. The food is simple home food and very delicious, comforting and filling. The service was sweet and understanding given my struggle. And the speed of the food’s preparation was no more than 5-8 mins. I’ll be back for many more visits, this place is a new favourite of the family! This place has 5 stars and more! Go and try please… One of Montreal’s most affordable restaurants for the quality of the food!

Very amazing food for such a great price and the quantities was also very big. Workers and servers were incredibly nice and accommodating and overall the restaurant had a very nice homey feel and the food was very traditional. The lady at the front was amazing and really helped a lot even though there was a small language barrier. Overall this is a must try if you are in Montreal the chicken skewers are so juicy!

One of the best Algerian restaurants I've visited! The barbecue meat was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were attentive, welcoming, and provided excellent service. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic Algerian cuisine! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇷🇺

Great authentic Maghrebi food. Customer service was exceptional with fresh ingredients and wonderful variety of food.Love the spices used in the patatoes and rice. It has a homemade authentic taste.
