I’m kicking myself for not trying this place sooner because they have so many great items on the menu. We stopped here so that I could grab some food to go. The YQB airport has an extremely limited selection of food. The owner was very nice. She packed some to-go utensils. I ordered the beef skewer sandwich and a side of plantains. The plantains were ripe and sweet. The beef in the sandwich was tender and nicely seasoned. The sauce had a bit of a kick to it but not too spicy at all. Prices were fair. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating and a color decor all around.

Loved the food. Everything we tried was amazing. It was really packed and place is small. But it was worth the wait. And its halal!

Got unlucky with the fish on a busy Sunday night during the labour day long weekend. Waited 40 mins in our seat without water; food arrived 75 mins later. The food quality turned out fine. Fish was very charred but not flavourful. I’d recommend the roasted chicken if you decided to dine here. Marinated well. Juicy on the dark meat; white meat was cooked well.

We came in late and from out of country. A little language confusion, completely our fault, but when the food came, delicious!! Chik/beef kabobs, salad, fries. The rice looked really good too. This place keeps pretty busy for good reason. Definitely recommend!

Excellent drop-in for an afternoon meal. Service fast and food was delicious even for picky teenagers. Poutine was particularly good, and generously large.

Amazing food taste!!! Foods are HALAL as well. The time we went there, they were crazy busy, we had to wait over an hour for the food. HAOUA was very friendly and smart enough to take care of our group. Every staff were super busy, so there's no complain about them. Would be more smooth if they were proper staffed. Beef and Chicken skewer were amazing. The lamb chops were delicious as well. However, the Grilled Tilapia was nothing crazy. Overall, its a good place. Would recommend to go there with reservation as there's not many sitting arrangment (around 25 people).

Obsessed with their chicken skewers! One of the best places in Quebec to get some protein. We tried their steak and chicken platter with rice pilaf and fries. It was so good we back the next day for more.

Real good. The meat was well seasoned with a nice char and the seabass was crisp and clean tasting. Pro tip, ask for pepper sauce if you like things spicy. The sides were awesome too. seasoned rice went well with the meat, the salad was high quality and healthy and the plantains were crispy and sweet. Hit this spot up and skip the bland/overpriced touristy spots.
