Getting bad service is one thing but if my friend leaves a bad review in consequence, to then be harassed at our table by the “manager” to delete the review is just disgusting. Luckily we had Snapchat open and got to record this. If they spent the same energy to give good service like they did to check their reviews and quickly rush to our table maybe your restaurant wouldn’t be empty lunchtime on a weekend. Chicken was tasteless. Fries were not properly fried. 5 people working and not a single clean table, we had to get napkins and clean ourselves for our group to enjoy a simple lunch. If it wasn’t for Bossa being full I’d never have wasted my money here

Bland food, cheap staff and dirty tables

“Bland” is certainly not how our food is usually described, but taste is subjective. Regarding the tables, during particularly busy periods, our team may not always have the opportunity to clean them immediately. A simple request to a team member is all it takes, and they'll be happy to help. As for your comment about our staff being “cheap,” we find that characterization completely inappropriate. Constructive criticism is always welcome, Thank you for your visit anyway.

Cheap owners and cheaper staff, need to pay for ketchup because the fries only come with enough to eat 5-10 pieces of fries

Ketchup is free with our house sauce cup, and additional sauce portions are $1. Our pricing is transparent and clearly indicated on our menu.

Wants to charge me 1$ for a single packet of ketchup are you normal? We are two people eating two combos and you want us to share the same 1oz cup of sauce are you ok in the head?

Just to clarify, each combo comes with its own sauces, so there's no need to share a single cup between two people. Ketchup is free with our house sauce cup, and additional sauce portions are $1. Our pricing is transparent and clearly indicated on our menu.

Staff was sweet! Small interior but the sandwich was insane. I got the poulet panko sandwich. Great portion size but a bit on the expensive side. Came up to around $15 for just the sandwich however, worth it especially because everything is made fresh. Will definitely go back!

Wanted to check it out this , wanted to know why is this place so special. First of all, cute cafe! I love it that the kitchen is visible. You get to see how fresh the bread is made. My boyfriend and I shared a panko chicken and beef/lamb kebab sandwiches. The chicken sandwich was out of the world. Awesome and warm bread. Chicken well cooked and seasoned and the salad, plus the sauce combined, it was a blast of delicious explosions of taste. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing for the kebab sandwich. The salad and sauce inside was good, but for the meat, I expected a true kebab, but it was shredded meat. It was supposed to beef and lamb but it tasted more beef. The meat was dry, pasty, and unflavored. Anyway, I will definitely come back and have the chicken again.

Thank you for your feedback. We reviewed the camera footage to better understand what happened during your visit. From the moment you placed your order, it took approximately 15 minutes in total — including the preparation of the two orders ahead of yours. Nothing was forgotten. Your sandwich was made with bread baked fresh for you, which took about 4–5 minutes, and fried chicken cooked fresh for your order — as well as for the orders that came after yours — with a cooking time of precisely 8 minutes. Some team members were on their meal break. When they were needed to prepare and complete the orders, including yours, they promptly stepped in and did what needed to be done. We don’t pressure our team to constantly look busy for the sake of appearances. We trust our people to take their breaks when appropriate and to step in when needed — and that is exactly what happened that evening. We also do not provide table service, especially for takeout orders. Your order was to be picked up once ready, as is the case at every Kahwa. We’re always open to constructive feedback, but after reviewing what happened, we also feel it’s important to stand behind our team when the facts don’t quite match the experience being described. Sa77a kho!

We don’t make “simple sandwiches.” Sorry if preparing everything fresh to order feels too long. If you’re looking for McDonald’s, you’re at the wrong place. 😉

This was my second time visiting this falafel restaurant, and once again, I was very happy with my experience! The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and clean, and the portions are generous. Everything tasted great and was well prepared. The place itself is lovely, comfortable, and has a nice atmosphere. The staff are also very welcoming, friendly, and kind, which makes the experience even better. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves good falafel and fresh, tasty food. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should definitely give it a try—you won’t be disappointed! I’ll definitely be coming back again. ❤️ Yasmeen

Amazing sandwiches and coffee. Their Kebab Libre is a winner, not stingy on the meat, the bread is fresh and tasty, the right amount of sauce and spice. Great service, rapidly served. Will be back.

I’m probably here like once a week cause their sandos are so good but I gotta give them props for something incredibly simple that not everyone does when working with food: I saw the employees finish their break and then WASH their hands before touching the food. Also they are incredibly nice. I feel sorry that their kitchen is 10,000° in the summer - not sure how they survive!

My 3rd time coming to Montreal and this is hands down the best place for sandwiches, I'd even say it's WAAAAAY more fresher than subway. Everyone back at home in Sudbury Ontario NEEDS to come to Montreal and try the best sandwich to ever exist in all of Canada.

Had le poulet panko, was one of the better sandwiches I've had. The portion was decent for the price. Had with the fries, fries were good. The wait time wasn't long either. The ambience is nice, ample amount of seating.

i’ve had such a lovely experience, not only was the food succulent but they had the customer service to back it up. at first i was kind of surprised that my order hadn’t been started yet even though i was the only one there and i saw no one work but then a kind gentleman explained that the reason they hadn’t started on it yet is that they were waiting for the bread which then made sense. im highly appreciative of that polite employee letting me know about the delay and the reason behind it, will 100% be coming back

The food is amazing but lately every time I’ve come they are incredibly slow and not providing any warning before or when ordering. I’m currently here and have been waiting over 30 minutes for 1 sandwich for takeout. There were maybe 2 or 3 orders ahead of mine. I’m watching the guys behind the counter talking and not having any sense or urgency whatsoever. No one has acknowledged how long it’s taking and honestly I kinda think this is unacceptable.

I am not a sandwich person… and yet I keep coming back here for the fried chicken sandwich. That’s how good it is. The chicken is fantastic, the bread is baked fresh in-house, and the whole sandwich is just ridiculously good. It’s one of those meals that you start craving out of nowhere. Now for my one (very passionate) complaint: the sauce policy. If I want sauce on the side, I have no problem paying the extra dollar. That’s not the issue. The issue is that they refuse to give you a different sauce than the one that’s supposed to come with your sandwich—even if you’re paying for it. So you’re telling me I can buy extra sauce… but only if it’s the “approved” sauce for my sandwich? Make it make sense. It’s such an oddly restrictive policy for something so simple. Let people pay for the sauce they want! It seems like such an easy way to make customers happier. That said, the sandwich is so unbelievably good that I continue to come back anyway, despite rolling my eyes at the sauce situation every single time. Please free the sauces. Your sandwiches deserve it.
