rev:text	Went there early with the family on a Ramadan Saturday evening (this restaurant is obviously Arabic and possibly Muslim owned). Hence it was very busy. It was our first time there and simply waited next to the entrance to be seated. We were told by a passing waitress to go to the back of the restaurant and order our food there. We obediently did so and stood in line next to the fresh fish and seafood counter. There are no menu or prices anywhere in sight. Hence when you get to the counter they ask you what fish or seafood you want, how much of it and how you want it cooked (grilled or fried are the only options). There were 4 of us ordering and every single time the guy tried to put more than what we ordered or give us a larger fish than we pointed to. We were then given a choice of steamed vegetables, rice, potato wedges or salad as side dishes. They gave us a number on a plastic card and told us to go get a table. We headed back to the seating area not knowing whether to just grab a free table or wait for someone to seat us. A waitress saw us and showed us to a free table. Within less than a minute another waiter/manager came and told us we couldn't sit there as we had no reservations and to go stand in line across from the ordering counter to get a table. There were 5 or 6 persons already waiting. It turned out they were all waiting for take out (this may have been a hint). Approximately 5 irritating minutes later the waiter/manager signaled us to come and sit at the exact same damn table we were moved away from. When I told him their process didn't make much sense and was rather irritating he didn't seem to give a rats ass. Thankfully the food started to arrive quickly. Unfortunately it probably took about 25-30 min. to get all of the plates. Hence some of us were almost finished eating and others just starting. The tables are quite small and we had to juggle the food from plate to plate so that it would all fit. When we asked for more lemon or water it took 10 to 15 minutes to get them. It was obvious they were severely understaffed when the restaurant was about 90% full. Now the good part. Every dish was delicious. The 2 fish were very fresh and grilled to perfection. The fried calamari was amazing and the sautéed shrimps nicely seasoned, cooked to perfection and very tasty. As for the side dishes, as noted by other reviewers the potato wedges are heavenly. We actually considered ordering some to go despite the huge quantity they had served us already. The salad was crisp and fresh and came with a wonderful dressing on the side. The steamed veggies, that also came in a very generous portion, were cooked perfectly. When we apprehensively asked for the bill we were relieved and very pleasantly surprised. The prices were not only fair they were actually on the cheap side. With all the food and beverages we consumed it came out to about 20$ per person. I don't know of any other places to get such large portions of fresh and tasty seafood in Montreal for that kind of money. In summary if you enjoy fresh fish and seafood, and don't mind the process being a bit annoying, this is definitely a good place to eat. I, do mind the process. Hence I may only go back when I get a craving for these potato wedges...cause I just know I will eventually get one.
