| - You must try this place for amazing Lebanese grilled meat sandwiches at an insanely cheap price that are definitely worth driving out of the city for.
There's a small parking lot for the place, and there's even a bathroom in the back that they'll let you use if needed. When you walk in, there's a sort of market section with some prepared foods and refrigerated/frozen things (balkava, hummus, pitas, etc), and there's also a counter that's open to the kitchen.
We went around 11am, and they were just opening up. A lot of locals who seemed to know the owners well came in and out picking up prepared items, but we were there for the grilled meat sandwiches. Each is about $3-4 (US dollars), and it's stuffed with massive amounts of meat. Many choices are available, and we went with one chicken and one filet mignon. Both were so tender and flavorful, and they were perfectly balanced by the garlicky tahini and pungent parsley. The outside lavash is also charred perfectly so that it's still soft but a bit crisp.
Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and I love how it's a lesser known family operated place. This will be the first place I go to on my next trip to Montreal.
