| - I had always wanted to eat here, so when I happened to be on Boul. St-Laurent today and hungry, I didn't hesitate. Alas, it was probably not my day. I ordered the shish taouk and when it arrived, I was delighted to see a nicely arranged plate of char grilled chicken, rice and coleslaw, but was quickly dismayed to to realize that the chicken was way too charred to my liking. I could not taste the spices, although I was sure that had it not been so overcooked, it would have tasted fantastic. I asked the waitress if it was normal for the chicken to be like that and she said that it was, explaining that it was char grilled. I left it at that. When it came to pay time, she asked me if everything was okay, so I told her that I didn't like my chicken for the above reason. She told me that she would pass on the comment to the kitchen and gave me a 10% discount on my bill, so that was a nice gesture on her part. I think I'd give them a second chance, given that I really like the casual, cosy set-up of the place and that most of the reviews here are glowingly positive, though I probably won't order the chicken again.
