Awesome! I've read bas reviews here and I can only imagine that it's coming from their Halal competition. I've been to the New York Cart several times..
Things I've read that are completely lies:
-Red sauce is not the same
correction: it's the same and it's damn hot and awesome if you like spicy
-they charge for extra sauce
correction: they never charged me for extra sauce and I ask for a lot on it plus extra packets
-They are twice the price
correction: their large platter is 12.99+tax (just a little under $15). The NYC cart is $7 USD (with the exchange rate that's $9.25 CAD). That's only a few $ more than in the US + you have to consider that we have much higher taxes and that the location is not in a food cart but an actual restaurant). When I heard Halal Guys was coming to Montreal, I expected it to be AT LEAST 2X more and was more than willing to pay for it so I am pleasantly surprised about the current pricing.
-They doesn't taste like the other Halal restaurants in Montreal
Affirmation: You are absolutely right! And it's Soon much better than any other place in MTL, it beat all others I've tried and I can tell you that after living in Montreal for over 15 years.
