| - First time here, went with group of 6. We made reservations, and were seated after a slight wait. Very small/cozy place. Food was excellent, especially appreciated how they had a variety of chicken parts, though no chicken tail sadly. Prices are fair for dt Montreal, and considering the quality. Seasoning was very good and there was a nice smoky char from the grill. Water was refilled adequately.
Truffle kaarage and sweet potato: very good, chicken was excellent, crisp, moist, and with a tangy, almost citrusy drizzle, potato balls was crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior.
Pork belly: well seasoned. Tasty but had slightly texture since it cooled down before I got a chance to eat it
Gizzard: very tasty but slightly too tough, but very good flavor and unique texture
Meatball: meh. Weird sponge texture
Chicken wing: very yummy! Chicken wings are hard to screw up
Chicken and leek: leeks slightly over charred, but good caramelized flavors and tender texture
Lamb: very heavy cumin flavor. A bit less might be better but was still tender and quite good
Chicken breast: dry. Didn't like
Chicken thigh: good. Hard to mess up.
Vegetarian platter looked pretty good, nice variety.
Waitstaff was not very professional, making a grimace of exasperation when we asked before ordering to split checks. She also stated that tips were included (4 of us heard this), but denied this when later asked while paying.
Our food came at different times and it was awkward waiting to start eating as our skewers were cold by the time others had gotten their order. Also, their wifi was nonfunctional this night, so no music, and worse, cash only payment...at least they had an atm thank goodness.
