I am normally not a fan of grilled chicken; I tend to prefer my bird fried and crispy. This place made me understand that it's not necessary to fry in order to get crispy, delicious chicken.
Heavily spiced (though not at all spicy), the whole leg was served atop a mound of crispy fries that quickly sucked up spices and chicken fat in order to trade their crispiness for flavor-soaked goodness. Even the grilled pita was surprisingly tasty, with a sprinkling of spices that complemented those in the main dish.
I was tempted to remove a star because the place isn't well set up for dining in. Paper plates and plastic silverware don't do justice to the quality of food on offer, and yet I feel like takeaway would cause the meal to lose some of its magic.
But a lack of frills is a small price to pay for this kind of quality. I'm delighted to find this spot right next to Hotel 10, where I tend to stay when I'm in Montreal. I will definitely be back. It might be tomorrow.
