Before I start, I would like to say that if I could rate this place 0 Stars, I WOULDI went with my family and was SEVERELY disappointed. The menu advertises food that they do not even sell. When we went to order the staff were arguing while customers were waiting in line.The food portion and quality did NOT match the price. I ordered a burger that was literally KIDS MEAL SIZED for a high price, not worth the price or the visit.If you are looking for good food or a good experience do NOT GO HERE.

Shawarma wraps: 7/10 - Staff: 10/10 - Place: 6/10Details: shawarma wraps are ok, staff are friendly as well. The place definitely needs some tidy up.

We ordered several platters in advance for a staff meal and it was excellent!! The service was impeccable, the plates packed full and delicious. Everything was ready on time and boxed up so we could easily take it all to go. I would highly recommend them for group meals as well as a fast delicious meal.

Pita bread was stale and hard, chicken was extremely dry, pretty terrible shawarma overall.

We will never go back after our experience today. After 15 years, my relationship with Al Taib on Maissoneueve is over.
Late night food part two- Al-Taib. Fried chicken strips, cauliflower, and one hot pepper. $6.35, buffet by weight. Chicken was enh but the breading was nice and the rest was good.

I wanted pho from the shop next door but it was closed so I decided to go with a mixed grilled meat plate. I never usually have a good experience with these places because the food is usually not fresh. I had the Al-Taib platter and as expected it wasn’t delicious. The kofte was dry; while the beef and chicken were not dry, they were lukewarm. The service was good and pushed the overall experience to a three. I tried two of their salads as well as the falafel. Average at best is my verdict. The rice and potatoes were blah. Food like this needs to be made to order to be tasty but impractical for swift service. At $17 usd, current exchange rate, it was a good deal for the amount of food I received.

Since moving to the city a year ago, this place has been my most frequented food spot. It says 24 hours but they tend to close for a few hours after 5am, close enough though. Their pizza is impressive, some of the best in the area. I’m just as much of a fan of their Manakeesh, I’ve tried their various baked pastries/pies as well. They have a self-serve area that is more salads than hot food, the salads are made fresh throughout the day and there is regularly new types. Wide variety of beverages also. Much more to offer on the savory side than the sweet side here so don’t be thrown off by the bakery title. There is an unglamorous space upstairs to eat as well if needed. Service here isn’t the best, but with how many people they serve I can understand.
Best service and food i’ve ever
