Poulet Mankal — Restaurant in Montreal

I travelled an hour to get here and would do it again in a heartbeat, as it is surely the best grilled chicken I have had in Montreal. Unassuming on the outside, this restaurant is a treasure within. I ordered the half chicken with all the accompaniments (pita bread, fries, salad, and of course garlic sauce). It was freshly grilled and came out hot, juicy, and with crispy skin. The spices used are top notch, and the combo of chicken with fries and garlic sauce is unmatched. Owner is a nice guy too, who knows his stuff after doing this for 30 years. Highly recommend if you're in Cartierville, and certainly worth the trip...

I called first time to order before my lunch brake and the owner was not willing to let me order and come pick it up saying that im working alone and call me back later. Well, if you can’t run the business like it should be then close. I don’t need your business.

And just to let you know, I was planning on tasting your food because i was planning a big even with my team that probably will pull over $10,000 deal but with your attitude and the way you handle the business then forget it. There are other places deserve such a chance. You were going to get set up for the summer but you missed it. Enjoy...

This place was good more than a decade ago. Unfortunately the quality declined in the past few years and more specifically tonight, it was my last time eating there. The chicken is not fresh, dry, and has no taste. You'll be eating bread, garlic sauce, and pickles practically.

I also had a lamb brain (famous lebanese dish/sandwich) that is usually delicious when made properly, and this place used to make good ones, but tonight it had a funky taste. I put my sandwich down after 1 bite, pointed the issue to the owner then took off.

Too bad, this was a good sandwich spot that I'll...
