Al Machawi

If you want grilled meats then this is the place for you. The food was tasty and generous portions. 1st time we ordered the Filet Mignon and today we ordered the mixed plate. Everything was delicious.

This is my first time leaving a google review but I had to. I ordered a whole chicken from this restaurant a few weeks ago via DoorDash and I could not even take a bite . The chicken tasted expired , it did not taste good at all . It tasted like when meat has been left in the freezer for too long . My mom called the restaurant for me the next day because it was too late to call that same day and spoke with I believe the owner . She told the owner about the chicken and he responded that he did not sell chicken yesterday and that she had the wrong restaurant . My mom and I asked ourselves if he did not have other employees working for him because he might have not prepared the chicken but someone else did . I decided to call him myself later as I was working . When I called him , he did not even want to listen to what I have to say . I told him I bought the chicken via door dash and I know when a chicken taste expired . He said he will call back after a certain time but he did not . I did not call back because it was clear that he did not care and I can see that by reading other reviews . I usually read reviews before going to a restaurant or ordering from a restaurant but most of the time I don’t really take into consideration the bad reviews because I tell myself and also hope that this won’t be my experience . In this case , I should have listened to those reviews . It’s not about the price but the principal . The owner seems to not care about the service at his restaurant and that’s concerning !

Not sure where to start. Had terrible experience from ordering to pick up. Called around 5pm ordered and he confirmed it will be ready at 6.30pm. Went there at 6.30 to find out he didn't even start preparing my order. He was like do you want it or not. If not you can go. He needs 15 mins more. No hygiene maintained at all. Didn't even have gloves and touching everything with bare hands. Mask wasn't worn properly always under his chin. He was using a hair dryer to blow air in to the burning coal. End result, all the meat got covered in ash. Rice and potato were old and literally smelled bad. He made the salad by tossing everything with his bare hands in the box. 1 kilo mix price was $29 but he charged $40.25. Not to mention in between he was using his cell phone, tablet and touching dollar bills and coins with same bare hand. Forget about washing hands. Don't know how it is still open or doing business. Doesn't even deserve a zero star.

ordered 1 kg of chicken as i wanted to use it to make a meal or two later on in the week. as i start preparing the chicken (if frying pan), since it already has the sauce and i was mixing it in the pan, when i rested the spoon i see a maggot!! no joke folks, there was nothing else being cooked or even prepped anywhere near my stove. for the ridiculous price they charge to take away and even eat the ready made meals, you would expect some quality. reaaly really bad when you pay more than top dollar for what you expect to be quality food.

Absolutely amazing and delicious!!
Owner is very nice and generous!!
Definitely the best place for Lebanese/Mediterranean in the West Island, and I've been to all restaurants..
Not only that, but he also has the best prices.
5 Stars!!

Very delicious place, generous amount of food, grilled meat is amazing

The owner is generous sometimes with the amount of food he gives you and it tastes good! Especially his beef. But funny thing about price here is i think the owner gives a better price if he likes you or depends on his mood lol .. theres times he has charged me more and theres times he charges me less.
