We were on the lookout for authentic Middle Eastern food, and not the mainstream familiar most people go for. Our friend was in town from the UAE and we wanted the real deal (We were actually looking for a Ramadan Iftar meal but I don't think anyone serves it in Phoenix). The first place we went was actually closing for Ramadan, but the owner recommended this place. So glad we found it! I wasn't sure at first - they didn't seem interested in helping us order (she answered the phone while we were ordering), they were out of hummus, etc. But eventually, we placed our order and grabbed some drinks from the fridge. I was about 20 minutes or so until we got our food, but from that moment on, I was completely taken into a magical land of glorious food. The authentic rice and goat, the Tandoori melted in your mouth - the cook even brought out one of her favorites at no charge - Beef Masala. The Garlic Naan was buttery, warm and delicious (and I swear she brought out WAY more than one order of Naan). This little hole in the wall is a must visit for authentic Pakistani/Indian food. Don't be intimidated - dive in and try it!

The food was fabulous - vegan, gluten free, organic. I had the Om Burger which is mushroom, sun dried tomato, flaxseed & mixed vegetables, served on chapati and garnished with tomato, red onion, lettuce, mustard, ketchup & caper aioli. It had very complex flavors. I had the brownie for dessert. My intent was to eat half and save the other half for another day. That did not work out. I am in Montreal for 6 days and plan to go back to try another entree.

Greasy ass breakfast burritos sucked and gave me some serious acid shits. You know the kind that feel like you are shooting fire out of your ass? I want to go back this place to try something different because I live close but every time I even drive near it to go to Safeway or the gym my butthole puckers up and my stomach starts to hurt. Sorry Federico's..you have won this round but eventually I will get drunk and come over at 2am and you can try to redeem yourselves.

I don't get what the hype is about this place don't get me wrong my sandwich was good, but it was just that. It was nothing special and I would not come back here or recommend it to anyone. I tried the full montagu and it was alright. I stole a few bites from the tuna melt (decent) and the original (pretty good) but the only lasting impression is their mustard spread and horseradish sauce. The tomato soup tastes like it was warmed up from a can. Also, my sister was in the mood for something simple and got the grilled cheese, it was like a roll of bread and the tiniest amount of cheese. Way too much bread. The Mac and cheese is good even though the way it's packaged reminded me of airline food which made me not want to try it but I'm glad I did as that was one of the best things I ate there.
