Edit:J'avais donné 5 étoiles, mais il y a eu changement de propriétaire & depuis, total déception. Portion plus petite, moins de sauce, plus de salade, moins de viande, moins de patates...ce n'est plus le meilleur shish du tout! Le service reste semblable & ajout de musique trop forte.

Pour les employés du CHU, le rabais a aussi disparu.

Ps. La photo c'était avant

Ancien: Best shish in town! Best patate grec ever que j'ai mangé !

L'assiette shish taouk du Carthage est ridiculement petite. On dirait quelque chose qu'on m'aurait plutôt servi à l'hôtel Dieu de Québec juste en face.

Elle est remplie surtout de laitue romaine, sans sauce ni vinaigrette. Dès qu'on te la remet, l'assiette est si légère que tu te demandes comment tu vas survivre avec ça.

En l'ouvrant, c'est encore pire : presque pas de sauce, très peu de poulet, & le poulet était tellement sec qu'il fallait boire de l'eau pour réussir à l'avaler.

Extrêmement décevant. J'y étais déjà allé par le passé & ce n'était vraiment pas comme ça…

J'y ai mangé samedi dernier & je me suis régalé ! Habitué à cette cuisine, je n'ai pas été déçu ! Le ojja aux crevettes royales & la brick au thon étaient délicieux, une explosion de saveurs ! Le petit ou plutôt le grand plus, c'est que le gérant est d'une gentillesse incroyable ! Une belle découverte ! Je reviendrai avec ma famille avec grand plaisir 🙏

Karim était très cordial & professionnel avec nous. Il nous a expliqué toutes les assiettes & il était prêt à nous offrir le meilleur service. Une gastronomie unique à Québec à goûter 100%!

I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt- maybe they were having an off day? Was looking forward to lunch here after seeing the reviews & photos of delicious looking food. Ordered one of the plates of the day - chicken & rice - & it was literally three chicken nuggets on top of a pile of rice. To make matters worse, they charged me more than $20. It seemed like the people working there didn't quite know what they were doing.. maybe they were new or filling in? Anyway I hate to give bad reviews but maybe don't order the special when you go there.

Had high expectations based on the online photos & reviews. Ordered the 3 meats platter & portion size was insanely disappointing, had literally three bites of meat in the entire meal. The food was very basic, chicken felt like thawed frozen chicken, merguez was insanely dry, could tell the wedges were store bought. Salad was very basic. For the price, definitely NOT worth it.

Wir sind mit dem Service von Carthage Express Québec sehr zufrieden. Die Kommunikation war freundlich und klar, alles lief pünktlich und reibungslos ab. Man merkt, dass hier professionell und zuverlässig gearbeitet wird. Wir können Carthage Express uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

So delicious! Kind staff who made sure we understood the menu & took the time to explain things. Got the Shish Taok special combo- well seasoned perfectly crunchy potato wedges, a drink of choice, & a tasty, fresh chicken pita all for $13. It was fairly empty but not surprising for a Tuesday, which allowed us to take our time & talk comfortably. HIGHLY recommend especially for anyone who needs a break from the poutine & burgers in the surrounding area.
