Review Summary

Omnivore is consistently praised for beautifully presented Lebanese-inspired dishes, generous portions, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Middle Eastern Healthy

Review Summary

Reviews consistently praise Falafel Manie for excellent falafel and delicious sandwiches; several call it the best hand made falafel in the Greater Montreal area, with popular options like saj and sujuk and Egyptian falafel noted for aromatic herbs. The place is described as small and unassuming, more grab and go than a sit down spot, but the service is repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, making guests feel at home. Prices are seen as good value by many, though a few mention that sandwiches can be a bit pricey, and one note suggests the tables could be neater. Overall, the consensus is that the food is fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, with many calling Falafel Manie a hidden gem in Quebec and even saying nothing else compares. Some reviewers also highlight the option to buy raw falafel to cook at home. In short, expected takeaway is tasty falafel, generous portions, warm service, and a standout choice in the Montreal region.View restaurant profile
