About

Alep specializes in the vibrant traditions of Syrian and Armenian cuisine, offering an extensive selection of authentic Middle Eastern mezzes and grilled specialties. Guests encounter a menu anchored in pomegranate molasses, zaatar, and hand-rolled grape leaves that reflect a deep commitment to regional culinary heritage. The kitchen prioritizes slow-cooked stews and seasoned meats served alongside freshly prepared flatbreads and aromatic rice dishes. The interior design mirrors the warmth of the Levant, featuring traditional architectural elements and a focused layout that highlights communal eating practices. Every plate emphasizes texture and bold seasoning, from creamy hummus variations to savory kebabs fire-roasted to order. This establishment functions as a dedicated center for those seeking complex, spice-forward flavors and traditional Mediterranean preparation techniques within an understated, functional setting.

Review Summary

Alep offers a widely praised dining experience that blends Syrian, Lebanese, and Armenian culinary traditions with a local twist, earning consistent acclaim for its flavorful dishes like the fattoush, hummus, and various grilled platters. Many diners appreciate the professional service, the extensive wine list, and the thoughtful tasting menus, often describing the atmosphere as pleasant and the ingredients as remarkably fresh. While the majority of guests consider it a must-visit destination that provides excellent value, some feedback indicates occasional inconsistencies regarding portion sizes, pricing, seasoning levels, and a perceived lack of attentiveness during busier periods. Despite these isolated concerns, the restaurant is frequently celebrated as a standout venue for its authentic hospitality and high-quality Middle Eastern cuisine.

Our first time & what a wonderful experience! We knew that they had vegan options but did not know that they offered a vegan tasting menu! Everything was delicious with plenty of flavours. Excellent friendly accommodating service. Sorbet for dessert capped off a great meal. Tasting menu is 45$-50$ per person. Well worth it.

Encore une fois, service impeccable. Par contre, je constate une baisse de qualité & de saveur dans les repas. Dommage

A little pricey, but super delicious. I recommend kebab khash-khash. The moussaka was ok but nothing special.

Merveilleuse soirée entre amis. 3 vegans sur 5. Nous avons suivi les recommandations du serveur, ainsi que du sommelier. Tout était parfait!

Toujours une expérience parfaite, que cela soit au Alep ou au petit Alep ! Le service y était excellent & les plats toujours aussi décadents! Recommandation pour l'assiette végétalienne, le kébbé nayé, la fattouche, le plat d'agneau & les atayefs au noix avec la crème glacée au chocolat noir 72% comme dessert !

Great food, Alep is specialized in Syrian/Armenian food & totally nails it every time. The service is very good & I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to live a real middle eastern culinary experience. Prices are a bit high but that can be justified with good quality ingredients & the great service.

For the price, I expected the food to have bolder flavours & have more variety in terms of the texture in each bite. I got the sea bass & I preferred it in other restaurants. The flavours they went with I found were more on the bland side. I preferred the mudjadara then the sea bass cause it was more flavourful. I remember petit alep had better flavours so would need to go back there to re-confirm.

L'accueil : impeccable (hôtesse à l'entrée & préposé au vestiaire). Les tables sont suffisamment éloignées les unes des autres (certaines tables sont séparées par un panneau de verre qui bloque efficacement les conversations). Très bon service, ni trop rapide, ni trop lent. Le sommelier nous a bien conseillé; le choix de vins au verre est cependant assez limité (seulement quatre vins rouges au verre lors de notre visite, à partir de 14,50 $ le verre). Les entrées sont en général assez petites, sauf pour la soupe, copieuse. En plat principal, nous avons commandé les kababs (d'Alep & khach-khach), excellents; 2 brochettes sont suffisantes. Cependant, ces plats (& d'autres vraisemblablement) ne comprennent pas les accompagnements. Nous avons commandé comme accompagnements le riz aux lentilles moujadara (copieux pour une seule personne) & une salade (portion correcte pour une personne). Le repas s'est terminé avec un thé (choix de plusieurs bons thés), servi dans de jolies théières. Nous avions la table pour deux heures, durée un peu juste si on désire prendre en plus un apéritif &/ou un digestif.

Wow, this restaurant experience blew us away. We didn't feel like making any decisions tonight besides where we ate, & our server Mirka chose the perfect dishes to quench our thirst for the fresh flavours of Syria & Armenia. Thank you sweet server, & thank you to the rest of the service team for your attentiveness & smiles!! MUAH
