My friends picked this restaurant for their bday & they made a reservation for 6 people. Food was delicious! You noticed fresh ingredients right away. Portions are small, the concept is a tapas formula dish. We ordered several appetizers (10) & 4 more with meat. We all were satisfied. For dessert, a friend brought cake & the place let us have it charging a reasonable fee, the coffee was strong & aromatic. The sour fruit beer I had was excellent for the weather. I had to remind the waitress twice the order but overall good service, nice recommendations. The place impose a time limit to be on site so that was a bummer. As for the ambiance no particular music or atmosphere that makes the place stand out but a family restaurant for sure (no kids were visible thu.

Un petit restaurant syrien vraiment charmant. La nourriture était délicieuse, avec des épices & des saveurs étonnamment savoureuses qui rappellent la richesse culinaire du Moyen-Orient. Le seul petit bémol serait le pain, qui gagnerait à être fait maison, comme dans beaucoup de restaurants orientaux. Cela dit, avec les difficultés actuelles à trouver du personnel, c'est compréhensible

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.

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 !
