On a commandé les feuilles de vigne & chiche kebab. Tout était dégueulasse. Tout était rempli de vinaigre.

La cuisine & le service excellents. Par contre, la déco est trop occidentale, on ne sent pas voyager un peu aux pays évoqués dans l'expérience gastronomique. Finalement, il y a trop de tables à l'intérieur du local, ce qui fait un bruit excessif à l'heure de pointe. Il faudrait séparer les tables pour donner un peu plus de calme ou bien de s'asseoir à l'extérieur si possible.

The food is overall good but everything is overpriced for the modest portions that you get. Service & atmosphere are both below average . I won't go back again

Definitely not worth the hype. Our waitress insisted on talking to us in French even though her English was good. I am perfectly bilingual but it's my choice what language I want to speak when dining with my friends & paying for food. The portions are small for the prices & you have to order the side separately on top of it. So basically they give you 2 sticks of meat & even if you order a side which I did order the rice, you still end up with no dip or sauce to go with it so kinda need to order 2 sides. My boyfriend ordered braised lamp & it was a small piece of meat & a big load of caramelized onion under. Wine bottles are expensive for what they offer as well. They also put a bag of pita in its original plastic bag on the table. Definitely not going back.

This is one of Montreal's best restaurant & absolute gems. The wine list is superb & every dish is packed with flavours that are hard to find anywhere else. The service is incredible with a quality that has been pasted down for generations. This place has become a must whenever I'm in Montreal.

The food isn't that great. Almost everything is covered in garlic sauce. Service is awful.
