Good food - nothing special
Friendly stuff- slow service seems like short staffing.
Extremely overpriced compared with similar places.

I personally don't recommend it!

One person- no drinks $130

Aya Lebanese Restaurant is an absolute gem in Montreal, especially for those seeking incredible vegetarian options. From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed by the ambiance & the staff, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the personal touch provided by the owner, Maurice. The vegetarian entrée options at Aya are simply amazing. Each dish is crafted with care, bursting with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Lebanon. We started with a variety of appetizers, & every bite was a delightful surprise of rich & fresh ingredients. Maurice went above & beyond to make our visit memorable. He personally ensured that our main courses were tailored to our preferences, creating the most delicious falafel I've ever tasted & a wonderfully flavorful okra rice dish. It was clear that he takes immense pride in his restaurant, & his passion for serving high-quality, authentic Lebanese food shone through in every detail. The combination of outstanding food, warm hospitality, & a cozy atmosphere makes Aya Lebanese Restaurant a must-visit. Whether you're a vegetarian or just love good food, I can't recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be returning to experience more of Maurice's culinary magic!

was highly recommended to this resto. very anxious to try..
WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Tried the taster menu option..besides the price being very high, we specifically asked the waiter if its a lot of food..He tried to say he has seen many people finish it & if not, you can take it home..
they made a BIG issue over 1 substitution from perhaps close to 15items.
first the hot & cold appetizers arrived (hot one wasn't hot but didn't complain)
main course arrived which consisted .
after tasting 1-2items the waiter appears & asks how everything is..not having much of a chance to sample much, we politely replied fine or good..
well, other than the french fries that were hot, all the meat..the kibbe,lamb chop,shrimp & shish taok was dried out, over cooked & room temperature. We ate the 1 pathetic lamb chop each & the 3 shrimp & after small tastes of the chicken & kibbe..all was left behind. We then told the waiter our thoughts explaining that we fully intend to pay but we are advising him as we were very very disappointed.. all he kept repeating at least 6-8times, how sorry he was & we should have told him when he asked 1 minute after putting the food on the table..we repeatedly told him we aren't asking for anything but we feel they might want to know as the restaurant is only 7 months old. He then lets us know the $9.00 bottle of sparkling water will be deducted from the bill..In the interval, he went to see "his boss" to see what he could do..
best joke..he comes back with the bill & the $9.00 water is on it..(HE IS STANDING OVER US THE ENTIRE TIME) so I say, by the way, the water is on the bill...his reply was "MY BOSS DIDN'T WANT TO DEDUCT IT"..this was so unproffessional!!!
he still was insisting that we should have told him when he asked about our meal before most anything was tasted..then he could have taken it back & they would have started over.
the irony of it all is I tried to tell him that if he would have taken it back , being that everything was overcooked, they would have to start all over again & throw out this platter of food but yet now he can't do anything!!!
As mentioned, we ordered the tasters menu & were prepared to pay the exorbitant asking price & besides being terribly disappointed in the food, the waiter seemed to have NO jurisdiction, NO common sense & "THE BOSS' even less..
sadly, just as word travels quickly when a place is great, staff & owner proffessional...the reverse happens as well.
I am speaking from experience as I was in a customer service business for 40years..
Please everyone, rethink going to this place..There are no shortages of middle eastern foods in our city that are far less expensive & are more interested in pleasing their customers..
