Dans l'ensemble, Aya est louée pour sa cuisine libanaise authentique préparée avec des ingrédients frais et de grande qualité, et des saveurs équilibrées couvrant houmous, grillades et salades, avec de nombreux avis qualifiant les plats de délicieux et bien exécutés. L'ambiance est décrite comme accueillante et élégante, et l'hospitalité du propriétaire et du personnel est souvent soulignée comme attentive et sympathique. La carte des vins et les spécialités libanaises renforcent l'expérience, faisant d'Aya un choix polyvalent pour les rendez-vous, les repas en famille, les repas d'affaires ou de grands groupes, bien que certains commentaires mentionnent des prix plus élevés ou des lacunes de service lors des affluences. Des plats phares comme le poulpe grillé, le kebbe et les desserts reviennent souvent dans les louanges, et l'on retire que Aya est une gemme et une référence pour la cuisine libanaise dans un cadre raffiné.
We had our wedding here on May 2, & it was amazing! The food was extremely delicious, & for $79, there was really a lot of food.
The interior is beautiful, & the staff were super polite, helpful, & attentive throughout the event.
The owner & manager were especially kind & made the whole organization process much easier for us. They even gave us a private room on the second floor, which made the celebration feel even more special.
This place is now one of our favorites, & we highly recommend it! ❤?
This was our second time dining at Aya & unfortunately, the experience repeated itself. The restaurant is beautiful & the food is good. No complaints there. But the service timing completely drags everything down. Just like our first visit, the food took far too long to arrive. Not in a'we're pacing your courses' kind of way, but in a'you forgot we're here' kind of way.
To be clear, we didn't feel rushed at all. If anything, it was the opposite. The bill came promptly once we were done, but by then, the momentum of the evening was already gone. I have no problem spending $400 on dinner for two. But at that level, you're not just paying for food. You're paying for an experience. & this place falls short of delivering anything memorable. It feels like there's a disconnect somewhere, whether it's understaffing or lack of coordination but something isn't working.
I might give it one more try but for now it's a 3-star experience.

Very good food. Everything tender & tasty. You can't go wrong choosing anything. Have to be prepared for humongous portions.
Clean, service good, not very noisy. One can have a conversation.
We came for our last dinner date before our baby's arrival 3 days later. The food was great, we chose one of the tasting menus, & the flavours were authentic. Service was attentive throughout most of the evening.
We did have a negative experience with the dessert & how it was initially handled by our server. However, Yani, the general manager, followed up, apologized, & made it right, which we really appreciated.
We look forward to coming back & bringing my dad, who is from Lebanon, I think he'd really enjoy the food.
If you are looking for authentic Lebanese cuisine, Aya is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, but the food is the real star of the show.
Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh & high-quality. You can tell they use premium ingredients, & the flavors are perfectly balanced-exactly what you hope for with traditional Middle Eastern dishes. Whether it's the hummus, the grilled meats, or the fresh salads, every bite was delicious.
Beyond the meal, the service was top-notch. The owner & the entire staff were remarkably kind & attentive, making us feel like welcome guests in their own home. It's rare to find a place that hits the mark on both exceptional food & genuine hospitality.
I highly recommend Aya to anyone in the area. We will definitely be back!
Un joyau caché du West-Island que nous venons tout juste de découvrir qui offre une spécialité culinaire peu représenté à Montréal. Aya a su amener à un autre niveau l'excellente cuisine Libanaise, & a seulement comme égale son excellente sélection de vin, soigneusement choisit par le propriétaire. Nous avons décidé d'accompagner notre repas par un vin Libanais recommandé directement par le propriétaire & nous avons été enchanté. Nous avons également été impressionné par le décor digne d'un grand hôtel & de la propreté en général. En rentrant, on remarque rapidement l'immense cuisine & la senteur qui se dégage des fours nous emballaient déjà les papilles gustatives. Nous savions que nous allions avoir une excellente soirée. Les tables ne sont pas trop proches, l'ambiances dans le restaurants est bonne & le services est impeccables. Francois & Isabelle.
Great food, amazing atmosphere. Service was good, but unfortunately the restaurant seemed to be struggling with a staff shortage. But all in all a great restaurant.

It was a great experience & lovely dining room. The food was well cooked & prepared, & the drinks menu was well chosen. I am happy we came to Aya for a 26th December celebration.
Aya Experience was a terrific choice for a Friday-night business dinner (2 pax).
We shared several appetizers - grilled octopus, hummus, fattoush, & arnabeet - all in generous portions, beautifully presented, & full of flavour. The sommelier elevated the experience by sharing thoughtful insights into the Lebanese wine industry & guiding us to delicious glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon, while our attentive & knowledgeable waiter offered spot-on recommendations throughout.
The vibe & atmosphere were warm & inviting, ideal for conversation & connection. We'll gladly return - next time to explore the main courses.
