From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm & welcoming. We tried a variety of traditional Egyptian dishes, & everything was absolutely delicious-full of rich flavors & clearly made with care & authenticity. It's not every day you find food that feels both comforting & exciting at the same time.
The service was friendly & attentive, & you can really tell they take pride in what they do. If you're looking to explore authentic Egyptian cuisine or just want a memorable dining experience, this place is a must-visit.
Baba Hamdi cuisine égyptienne delivers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. From the outside, you'd never guess how stunning the interior is! Once inside, you're welcomed by warm, traditional décor that feels both authentic & inviting. The open-style layout is a great touch, allowing you to watch the owner preparing dishes in the kitchen, which adds to the charm & authenticity of the experience.
The food was fantastic across the board, but the homemade hummus truly stole the show. It was so good that I ended up buying two containers to take home. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with care & attention to detail. The owner is incredibly kind & welcoming, clearly passionate about his food & his restaurant, & the wait staff were equally friendly & attentive.
While it's a bit pricier, the portion sizes & quality more than justify the cost. This is an easy return spot, & honestly, I'd come back just for the hummus alone. An outstanding experience all around.

We went to this restaurant a while back because we wanted to try authentic Egyptian food. We were very impressed with everything. The salad, bread & hummus he brings out before the main dish is fresh & delicious. The main course we had involved chicken & rice & it was very good as well. It was well worth the wait since that's the only drawback we could find. Which is that the service is a bit slow but acceptable for the quality you're getting. You can tell the owner cares about the quality of the food he serves.
Being Egyptian, we've been looking for a good Egyptian restaurant for a while. & we are super glad we found Baba Hamdi. We made the drive from Terrebonne because we wanted to try, & boy are we happy that we did!
Everything was delicious, prices reasonable, & everything authentic.
Koshari, kofta, molokhia… I'm getting hungry that typing this out. Not to mention finishing the evening with some mint tea. Just a perfect evening for my mother's birthday.
If you want to visit Egypt & not fly halfway accross the globe this is the spot to be. Amazing comfort food with a smooth authentic ambiance. Service is exemplary & by god the hummus is to die for. Thank you baba hamdi
After two weeks of feasting across Montreal, Baba Hamdi was the grand finale we were craving. Authentic, delicious, & made with so much love by the great Baba Hamdi himself.

Baba Hamdi is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, beautifully decorated interior. The food was nothing short of amazing: authentic Egyptian flavors, perfectly seasoned, & served in impressively large portions that easily satisfy even the heartiest appetite.
Customer service here is exemplary. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles & attentiveness throughout the meal, & to top it all off, the Chef himself came over to walk me through the menu.
Overall, Baba Hamdi delivers on every front, delicious food, outstanding service, & charming atmosphere. A solid 10/10, I can't wait to go back!
