We had a wonderful dining experience at Restaurant Beroya in Montréal. From the moment we walked in, the warm & welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an authentic Syrian meal. The standout dish for us was the hummus incredibly smooth, rich in flavor, & clearly made with care & tradition. It's easily some of the best we've ever had. The meat dishes were also exceptional: perfectly grilled & seasoned with a fragrant blend of spices that brought out the depth of the cuisine. The kebab & chicken were tender, juicy, & full of flavor without being overpowering. Portions were generous, & everything was beautifully presented. The service was friendly & attentive, with staff happy to explain dishes & offer suggestions. Beroya is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience genuine Middle Eastern hospitality & flavors. We left full, happy, & already planning to return. Highly recommended!

had: cheese roll, falafel, hommos hab el labban, mouttabal, yalangy, salad arugula with halloum, frikkeh & mozzat. take out, 130 CAD on a positive note, the mouttabal was fine. but, i would not be surprised if it turned out the falafel were made from store bought mix (more on that later). very dry, no crunch on outside, none of the qualities of an elite falafel. the hab el labban was forgettable, which is maybe a high point here. 90+% of the volume of the arugula salad with halum was indeed just a dump of arugula, which, fair, is true to the name, but its also a 20$+ salad so id expect something more inspired. the "gourmet" menu section frikkeh was easily the weakest dish of the bunch. overcooked, hardly seasoned grain whose consistency & lack of flavor resembled that of oatmeal. seasoning aside, the meat was... acceptable? but really nothing special either, i again here have doubts about its supposed "gourmet" nature. this was such a thoroughly bland meal. i was excited to try this because some reviewers claim this is competitive with a certain other famous or infamous syrian restaurant in montreal. whatever you think of the "value" of the latter, i cant help but think such reviews were produced under the sway of some ideology; these two are _not even playing the same sport._ the thing that really got me was the pita thrown into our takeout order, pictured below. this is a microcosm of my whole beroya experience. to present (& charge) as a middle eastern locale on the finer side & not have enough pride in the craft to bake your own is wild to me. at least if you're going to use pita from the grocery, throw it on the grill & in another bag or something, you might fool some clients. come on yall
The night we went there, they had live music. It was amazing. You can expect everything from a middle eastern experience here. The cold mazes are amazing & their hot bread is so delicious. We enjoyed the kebabs, too.
we ordered the taster menu, which included starters, cold & hot entrees, main meal & dessert....it was 79$ for two people. everything was very good. service was fast, & efficient until we got all our food, then it seemed like the wait staff disappeared & didnt want us to go.....not a problem for us because we sat & chatted but it may be an issue if youre in a hurry.....it was our first time there, first time having syrian cuisine....some plates similar to other middle eastern restaurants...the fatouche salad was very delicious, so was the beet salad, & the 4 dips that came with the warm pita bread....everything was very flavourful & spiced just right, nothing overpowering .....the dessert was to die for, it was icecream with cotton candy. like nothing we have ever seen before or eaten before...we are definately going back there, this time with a large group....
