Atmosphere:
The place itself is tiny. Tried to get a reservation on same day via website, & it was apparently fully booked... decided to go anyway hoping we may be able to sit if we waited a little bit; Lo & behold, the place was completely empty??? So no wait time for us (yay!)
Service:
Service was quick & courteous without more... exchanged maybe 15 words with the waitress from start to finish.
Food:
We ordered
- Fattouch salad
- Cold mezzes tasting plater (hummus, baba ganouj, labneh & muhamara for 22$)
- Hot mezze tasting plater (patries - for 24$)
- kibbeh neye (raw beef with bulgur)
The kibbeh neye was good; its price,quality & quantity in line with other good libanese/syrian restaurants.
The fattoush salad was a ~mess~:
For 18$ I expect more salad than the size of my hand or at the very least a good quality salad. The salad was extremely bland; aside from the fresh mint & overly generous pomegranate molasses drizzle on top there was no identifiable dressing. There were giant chunks of tomatoes (1 1/2' thick), & about 3 large pieces of libanese cucumber.
The cold mezze were ~VERY~ expensive for their price & the quality was frankly not there. This was the worst baba banouj we've ever tasted (doubtful they even put salt in there), the muhamara was... okay, the labneh was a complete bust (plain, store-bought quality labneh decorated with ~dried~ mint. There was about 2 table spoons' worth of dip in every tiny bowl.
The hot mezzes were really good - again, too expensive for the size.
Overall I do not recommend this place.View more
Walked past this place 100 times always packed finally decided to go try it out & was super happy. Everything was 1010. Fattoush, Hummus, & the shish taouk were to die for. Had leftover too, lady was sweet & the atmosphere was small & cozy felt like eating in an aunties house:) highly highly recommendView more
Amazing food & great service. The space is small but anyone who complains about that is out of their mind. Smaller spaces provide more intimate settings & a personal experience. We ended up getting 4 orders of the mixed platter for 6 adults & 4 kids along with 2 orders of mixed samplers & nothing was left when we finished. Highly recommend.View more
Absolutely delicious food, & great service (fast & friendly). Highly recommend! A bit on the pricier side though.View more
Lovely Lebanese restaurant! Everything was delicious, we got the dip taster cold & hot mezze, then the mixed grilled meat. Def recommend (but it's quite small so make a rez!)View more
Super amazing: service, atmosphere, the taste of authentic Lebanese. The simplicity of the place that makes this place like a palace. Really has the feeling of home in all aspects. Highly recommend.View more
Very authentic Lebanese taste. From the ambiance, smell, aromas & menu everything inspired me Lebanon. Great service, amazing staff & very short waiting time. I would encourage you to book your table in advance because it was fully booked when I went there. Totally recommend it.View more
Most authentic Lebanese restaurant in Montreal! I had the Dip Taster, which was delicious & beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the Muhammara dip. Excellent & very helpful service, in a warm & homey atmosphere. Highly recommend! I only wish that they made falafel sandwiches.View more
I recently dined at this wonderful Lebanese restaurant in Montreal & had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was cozy & inviting, but can be a bit noisy. The food was delicious, especially the hummus & fatoosh & baba ganouj. The staff were friendly & attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this gem for authentic Lebanese cuisine!View more
Food is amazing & they have lots of options. Very cute date spot, their patio is small, but very nice. Absolutely worth it. On the pricier side but highly recommend!View more

Great place for an authentic Lebanese meal. I'd highly recommend the Kibbeh Nayyeh & the Fattouche. Our waitress was warm & attentive, her service really enhanced our meal. The Kenafeh was excellent with the Mafroukeh a close second. Would definitely visit again.View more

Scrumptious authentic Lebanese cooking & friendly workers. Highly recommend!View more
This place needs 10 stars. By far one of the best restaurants I've ever been to - from the quaint dining experience to the authentic taste of the food, to the excellent customer service - best experience ever. The garlic potatoes are phenomenal, & the mixed platter is a great deal. The tabouli is SO good too!! Highly highly recommend!!!View more
Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could've been better. Paying 20$ for a few pieces of shish taouk was a little expensive considering it didn't come with any sides, but still, it was very flavourful. Growing up as an Armenian/Lebanese, food was an abundance, & I find most Middle Eastern restaurants lack that. But again, it's a restaurant, I get it. Overall, everything tasted pretty authentic, & I would recommend this restaurant! I would definitely come back!View more
