Best Lebanese food I've had outside of Lebanon itself in many years! Would definitely recommend!

This was 17$, the Halloum meshweh was on the hot meals side of the menu. It said halloumi with fresh vegetables... but it's just some tomatoes & cucumber cut, not even in a salad & no sauce, pretty disappointing. At least the staff was really nice

This place is a hidden gem & has authentic Lebanese food. It's a small place, so make sure to make a reservation to secure a table.

The food. Incredible. We had the fattoush salad, dip tasters, the shish taouk, shish taouk chilli chicken & the garlic potatoes. Everything was delicious, but I do have to highlight the garlic potatoes! The best I have ever had! The garlic dip & fresh pitas are also good. I also recommend the red house wine or a beruit beer.

The staff was very friendly & attentive. Made our experience that much better.

I will definitely be back.

I am a huge lover off all Lebanese food & having grown up in a Middle Eastern home thus food transported me back to how my mom used to cook back in the 80s & 90s. The Tabouli was excellent. The Kibbe Naye or Raw Kibbe was the best I ever had & I have been to Lebanon multiple times over the years & this was the best.

Hummus & Baba G was great. The mixed grill was great & the Soujek Grilled was next level. The fatoush was good but not my favorite.

Overall I am looking forward to visiting Montreal & calling ahead to make sure there was Raw Kibbe. Ask for white onion & they will bring from the back as it comes with red onion.

Nous avions réservé pour 20h30 & sommes arrivés à l'heure. Malheureusement, notre expérience a été très décevante, principalement à cause d'un manque d'organisation vraiment inadmissible.

Après avoir commandé nos entrées & nos plats, nous avons attendu près d'une heure sans rien recevoir, pas même les entrées. Pendant ce temps, une table arrivée après nous a été servie avant nous. Nous avons donc signalé le problème à la serveuse, qui s'est excusée en nous expliquant qu'il y avait eu un bug.

À partir du moment où le problème a été signalé, nous nous attendions naturellement à ce que notre commande soit traitée en priorité & correctement. Or, ce n'est pas du tout ce qui s'est passé. On nous a finalement annoncé qu'il n'y avait plus de kefta au boeuf, alors que nous avions commandé 2 plats avec kefta & 2 poulet. Pourtant, la table d'à côté, arrivée après nous, a reçu du kefta ainsi que sa commande complète. La serveuse nous a dit qu'elle ne pouvait pas pénaliser les autres clients pour nous.

De notre côté, nous avons fini par recevoir nos plats à 22h30!!!! Plus tard, lorsque les plats sont finalement arrivés, nous n'avons reçu que 3 plats sur 4. Là encore, on nous a répondu que la quatrième assiette n'avait apparemment pas été notée.

Ce qui est le plus inadmissible, ce n'est pas seulement l'attente, mais le fait qu'après avoir signalé le problème, nous n'ayons pas été servis en priorité, que notre commande n'ait pas été respectée, & que d'autres tables arrivées après nous aient reçu leurs plats complets avant nous.

Le restaurant nous a finalement offert les plats, ce que nous reconnaissons. Cependant, cela ne change pas le fait que l'expérience a été très désagréable & mal gérée du début à la fin. Nous comprenons qu'une erreur puisse arriver, mais ici, il y a eu une accumulation d'erreurs, un manque de suivi & une organisation vraiment décevante.
