Experience at Hayat was amazing. Otis, our server, was incredibly attentive, hospitable & charming. He made the experience above & beyond, especially with the customized drinks. The food was impeccable & had presentation was great.
I made reservations here for my friend's birthday yesterday. There was a group of 11 of us. I loved the ambiance & decor of the restaurant. I ordered the lamb shawarma & hummus for myself & I got to try the shish taouk, Jerusalem artichokes, fattoush salad, shish barak, & the short ribs. My lamb shawarma & hummus was perfectly spiced & tender, while the hummus was creamy & velvety which paired great with fresh pita. I was also surprised by the Jerusalem artichokes, they were fried, I never thought artichokes could taste so good. The seasoning used for this was absolutely impeccable. The fattoush salad was also great & tasted fresh. The chicken shish taouk was juicy with a delightful char, the side potatoes that came with this was also amazingly delicious with the spices they used. The beef dumplings were mediocre tasting, I didn't find them to be a stand out. & the short ribs mixed with a creamy sauce was also an odd pairing of flavor. I found the service good as they were attentive & quick to serve us. I did bring a birthday cake in which they charged $5/pp cutting fee. There were these large chocolate pieces that were used to decorate the cake, in which I realized the server never asked if we wanted to eat them. I wish they would have considered this because it was part of the cake & a waste of money to be just thrown out as some of the guests would have liked it. Overall, I thought the majority of the food was well prepared & flavourful. I enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant, however it felt the space was a bit tight. & lastly, the service was good.
Really great food & service! The owner & waitress were super attentive. The only issue is that its very expensive for what you get (a non-alcoholic drink was close to $20) but the portion sizes are decent & it has a nice vibe on the inside.

Hayat in Montreal, overlooking the old port waterfront, offers a beautiful dining experience with both outdoor & indoor seating. The fusion of food was so delicious that I could only take two photos before it was all gobbled up. The staff were attentive, & Nathaniel's exceptional service truly stood out. He carefully listened to our preferences & recommended dishes that perfectly suited our tastes. The food quality was outstanding, with generous portions, & the dessert is an absolute must-try! Highly recommended!
Food was phenomenal & service was out of this world! Every single dish was flavorful & plentiful. All of the staff were friendly & extremely attentive. They deserve a 10! Just wish we had room for dessert!
lovely atmosphere, beautiful drinks, & delicious food! i think the portions could be a bit bigger given the price, but the taste is so incredible. attentive, friendly staff as well.
I had one of the most outstanding meals here, complemented by exceptional service. Nathaniel, our server, delivered the best service I've ever experienced-extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, & attentive. We ordered the Boreg, Kebab Halloumi, & short ribs. For drinks, we tried the whiskey sour, Matcha martini & espresso martini. They were divine! The most delicious meals & drinks I've ever tasted. This place is now at the very top of my list.
Okay food, our server was not that attentive, he was very rude towards the end. Also they just opened a $7 bottle of water without even letting us know & just include it in the bill.
In a sea of fine French restaurants, this lovely Middle Eastern spot was a rare gem. The flavors were something we've never experienced before & everything was something to savor & take your time eating. Really amazing dishes with vegetarian friendly options that are so good you wouldn't miss the meat. The service was incredibly friendly & attentive & so kind. We decided to eat at the bar & received great service & recommendations from Chao (hope i spelled that right!) Hands down the best meal we've had in Montreal, & quite frankly, the best we've had anywhere in a very long time. (Definitely try the muhamarra, it's out of this world!)
