Incredible experience. Food, service, & atmosphere were top notch. Thank you Noah, Ava, Hamel & crew for everything. Wine selection is very good & recommend ordering family style. Incredible attention to detail & fixation on experience.View more

I walked into HENI, wanting to break my fast during Ramadan & craving something comforting that my mother would've made (reading "fatteh du moment" on the menu was what made me confirm my reservation). We were immediately greeted by one of the owners Rami, who made the experience at the restaurant feel as though we were dining at a friends home. The service was warm, & as he explained the concept behind the menu it was very obvious that this was a curated labour of love for him & the team behind HENI. The menu takes you on an explorative journey to the SWANA region: bringing culinary traditions from my own home growing up, like mouneh (a historical practice in our mothers & grandmothers kitchens: a seasons bounty in a jar, preserved or dried foods)-to life in Montreal. On the menu you will catch glimpses all the way from Iran (the khoresh-e-fesenjan) to Morocco & Tunisia (the tajine al samak). As a Syrian I chose to err on the side of familiarity for my first time there, & we ordered the seyadeye, the shish taouk & the shish barak, dishes I've eaten my whole life. What we got was honestly so impressive: these dishes were recreated perfectly using local québécois produce in a way that can only be described as symbiotic. If you're arab & reading this; I know we are an extremely skeptical community when it comes to anyone trying to reshape our dishes (& we have a right to be-what the hell is the chocolate hummus stuff in grocery stores anyway?)-BUT: this dining experience is a must. I felt it perfectly described my history & melded it with my experience as a person living in Quebec. The shish taouk made with celeriac was such a surprise, spiced exactly right, with fresh take on our typical side salads using black garlic & pear for an extra oomf. The shish barak tasted like my mums & that's saying something-with the addition of black trumpet mushrooms that added a next level creaminess & textural contrast to what we're normally used to. The seyadiye rice was cooked the traditional way, but with scallops instead of the usual fish, my only complaint here was that I could've eaten 5x the serving cause it was delicious. So: order 5-6 dishes (we also did the mouneh & the canard) but you can easily do more if you're a large group. Chat with your servers about the customs that gave birth to the menu. But overall come here to dine & experience something that pays an homage to both your old roots, & the new ones you're trying to set here. :)View more

Overall good experience dining at HENI. The restaurant is beautifully decorated & the service was nice & attentive, albeit it was a quiet night. The food was very tasty but I wouldn't describe it as exceptional. Do note that they charge extra for their pita with the appetizers without any mention of it anywhere (in describing the appetizers, the waiter said it is served with their homemade bread). After looking at our bills, we asked our waiter where it was mentioned on the menu since he didn't specify it & he replied "it's not written anywhere". I do believe it should be, for transparency.View more

Great welcome at the door, interior very nice. As a group of 4 we decided to let one of the owners choose everything for us - wine, starters & mains. Great decision, the seasonal dishes brought out were all so unique & I've honestly never tasted much like it before. The concept is very fun & the service was exceptional. Could definitely see Heni becoming a regular evening stop for some wine & small plates.View more

Nous avons eu une excellente expérience au restaurant Heni en ce qui concerne la nourriture & le service. Cependant, notre soirée a été malheureusement ternie par des interactions désagréables avec une personne visiblement ivre du groupe voisin. Malgré les interventions répétées du personnel pour la maîtriser, elle a persisté à nous importuner. Cela a quelque peu entaché notre expérience, mais nous saluons l'équipe du restaurant pour ses efforts constants visant à résoudre la situation. Nous espérons que des mesures seront prises pour éviter de tels incidents à l'avenir, quand bien même cette personne semblait être proche de l'entourage de l'équipe du restaurant. Personnellement je n'y mettrai plus les pieds, dommage !View more
