A Unique Culinary Journey!!
From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable, our server's passion & precision in explaining each dish added so much depth to the experience. The food itself was outstanding, blending Middle Eastern & South African influences with fresh, local Quebec ingredients. Every bite felt thoughtful & well-executed, creating a perfect balance of bold flavors & high-quality produce. A truly unique & inspiring culinary experience! I will definitely be coming back.

Became easily my favourite restaurant in the city & for reasons bigger than food. Finally Montreal gets to experience a creative twist on MENA food & done in such an elite manner. As an Egyptian-Palestinian, really proud to see how our culture is showcased with so much creativity in incorporating Quebec ingredients all while remaining committed to the foundations of our culinary culture. Will come back to visit Badin as well soon enough :)

Heni is a foodie paradise. This is Mediterranean food with a twist, where fresh ingredients from local Québec farms are used in place of imported products to create new taste experiences. The result is an amazing fusion of the fresh & the exotic. Topping it all off, the wine pairing was one of the best we've had in a long while. We hope to be back soon.

Nourriture acceptable, particulièrement le homard. Mais menu très limité. Le menu sur le web est obsolète alors ne vous y fiez pas. Service sympathique mais on veut trop vous expliquer ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette. Le côté local des ingrédients prend trop de place dans l'expériece. Liste de vins très limitée

One of Montreal's most unique additions to the culinary scene of a city with a competitive restaurant market. The food consists of a friendly, extravagant play on indigenous cuisines globally, conceptualized on a beautifully decorated plate, while respecting the roots of each dish. The menu changes based on the ingredients available each season, demonstrating Heni's incredible capability to adapt dishes with local ingredients that are not typically used in the countries from which certain menu items originate. This innovative approach provides a fresh, delicious, & meaningful connection between Quebec & the rest of the world, & creates a path to reconcile cultural differences through food. The service is truly a warm hug; Rami goes the extra mile to ensure that guests understand the concept of each dish. Thank you for this amazing experience!

Hats off to Rami & the team behind HENI for elevating food from the SWANA region all while highlighting culinary ingredients & traditions both here & there ❤️ The menu is seasonal & changes often. Everything is delicious. Run, don't walk!

Truly a fantastic experience. Comparable to Michelin star! The food itself is incredible - as a member of the middle eastern diaspora, I can attest to the fantastic flavours & dishes which were reminiscent of home but also honoured québécois ingredients. The braised lamb is an absolute must - completely melts off the bone. The dessert (we had blueberry ice cream in turmeric cake) is also not to skip.
Special shout out to Rami the co-partner who took the time to welcome us & explain the passion & care behind each dish & the restaurant as a whole. You made my partner & I feel like family!
A lovely experience overall & highly recommend to anybody in the Saint Henri area.
