This a a great little neighbourhood favourite in Montréal, considered one of the best restaurants in the city. Middle Eastern fusion is the name of the game. We have the Valentine's Day tasting menu. It was fantastic. Good wine list. The relaxed atmosphere makes is perfect for a date, or family & friends.

We had their St Valentine's Day menu fixe with wine pairings. The sommelière was full of heart-really passionate about her work, dialled in tight, sweet as Manishevitz. Each dish evoked Lebanese cuisine with creativity & pluck. Decor was cozy, hip, elevated. A truly wonderful night. They knocked out the park. Recommend highly.

!0/10 experience at Heni, last Saturday night for our relationship anniversary. We took the tasting menu & everything was absolutely delicious. It is also a nice change from French or Italian cuisine (as much as I love them), with original pairings & wine from Lebanon (among other offers.)
Highly recommend, congratulations to the whole team.

I've honestly never eaten such a delicious & unique meal (we had the tasting menu). Artful & filling food. Completely unique wines & cocktails. Get there if you can!

Really great wine & cocktails, we tried the bread, the eggplant dip & the potatoes with halloumi, all were quite good but the potatoes were very greasy. I found the glasses of wine & cocktails to be pretty pricey though.

The service, however, was very good but a little slow, especially on a quiet night. They stopped checking in on us after we had finished our food & second drink, we might have ordered more if asked but they seemed to be running around trying to deal with other patrons. That was okay, my friend & I mostly just needed a quiet & nice place to talk & catch up, so we didnt really mind.

The restaurant itself is quite nice & warmly decorated, but a bit of an overall weird layout.

Had the first day of their new tasting menu & it was fantastic! I had the veg option & my table got the classic menu, & both were phenomenal. Amazing service from Kim & Noah. The wines were excellent quality, & came with in depth & meaningful stories.

We were visiting Montreal for the weekend & many friends recommended Nora Gray. We got boxed out there & the Nora Gray maitre'd recommended Heni. So we ate at the bar at Heni. The experience was wonderful. We loved the Heni hostess/bartender/maitre'd. She recommended great wine. The food was delicious. The hummus & kale dip were yummy. The steak was particularly great - who knew blue cheese marinade could subtly shape flavor so nicely!! The spicy fish was not spicy but still tasty. A lovely evening that we won't forget.

Love this place! Service is excellent, both drinks & food. Also, if you like knowing the background of the wine &/or food they will gladly explain everything in detail. People complain about price & portion size but I left happy with both. I assume the problem is that most people assume middle eastern food should be inexpensive because we've been conditioned to think this.
