HENI se spécialise dans les traditions culinaires vibrantes du Moyen-Orient, en mettant l'accent sur les viandes grillées au charbon de bois et les saveurs libanaises authentiques. La préparation experte se concentre sur des brochettes assaisonnées, du houmous fraîchement préparé et une gamme de mezze traditionnels qui mettent en valeur des mélanges d'épices robustes et des ingrédients de haute qualité. La cuisine maintient une concentration sur une exécution cohérente, offrant des assiettes qui privilégient les profils fumés inhérents à la cuisson à flamme ouverte. La clientèle découvre un reflet direct des produits régionaux à travers des plats méticuleusement assemblés et des pains pétris à la main. Cet établissement équilibre la simplicité structurelle avec un engagement inébranlable envers les techniques de préparation levantines traditionnelles, assurant que l'essence du gril demeure le point central pour chaque visiteur.
Heni est largement reconnu comme une destination culinaire incontournable à Montréal, apprécié pour sa cuisine fusion moyen-orientale innovante et savoureuse, notamment ses menus dégustation hautement recommandés. Les clients vantent fréquemment la présentation artistique, la fraîcheur des produits et la sélection variée de vins uniques de haute qualité. Bien que l'atmosphère soit généralement décrite comme chaleureuse, branchée et accueillante, avec de nombreux convives soulignant un service exceptionnel et attentionné, certains visiteurs ont relevé des points à améliorer concernant le niveau sonore, le rapport entre la taille des portions et le prix, ainsi que des délais d'attente occasionnels. Malgré quelques expériences mitigées sur certains plats ou boissons, la majorité de la clientèle rapporte une expérience mémorable et exprime une forte volonté d'y retourner.
My group & I were generally not super impressed with our experience at Heni. The restaurant was presented to us a Middle Eastearn & North African cuisine, yet no mocktails or alcohol free drinks appeared on the menu. Our server informed us uppon asking that the two cocktails shown (18$), are just as good without the alcohol. Seemed liked a missed opportunity to have a well crafted mocktail list. We got the tasting menu, of which we genuinely loved one dish - the tuna. We asked about replacing an item in the tasting menu with another & were discouraged to do so, & ended up adding the quail dish. Good thing we did because the quail was great! The rest of the menu lacked the something special that the tuna & quail dishes seemed to have, especially for the price (313$ for two people, including a bottle of wine & tip).
What an amazing experience at HENI, thanks to Timeleft (meeting people app) -I met the great group of people Timeleft organized there & was blown away by the warm welcome & fast service! The owner was super charming & let us sample a variety of dishes, & while there weren't as many vegetarian options as I'd hoped, everything was incredibly delicious. We paired the meal with some great wine, & though I spent a bit more than expected, it was worth every penny. The cultural richness & thought behind the menu are truly impressive. Don't miss out on trying these fantastic dishes!

The wine at this restaurant was excellent however the food didn't live up to expectations at all & we were pretty underwhelmed. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.
Really wanted to love this spot. The concept is great. Front of house staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Wine program was impressive with some interesting by the glass offerings. The vegetarian dishes were pretty disappointing. Based on other reviews the omnivore dishes might be better.
Wonderful creative dishes. Quality presentation & very helpful staff. Excellent choice of Lebanese wines not available through the SAQ. Happy to have returned & made new discoveries each time.
One of the best dining experiences of my life. Noah is a pro at what he does: at the service of others. Dishes were inventive yet respectful & a true homage to where the recipes originate from. Lebanese wine was very well highlighted; some of the best wine I've ever had. There couldn't be a better way to conclude the experience than the atayef. Chapeau !
We wouldn't have been so surprised by the food if we'd known that the chef had previously worked at Pastel. While we like middle eastern food, we don't usually associate it with originality & refinement. Here, classic Lebanese dishes are deconstructed & reinvented. The fish "tagine" had only a few tablespoons of delicious couscous next to a filet which had been cooked perfectly sous vide. We enjoyed the exceptional raw beef kibbeh with their excellent flatbread, warm from the oven. The Lebanese white wine was served at the right temperature & made a satisfying accompaniment. The interior is finished in comforting warm tones. Service was genuinely friendly. & finally, we were surprised how little we spent for the quality of the food.
What an amazing culinary journey we had at this Lebanese-inspired gem! The menu is creative, flavorful & so much fun! The service was excellent , the music was on point & the amazing wine selection elevates the overall experience. It is a dining destination not to be missed. PS: ask for their music room, you won't be disappointed ;)
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.
