I had the pleasure of visiting Lahmajoune Villeray yesterday , & I can't stop thinking about how incredible my experience was. As a foodie who has a Turkish bestfriend & enjoys Turkish lahmajoune at her childhood house whenever she visits , I had to give this place a try-& I'm so glad I did! Located in the heart of Villeray, this cozy takeout spot has been serving the local community for over 40 years, & now I completely understand why. Owned by a warm & welcoming Syrian family, the restaurant truly feels like an extension of their deep passion for sharing their rich culinary heritage. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go, taking home a full meal, or planning a get-together, Lahmajoune Villeray consistently delivers top-notch quality in every dish.
I'll be posting a video review on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) & Instagram (@Foxyappetite) soon!
In depth review:
Food Quality:
During my visit, I decided to try a few items I'd never had before, including the namoura & mouhamara, both of which exceeded my expectations. The namoura-a sweet semolina cake soaked in syrup-was rich & moist, with a delicate floral note that made it a perfect ending to my meal. The mouhamara, a smoky, tangy dip made with roasted red peppers, walnuts, & olive oil, was bold & flavorful with just the right amount of spice. It paired wonderfully with their perfectly seasoned pita chips.
I also ordered both the meat & vegetarian kibbeh, & they were outstanding. The meat version was rich & flavorful, while the vegetarian option was equally delicious-surprisingly moist & packed with hearty ingredients & spices. A real treat!
Another standout was the hummus, which was silky smooth & creamy, with a perfect balance of flavors. The tzatziki was equally impressive-fresh, creamy, & refreshing, with a lovely balance of cucumber & herbs that complemented the richer dips & meats beautifully. & the tabbouleh-wow! It was so light, fresh, & bursting with zesty lemon flavor, making it the ideal palate cleanser.
Of course, I can't forget the Lahmajoune. The thin, crisp flatbread topped with spiced ground meat was simply perfect. Each bite was full of flavor but never greasy, showcasing the ideal balance of savory spices. It's clear that they've truly perfected this dish.
Service:
What really made my experience unforgettable, however, was the exceptional service. The family behind Lahmajoune Villeray is incredibly warm & welcoming, making you feel like you're not just a customer but a guest in their home. They genuinely care about both the food & the overall experience they provide, & that's evident in every interaction.
Atmosphere:
While Lahmajoune Villeray is primarily a takeout spot (perfect for grabbing something delicious to enjoy at home or on the go), the small shop itself is clean, cozy, & inviting. The space reflects the family's passion for good food & hospitality. While it's not meant for a sit-down dining experience, it's the perfect spot to quickly pick up a delicious meal.
Conclusion:
If you're in Montreal & craving authentic Mediterranean food, Lahmajoune Villeray is an absolute must-visit. From the silky hummus & flavorful mouhamara to the crispy lahmajoune & mouthwatering desserts, every bite bursts with flavor & is made with care. The family's dedication to quality & hospitality is evident in everything they do. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or someone new to it, this hidden gem will leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended!
Excellent really sweet staff helpful passionate & delicious real food for good price
Thank god we have them in our city! The best, indeed. Amazing place, I'll be back for sure!
Moi & ma femme commandons à chaque semaine leurs feuilles de vignes. Imbattable! Tout notre famille les adores.
Les plats étaient d'une saveur exceptionnelle & l'accueil particulièrement chaleureux.
La nourriture était incroyablement bonne & le service aussi très chaleureux.
Appelez en avance les fin de semaine. Cela fait deux fois qu'ils sont en rupture de stock car s'est vraiment les meilleurs.
It was my first time visiting & was recommended from a friend. Totally worth it . The food is amazing & the family is so sweet. Thank you to be in Montreal .
Ça m'arrive très rarement d'écrire des reviews mais LÀ! Je ne pouvais passer à coter. Étant foodie de cœur, Lahmajoune est de loin un de mes coups de cœurs montréalais, un vrai "hidden gems" comme on dit! La nourriture est une explosion de saveurs & toujours très frais pour les nombreuses fois ou j'y suis allée. On voit bien la passion dans les yeux des membres familiaux qui s'y trouvent & travaillent fort pour produire des mets de qualités. Ça respire l'authenticité & l'expérience est tellement agréable. S'il y a un endroit que je recommanderais à Montréal qui est underrated c'est celui-là!
Kibbé & feuilles de vignes farcies sont délicieuses , produits frais à prix adéquats!!
Ordered here for a corporate meal.
Very friendly staff.
Food was delicious, tried a couple different lahmajoune, & everyone loved. Will definitely go back to taste more dishes!
Une institution dans Villeray! Un délice tout y est excellent! Des lahmadjoune aux trempettes en passant par les kebbe tout est Bon! Le jeune homme au comptoir qui est le fils du nouveau propriétaire est vraiment tres sympathique. Excellent Rapport qualité prix! Je recommande !
