Surprisingly basic & expensive price-point for their offer. Service for my table was 1 star, as it was for most guests near our table. Our server did the experience a 1-star but the kitchen was good. I had to visit the website twice to confirm that I was in the right place. Some of the pics online do not nearly represent the place- a bit misleading in my opinion. We selected the option for a menu for 2, pretty generous portions. The server limited her interactions to taking the order, not even confirming dishes. Not even a description of dishes or tour of their ingredients or anything. In all, I ended up ordering extra items because of communication gaps. Don't expect a'do you need anything?','thank you for visiting' or eye-contact. Le Chef maybe a place that offers to-go & reviews are for delivery or pick-up food; this place is a low 3.x, & a 4.8 is an artificial wishful-thinking rating. I received my check before I ordered dessert, & I cleaned the table myself before it was delivered. Spend your money elsewhere. I rarely find ratings way off. This place is not even a 3.8!

Came here about a year ago & it was decent. This recent visit was a different story. Honestly kind of insulting.

I went for the promotion, the appetizer + main + dessert trio. First red flag: the deal advertised an appetizer up to $20, but when I actually went to order, all the better options were blocked off. Even ones well under the $20 cap. So the choice was basically gone before I started.

I ended up going with the Hoummus with Awarma, which is $15. The server brought out plain hummus instead, which is a $9 dish, mumbled that they were out, & walked off before I could even respond. No heads up, no asking if I wanted something else, no adjusting the price. & I still got charged the full price. If you're out of something you tell the customer first & let them choose. You don't just swap in the cheaper version & keep the difference. Then you're just shorting the customer.

The main was fine. Pretty forgettable. By that point the service had already ruined the mood anyway. Staff were cold & short the whole time, which I honestly could have let slide if everything else hadn't gone the way it did.

For a place that is pretty expensive, the whole thing was a letdown. A promotion you water down to nothing & a dish you downgrade without telling me isn't a deal, it's a bait & switch. If you're not happy providing a promotion, why do it at all? Won't be going back, this is some of the worst service I've ever received.

I'd give this spots 6 stars if I could. My waitresses were attentive & always seemed to appear at the right time. I had the Syrien Chicken plate & everything was very fresh & flavorful. I forgot to mention sans gluten so the salad had fattoush & I had to skip it, but that was my fault. The lemonade peach slush really hit the spot after a long day of walking. Highly recommend!

Nous avons visité l'endroit juste avant la fermeture pour manger une kunafa, & c'était sans aucun doute la meilleure kunafa que j'aie goûtée à Montréal. Elle était absolument délicieuse !

Nous avons également été servis par une employée tunisienne dont le service était exceptionnel & chaleureux.

Merci pour cette expérience mémorable, ainsi que pour le magnifique décor familial & accueillant. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !
