Two young Armenian-Canadian entrepreneurs Levon Keyork and Nareg Meterissian decide to embark in the journey of opening an Armenian bistro: Manti.
“Manti” is an Armenian national dish composed of mini dumplings sizzling in a rich stock with a garlic-yogourt sauce, the whole garnished with sumac and mint.
At Manti we serve Armenian & Mediterranean classics served with a twist and a whole lot of cultural pride.
Reviews consistently praise Manti for authentic Armenian flavors, fresh ingredients, and dishes that feel generous in variety and presentation. The manti themselves are frequently described as delicious and well seasoned, with other standout items including fattoush, kebabs, and knafeh French toast. Service is described as fast, friendly, and attentive in many visits, though a few reviews note slow or inconsistent service and some errors with orders. The atmosphere is praised as cozy, warm, and stylish, with modern decor and a welcoming vibe, though some gatherings and loud music or balloon setups have at times affected the dining experience. Price and portion size receive mixed comments, with many saying prices are reasonable for the quality, while others feel portions are small or prices high in some cases. Several reviews highlight catering and events and describe Manti as a reliable choice for celebrations. Brunch is repeatedly singled out as a highlight with items like foul medames, fatteh kawarma, eggs with soujouk, and the knafeh French toast stealing the show. Overall, diners are impressed by the flavor, authenticity, and care in preparation, with many planning to return and bring friends.
Delicious food very flavorful & authentic. The manti are a must obviously 😜
One of my personal faves was the beetroot muttabal (eggplant dip). Would definitely go back there!
Food was outstanding... Beautifully presented; taste was superb & extremely flavorful.
We had at least 8 different dishes & we thoroughly enjoyed each one. It reminds me of Damas, but at far lower prices...but very very similar in terms of flavor & presentation. We were 2 & my wife is generally very critical of restaurant food, but we both loved it & will make this a part of our regular dining experiences.
Service was fast, courteous & pleasant, making the whole experience something to remember. Next time we'll be sure to take a bunch of friends so we can sample more of those delicious offerings.
We wanted to try more dishes but we were only 2 & you really need to either go as a group or be a total glutton 😁.

Amazing experience at this Armenian restaurant! I tried the manti, & it was absolutely delicious - perfectly baked, full of flavor, & served with a rich sauce that complemented it so well. You can really taste the authenticity & care put into the food.
The portions were generous, the service was friendly, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. If you're looking to try real Armenian cuisine, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!
We recently ordered catering for a birthday party, & it was absolutely outstanding! The presentation was beautiful & thoughtful, making the food look as amazing as it tasted. Every dish was incredibly delicious, full of flavor, & served in very generous portions, our guests couldn't stop raving about it. The whole process was seamless & made hosting so easy. It's clear that they have excellent catering capabilities & a real passion for quality. Highly recommend for any event!
We had a wonderful brunch experience at Manti Restaurant, warmly served by Mr Presa & Miss Hana. The ambiance was welcoming & cozy perfect for a weekend meal.
We tried the Soujouk & Oeufs, featuring fried eggs with spiced Armenian soujouk sausage & tomatoes rich, flavorful, & satisfying. The Fatteh Kawarma was a standout: a comforting mix of chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, crispy pita, & tender braised beef, topped with pine nuts & herbs. Every bite felt hearty.
As a side, the Batata Harra crispy seasoned potatoes with a touch of spice, sesame, & soft cheese was absolutely delicious.
To round out the experience, we tried both the Armenian coffee & Armenian tea. The coffee was bold & aromatic, while the tea was strong & fragrant, with a distinctive clove-forward flavor that lingered pleasantly.
Delicious food, great service, & authentic touches highly recommend this spot for a flavorful & fulfilling brunch!
We were two people for a Wednesday evening. It was recommended by a Syrian co-worker. The food was overall very good. The oregano fries were good but nothing special. The brussel sprouts were very tasty & had a good char. We ordered the rack of lamb & the shich taouk & filet mignon. Both were very good & well seasoned. The knafa french toast was the highlight. It was original & a nice twist. It wasn't too sweet & full of flavor & texture. It was very satisfying & a great way to end the meal. The waitress was nice but not that helpful in terms of ordering. We asked her what was good which is generally an opening to recommend something but she said everything & didn't offer any suggestions. We ended up deciding ourselves. The bus boy was actually more helpful. He came around often to fill water & take plates. He's the one who sold us on the dessert. It was a very good meal & will definitely come back as the food & value is very good.
We tried Armenian food for the first time & is was DELICIOUS. The quality of the ingredients rich in flavor . Definitely not our last time there . Thank you to the owner & waitress for the good vybe .
Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly & attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. The food was outstanding - fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. We tried several dishes, & each one was a delightful surprise. The fattoush salad was a highlight! Prices were reasonable for the quality & service provided. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be coming back!
After proclaiming our love of Damas to our server at Bloomfield last month, she highly recommended that we try Manti in Laval as the chef used to work there (& it was fresh & delicious & more casual/afforable ... as Damas has gone up in price by literally 115% from when we first started going about 8 years ago!). Although our hopes were high, Manti lived up to them (or, maybe even surpassed in some areas). It was in a strip mall, but had an open, airy, modern, clean-line atmosphere with an exposed kitchen to watch the chefs that made you (almost) feel like you weren't in the burbs. The staff were friendly & efficient. Pretty plates of food were brought to us with wonderful, balanced flavours & enjoyable textures! They brought out the hummus (light & whipped to almost fluffy), pita (funny how I preferred the pieces with grill marks & Mitch preferred the soft pieces), fattoush (as good as Damas,' &, I understand this chef created this one for them)...crunchy squares of toasted pita, sweet bursts of pomegranate seeds, & fresh mint are the highlights of this flavorful traditional salad... the kebbe naye (bulgar beef tartare) was a big hit with us! The texture a rich, silky, fine cut that was molded & served in slices with fine strips of raw onion on top. The quality of the olive oil on top & the freshness of the beef, along with the skill to make this were appreciated by us. We had the crispy fried shrimp served over an apricot habanero sauce that was a nice sweet-spicy balance along with an audible crunch. The only negative we had was, surprising enough, their signature dish, the Manti. They offer two varieties: beef & mushroom. We opted for the former (which was familiar to me in the larger version, mantu). Although the sauce flavours were perfect along with the yogurt & spices (& we agreed would be delicious with grilled lamb or even chicken), we found the dumpling much thicker than we like & the texture to be almost crunchy verses the expected (& desired) steamed al dente I've experienced in Afghani restaurants. Regardless, we had a wonderful experience at Laval's Manti, & are excited that we have a new go-to for casual, delicious, Middle Eastern.
Step into this Armenian restaurant, & the food was amazing! Each dish at is a celebration of the vibrant flavors & culinary traditions of Armenia, inviting you to savor every moment & experience the true essence of Armenian cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or just looking to explore something new, this restaurant is sure to leave a lasting impression with its bold flavors & impeccable execution!
I want to say a very Honest review about this food, I am Lebanese I know authentic tastes of our lovely Middle East , this place is on another level. Not just tasty, tasty & very well done, you feel it when it’s well done with love! I had a simple breakfast but for me it was a key ! The Fatte! The cheese kaak! The eggs ! & finally the french toast knefe takes you to another world love it so authentic so true flavors that melt in heart
