Manti is widely regarded as an exceptional dining destination, consistently praised for its high-quality, authentic Lebanese and Armenian cuisine. Many guests highlight the vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautiful presentation of dishes like the fattoush salad, beef manti, hummus, and kanafeh. While the vast majority of diners describe the atmosphere as elegant, cozy, and welcoming, and the service as professional and attentive, a small number of reviews mention concerns regarding portion sizes relative to price, occasional service delays, or noise levels during busy periods. Despite these isolated points of feedback, the overwhelming consensus reflects a memorable, top-tier culinary experience that keeps customers returning for both brunch and dinner.
'Absolutely amazing experience! The flavours were incredible - everything tasted fresh, vibrant, & made with great quality ingredients. You can really tell care goes into every dish. The freshness stood out from the first bite, & the service made the experience even better. The staff was welcoming, attentive, & made us feel well taken care of. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to & recommending to others!'

The food is where Manti truly shines. Each dish is beautifully presented, combining traditional flavors with a modern touch.

Wishing the entire team continued success-what you are building here is something special.
It is very rare that a restaurant has this kind of effect on me.
For context - I'm from Toronto, I split my time between Toronto & Montreal, & I'm Lebanese/Armenian. My family has been cooking everything from scratch for generations. Because of that, I'm extremely hard to impress when it comes to Lebanese or Armenian food. I almost never prefer restaurant versions over home cooking.
This place? Absolutely phenomenal.
First, the environment. Clean, minimalist, not pretentious, but thoughtfully designed. It's not'high-end' in a flashy way - it's just done right. The service was exceptional. The two servers were attentive without being overbearing. They picked up on details. That level of care genuinely surprised me.
Now the food.
The fattoush was one of the best I've ever had outside of home. Crisp lettuce, super fresh vegetables, perfectly fried pita, & beautiful contrast with pomegranate. I was honestly shocked at how much I loved it.
We ordered kibbeh nayeh (raw kibbeh), which I usually never order outside because we make it fresh at home. It wasn't my mother's - but it was really, really good. That says a lot.
The hummus with kawarma (stewed meat on top) was phenomenal. Paired with the fattoush, it was unreal. I don't think I've ever fallen in love with hummus & meat like that before.
Batata harra - fried spiced potatoes with toum - amazing. My only note is I wish it had a little more heat, but the flavour was excellent.
The manti (beef dumplings with garlic yogurt, dried mint, sumac, & pepper) were some of the best I've had - & I've had them at very traditional spots. Exceptional.
My only wish is for the pita bread to be served warm.
& dessert.
Kanafeh pain perdu. Perfect portion. Crispy, sweet, balanced. The cheese was absolute perfection. 10 out of 10. Truly.
I haven't asked to speak to an owner to compliment them in over 10 years. I did here. The owner looked young - & he should be incredibly proud. With rising costs & declining quality in so many restaurants lately, this place delivered on everything: service, cleanliness, creativity, flavour, execution.
This was an exceptional meal. Truly a 11/10 experience.
The photos & videos honestly don't do it justice. I'll be back - & next time, I'm bringing more people.
