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 show Manti as a welcoming spot that delivers authentic Armenian and Middle Eastern flavors with fresh ingredients, where the manti, fattoush, hummus with kawarma, batata harra and the knafeh French toast stand out; portions are generous and the atmosphere is warm and sociable, making it a good pick for groups and celebrations, with service described as attentive and friendly by many, though a few experiences note slower or uneven service, occasional noise and some price concerns, and a wish for warmer pita; overall the restaurant earns high praise for flavor, presentation and the inviting vibe that encourages return visits.
Extremely delicious! First time trying manti & it was amazing. We also tried the chicken/fillet mignon plate & that was great. For dessert, I can't recommend the knafa French toast enough.
I recently had lunch here & enjoyed the food & service. The restaurant was beautifully decorated & the waiters were phenomenal. The owner was also very kind. As someone who doesn't eat meat, I highly recommend that you order the lemonade, fattoush salad, mushroom manti, falafels & leave room for the ponchik donuts. Everything was a 10/10. I look forward to going back.
We had lunch at Manti. We tried the grilled shish taouk/filet mignon which was perfectly cooked, & fattoush & mezzes all excellent. We didn't enjoy the manti as much. It was good but I would order something next time. Service was great. Would definitely recommend a visit!
One of my favorite restaurants in montreal , was never dissapointed , usually take fattoush salad , batata Harra & hummus Soujok as starters , for the main dish i take the shish taouk & kebab , very tasty & the chicken is super tender .& their knafe dessert is super delicous . great place & highly recommend.

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.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Manti & it was such a delight. Every dish we ordered were beautifully presented & amazingly good. The staff were amazing & very attentive. Would go back! I would also recommend ordering their Knafa, the best way to end your dinner at Manti.
Great Armenian food & great service! The dishes were fresh, authentic & the plates well done. I will definitely go there again. Highly recommended & a must for all food lovers!
Une explosion de saveurs ! Magnifique découverte avec mon amoureux. Le temps d'un repas je me suis crue dans un autre pays. Je recommande fortement ! La prochaine fois on y va en gang ! Tous les plats étaient DÉ-LI-CIEUX.
