Beautiful restaurant with amazing armenian food. Went for the first time yesterday with a couple of friends & was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Fattoush salad, the deluxe rack of lamb platter, the fried halloumi plate & the fried shrimps. Every single dish exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended restaurant & would definitely go back!
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.

The most exceptional Fatoush salad in North America can be found at Manti. We truly appreciate the new decor & ambiance. If you are fortunate enough to be served by Parsa, your experience will be nothing short of impeccable. Ajay
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.
The best place for brunch in Laval. One of the best caterers too. Everything is deliciously good with these guys, but make sure try their take on the traditional Armenian manti. Their fattouche salad is also to die for!
Walked into the restaurant not knowing there was a private event. The owner was super accommodating & helped his team to set up the patio for us. We wanted to try their top dishes since we were visiting from NY. Manti was obsolete the best!!! Kids loved it so much we had to ask for more. Salads, chicken, potato's, etc was delicious. Nareg nailed the customer service. It was 100 out of 100. Always support the businesses that care about their customers & put love & passion into their business. We will be visiting Manti on our next trip to MTL. 🇦🇲❤️
today 12 November 23, i went to pick up manti! outrageous price, so i decided to try something else, borek, nothing to do with traditional borek, its their own version. Manti is NOT an Armenian restaurant nor it is Turkish. Most of the food is Canadianized served with ingredients not proper to Mediterranean food. Obviously i will not be returning to Manti but if you are looking for expensive salads it is your place.
Not impressed. Only thing that was different & tasty was the salad but not ´fattoush', filet mignon too salty & overcooked so was the kebbes. Side dishes nothing wow. Worse food I had, overpriced. Not inviting staff. They told me order would be ready in 20 mins I got there waited 30 minutes more & not a single apology. Won't go back.
