Added to the'never again' list. Don't waste your money , very overrated & not worth it at all. You can find much better Middle Eastern food for a better price

Really enjoyed the cozy & relaxing vibes here, the interior design is very Damascus style while it's mixed Syrian & Lebanese cuisine. Hidden species from Syrian Aleppo's cuisine, which I only found it here. The dose of salt was controlled I was amazed by that, most Middle Eastern or Mediterranean cuisine in Montreal were a bit over salty & sometimes oily. Here the dishes are fresh & light, but also proper flavored. Proportion of sauces are not huge, but salad is in generous quantity. Service is superior, efficient & friendly. They took feedback from customer & responded it quickly. As I complained the proportion of my lemonana was small they offered me another cup, I felt a bit awkward as our table brother immediately offered that. Variety of kebab & other meat dishes like sandwiches are also impressive. Kebab was dry & lean, which was totally my preference. In conclusion, highly recommended!

The best service, the most delicious food in taste & presentation. Atmosphere is middle eastern & has historic mood that takes you to the past & nourishes you in the present.

Food is average minus. Portions are big but taste is disproportional. Wasn't sure to rate it 3 or 2. Service was utterly bad: one single waitress serving the whole restaurant, with a grim face. Even when 2 others joined, it remained very slow & inaccurate. They also got us the main plate before the appetizers (meza). Regarding the atmosphere, it is indeed middle eastern with Fairouz music

Let's talk about the food & the quality. I'm rating their so called breakfast menu. The quality is not great, yes the food seemed to be made fresh however that is as far as they go to giving you good food. Do not get Zaatar, because they have taken the word zaatar to literally & dowsed the soft (perhaps uncooked) bread with zaatar. clumpy. Zaatar for those who actually know what it should taste like, should be a little on the crispy side & the zaatar in olive oil should be in-printed into the bread base. I'm not sure what sure what oil is used since all you can taste & see is the overload of zaatar. Generally it should be made with the healthier oil like olive oil not using inflammatory oils like vegetable oil or canola! The breakfast menu is very expensive & the food is not good. So skip it. Most small dishes are around $9-$10 mark. A little tip as a middle eastern place. When someone asks for tea in a pot , don't be cheap & use one teabag better yet if you're supposedly authentic then use real tea, not tea dust in bag. Also no one wants bright yellow tea! Now the environment looks good & clean however the booth seats are uncomfortable & over powering candle smells everywhere which is not heathy to have at any time let alone when trying to eat! However to be fair our server was nice & accommodating to anything we asked. :)

Mirage is a Syrian/middle eastern restaurant with nice oriental family-oriented style. Unfortunately, almost all other Syrian restaurants are filled with Shishas & bars. A bit pricey but if you want a family friendly environment & good food, Mirage is a good option.
