Un joli restaurant avec un accueil super.
Les sandwichs sont excellents ainsi que les salades & plus encore.
La terrasse est magnifique.
Le service est rapide.
Les toilettes sont propres.
Nourriture délicieuse & portions généreuses !
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre repas chez Omnivore sur Saint-Laurent. La salade fatouche était très savoureuse, le hummus accompagné de légumes grillés était excellent, & les portions sont vraiment généreuses. Petit point à améliorer : un peu plus de pain pita aurait été apprécié pour accompagner tout le hummus.
Par contre, le gros point faible a été le service, vraiment très lent. Même pour des demandes simples comme une assiette pour partager ou la facture, l'attente a été longue. Le service des plats aussi a pris beaucoup de temps.
Malgré tout, les saveurs étaient au rendez-vous & la qualité de la nourriture était excellente.
A great place to visit for casual dinning Lebanese restaurant The Good: - The chicken skewer with plate was delicious with tender chicken cubes, generous fattoush salad & delicious garlic sauce, rice with lentils, & hummus all for just $22 - The Kebbes (Fried burgle ball crust filled with minced meat & pine nuts mix) were perfectly crispy & the hummus served with it complemented the flavors very well Things to Improve: - Hummus would be better if it was creamier & richer. The one we were server was a bit grainy & diluted a bit - Chicken skewer would be better if they were less salty & maybe with two more chicken cubes as I feel it was little for the plate

Very average Humus from Costco Baba from Adonis Decent salads & meat Defiantly not 4.7 stars that is advertised Good place to get something on the go but not for a sit down
Ok this really pains me cause this is one of my favorite restaurants. But over the years, their portions have gotten incredibly small for take out, & the meat very dry. I was still hungry after a full plate meal & that was pretty unusual. Half the plate was quite literally the garlic sauce & hummus, & the other half was salad/rice/meat squeezed into the container. Maybe the container they use needs to be revisited, cause with the circle aluminum ones, I always felt satisfied & (so sorry to say this) not ripped off.
Overall, I've enjoyed the food very much in Montreal. This meal was really what I was craving. Both the chicken & beef were perfect to me, just the right texture, seasoning, & juiciness. The spicy garlic sauce makes a great compliment to both meats. The fattouche salad was a perfect tangy contrast to the savory & spicy of everything else. The lentil rice was good, with more than a hint of fennel. The hummus definitely tasted house made fresh & yummy, the only negative for me is a personal taste: one of the two hummus flavors had a chipotle taste.. I do not enjoy chipotle at all. I had to add a second picture once I discovered the little nest of pickled cabbage hidden on my plate.. it has such a vibrant color & such a unique flavor: a salty, vinegary tang that was such a good contrast to everything else on the plate. Highly recommend this place.
Sandwiches were decent, salads were mediocre & the babaganoush was very good. However, our entire was messed up. We got home to find that the potatoes for one of our combos was missing. It wasn't worth the effort to go back. Very disappointing. In addition, our sandwiches were labeled wrong so we started to eat each other's & then noticed they weren't right.
Awesome Lebanese food. Super friendly service. Nice music. Three of us shared a Carnivore plate with chicken & beef kabobs, hummus, babaganoush, garlic sauce, delicious rice, & a nice green salad. For dessert we shared the house made namoura & ma'amoul with tea. We loved this place! Will definitely be back.
Un gros coup de coeur. Fraîcheur & saveur sont au rendez-vous. Le poulet est d'une tendreté incroyable cuit sur le gril & que dire de la salade d'orzo Wow.
The food was okay/good. I got a combo with a chicken wrap, a salad, & a lemonade. The salad tasted of too much vinegar but it was still okay. I got charged $3 for hot sauce on my bill but I was not informed of this fee when I asked.

I absolutely love this place! I've been numerous times & have never been disappointed. Most recently, I have a newer menu item: chicken Cesar wrap. FANTASTIC is all I have to say. The quality of their ingredients is present. The way they do a slight fusion on their Lebanese dishes, I'm in love! I also would recommend their orzo salad & Djaj sandwich! The ambiance is funky, definitely a casual one. The staff is always generous & present.
20 juin'24, Amélioration nette dans l'ambiance, nouveau déco accueillant & toilettes propres. Repas très bon, indiscutable. *** Seul détail, pas d'air climatisé *** 😱 Svp régler ceci assez rapidement, pas juste pour les clients. Il y a 2 ans ... Je peux certifier que les assiettes commandés sont les plus authentiques des mets libanais au plateau Montroyal. Salade fatouche croustillante, viande juteuse, moussaka de bon goût. Service agréable. Je retourne & recommande d'essayer. p.s. Toilettes convenables.
Really cute & unassuming spot we happened upon - & the food was superb! Their rosé (Gris) was really great as well. I took my vegan friend there & she had many options to choose from & they took great care of us. I ate carnivore & had both the chicken & beef & they were both super tender & very tasty. All salads & dips were fantastic & super fresh. Highly recommend! Sad I didn't take any photos - but the presentations were all pretty too - no frills, great eats.
Serveuse sympathique mais qui explique mal ... marqué pain 🥖 mais ce n'est pas ça c'est comme un 'tacos salade avec plus de salade verte que d'autres accompagnements Bref je ne recommande pas !
