Patisserie Samadi & Fils is described as a beloved destination for Lebanese sweets, with a wide range of baklava, maamoul, pistachio rolls, and especially knefeh and kunefe praised for freshness and authentic flavors. Many note a bright, clean setting and a welcoming space, with some locations having undergone a makeover that impressed customers. The pastry quality is consistently highlighted as fresh and delicious, with knefeh often called the best in town and the shop a popular choice for events. Service experiences vary, with some reviews praising friendly, helpful staff while others recount unfriendly or rushed service, though a particularly courteous staff member is mentioned in one instance. Prices are sometimes described as high and parking can be challenging, and a few critiques advise checking assortments before leaving due to perceived uneven plate variety. Overall the patisserie is seen as a true gem for authentic Middle Eastern sweets, a place to grab a quick treat or gifts, though experiences can differ by location and day.
I visited this patisserie few years ago & i was not impressed, plus the location is not so parking friendly, you need to go behind the building, so I excluded it from my list. Few weeks ago, i had to get some Lebanese Knefé & google suggested Samadi was the closest to my location, I entered & Wowww! The lights, the space, the cleanliness, the variety, the nice people behind the counter, everything, left me so surprised & so impressed. Whoever responsible for this makeover did a fantastic job! Parking is still a challenge, but once you're in, you'd think it was worth it :)
Les baklavas sont bons, rien à redire sur la qualité.
En revanche, je suis très déçue par la préparation du plateau mixte que j'avais demandé. J'ai fait confiance à la vendeuse pour me composer un assortiment, sans choisir moi-même. En arrivant chez mes amis, j'ai découvert un plateau très peu varié, avec surtout les mêmes morceaux, & même un type de pâtisserie où j'ai eu un seul exemplaire. Franchement, ça donne l'impression d'un choix bâclé.
Dommage, car le produit est bon, mais le service & le manque d'honnêteté dans la préparation m'ont refroidie. Je ne reviendrai pas.
Si vous y allez, je vous conseille de bien vérifier le contenu du plateau avant de repartir.
