Patisserie Samadi & Fils is described as a standout for authentic Middle Eastern sweets, with frequent praise for fresh, high quality options such as knefeh, kunefe, baklava, maamoul, and kaak with knafeh, along with attractive presentation and a wide variety. The shop is noted for a clean, welcoming, cozy atmosphere and staff who are often friendly and helpful, though some visits mention uneven service and price concerns, and a few reviews reference parking challenges or past quality hiccups that have improved. The Arabic coffee is highlighted as a superb pairing, and the patisserie is seen as a good choice for events or gifts, with many calling the knefeh among the best in town. Overall, the sentiment centers on exceptional flavor and freshness, while caveats include occasional service issues and higher prices.
My sister & I visited Pâtisserie Samadi on the day of Eid to treat ourselves. We bought an assorted box of pastries, & honestly, their maamoul was absolutely delicious! The quality of the sweets is excellent & fresh.
However, the customer service was really disappointing. Both women working there were unpleasant & unwelcoming. We greeted them politely, but they didn't even respond, not a single smile or acknowledgment. It truly felt like we were bothering them. The only friendly & respectful person was a man working there, who greeted us with a smile & made us feel welcome. Thank you to him! Such amazing pastry should come with good quality serive.
A true gem in Montreal - authentic, delicious, & unforgettable!
We had such an incredible experience at Pâtisserie Samadi & Fils on Gouin. This place is a treasure for anyone who loves traditional Middle Eastern sweets. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with the rich aroma of fresh pastries, nuts, & warm hospitality.
We tried a wide variety of items - baklava, nammoura, maamoul, pistachio rolls, & of course, the legendary kaak with knafeh - & everything was absolutely perfect. The kaak with knafeh was especially unforgettable: warm, soft bread filled with gooey, sweet cheese knafeh & just the right touch of syrup. It's the kind of dessert that makes you stop mid-bite & smile. A must-try!
& let's talk about the Arabic coffee - smooth, rich, & perfectly spiced with cardamom. It was the perfect pairing for the sweets & honestly one of the best coffees we've had in the city.
The staff were very friendly & welcoming, & they took the time to explain the different types of pastries. The store was clean, beautifully organized, & had an amazing selection of ready-made gift boxes - perfect for any occasion.
Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or looking to bring home authentic Arabic desserts, Pâtisserie Samadi - Gouin is the place to go. We came from the South Shore & it was more than worth the drive. Can't wait to return again soon!
I can't say enough great things about Samadi Sweets & their exceptional customer service! My order was unfortunately lost by UPS, but Zakariya went above & beyond to make sure I received my sweets. He quickly arranged for a replacement shipment & kept me updated throughout the process. The dedication & care he showed were truly outstanding.
& of course, the sweets themselves were absolutely delicious-fresh, authentic, & full of flavor. This level of service & quality is rare to find. I highly recommend Samadi Sweets to anyone looking for top-notch treats & incredible customer care. Thank you again, Zakariya, for your kindness & effort!
Incredible experience ordering mamoul for eid to Ontario. We order every eid & we are always blown away by how speedy their service is & how fresh the mamoul is. Not to mention how incredible it tastes. Cannot recommend them enough! :)
I have been coming this place for years.They make the best lebanese desserts. Their ashta is always fresh. I definitely recommend the shabiyyat & kneffeh. Even the baklava at this place is so light compared to the ones they make at other places. No heavy sugars. Very light & tasty.
