Patisserie Samadi & Fils is described as a go to for authentic Middle Eastern sweets, with a broad fresh selection including baklava, maamoul, knefeh and kaak, and the knefeh and pistachio pastries are often highlighted as standout; the store is praised for cleanliness, a welcoming atmosphere, and generally friendly service, though a few reviewers note high prices, occasional uneven fillings, and parking challenges.
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.
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!
Really love this place. The people serving the food are always so nice & specially i know nothing about these cakes & they are always keen to answer my questions. Very cozy for a breakfast as well. Specially the kunefe sandwich was awesome.
