Exceptional place. Great for shisha & food. Authentic taste. Very pricey, but definitely worth it to come once in a while or just to smoke shisha. Free parking available.
Food was amazing . Service was fast The servers were amazing .. on a very busy Saturday night we were served very well , they were polite with big smile on their face & running none stop .. Shisha service was great Everything was amazing .. the only negative that I would say is the manager made it very obvious that he wanted us to leave .., even tho there was ppl there before us & still sitting with their shisha .. when we stood up the manager removed the chair while we're standing to make new tables & it was disrespectful ..
Après 20h00, les clients peuvent fumer du shisha, alors les enfants sont seulement permis avant! Menu dégustation : pour 75$, tu as droit à très beaucoup de nourriture. Je trouve que ça vait bien la peine surtout si tu veux un peu de tout. La présentation des plats est également bien jolie. Sujuk roll: meilleure chose que j'ai mangé de toute la soirée. Les épices arméniennes sont parfaites avec tout juste assez de piquant. les rouleaux sont croustillants jusqu'au bout & cela dure tout le repas. Ce plat tout seul me dinne l'envie de revenir Kibbeh Nayeh: c'est un tartare de boeuf bien en purée, ce que je n'aime pas trop surtout parce qu'il n'y a pratiquement pas d'assaisonnement. Le tartare goûte principalement l'huile & la saveur provient des piments marinés. Je teouve ça assez décevant pour 24$, il n'y a pas grands ingredients. C'est une grande portion, mais les saveurs sont absents. Cette assiette est bien remplie. La viande de boeuf hachée & grillée est savoureuse, un petit peu sec mais ça ne me dérange pas beaucoup comme les accompagnements complimentent bien. Je ne sais pas c'est quoi le nom du dessert, mais il a une texture molle, mais "chewy" assez satisfaisant. Je ne suis personnellement pas fan du pistache, alors ce n'est pas pour moi, mais je le recommanderai à d'autres gens. Le service est bon, il n'y a pas eu d'erreurs dans les commandes malgré le groupe de 11 personnes. Le décor est très joli & l'ambiance est vraiment amusante. Malgré le shisha partout, l'atmosphère n'était pas suffoquante.
Amazing food, amazing service. Definitely my go to place for a nice night with the wife. Only one slight adjustment if possible, way too much smoke from the shisha, maybe turning on the ventilation or designating a space for the shisha smokers.
We had our Christmas party at Rosana & everything was perfect!!! We were a large group of people & in past experiences with other restaurants the food wasn't always top notch for big groups. But not at Rosana. The food was incredible, each dish was beautifully presented & delicious. Their cocktails are also so amazing!!! The staff is so friendly & professional; they make you feel so welcome. The ambiance is amazing, the music selection is so good & you can even smoke shisha. & if it's your birthday, you're in for a special treat of music serenade by the staff as we got to discover that night. It's hard to please a large group of people with different culinary tastes, but let me tell you that to this day, my colleagues are still talking about how delicious the food was, from the appetizers, the main course to the delicious desserts. Do yourself a favour & go to Rosana, I promise you, you will love it just as much as we all did. It truly is a gem!!!!

C'était ma première fois dans un restaurant/shisha-lounge & j'ai adoré. Mon ami & moi avons partagé une shisha & avons pris la table d'hôte. WoW la quantité de nourriture que nous avons eu. Nous ne pouvions plus voir la table ahaha. J'ai adoré la nourriture. Le restaurant était rempli a pleine capacité & il était difficile d'y circuler, mais le service était impeccable, autant pour la nourriture que pour les charbons
Food portions are very generous & honestly delicious! The shisha is good quality & vibe is just fun & positive. Very clean & the staff is super friendly. My new favourite middle eastern spot
One of the busy middle eastern restaurants in Ville Saint Laurent. Service was excellent, the staff were very friendly & helpful. I ordered a mixed grill plate & the portion was ok, mainly good for one or two in case you order mazzah. The mazzah portions are small in comparison to the price. I ordered a plate of Muhamara & Fattoush the portions were bearly enough for two people. This restaurant is not kids friendly since they offer shisha so if you also can’t be around people smoking shisha the I recommend you go somewhere else. Other than that the experience was acceptable & I could come back again to try more meals on their menu.
Excellent food, the best I’ve had in a while. The decor is on point, everything is really nice. Was a little disappointed with the service & the atmosphere however. We were going there for Iftar & when we arrived they told us that they didn’t any soup left so we couldn’t get the iftar menu. We ended up having 2 cold mezze (kebeh nayeh & muhamara), 2 hot mezze (cheese rolls & sujuk rolls), 2 salads (fattoush & tabouleh) & a platter of grilled meat for 65$/each for 2 people. The waiters were running all over the place & each time it was a new waiter. The atmosphere is quite loud & the tables are so close to each other that you feel like you are eating with the people on the table next to yours. They also allow shisha in the restaurant which can be annoying for those who don’t smoke. I would recommend this restaurant but I think they should work on a few things so that people could get a better overall experience.
