Ns sommes arrivees demi heure avant notre reservation. Le service" s'est faite desiree. ". Les boulettes d'agneau gouteuses mais trop solide & trop parfumee de sauvagine. Le reste du repas bonne. gout & fraicheur. Ns serons de retour sans doute & changement de place (de la table.)
It's a great restaurant with lots of personality! Mostly Turkish food, with some Moroccan mixed in, we went on Thursday night for a history event & went back on our own on Saturday to enjoy more menu items! The waiter even remembered us! We had a wonderful experience both times, in a clean relaxed atmosphere.The lamb is maybe the best I've EVER had! I would visit again soon, but alas, we're leaving Quebec today, & so Montréal is in the rear view mirror unless we return!

Un bon resto quoique un peu cher. L'ambiance & le service étaient excellent, mais les plats m'ont déçu par rapport au souvenir que j'en avais quand j'y suis allé la première fois.
La nourriture était excellente à part le pouding un peu trop sucré à mon goût.
J'ai fait une erreur pour le pourboire en donnant seulement 10%, une erreur de ma part. Le service méritait son 15 %.
Il faisait froid dans le resto, on aurait aimé plus de chaleur.
Nous avons pris le tagine de poulet & le couscous. Dans le cas du tagine, le poulet était coriace, tout le contraire de ce à quoi on s'attend d'un tagine, sans goût & sec!
Le couscous était aussi très décevant!
Pour quelques dollars de plus, vous pourriez proposer une version avec poulet ce qui donnerait un peu de protéines à ce plat.
Je suis souvent venue chez vous à l'heure du lunch avec des amis & les mezze m'avaient enchantée. Quand je vais au restaurant, c'est pour goûter à quelque chose que je n'ai pas envie de cuisiner tous les jours. Mais dans ce cas-ci, il aurait mieux valu que je fasse moi-meme ces deux plats. Une cliente très très déçue!
I had high expectations of this place but they weren't all met
To be fair the service was excellent, we got our order ready in less than 15 minutes & the atmosphere is great, crowded & a bit noisy but still nice
The decorations are cozy
About food:
I ordered the muhammara, it was delicious & on point but 10$ for a very small mini plate & u need to order the bread separate for 3$
I also tried the KHoudra plate it honestly lacked flavor & the veggies was undercooked, this is a main dish but it definitely doesnt fill u up i dont recommend it it was bland
The fatoush was not as it should be, barely one piece of tomato in the whole bowl & it was all lettuce!
Anything on the menu was overpriced it just felt to me like a rip off
My friends went 2 years ago & said 2 cold mezzas were offered with the plate but now u need to buy them separate for 10$ each. Thats a disappointment.
