Looking forward to returning!

The atmosphere, the food, the service; all were amazing! Ana left us with such a memorable night of fun & great service, especially that we were celebrating a special occasion.

I love that pomegranate was incorporated in many dishes which is often forgotten in Lebanese cuisine here. The halloumi & dates, kibbeh naye, lamb kebab are a must to try! Can't miss on the refreshing fattoush as well.

I'm excited to return to try their brunch & others dishes as well.

Anna was an incredible bartender! She was so personable & sweet, & her great service really stood out. She made everyone feel welcome, took the time to connect with us, & had a positive energy that made the whole experience even better. On top of that, she was quick, attentive, & made fantastic drinks. Truly amazing all around-I would absolutely come back just for her!

Anne was an amazing waitress. She suggested some of the best food to us & was super kind. I highly recommend their lamb kebab & their roasted red pepper dip. Also, try their baklava tiramisu.

We were visiting in Montreal, & tried this restaurant. I would say it doesn't meet the expectations.

There were three of us, & we tried the tasting menu. I would say the food tastes good. We couldn't finish it, so we took out the leftover, & I found some paper in the take out ground beef the other day, which is disappointing.

The service was great.

The worst thing to me is that, the restaurant was not clean. When we were having dinner, we had to keep waving our hands to get rid of the small flies around the table & the food. There were 3-4 of them. & it's so annoying. We ended up spent $350 for that dinner, & those flies are not quite often to see in a restaurant like this. We are not eating hot dogs by a dirty street right.
