Very good restaurant, the dishes are original & tasty! The service was also very good. Only downside: I had to give my credit card number to book which is unusual because we were only 2 people.

The food was great but they gave our table INSIDE to another group & we had to sit outside while it was very windy. I made reservation a week before. Disappointing

J'ai réservé pour mon anniversaire dans notre restaurant préféré. Les plats étaient incroyables comme d'habitude. Mais le serveur Ethan, qui a pas été un serveur incroyable (ne demande pas qui goûte le vin, sert directement l'homme, sert les verres de vins jusqu'au bord, ne sait pas expliquer les plats juste sur ce qui est noté sur la carte...). & au moment de payer, il voit sur la note que nous lui avons laisser 5 cad de pourboire & il n'a pas accepté & nous a obligé à mettre 40 dollars de pourboire ? On lui a demandé pourquoi on a essayé de discuter & il ne répondait pas mais restait à côté pour nous mettre la pression. Je suis à Montréal depuis 1 an je n'ai jamais vu ça & cela nous a gâché le moment. Il a pensé que nous étions des touristes & en a profité pour nous mettre la pression en nous obligeant.

I loved it here! The location, ambiance, the beautiful terrace the service, the cocktails were so different, mature & flavourful with tastes of the middle east. Food was delicious. It was all the familiar flavours of middle eastern food but upgraded.
