Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

The food presentation is really beautiful & the decor is on point. The prices are a bit high for what you get & there's basically labneh in every dish so it gets redundant. If you don't like labneh, you've been warned. Very noisy so you have to yell to be heard by your friends at the table.

Phenomenal food 👌 This is probably my top Middle Eastern restaurant in Montreal. Try as much as you can from the tapas style menu as each dish is fantastic. Lovely decor, wonderfully helpful service. Parking in the area is a challenge. Fortunately, they offer valet for $15.

It's so sad to say, but every time I come, the bathroom smells so awful... it takes away from the dining experience because the food is so good!
