Shish-Kebab comes across as a consistently delicious Lebanese spot with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming service that feels like a family affair. Reviewers highlight a varied menu with standout kebabs, lamb, chicken, hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, breads, and desserts, plus vegetarian options like lentil soup and eggplant spread. The atmosphere is described as charming and lively, with a beautiful space and a terrace, and prices are generally seen as reasonable for the quality. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and friendliness, though a few visits note slower timing on busy nights or groups and suggest pre booking. Taken together, Shish-Kebab is regarded as one of the best Lebanese dining experiences around, a place people return to for celebrations, family meals, and reliable favorites.
Absolutely outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented-every bite was perfection. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made us feel truly valued. Portions were generous & the quality exceeded expectations. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Highly recommend & will definitely be coming back!
This was one of my most favourite experiences of Lebanese food ever. The freshness of the fattoush salad, the balance of lemon/parsley/salt in the tabouleh, the doneness of the grilled Kafka/filet mignon, fresh cut & crispy potatoes.. even the proportion of fat & lemon of the garlic sauce..(I could go on).. add to that the attentive service & warm atmosphere of the restaurant.. theses pushed it over the edge.. it all amounted to a wonderfully escapist experience of food that we all are all searching for.
The best restaurant in montreal. Any time we have a special occasion we always come to shish kebab. Antonios service is always top notch & the food is consistently fresh & delicious!

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Exceptional Experience at the Shish Kebab Restaurant on L'Acadie!
We recently hosted our henna celebration night at this wonderful restaurant, & it was truly unforgettable. The atmosphere was warm, festive, & welcoming - the perfect setting for such a special occasion. The staff went above & beyond to make sure everything was smooth, comfortable, & beautifully arranged for our group.
The food was outstanding. The shish kebab was tender, juicy, & full of rich flavor, & all the sides were fresh & delicious. Every guest commented on how amazing the meal was. The generous portions & authentic taste made the night even more memorable.
From the service to the ambiance to the quality of the dishes, everything exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant for any event, gathering, or celebration - especially if you want great food & a warm, memorable experience.

Such a beautiful place with delicious cuisine! Everything was super fresh & tasty 😋

Highly recommended!
Overall, we had a very good experience dining at Shish Kebab.
The food was tasty, the portions were generous & reasonably priced.
Dominic, our waiter, provided great service & recommendations & kindly offered tea on the house.
Although the restaurant wasn't busy, it took a bit of time for our food to arrive. It's likely because we were a group of 8. We weren't in a rush & the fresh food was worth the wait. We would be happy to go back & try new dishes.
Everything was amazing the people the ambience Dominic our server for the night was very welcoming & kind, the food beyond what I thought amazing fresh authentic

The food was really good! Tasted authentic & fresh. Been here a few times & was always happy with the food. My recommendation is to go with a group of people to order a few plates to share. The service was good & fast. The atmosphere of the restaurant was clean & modern. Had a nice time!
This is elite Shish Kebab. Best I've had in my life. The hummus, grape leaves, meat, fresh vegetables, service & presentation were incroyable. A hidden gem we were happy to fall upon.
The food is so amazing & fresh. I have come at least 5 times & order different items each time. Everything is delicious! The sangria is also lovely. Also great atmosphere. I wish I could come every day - I don't think I would ever get bored or be disappointed in the food quality.
