⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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.

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.
I have been in Montreal for 20 years. This is the most authentic Lebanese restaurant I have been to. The food is tasty with generous portions. The service is top & the waiters are respectful. The atmosphere is calm & is convenient for all ages, families, couples or singles.
What a spectacular vibe for a date! Portion sizes for food were very generous, & the approachable & professional service from our waiter Dominic was the best part of our experience!
Authentic Lebanese food across from Marché Central. Tried their shish kebab & kafta platters, & were very impressed. Grilled meats were tender & delicious & accompaniments were all outstanding (grilled tomato & onion, hummus, & fantastic toasted spicy pita). Also comes with a generous fresh garden salad. The homemade fries are to die for. Great food, good value.
We visited this Resturant yesterday & we were pleasantly impressed. The place & interior design is cool & clean . The portions are generous & tasty Our server was friendly despite the fact that she was busy serving customers. Initially they serve you with a nice complimentary olives plate & that was very tasty . We ordered the Meshawi Meshkal for two & it was a good option The beef was tender, juicy , & perfectly done . Chicken was juicy - flaky with no overpowering garlic taste ( which I really like ) . The chef provided us with a complimentary Baba ghanouj plate which was very nice . We also ordered the cheese rolls (Rakakat) & they tasted very good For the Prices we find them to be reasonable. Overall excellent experience & we will be back for sure .

Been here a couple of times. I won't probably go back. The food is fresh & tasty. The service is very slow. The portions are small. I heard it used to be more generous a few years ago. I guess this is what is happening with a few places during the recent economic crisis & inflation. I must confess I went with a former'friend'. She took me here. I paid. She is a very materialistic person & unappreciative in general. I guess she is one of those Lebanese princesses who thinks the world revolved around her. Anyhow, maybe my less than favorable experience may have been due to the company I was with. Who knows, maybe I will go back one day. Not in the near future.
