Such a beautiful place with delicious cuisine! Everything was super fresh & tasty 😋
The staff were super friendly - Dominic was very welcoming 😌
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.
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.
Dominic was outstanding. Suggested the family meal plate & it was fabulous & very tasty. The meat, the hummus, the fries & The salad were all top-notch. We're definitely coming back over & over.
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.

The food was good, the fries are delicious, the meat was well-prepared & tender. The hummus was great. Lots of dressing on the salad, but otherwise everything was quite tasty. Many items on the menu were not available (including draft beer, & of the selection of more than half a dozen bottled beers, only two were available). We received our appetizer salads & everything went well. We had ordered hummus to share as an appetizer, but it arrived after our mains. When asked about the appetizer, the waitress said the cook were preparing it from scratch. We were then offered one of the mains (party of 4). We waited 10 minutes & the three other mains were still not arrived. We asked the waitress if the other 3 mains would arrive shortly, & she muttered something under her breath before leaving us. Upon the arrival of the mains, we were told they were short-staffed (only three tables were busy, they had two waitresses, I don't know about the kitchen staff). We were not offered coffee / tea & desserts, & had to go to the counter to know if we needed to pay there or wait at our table, since no one came by to ask us if we wanted anything else, despite the restaurant not being busy. Given that there were two waitresses & only three busy tables, it felt like we were neglected. Bravo to the chef, but customer service needs to step its game up to be of the same level as the food is. It felt like our business was a burden on the waitresses.
