Overall Shish-Kebab emerges as a top option in Montreal for Lebanese cuisine, combining flavorful, well presented dishes with a hospitable environment that lingers in memory.
Food & atmosphere is great. We had reserved a table for 8 people & they said to be there on time but when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty.
Aside from food & decoration, the service was terrible. The young lady who was serving us, was soooo slow despite the fact that there was no one else in the restaurant! Every time we asked her for something she said give me two minutes. She was scrolling her phone & talking to her frineds/colleagues.
While we were still eating food on the table she started to pick half-empty plates that we were eating from, without even asking us!! She forgot to bring enough water bottles & every time we had to ask her to complete her service!
At the end, I tipped her just a few dollars to show her that we are not happy with her service...she reacted with a very rude facial expression with no thank you!
I suggest managers of this restaurant to reconsider their hiring process & their employees atitude toward customer service.

The place is beautiful & nicely decorated. Food is very good in montreal or laval there are plenty of competition, so anywhere you go to eat must have a specialty or good food. We picked total of 6 appetizers Tabouli was one of them & it was really good. I dont usually eat tabouli if I dont make it at home because I like it extra lemony & Juicy & they have got that. The mouhammara is beyond amazing same goes to makanek. Batata harra was average. The Habra naye was good same goes to the shrimp.
Everything was PERFECT!!! We tried Mechwi shish kebab, a masterpiece, it comes with 4 different kebabs, all of them were delicious. Also appetizers were amazing, hummus & baba Ganouch & salad. The kebabs had a delicious tomato spread bread & a huge fries bowl with special garlic sauce with them. In one word this is my favorite place in montreal. Will come back soon.
New update:
Went there again & it was masterpiece again, we tried Muhammara & Tabouli, they were delicious & the Tabouli salad was perfect with a pretty big portion.
The best lebanese meze restaurant in canada. If you are in montreal & want to experience true lebanese cuisine, you absolutely need to visit Shish-Kebab.

Bonne nourriture,
1. Service : laisse à désirer: ramassage des assiettes, sourire & amabilité de la jeune serveuse
2. Musique trop répétitive & non variée
3. Insonorisation: mauvaise, présence de bruits & d'échos
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.
Food Quality: 5 stars. Cannot have better than this outside.
Prices: bit high given quality is good
Sizes: main dishes/plates are large. Side plates, not much. We ordered baba ghannouj & paid 12$ for it, got 1 scoop. It was great quality but small in size.
Service: i wished when we ordered the large Fattouch salad we were topd our main plates already have salad with them. We would not have ordered separate salad in the first place. Sure, it is written somewhere in the menu but it is important to mention it to the customer out of concern on the customer's interest.
