I've had Sumac many times before & never felt compelled to leave a review but today was just an A1 experience. Every element in the falafel pita was individually well-seasoned & flavorful & fresh. Service was super friendly & place was clean. I highly recommend

Fantastic Lebanese restaurant. The plates are nicely put together with a generous portion of meat, lovely salads, fresh bread seasoned with zataar & some amazingly-textured hummus. I found one piece of bread not enough for the amount of meat but that's only because the portion was so good. Flavours were all very complimentary. I think at their price point, table-service would be appropriate but the service is still great nontheless. Atmosphere leans towards the casual side, doesn't quite fit the cuisine but it's still nice. Plan to return on my lunch breaks in the future.

So I'm sure many people will disagree with my ratings but here is why. Food Fries: frozen, pasty, covered in their seasoning which lacks salt & anything to wow you. I don't like ketchup & had to use ketchup to add flavour & moisture & then realized this & stopped - waste of money period! Don't sell inferior product & sell at home made pricing. Picketed beet: very good, crisp & fresh Pita: nicely warmed with zatar seasoning was good Green cabbage salad: with lean on, dill, cabbage & some sort of creamy substance - maybe mayonnaise (mit certain) & tahini not sure, was good Hummus spread topped with seasoning & olive oil, average & too smooth. Shawarma: a big let down. It's as if they cooked the shawarma before, heated it up on a skillet with some oil to moisten it, then sprinkle shawarma seasoning all over it making it dry & over cooked. Not so good. Salad cuit (cooked tomatoes salad) was excellent. Kefta (middle eastern hamburger): not fully cooked, seasoning was so so & lacked moisture. As a non sauce person I found myself needed to dip in to ketchup to add flavour & moisture - & I don't like ketchup. & they are really small burgers so it should be easy to cook it right. Overall I round that the value to not be so good. I just recently went to a middle eastern restaurant offering the same food, & it was plentiful so much so that two people could eat it & the quality was high & fresh as can be. Shawarma moist & juicy & not recooked & overdone with powder seasoning all over it. This is not (to me) the way it is in the Middle East, it's their version. If you're looking for true middle eastern in afraid this is (for the most part) not it. It's not bad, & it's not great, it's just ok - but for the portion I feel pricing a little high. The staff are nice & knowledgeable & the interior is nothing fancy but clean & nice & people aren't packed in so you have good personal space. Parking in the area is a real challenge & for me it's not a place I would go a 3rd time. I did come here when they opened & thought the food was a little better or perhaps my memory escapes me. Nonetheless, À chacun ses goûts taste.

Good food. I love the falafels here coz they are fresh. The salads are good. Desserts weren't that good. Slightly expensive

This is my go to place for pita sandwich. I always get the shishtaouk or the sabich. Sometimes I feel like not eating so much meat. For bigger portions, when you have the time, I like to get the big plate with two side dishes or salads. Any of them are good honestly. Ingredients are fresh, & the quality is consistant. It never disappointed me.
