Review Summary

Reviewers consistently describe Sumac as a cozy, welcoming spot serving fresh, flavorful Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes with bold, balanced flavors. Favorites include falafel, chicken shawarma, muhammarah, hummus, labneh, kufta, and pita, with the in house pita getting particularly praised; portions are often generous for sharing, though a few note that plates can feel pricey and that takeout portions can be smaller than expected. The menu blends traditional staples with bright, modern touches and is praised for freshness and quality, while the service is described as friendly, efficient, and attentive in a casual counter service setting. The atmosphere ranges from lively and buzzy to warm and intimate, and several reviews compare the flavors to home or to other Lebanese spots, with some hoping for a second location. Overall, Sumac is seen as a reliable, high quality option with consistent taste that delivers good value on most orders, despite occasional concerns about noise and value on certain items.

This is an Israeli restaurant 🇮🇱🇮🇱
Its not Lebanese as indicated in many reviews here. Shawarma & salad tastes bland. Humus was mediocre. I didn't like the food. Prices are expensive I paid about $40, certainly not worth it. I even didn't enjoy the atmosphere. There are many other nice authentic shawarma places. I don't recommend this one!

SMALL PORTIONS if you choose the plate & it gets expensive when you want an extra protein. Every year, I have seen their portions get smaller & smaller. The pita sandwich is a nice portion. Good food but if you're hungry, I don't recommend. I used to be a regular. Now, maybe twice a year.

Bonsoir,

J'ai récemment eu le plaisir de dîner dans cet établissement. Le service était irréprochable : attentionné, rapide & professionnel. Quant à la cuisine, elle était tout simplement excellente, avec des plats savoureux & parfaitement exécutés.

Seul petit bémol : l'ambiance manquait légèrement de dynamisme. Cependant, la qualité exceptionnelle des mets a largement compensé ce détail.

Je recommande vivement ce restaurant & n'hésiterai pas à y retourner.

De la cuisine du
Moyen-Orient contemporaine. Service super chaleureux. Limonade ou jus maison délicieux! Fortement recommandé pour y aller avec ses parents & leur faire découvrir le hip de la rue Notre-Dame Ouest qui gagne à être connue. Félicitations aux chefs.

Have eaten in & taken out. Would recommend dining on site only. Great flavours, honestly can't get enough - & that's precisely the problem. Portion sizes for take out are almost criminal for the prices you pay.

From the moment we entered the place everything was an experience, they gave us a number & told us we could choose & then go straight to the checkout. The cashier was completely friendly, she recommended some drinks & advised us well with the food, the waitresses were very friendly, one of them even returned one of the dishes without having asked for it, just because of the presentation, what a detail. Clean bathroom, clean place, large tables, place 10 out of 10 to return again. The plate where the food comes is a little small which makes it difficult to eat easily, the portions are BIG & worth the price

Sat in for dinner tonight for the first time & the food was just incredible! Shared the chicken shawarma plate & the falafel plate & sumac fries with 2 adults & 2 kids. Highly recommend! I wish I could repeat the meal tomorrow.

Je viens de souper dans ce resto. Le pain goûté bon mais tout le reste est très ordinaire & ne mérite pas le prix. Pour une repas à la libanaise ou syrienne, je vous recommande de chercher ailleurs .

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

We ordered a large catering order during the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. When we arrived to pick up the food everything was ready on time & the staff helped me carry the large order to my car. The food was OUTSTANDING. Some of the best greek/Mediterranean food our group has ever had. 10/10 Service 10/10 Food Highly recommend Sumac!

Honestly, this place never disappoints. Even for pick up our orders are consistently delicious! One of our favorites in Montreal. Highly recommend if you haven't been yet!

J'ai adoré la nourriture, c'était excellent & je recommande. Par contre, j'ai moins aimé le fait de devoir commander au comptoir. J'ai également trouvé le prix des frites très très exagéré. Jusqu'à 22$ 🥴

One of the best Arab Mediterranean (Lebanese?) places I've ever dined at, period! The salads were all fantastic. I particularly loved the falafel & the sabich platters. The Muhammara was up there with the best-rich & nutty! Quantities are generous. Generally par for the cost.. highly recommend!

I love the food here. It's CONSISTENTLY on point. It's a relaxed vibe, & it can fill up fast but it's worth it! I recommend getting the: -labneh -kefta -falafel *the hot sauce is soo good, don't pass on it. Plus they have a North East IPA on tap. Enjoy!

Il y a des restos de shawarma & il y a Sumac. C’est le resto qui a élevé la qualité du shawarma & ça faisait un moment que je n’y étais pas retourné.

Encore une fois, le sandwich est riche en ingrédients de qualité qui se complémente super bien entre eux. On goûte la qualité & la portion est assez généreuse pour deux repas. Très bonnes frites, dorées, moelleuses avec ce léger croustillant sans tomber dans le sec. Le sumac sur les frites est exotique mais n’apporte pas grand chose au goût.

Recommandé sauf qu’à $26 pour un lunch, ça tire un peu trop vers le haut. La qualité le justifie, mais ça devient cher d’y revenir souvent.

One of my favourite restaurants in montreal!! The falafel is perfect, not dry & very flavourful. I also love the sumac fries. I always get the falafel plate & it’s enough for two people. The restaurant can get loud around dinner times but it’s still very nice. I highly recommend this place & I always bring people here to eat when they visit montreal.
