Great shawarma! This restaurant has a casual vibe with quality food. The cocktails were fun too!

Love the experience overall! The food was quite good, especially the shawarma plate. The beef was a little dry tho. I also was a bit disappointed that you need to order at the cash.

The restaurant has a more modern vibe compared to other Lebanese places, which is refreshing. However, I found it disappointing that they don't bring the menu or bill to the table, which feels less welcoming. We ordered the chicken shawarma & kafta kebab. The chicken was delicious & juicy, but the kebab, unfortunately, was tough. The salad seemed far from fresh, as if it had been prepared days in advance. The fries, though, were the standout! They were a masterpiece, especially with the sumac sprinkled on top, which made them unique & absolutely delicious. Overall, a mixed experience, with some definite highlights & a few areas for improvement.

Its our first time at Sumac. The hostess was very welcoming & ushered my group to a cosy corner. She also patiently explained us how & what to order. We ordered some beers & chicken shawarma plates. The beer can we ordered was very fizzy & David, the owner of the place, was kind enough to notice this & replaced it quickly. The shawarma plates were delicious & very filling! Overall a great place hosted by some wonderful people. Keep this going. We will be coming back for sure 🙏🏼❤️

Definitely a solid notch above the usual lebanese restaurants I dined to. Their shawarma chicken is more juicy, well cooked & seasoned than other similar venues. The choices of sides is also more diverse & just feel more authentic. Definitely try if you are in the area with a craving for Lebanese cuisine on the go.

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.

For whatever it's worth, my favorite spot in Montreal (was only there a week). The food was really good & creative. The fennel salad was super good with the chicken shawarma plate. I came back twice during my trip. The portions are generous & the fast casual setup is nice for a quick quality meal.

Service was excellent fair cost in comparison to the quantity of food Overall rating is 4 starts due to that the chicken shawarma is almost a taouk not the shawarma we are used to
