Sumac recueille de nombreux éloges pour une cuisine moyen-orientale savoureuse, des portions généreuses et un service chaleureux et efficace. Les critiques évoquent le falafel et le muhammara comme des points forts, le pita maison frais et les salades créatives et satisfaisantes. L'ambiance est décrite comme décontractée et accueillante, avec un service rapide et un bon rapport qualité-prix, même si certaines notes mentionnent des portions variables et des tarifs quelque peu élevés. Dans l'ensemble, les clients disent qu'ils reviendraient et recommandent Sumac aussi bien pour des repas sur place que pour emporter.
The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was kind & accommodating. It's a casual spot - order at the counter, the menu is posted on the wall, but meals are served to your table. We ordered the family platter of chicken & some salads with extra bread & were stuffed. Delicious, creative salads. Will be back!
Sadly I was disappointed , My review is taste related & menue option oriented.
1- Falafel is to be served with tahini sauce not humus... As Falafel is made of humus...(Dip your humus in humus?) & Falafel is so cheap to make 0.10$ a ball ...that it should come with Tahini sauce even if it's pricier, when we enquired about it, the only option offered was to pay 5$ for a spoon of Tahini on top of a 25$ for a portion of Falafel.
2-You will most definitely need an extra pita bread & you will be charged... So it truly feels like a set up with missing engrients that you will need to'pay as you go' for a complete experience...
3- We also ordered the chicken & i could not finish the chicken ( & I never leave any leftovers ) so much it was oily or greecy chewy ...it Really did not feel like chicken breast more like greecy parts of the chicken, or maybe when they cut chicken so small & then fry cook it & marinate it ... It just tastes like over fried oil & burnt peppers...something was off anys...was it chicken breast? I doubt...
4- the veggies were dull felt like a fast food dull veggies... I do recall having a great experience with the betrave at this place but seems a reduced cost quality ...was tasteless
5-The service was adequate, the place was empty when we were there, nothing to complain about service wise but the limitations mentioned
... Sadly the combination behind not eating great food & over paying did not make of my review a positive one.

Ordered take out. Had the garlic labneh which was the best labneh I've ever had, the hummus, eggplant, chicken, & turnips. Everything was of high quality & delicious! So worth it.
Great food & ambience. I got the chicken shawarma plate & was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the dish, especially the in-house pita. The staff are super kind & welcoming. It would be perfect if the store accepts Amex

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

Incredible Shawarma Pita. Everything checks out the boxes. Tender chicken/ puffy & soft pita bread & perfect balance of sauces/ vegetables. Paired with Harira Fries & you're more than full. On the pricier side but it's definitely better than any other place.
This is not my first visit & every time I go I just love it.
The food is excellent & the staff always willing to help.
The pita bread is the real thing & unlike anything else I've had before.
The Sumac French Fries are excellent as well.
Baba Ganoush is very good as well as the chicken & the salads.
This is a few steps above the typical Lebanese restaurant we have in Montreal.
Tried it once, no need to go back. I only wanted to try the Falafel, that was recommended in a Gazette article. It was very tasty, as was the Baba & Hummus & pita. The fried eggplant 'salad' left much to desire. The chicken tasted like Chinese 5-spice chicken, & was almost disturbingly moist/soft (like at a Chinese buffet).
The service was quick & friendly although the ordering setup with the one cash register needs to be changed. What is stopping them from having their numerous servers taking orders from clients sitting down, at the tables? (considering this is how you order more food or drinks, if you wish).
My suggestion: get a takeout order of the hummus & baba & pita & pick up some chicken from Adonis to make at home.
