Ma famille & moi avions hâte que Zyara ouvre au marché central. L'emplacement est super, facile à stationner, une salle à manger & un décor chaleureux, la terrasse est superbe. Notre serveuse Christelle s'est très bien occupé de nous, c'est dommage que son sourire soit caché par un masque, Covid 19 oblige. Les plats sont délicieux & bien présentés; Kebbé nayyé, Arayess Soujouk avec fromage Haloumi & le pain pita chaud qui sort du four. Le seul problème, j'ai trop mangé!!!
Super restaurant, je recommande absolument ! Nous avons fêté les 30 ans d'une amie. Restaurant super accommodant pour la fête. Excellente nourriture, tous le monde est parti avec des restant tellement nous en avions. Petit pita chaud illimité servit assez fréquemment qui sont trop délicieux. L'équipe était très gentille. Giovanni notre serveur était A+ ! Merci encore & à la prochaine!
We went slightly after usual lunch time & the place was not too busy. Staff were all extremely friendly & helpful about answering questions & took the trouble to double-check on an allergy issue. The food was served quickly & was all excellent. The pita was served fresh to the table & clearly made either in house or very locally & came with a dish of fresh Zatar in oil. The fattoush salad was fresh, tasty & came in a generous portion. The lentil soup was also excellent (It is a pureed soup, fyi). We also had the Makanek sausages (If you like lemon, they are great), the chicken shish taouk, & chicken schwarma. Everything was fresh, well seasoned & well cooked & portion sizes are ample. They nailed the cook on the side potatoes (Batata Harra). Nothing was over-spiced, but everything was flavorful. I would definitely go back for a special occasion.
The breakfast prix fixe is bonkers delicious! It my favourite kind of meal - lots of little things, every bite bursting with flavour, the various dishes complementing each other perfectly. From the spicy za'atar pita to the creamy, silky smooth labneh to the unctuous & umami sausage chopped in fluffy omelette, this breakfast feast is to die for. But wait. It comes with dessert. Breakfast dessert. I almost cried when I took my first bite. It was a mini-pancake filled with some kind of sweet cheese, smothered in rose & orange water honey & plastered in crunchy pistachios. Not too sweet. It is what bliss tastes like. It's the taste of coming home, or falling in love, of getting your wish. It's a dessert for the ages. So yes. I think you should come here.
The atmosphere is very modern & homely but it can get very noisy if there are parties going on especially when the music is loud.
I had the vegetarian tasting menu which comes with 6 mezzaz warm dishes & 6 cold mezzaz dishes. They accommodated my dairy intolerance.
Overall I liked the cold dishes (hummus, muhammara, fatouch, tabouleh & stuffed vine leaves); for the most part everything fresh, filling & wholesome. The stuffed vineleaves were underwhelming & weren't as flavorful.
The warm mezzaz were alright. We got sautéed cauliflower, vegé kebbeh, falafel, potatoes, & a spiced rice. The cauliflower was very flavorful & was the clear winner while the other items were okay. The spiced rice was not good. We ended of with baklava which was good, a little bit of extra syrup would have helped.
Overall my experience was decent. Some of the vegé dishes could use some help. On the hand, the service was great; I liked that there's always someone bringing by fresh pita or filling your water.

Très belle déco
Le service est super
& wow la bouffe est très bien
& les pains pita sont faits maison
Mes le meilleurs sont les entrées froides selon moi
This place crosses out ALL that's essential in a restaurant. Great food (alot of it for what you pay), ambiance, & service!
We were a big group so we had to have the group menu. It did not disappoint! Not only did we get to try a lot of the things in the menu but we were so full by the end of it, we had leftovers to bring home. The warm, fresh pita at the start of the first course was just amazing! The place was also instagrammable ; it had an Arabin nights feel to it. & last but not least, we had the nicest servers & waitresses! They were attentive & quick to act. I highly recommend this place to get your lebanese food fix or just to have a date with loved ones. Will go back again for sure!
Great service & delicious food. Everything I tried was well seasoned & very tasty. They offer unlimited hot pita bread which I loved. The atmosphere was bright & welcoming. Definitely a restaurant I will recommend to my friends & family.
Gorgeous new restaurant in Montreal. The mezze & the mains were both very fresh & full of flavour; kibbeh nayeh, beets & labneh, seared halloum, beef shawarma are all must-try's. The fresh pita is also to die for! Overall, good service + good food + good vibes. Highly recommend.
