“I called the restaurent on Wednesday for a reservation of 10 for saturday night. The manager with who I spoke was amazing and super helpful. Once we got there on Saturday night we had the pleasure to have Pamela as our waitress she is 11/10 amazing amazing service. She was kind, helpful and had a smile all night long while serving us. It was for my wife’s birthday and everything was just perfect. Thank you!!?“
“I just love being here. There is always something cooking, always shows, and live music happening.This is a community / artsy place where everyone is welcomed, and everyone will feel like they belong in one way or another.Very recommended ❤️❤️❤️“
“I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of authentic Yemeni spices transported me to another world. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family.I had the Mazbi lamb & Mandi lamb, both were incredibly tender and packed with mouthwatering flavor that left me craving more with every bite. The portions were generous, ensuring no one leaves hungry.But what really stood out was the hospitality. The staff treated us like family, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to recommend their favorites.Overall, this Yemeni restaurant exceeded all my expectations. If you're craving authentic Middle Yemeni cuisine served with warmth and hospitality, look no further. I can't wait to return and try more dishes from their delicious menu!“
“Cozy atmosphere, super tasty meals, good service, and friendly staffs. Went here several times and every time I enjoy the food! Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: MuhammaraFattoucheDandelionParking: After 6:30pm you can find paid parking in front of the restaurant“
“Looks like a chain restaurant, but the quality of food is amazing! Some of the best Lebanese food I’ve had, everything was super tasty. Everything from the hummus, to the salad that was well seasoned.The chicken and beef skewers were hot and juicy!Also very good service and reasonably priced.“
“One of the best Arab Mediterranean (Lebanese?) places I've ever dined at, period! The salads were all fantastic. I particularly loved the falafel and the sabich platters. The Muhammara was up there with the best-rich and nutty!Quantities are generous. Generally par for the cost.. highly recommend!“
“I found this place while walking around one night and thought I'd try it. It was so good, and the staff so friendly, every month when I come up to Montreal I book a hotel close by because of this place. The staff is incredibly friendly and they're very kind as I try to speak French. Fantastic food!!!Kid-friendliness: Very clean, restrooms, and tables for eating at.“
“Omnivore is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. They have delicious lebanese and middle eastern food that's a good price, and easy to share. The bowls are best shared between two people, and it's a perfect amount for two. The garlic potatoes are some of the best I've ever had. I will definitely be coming back again.The atmosphere of the restaurant is also beautiful with lots of plants, and cozy nooks.“
“Best french fries and popcorn chicken i’ve EVER eaten. Absolutely amazing, a crisp to die for in both the fries and the chicken batter. Batter was made on the spot and everything was fried right then and there. Place was a little empty and cold but just take the food to go, you absolutely won’t regret it. A reason alone to go all the way to St-Laurent. Definitely will be going back“
“Food: It's fine, I like Arab food. Good portions for price.Service: It's ok, nothing specialAtmosphere: When they don't play music or the TV loud, I can enjoy my meal.Food images :• Shawarma chicken and beef mix, best thing of all, comes with a pita• Falafel + forgot the name of the other one, they taste ok• Shawarma poutine, they use their regular potatoes (Go to Osmow's instead for a shawarma poutine)“
“Petit comptoire sans prétention qui sert des falafels incrablement frais et bons. Il sont dorée et croustillant et tendre et bien vert a l'intérieur. Sûrement parmis les meilleur en ville. Si on les prends en pita in adoreras le choix de garnitures d'une tres grandes qualité. Les Snitzhel sont offert aussi. L'équipe est un peu désorganiser on se demande parfois qui fait quoi mais si non une fois le repas en mains wow!“
“Boustan's Crescent catered for our group of 50 people with excellent service every step of the way. They accomodated vegan and gluten free diners with delicious food! The Shiitake mushrooms were cooked so well some of the group couldn't believe they were mushrooms and not chicken. Garlic potatoes of course are a fan favourite, I will be stopping by for my personal lunches as well!“
“I was working on a project with my friends and we ended up getting hungry so we stoped by here, the line was a little long but gives you enough time to check the menu and decide what you want, the service was great and the atmosphere was nice“
“Amazing hidden gem in Montreal that deserves all its flowers. The owners are very loving. Feels more like home than a restaurant ❤️ The prices reflect this and if you’re looking to dine out and eat healthy all while saving money (especially considering the cost of living right now) this is the spot to try. Everything is amazingly fresh! And portions are huge!! Spent 30 and will have food for supper and a breakfast tomorrow. Pictures speak for themselves (this bowl of soup was only 6$ and amazingly fresh and tasty!)“
“This is probably the best Syrian Mediterranean food in the city. We started with the vegan platter. A little pricey for what you get. The Mouhara is the best part and the vine leaves. We had the small kebbe nayyeh which was quite good and fresh. We then had lamb and the filet mignon in the red sauce and some shish taouk chicken. The filet and the lamb were the real winners. The portions are definitely on the small side. We skipped dessert as we're not fans of the choices. Service was friendly. For authentic Syrian in a quiet atmosphere its very nice“
“Great atmosphere (does it very well but it is not a WOW reaction so 4 star instead of 5)vbut the food is deliciously made and the tapas are decently priced for what you get.You can easily decern the multiple layers of flavours in each of the dishes and the sauces are not overwhelming.“
“I will be honest. The place is a bit filthy. They heat the potatoes in the microwave. And some side dishes like vegetables can start to lack freshness at the end of the day. BUT! Don't be put off by these little flaws! This is the BEST SHISH TAOUK SANDWICH IN MONTREAL!!! The chicken: EXCELLENT! Best garlic sauce I've tasted (and I've tasted a lot)! Best garlic potatoes too! And the BEST SHARWAMA TOO!!1!!1! In the end, it's subjective, but I assure you that once I discovered this restaurant, I abused it... and without regret! Every time I eat my shish taouk, it's a taste orgasm. NO JOKE! Monsieur Shish Taouk is a hidden gem in our city. Long live shish taouk and this restaurant!Update 7 years later:Still so delicious. I have been there at least 25 times in the last 7 years. I let myself be tempted by the falafels which are not my first choice usually. But oh my! I was not deceived! It was once again delicious. And the owner is always so friendly and loyal to the job! The prices are very reasonable too! Note that the place has had a little facelift that makes it even more cozy. Go for it!“
“The tasting menu was incredibly good! Delicious, generous portions, affordable. Ève and the whole team received us very well and responded to our needs. The only downside would be that the place is small and, therefore, difficult to access for fat people (chairs with armrests, little space between tables to move around).Vegetarian options: Lots of interesting options“
“Was waiting for this place to open for some time. We enjoyed the food. Glad to see that they have daily promotions. Worth the try. We took the Thursday special. Delicious. New staff so be patient with them. If it is your first time as well. Ask questions and try to retain it to facilitate your ordering next time.“
“Coq-LaLa's grilled chicken boasts a succulent flavor with a perfectly charred exterior. The restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients shines through, creating a delightful dining experience. The seasoning is well-balanced, enhancing the natural taste of the chicken. The ambiance adds to the overall enjoyment, making Coq-lala a top choice for grilled chicken enthusiasts.“
“This place has been our frequent for the last 20 years, since I was a student. Now, I come here with my husband and kids, and they love it every time! Always delicious and healthy food which is thoroughly prepared and nicely served. Polite and attentive staff. Thank you, Al Amine!“
“Whoever is giving this place one star review is just trying to gatekeep it. The food tastes EXTREMELY fresh and affordable for college students, any salad lover would agree that their salad is amazing. Their service is also good, and unfortunately most of the time there isn’t a lot of people there but definitely saves time for the ones that just wanna get their lunch fast and leave ! I got the chicken plate which was as usual fresh and really good ?“
“Thank you very much for this beautiful night!! The quality of the food was perfect! The atmosphere was very lively and friendly. My Canadian husband fell in love with the restaurant! The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend it.Thank you very much Farah Jan ?“
“Food was decent, generous portion of rice, the meat dishes were good but nothing more to it. The meal came with a side of either salad or soup.I recommend the soup as it was surprisingly delicious.We had lamb kebab and lamb shank.The price was reasonable.The service was just ok.“
“The Food is soooo Authentic and Delicious that my son who is extremely picky loves it. The Obsession with all of the sides that just make the Mains shine is truly a work of art. Thank you to the wonderful family who have fed us from their hearts.“

“We ordered several platters in advance for a staff meal and it was excellent!! The service was impeccable, the plates packed full and delicious. Everything was ready on time and boxed up so we could easily take it all to go. I would highly recommend them for group meals as well as a fast delicious meal.“
“Philippe made a great expérience to me and my family. Such an amazing and great service ! Welcoming and generosity unprecedented. Great food presentation and taste.I have been to other Amir location but this location is beyond great ! I will drive 40 mins from home just to eat again here.Bravo Philippe El Koury!!!“
“Excellent ambiance, music, service and food, went twice within one month and wouldn’t hesitate to come back often and invite more friends to visit and enjoy, thanks for everyone who works there, especially the two talented drummers.@ beatkomanders.“
“Just like home-cooked meal! We ordered daal makhni, aloo gobi, and palak paneer through Uber Eats. The taste was delicious - reminded me of home-made sabzis and the spices/flavors were just right. The quantity size was also very decent. Definitely would order from here again.“
“We were 2 couples. We all loved our dishes: lamb tagine, royal couscous, couscous paella and Mediterranean grill. We had a really nice evening. The music was not too loud which allowed us to chat with friends. We stayed there for almost 4 hours.“
