The service was fast, I had barely said what I wanted and it was already on my hand. I ordered a cold brew and ... it was not that good, it was very diluted and watery.

Tried this restaurant based on friends' recommendations and saw that it was highly rated on Yelp…read more Good pita bread. Why they put it in plastic bags on the table is a mystery and not especially classy. Very little explanation that everything is served family style. If I wanted family style dining, I would have stayed home and cooked. We had a pricey vegetarian appetizer plate where most of the foods tasted too vinegary or garlicky. The eggplant salad tasted more of onion than eggplant. The fish was pretty good but by the time it finally came, I wasn't hungry anymore. The rice had no flavour and the fries, although nicely crisp also were tasteless. The taste I had of my partner's chocolate cake was good but cold in the middle as if it wasn't fully defrosted. The service was friendly yet not attentive. We had to ask for soda twice before it came. The constant reel of what I think was Lebanese music videos projected on the wall were a visually loud distraction from the overall lack of ambiance. The happy birthday music they play was fun, but we're not coming back.

My boyfriend always has to try new Shisha places when we go to new cities and I'm so happy he found…read moreCafe Toot. The place is a little run down but everything is very clean. The sweetest old lady runs the place by herself & she makes a great Shisha. We came for the 2 nights we were in Montreal and ordered blueberry mint with a little peach. She doesn't start the Shisha herself so you do have to start it. The Shisha is smooth with great smoke. You do have to use 2 coals as it's a larger head but she gives you extra coals when she delivers it to you. Give this place a try if you're looking for somewhere to relax, study, or spend time with friends!

Tables and couches mostly utilized by students studying and conversing in English, French and Arabic. The husband and wife duo can speak all 3 languages and are very attentive. Quick-light coals are the default but you can pay to upgrade to square coil-heated coals.

Note: no booze but you can bring your own food or buy the snacks they have on hand.

I'm super excited that Falafel Yoni has opened a location in the sud-ouest as I've been a huge fan…read moreof their original location on Saint Viateur for a while now. The menus at the two locations are the same and they stick to the basics that Yoni knows best. Their falafel is awesome so light, crispy and flavourful. Definitely the best that I've had in town. For a nice change of pace give the Sabich a try. Packed with egg plant and an egg I'm sure you'll love it. All their pitas are very generous and big enough to share. Although, sharing is only recommended with a good friend as it can get a bit messy. Let me tell you there's no need to ask for extra sauce at Falafel Yoni. But you're going to love every drop of sauce that you get as their sauces are extremely flavourful. An additional bonus at the Wellington location is that the city is closing off the street to traffic so it looks like there will be a large amount of outdoor seating all summer long. Falafel Yoni is an awesome addition to great selection of restaurants in Wellington

I ordered the Fish Plate via Uber Eats, and so there was no choice as to which type of fish I would…read moreget (and I didn't mind!). The pricing was a bit steep, but then Rayan is the only place I know that grills fish like this, coated with bran, a traditional Egyptian way. The food came fairly quickly, and was hot and fresh. The fish came with a large portion of rice and vegetables, as well as chopped onions. The rice was of the "minute rice" type, which is not my favorite, but it was seasoned and a good side to have. The vegetables were doused in garlic and melted butter/margarine, and better than I expected for something reminiscent of frozen vegetable mix that's steamed/sauteed. The fish was very well seasoned, perhaps by marination, with lots of parlsey and fresh lemon. The wheat bran gave a subtle flavour to the fish, which remained tender and juicy inside thanks to the coating. If you don't enjoy the texture of the bran, you can always brush it off. Good stuff! Looking forward to try more.

Our combos came with a complimentary beverage. Hubby got a Coke Zero & I got a Fanta Orange in a bottle. Hubby and I both ordered fries but they forgot mine. I was bummed out first but realized they didn't charge us extra for the combo and I wasn't walking back over in the pouring rain. The food was so good as seasoned extremely well. The fries were a total miss. Too thick and flavorless. I couldn't believe the portions we received. There was no way we were going to finish everything. In hindsight I'm happy they forgot my fries. The food was delicious. Hubby was able to make another meal out of his combo box. share

There are no tables at the restaurant but a small eating area with barstools. They use to have the "Poulet on the rocks" for C$8.99 which was a steal but now they have a different special each day for C$12.49 including the Beef Ozbox (which I get with Fattouch salad and rocks/rice or the Ozmow's Special. Beware, choose your spice level carefully. Is the taste of the food the best? No .. but does its job if you just want to eat a big cheapish meal with a variety of options.
