But baba ganoush was the highlight, the light springy eggplant base is highlight by a drizzle of olive oil and contrasted by the pomegranate seeds. For the entrées, the lamb shank is a must, it's succulent, flavorful, and fall off the bone!! The host were sweet attentive and speak both French and English. The environment, lively, and cozy!!

Absolutely wonderful food, completely worth the hype. Low key dining ambiance but high quality…read morefood. I would recommend this for groups of four or more so you can try many things -- they're fairly accommodating with tailoring dishes ala carte vs one person entrees and absolutely everything I ate here was delicious. Flavorful and spicy (not necessarily hot) in the best ways, nothing tasted showy or try-hard. The stand outs were the vegan platter (just everything was delicious, and I'm not vegan) and the Chicken Taouck (marinated in a garlic and pomegranate molasses sauce that was just brilliant). The lamb and shrimp skewers were also stand out but a little more basic (not a problem for me, I loved both). I wish I could have tried even more but we were stuffed and satisfied as is. My one complaint, and this could be a bonus for others, was they are fairly pushy on trying to sell you on letting them curate a tasting menu for you. When I asked the waitress if she had any favorite dishes she wouldn't even humor me -- do the fixed menu and you'll find out. Sorry, but that's just not my style! I could see how that might work if you've never had this kinda food and this all feels super foreign, but (and I don't pretend to be an expert in Syrian or Armenian cuisine by any means) it felt a little overtly up-selly to me. In the end we chose our own way and had a delicious meal anyhow. Would absolutely come back next time I'm in town.

The Short Version: Popular shawarma place on Sainte…read moreCatherine Street. The beef shawarma was pretty good. The Long Version: My husband and I were chilling in our hotel when my husband had a hankering for some shawarma. He didn't want to go too far, and I encouraged him to try a new-to-us place, lol. So a quick search led him to Shawarmaz. Shawarmaz is a Canadian company that started 2013 in Montreal. It has several locations but they are all in the Greater Montreal Area. My husband got the beef shawarma in a pita $9.79. They have the option of getting your shawarma in Saj bread or a baguette and those options are more expensive. He got lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turnips and onions. For his sauces he got hummus, spicy garlic and chipotle. He enjoyed the shawarma. I had a bite so I could review it (I also went with him so I could see the restaurant and take pictures) haha. I thought it was pretty good. They give you a decent amount of protein. And the beef was flavourful and not gristly. I was surprised that the wrap was not too spicy considering the sauces he chose. The decor is fast food restaurant-like. Service was good but it did take a while for the food, although it's likely because there was a pretty long line up. Review #205 (2025)

The place is very small that the tables are all so close to each other, you can clearly hear other ppls conservation, it's very loud and there's also alot of families with kids If you are looking to go somewhere quit to eat brunch this is not the place to go. When you seat down they give you tea, the tea wasn't to my liking at all. They don't offer glasses of water so we got bottle of water? They also give you complimentary plate of olives, turnip, cucumber and tomatoes. We ordered the spicy cheese and zahtaar sage, that was very good, I think it was my favorite. It was very big and came on a board. We also got the professor lebneh, the tahini foul and the meat egg, they were okay nothing especially, the tahini foul was lemony, I felt like there was just too much lemon in there. Will I go back I don't know, this is not a place you would go every week, it's a once a few months vibes

The presentation of everything was beautiful too. They had a DJ there who was FANTASTIC the vibe was so fun, a little jazzy but upbeat and mixed so nicely.
