We dined here when the restaurant was first opened and enjoyed it much better then. Because of the 2 seatings the restaurant is geared towards a different kind of service. The place does not feel intimate and special any longer. The food was very good. The service although food was very slow and hard to get someone’s attention. I am not sure I would dine at this restaurant again because of the lack of personalized service.

Nourriture excellente et service impeccable. Et le prix est en conséquence. Plutôt bruyant, ceux qui privilégient la tranquilité devront composer avec cet élément ou choisir une table dans la section bistro située à l' entrée du resto. Expérience culinaire savoureuse.

Le menu dégustation vaut vraiment la peine pour une première visite. J’ai mangé les meilleurs falafels de toute ma vie; la texture de l’hummus était incroyable; le mouamarrah était délicieux; le service de notre serveur Allan était super réconfortant- il a vraiment compris nos besoins. Tout le service (eau, nourriture, alcool) était aussi parfait. Repas mémorable!!!

Must go to. Pomegranate Cobbler has a very refreshing and middle eastern taste. And Sour Cherry Bourbon is just delicious. The food was incredible. We took 'MENU DE DÉGUSTATION' and it worth it. They started with the best 'Pastirma & oeufs de caille' but the rest is just as amazing. If you say that first serve was good because I was hungry, well, I was really full for dessert but 'Halawet El Jibn' was the most delicious dessert too.

Great service. Our group included a toddler and she was content with her humus and pita. The rest of us loved especially the lamb rack and the fatouche salad. But everything was great. A bit big and noisy for the price point.

Quality food does not require exorbitant pricing. The price points are consumer gouging. I honestly would only recommend it if it had fair price points. And I’ve been to 5 diamond restaurants and 4 star Michelin.
