First dining experience in Montreal and it did not disappoint. We came around the dinner opening time at 5:15pm and we were the first ones there. Over the course of our meal another 3 tables became occupied and with good reason... This food is amazing!
We ordered the Fattet Lahmen, Fatouche salad and Shish Taouk Chili. The Fattet Lahmen was very rich in flavours and gave a sensory experience like no other. There are bursting pomegranate seeds, crunchy pita, buttery cashews, flavourful lamb, and chickpeas all bathed in a savoury yogurt-tahini. This dish was very sensual but somehow made me feel light at the same time. The Fatouche was also very good, another great mix of flavours between sweet, minty and sour. Finally, the Shish Taouk Chili (chili being kind of self explanatory for the flavour) was grilled to perfection!
All in all a great experience, from the service to the food! The portions are appropriately sized if you can stop yourself from ordering more of this foody goodness and the price is fairly affordable as well.
