This is one of my favorites in Montreal. The cuisine is delicious. They have middle eastern food but with a twist of their own. Lots of pomegranates. Flavors are exotic and the spicing and sauces are delicious. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting. I've been there a few times.
I knock off a star for what is consistently sub-standard service. Twice I have been promised a certain table, only to arrive with my guests and be downgraded to a table in the back. Their attitude is "the girl who answered the phone didn't know what she was doing". Get real! And after the disappointment, you think there'd be a drink on the house or something to sweeten the disappointment. No, just business as usual. So don't expect the staff to be particularly warm.
