Amazing! My family loves middle eastern cuisine and we came here on our short visit to Montreal. We've tried many of the middle eastern options in NYC and this is up there with the best of them. Also, it's not your average fare...as others have mentioned its a fusion of different cuisines and if you like ME food but are up for
a surprise, this is the place to be.
I've never had squash at a middle eastern rest and this squash was unbelievable...from the Sunna appetizer to the roasted squash served with mains. Another must try app is babaganoush. It's not your traditional baba...it's sweeter and so delicious w the naan bread. We also had kibbeh, hudja and a walnut cheese spread...all of which were good, not amazing.
The entrees were all phenomenal. The sultan lamb dish was so flavorful and complex as were both chicken dishes. And a delicious zucchini caviar w a chicken dish is a must try. We ended the meal w great tea and desserts that were just ok, but we don't really like ME desserts. Oh and I also loved the light but deep lentil soup, great to start.
And all these raves don't even mention the wonderful waitress who even wrote down a bakery Rec for us when we asked at the end of our meal.
I wish I was coming back to Montreal sooner so that I could go back to rumi!
