After wandering for places open later when I arrived (not many are in Montreal apparently), this was the best option for not too crowded and inviting. I felt like i was back in Zanzibar with all the Arabic decorations, and the tables are big gold platters. Good thing my friend spoke French to help me order, there were a lot of meaty and veggie options, very filling for a decent price. I had the lamb and prunes which was a sweet combo, plenty of bread to wipe it up with. The cocktail selections were rather generic and they didn't have the more exotic options, orange juice with vodka was what I ended up with. There was a big birthday party and a lot of singing which made it a fun atmosphere in the background. Slow and relaxing pace.
