I am going to be upfront with you, this place melts my heart, makes me feel warm inside, had me fall in love. Had to leave because it felt THAT good. I actually think about this cozy eatery, thought about it about all the way back to NY.
I suppose you want to hear about the food? Fine, I will tell you first....I am Lebanese through and through AND from Beirut so when you come to my house half of Omnivore's menu is served by Mama herself. It'll make your soul sing BUT this Montreal Middle Eastern joint will make you get up and preach, speak in tongues. This is it folks, it's all the things food SHOULD be. Authentic, rich & balanced on the palette, Kefta spooning with a pickle, snug tight with a fresh-made pita and the slightest bit of garlic aroma fills your nose and takes you to that hot Beiruti night on an apartment balcony. Laffa in hand and a smile on your face.
If you come to Montreal and you don't stop by you are truly a fool.
