Now let me start off by saying my family and I are very open to different foods. But I can honestly say we are all in agreement in that this was the WORST food we had ever had!!! I cannot remember having a meal as bad at this from the food to service.
We came to find ourselves at this restaurant during a trip to Montreal. After a long day of biking and sightseeing we were looking forward to a nice ethnic dinner and after seeing the reviews we assumed this would be the place. We were sorely mistaken. First the service was horrible we waited ten minutes for water. Water that was room temperature, no ice at all. Then we had to wait another ten minutes for our order to be taken an order that was completely wrong. The owner did say his waitress was on vacation but quite honestly it was his waitress, cook and his manners and hospitality. The first thing we ordered Baba Ghanouj came out as the salad mix an error he made from not writing it down. This salad mix was horrible the vegetables were so vinegary they were inedible and spit out immediately. The baba ghanouj and tahini that came with it were equally as bad. The pita that came with it was straight from a bag not even heated. And it tasted like paper. At this point we should have left.
Then the entrees appeared and not at once. First the koshary. The chickpeas were undercooked and hard and overall flavors were not there at all I barely ate 5 bites. Our other entrees include Molokhya which was dry and tasted like it was cooked in a microwave. And two orders of fetat Shawarma which there is nothing to say about but that it was awful.
When he came back to clear our plates and saw our food was hardly touched. We told him we did not like it. Yet unlike at any other restraurant with courteous service he did not offer to comp us or ask if we want something else but instead made us pay the way overpriced total for the horrible food. Now I'm not the type to ask for free things but I honestly feel cheated. This was the worse food of my life.
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE ANYWHERE ELSE. I signed up for Yelp just to post this review. I feel that passionately about this place. If it was possible to give 0 stars I would
