Sumac - Montréal

Good service, nice team, very tasty food and good music!You order at the counter, a member of the team makes the delivery for you.

Foodies here that love all kinds of food are not picky we were most Definitely very disappointed! This is no where close to traditional Lebanese food. The restaurant seems very clean but the food was just not it the service was not great the staff very impersonal. Food is not worth 22$ a plate..not all items tasted fresh. The chicken is most definitely not the shawarma style, very plain not well seasoned, cold just not good. We almost ate everything because we were so hungry but definitely did not enjoy it. The salads were ok, the garlic dip was ok, salade cuite literally just like canned tomatoes, nothing great. We were definitely expecting it to be so much better. No one bothered asking if everything was okay, it was an in out. You can feel that the staff doesn’t really care. Anyways, unfortunately do not recommend if you want REAL shish taouk, shawarma, lebanese food.

The food is great and the service is wonderful despite being busy most of the time. The waitresses are very friendly and nice. We ordered a sabitch and kofta. I had no idea about Sabitch. A waiter explained patiently and with details about the plate and I went for it and I found it very tasty. The kafta had a great and tempting smell however it was smaller than expected. All in all, it is a fascinating and cozy place to hang out with your friends in the afternoon. The only downside is the restaurant is closed on weekends.

My experience there was worth it.The restaurant is spacious with nice and modern decorations.The menu is rich and authentic.I ordered Shawarma plate. It comes with two fresh pitas sprinkled with Za’atar, delicious hummus, and two salads of your choice. I chose beetroot and yogurt with dill za’atar. The combination was rich of different flavours.The portion is not that big but it is satisfied for one person and the prices are generally reasonable (almost 26$)I did not try any drinks or sweets but I heard that they are so good too.The guy at the cashier was welcoming and attentive.They have two washrooms and they were clean and well refilled.I recommend giving it a try

To start with the good things rather than being negative all the way,Baba ghanouj and fries were pretty good and delicious.Shawarma chicken: Weird and cold chicken, pretty sure with lots of curcuma, it is more indian cuisine chicken than what they called shawarma, and it looked grilled on a grill instead or the right ahawarma waybeside all the scratches and dirt on their front windowA bit pricey concidering their plates are just the meat and you have to buy everything separately including breadGoing to men's washroom, instead of a soap dispencer they had a squeeze bottle which is another weird thing.Overall it was a negative visit
