Amazing ambience, staff, food and service! Parking: Plenty of free parking Food : 5/5 |

The staff is very polite and well trained, food is excellent and the serving portions are really good.

Always I hear this place Michel food & Shisha I want today real was awesome chic classy fabulous gorgeous cute lovely people high end place .

A+ for having a clean place. The Shisha smokes well. The food is very good but the service not much, sometimes you get (rude or just a server who doesn t make you feel comfortable).

I can start by saying that the food is good. Its not GREAT but its good. The service however .. absolutely to the minimum. Water gets refilled every 2 decades, waiter takes to long to take orders, etc. as for the BIGGEST red flag that would that the restaurant FORCES customers of 6 or more to pay tips. As in it s imbedded in the receipt and not leaving the restaurant till you pay. Clients get told they cant leave without paying that minimum 15%. And the audacity that they write it down on the menu. I do NOT think that this is legally allowed by established to enforce tipping as mandatory. Where in quebec law is this stated??? What if the service was horrible?? Ridiculous. Thnx for listening

Great and fast service and amazing team, especially Danny, who took care of our table, and he made sure that we were fully satisfied. Thank you, and keep the great work.

Great service and the food is very tasty

Had a very good experience here. Dany made sure everything was perfect. Will come back again!

BEST SERVICE BY NAREG! Thank you!!!

Had the best time celebrating my friends birthday. Great waiters especially Nareg.

The restaurant is good but its doesnt have a place without smoking. The waiter tried to find better place but he couldnt

, this is the first time Ive seen a restaurant tell its customers that they have to tip. In general, most of us give tips without hesitation, taking into account the workers. However, the shiaha was very expensive. The bill for two shisha was $98. I didnt check, but I gave them $100. They told me that u have to tip us... This is disgusting. I dont recommend going there.

Very bad experience, to be absolutely avoided We had an extremely disappointing experience this evening. As soon as we arrived, no one came to see us once at the table to give us the menus for more than 15 minutes. We had to wait again before someone came to take our order. The service was not only slow, but also unpleasant. The waiter seemed really unprofessional: he literally threw the plates at us without any attention, and without even a word. Its hard not to think that the mistreatment we received was racially motivated, as we were treated clearly differently from the other patrons present that evening. This is unacceptable and very shocking. The quality of the food was also disappointing, but thats nothing compared to the attitude of the staff. We absolutely will not return and we strongly advise against this restaurant

A great place to go out with friends or family and especially for shsiha lovers. The food is very good and the service is impeccable. A big thank you to Dany and her professionalism. Thanks to the Amaraya restaurant team for welcoming us. It s my favorite place.

Dany provided an exceptional dining experience! From the moment we sat down, they were attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. They made great menu recommendations and ensured our needs were met throughout the meal. Their upbeat attitude and attention to detail truly elevated our evening. We ll definitely be back and hope to see Dany again

Dany was amazing! Super friendly , attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service all around -thank you!

very disappointed with their customer service .. we asked for the bill 7 times and it took them 30 minutes to bring it.. after all, I think tipping is optional so I skipped the tips after that poor service.. and he ended up screaming at me! for not tipping him he s like how come you don t give a tip?? Very disrespectful and poor service.

I would give a zero star if i had this option in the review. Unprofessional service, we came as a walk-in (without reservation) the manager just decided to not find us a table (with the excuse all table are reserved). Once out, we called them to book a table and they told us they have tables available.

Unprofessional service staff Judgment by appearances

A very bad experience at Amaraya, the room was empty but the waiter stopped us at the entrance asking us if we had made a reservation. The answer was no, then they asked us to wait to see the availability of tables, and in 2 seconds he told us that there was no availability, a strange thing that led us astray. Once outside we made a call and asked if there was availability, to our great surprise the answer was YES, he even assured us that we could choose the Table once arrived on site. We didnt understand if the person was racist or had bad intentions, knowing that we were very respectful. I was really in shock

Very good service,thanks!!!

Excellent service and great food

Just came back from a wonderful evening with amazing friends and we chose to be at Amarya. We all had the Philadelphia sandwich platter and loved it. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is very nice and accentuated with lovely music. I highly recommend this place and will certainly go back often. Kudos to Georgina; excellent service.

We came a few times the food the atmosphere and We loved the service especially georgina she was supper great in her work she make us love the restaurant more

Overpriced. Per person you ll come out paying 80-100$ all in. Can of coke is $5. Nuff said. Food

Bad experince

We went for desserts. They were good. Otherwise, there was a nice family atmosphere

Nice place and nice service

Expensive shisha with OK foods!

I love the place and the food so yummy I recommend

Overrated prices but loved the atmosphere. Good shishas.

Thank you mimo for the service today it was perfect thank you so much the best waitress

We were disappointed with the food when we ordered the chicken plate. The chicken was so dry, hard to cut with the knife and hard to eat. We had kids with us, when we first came in (it was our first visit) there was no one in the main section. We didnt know they serve Shisha and smoking should always be served in closed/restricted areas. So if youre not a smoker, if you have kids, if youre pregnant or have some respiratory health issues, this is not for you. The restaurant itself looks nice and clean. I wish we did more research and asked if they serve shisha and I wish the young waiter would have mentioned it to us when he saw us with kids.

It was very disappointing going in there to find out menu items were not available (Pizza,desserts).Our guest basically finished the Shisha we ordered and we went elsewhere!

I dont know why the shisha tastes different, bad experience, the charcoal makes it weird

Nice place to chill but prices a little too much for smiliar places around Montreal. The negative thing about it they force you to tip even if you dont want to

Place is nice and food is good, kinda expensive However its not comfortable how much they pressure you to tip, you have to tip good amount or the waiter will come again to request it

Excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommended

Very nice place great food and friendly staff, i recommend this place

Nice atmosphère , best cordon bleu in town worth the try !

I would like to thank the team for making my friend s birthday very special and memorable. The service was great, food and SHISHA as well as expected. As first time customer I truly appreciated you guys, you did everything in order to take care of your customers, surely we will be coming back next time.

Super nice and clean inside, service was great , food was so yummy ! Thank you !

Food is very good and in big portions. The girl who served us was super friendly, helpful and cute. The atmosphere is very nice but needed more music. Clients seem very classy. My only concern is that if you reserve a table, you need to leave in three hours, which is kind of weird for a restaurant and a shisha lounge. People come to eat, chill and have a good time. Thats why I gave it 4 stars.

Wors place to go not again . Soft drink $4.75 also bottle of water $8

Food excellent, large choice for cocktails, and for hookah lover good place to hangout

Very bad

The food is good, but the service is not up to par at all.

It is the worst experience I have ever had the food is the worst the service is horrible they don t even give us forks and knife don t come here please.

The service is very bad

It is one of the worst restaurants i have ever been in the food and the service is terrible the service is awful they don t even give us the forks and knife the server is really disrespectful the bathroom is disgusting it just looks cool from inside and that site.

Literally every thing is horrible

The service is very bad, the food is bad, and the bathrooms are very dirty

The place is wonderful & Super delicious food

One of the best places in the city

We are always so warmly welcomed by Mimo, the waitress at Amaraya! Shes great! Thanks for the good service at all times :)

All amazing but Mimo she s so nice and active smiling all the time

Thank you mimo for your kind service, we missed you during your absence Youre the best

Service is the best with Mimo! She makes the experience at the place worth it! She is very attentive, and takes very good care of every detail on your table! Food : 5/5

Always the best service with Mimo. She makes sure we re having the best time.

Very nice

Marc was very attentive, he served us in a great courtesy along with all the other team

best restaurant

It s a very respectful place and great service

I come here regularly with friends, its a great place to eat and hang out, the ambience is nice, the foods good, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Shoutout to Mimo, shes the best! If youre a regular here, they learn what you like quickly and bring it to you without ever needing to order anything, you just show up and youre treated like family! Ive had the pleasure of meeting some of the owners too and theyre all just really nice people.

Great place to go eat ambiance is nice. Great service from Mimo,

A very good and comfortable place for shisha. Their food is also really good with a great service. A highly recommended place.

Excellent food and great service from Mimo.

Very good service, very good atmosphere

best food in the area, chicken a la kiev is recommended

Most unwelcoming staff

Beautiful restaurant, locations is good with lots of parking. Their customer service is also really good. I recommend to reserve beforehand

disrespectful and bad service !

I didnt like the service, bad place for non smokers, we parley could breath. Mandatory 15% surcharge in our invoices (we are six people) Food portions are small Never coming back

One of the best Restau Cafe in Montreal. Service and are excellent Parking: more than a 100 spots

best food ever

It is good place but the smell of shisha is very bad

I was shocked with the service that I get on Saturday night , yes I don t have a reservation but the way the manger welcome us is very bad and not professional saying we are not cafe if you gave a table ,you have to order from menu not just shisha and that is it!!!! . Seriously !! After we entered and we order even we were full , we ask for take the rest of food , the waitress just give us the plate to pick it up by ourself not bothering her self to bring a bag , how Should I get the food, shall I put it my personal bag!!! Never got this kind of service in all Montreal restaurants!!!!

I recommend this place. Food is fresh and delicious. We were all surprised about how good it was.

Awesome food and Hookah, Great atmosphere

Very pricey comparing to the very poor quality of food we got. Mostly frozen food they served us. The waitress will push hard you to order a lot of dishes. Don t recommend at all.

It was very bad experience going to there, they said when first entry you have to order food otherwise we are nor a caffe!! How shame is that we were going anyway to eat but not like this way

First and last time here!!!!!!! He asks you to change places for their friendly customers!!!!!

Rotten service!

Bad service and rude waitress. One of the worst restaurants! I have never seen such service!!!!! I dont really recommend it.

Dropped in for lunch, great service and food. Tho main menu is served after 4 so did not have the chance to try it. Overall a great spot for hang out!

Very nice restaurant, I go there regularly. Very nice atmosphere, super courteous employees and excellent variety of shisha. The restaurant is very well ventilated.

Good atmosphere and decor, but very high prices for fairly ordinary dishes

They have very delicious fajita sandwich, the most important was the shisha, which was perfect. Ambience was very good, even though everybody smoking, but the non-smoker never get annoyed from the smoke. Only the small issue was at the beginning, it took a while to take our order. I recomment to visit and dine in at this restaurant Parking: A-lot of parking spots available in front of the restaurant

A Lebanese restaurant with a modern menu, I liked its menu and its food options, the service was good, and the atmosphere is typical Lebanese for those who like shisha! The food was good with a good quantity and a taste that reminded me of Lebanon but the prices are a little expensive Overall I recommend especially for those who like shisha

Thank u to Mimo for the kindness, muhamed and the manager too. Definitely my new shisha spot Food

Nice place but a little bit pricey. I tried the waffles builders and Id give it an 8/10. The knefeh was not the best though. The overall experience was pleasant. They have a deck of cards which you can ask the waiter for if youre a group.

space between tables is good music is not loud food is delicious shisha is amazing Food : 5/5 |

The best Café ever ( food , drinks...) ! Special thx to NAREK ! the best service ! I think that the Owner is lucky to have Narek !

Average food and service Good sheesha

Good atmosphere overall. Was there last Saturday. Service was quick and accommodating throughout. Ordered the Cuba burger, tasty albeit a tad heavy, naturally. Would recommend if youre looking for a hookah spot in the MTL area.

I give 5 star for the service, the food and the atmosphere. Excellent place to enjoy a good meal and have chicha. Thank you Maher and staff. Excellent restaurant

I really like this place the food is great and the staff is lovely. Nareg is outstanding he s not only a great waiter but also a food artist! I recommend

This place is great! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. The food is absolutely amazing ! Highly recommend!

Very nice place...Good food... The behaviours of people who are woking there are really good. Thanks for these services!

Fast and courteous service. Acceptable price and menu choice. Well maintained Hookah. Noisy atmosphere but its OK. Comfortable chairs. Parking located right in front of the property.

Lolia was so helpful And everything was more than perfect

Not surprising that it is empty on a Saturday at 12 p.m., the prices are exaggeratedly expensive, 2 dishes 2 drinks tip (not too deserved but good) $95. Forget it to come back.

Great place to night entertainment Wonderful atmosphere Wonderful experience Food : 5/5

Best restaurant ever delicious food, desserts and best service

Really great Shisha place. Prices are through the roof for no reason, but otherwise great. Food : 4/5

The gentleman who served us deserves many thanks and is grateful for his nice appearance, lovely smile, and respectful hosting. Big thanks

POOR The menu is super expensive for nothing, especially a steak and fries plate for $33 even though they use fries and frozen vegetables from Costco and the meat had no flavor. There were ten of us and no one liked what he ordered. There was too much salt in the dishes, it was not properly dosed. The menu should reflect the mediocrity of the dishes and put them much cheaper on the menu. In addition, I call before to find out if it is halal, I am told that the chicken and the beef are, but not the rest, but when my friend came the last time, she was told that the ham was halal, its really fishy and it doesnt give me confidence. I wont go back there.
