This is a review of lunch only- supper might be great. No atmosphere, no warm welcome, soup from a can, frozen or canned green beans, a leaf of iceberg as salad, yesterday's cubed potates, greasy rice with a piece of ground beef, 2 slivers of chicken and everything cold. Very disappointing. PS the hummus was good.

We were invited there by friends for dinner. We had table d’hotte. The appetizers were a plate of homus, babaghanoosh, tabouleh, vine roll and a small spinach samousa. Everything was fresh and tasty. Then we had a bowl of Salad, the dressing was very tasty. I had the shrimp and lamb skews served with rice and homus. It was very delicious. For dessert, we had Baclava and coffee. We liked everything we had.

The food wasn't cooked on the spot, instead it was microwaved and tasted old. It gave me stomach ache. The only meals that were okay were the entres. It's a shame because the place looks nice and cozy.

October 11, 2022

Microwaved everything: the vine rolls, the spinach puffs, the rice, the meats, the main courses... Nothing was fresh. The restaurant was empty which should have given us a big red flag. And the owner(?) microwaved everything in front of us. We were so dumbstruck, we tried to joke about it, but there's nothing funny about spending 💰 on leftovers

This is a popular lunch spot for many people working in the area. The two food options here are chicken shawarma and falafel. This cafeteria-style restaurant is inexpensive, quality is reliable and staff is friendly.

Shish Taouk plate at 11:45 a.m. Pita: 1/5 only 1/4 dry pita with a plate Chicken: 3/5 ok but a little dry Rice: 2/5 meh, yellow rice with chicken (bovril?) Potato: 1/5 dry, cold and absolutely no taste Hummus: 4/5 good taste and good quantity. Price: 2/5 $22 with soda. Expensive for what little you get. Atmosphere: 1/5 Few customers and we have the impression that the staff present dont feel like being there. Heartbreaking. There is potential but the execution is lacking. It was my first visit and quite possibly my only one. I still wish the owners good luck.

I had a $10 sandwich. Rather disappointing, there was too much sauce and I was not offered to heat it. The menu on the internet is really not up to date, the prices have increased considerably.

Pretty ordinary food. Dry skewers, rice and cold potatoes and very little generous quantity. When we arrived, the ladys toilet was not blocked, hand paper almost quickly, trash already full and it had just opened. Insufficient lighting at our table. We were disappointed.

Positive: shrimp skewers grilled to perfection, very friendly owner. Lebanese coffee is an interesting discovery (a type of cardamom espresso) As for the rest, nothing was bad or poorly executed, just ordinary. Suggestions: *You know, in Lebanon, baklavas are very different, smaller, denser, more pistachios with flavors that we hardly use here. Be THE restaurant that makes authentic Lebanese baklavas!!! Stop serving those big things stuffed with honey that we find in the grocery store today!! Put the real thing from real Lebanon on your plates, For example, why not make falafels with 1 different typically Lebanese flavor in each ball? In short, there is potential but in the meantime, a quarter of the menu looks like a Greek restaurant with hummus instead of tzadziki...

We went with 3 people and I can tell you that the microwave is on fire in this restaurant! Everything comes out of the microwave! I thought about the episode where Gordon Ramsay threw a restaurants microwave from the top of a building! The food was of poor quality. We didnt even eat and we had to pay the bill though.

Phew, so I have a stomach ache just after coming back from the restaurant. It looks poor and old. I dont mind the atmosphere, but paying $42 for that I preferred to go elsewhere (including the baladi which is 100 times better), ESPECIALLY paying for food reheated in the microwave (I saw the cook reheating my boyfriends dish ).The service was poor and the lady was insulted when I just wanted to check if the price was correct. In short, not a good investment.

Its not worth it, we paid too much (40 dollars) for two take-out meals, when we got home, we realized that the two boxes were almost empty, it was our first time and we will never go back . Beirut and Baladi are much better and cheaper.

Le restaurant offre un menu cafeteria le midi pour ceux qui veulent manger le meilleur shawarma a sherbrooke sur le pouce. Le soir, il offre divers plats de brochettes, viandes et salades plus complexes a prix raisonnable pour tout les gouts! Apportez votre propre vin, le proprietaire est toujours sur place en train de cuisiner, tres sympathique et delicieux!

December 23, 2016

I gave 1 star because you cant give 0! One of the worst restaurants in Sherbrooke, four of us went and we were all disappointed. we ate 4 different plates of skewers: one of shrimp which was burnt and one of beef with parsley which tasted earthy. I also ate the worst salad of my life and the worst hummus there. The only positives were that we were able to bring our own wine which was very good and the service was quite cordial. Restaurant to avoid at all costs.
