Are you looking for a restaurant that serves high-quality food with fresh ingredients? Look no more! Montaha's Bistro & Cafe is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Swift Current, SK. As a family owned restaurant, we only use the best and finest ingredients in all our dishes.
Hands down the best food in Swift Current! Me and my husband went tonight for the first time and was wowed in every way! The service was so friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back for all of our date nights!
My husband and I stopped here on our way through town and we both were super impressed by the amazing flavour of everything that touched our lips. From the coffee, to the rice, the salads, the meat, and our desserts. EVERY single bite and sip was delicious! We'll certainly come back!
Popped in for a quick bite, we received a friendly welcome. Ordered the shawarma, fries & green smoothie. The food was really tasty & seasoned beautifully. Service was quick & relaxed & the bill very reasonable! We will definitely be back!
I have just had one of the best meals of my life at Montaha’s Bistro in Swift Current. To begin, the owners treat you like family; the customer service was amazing. They work so hard and do quickly, you wish for them to have a rest with you! We ordered a platter with falafel, dolma, hummus, and baba ganoush. We also had batata harra (which I could eat 14 bowls of if given the chance). We followed up with the Lebanese BBQ of shish kabob and shish tawook. We also had a pistachio-cheese-cake dessert. We couldn't stop smiling as we devoured every bite. We sat giggling to ourselves that we were having this amazing food experience. I sincerely thank the owners for a meal and an outing with my husband that I'll never forget.
Absolutely incredible food. Equally amazing service. A ton of high quality vegan options and easily the best falafel we've had in ages. The gentleman serving us was kind, knowledgeable and very quick. The place serves made from scratch items that are served in generous portions, which means great value. We are visiting from Saskatoon for a wedding here in Swift Current, but 11/10 would come back anytime we stop in Swift Current or pass through. This place should be lined up out the door. Thanks for a wonderful experience, start to finish!
A hidden gem! Tasty Lebanese food made from scratch. Served piping hot & full of flavor. Delicious Chai tea blend. Highly recommend!
Nice change of pace from the regular restaurant you find in small cities. Waiter was friendly and helpful.
The shawarma with spicy garlic sauce was absolutely incredible, with fresh and delicious ingredients. I can't wait to try other things on the menu. We're extremely lucky to have such authentic Lebanese cuisine in our small town, looking forward to revisiting sometime soon!
This is not your normal Lebanese restaurant. Western and Lebanese dishes!!
Stop overnight in Swift current , what a great choice we made The food was excellent ,authentic and Made with love , small family restaurant with the real flavours of Lebanese food Parking: Park in front of restaurant for free
Very quick, very delicious. A great for lunch and a must try.
Have eaten here a dozen times. Best food in swiftcurrent, and they give you a nice desert sometimes :)
the taste is very very good. the shawarma is still authentic. reminds me of all the great shawarma of Ontario. not quiet shawarma king lvl but it still 5 stars!! blew prairie donairs shawarma out of the water. the garlic sauce is on point. although they did say they have no gyro and had to make the chicken in the oven, but thats ok for Saskatchewan. prairie Donair and many other place have gyro but dont use it anyway. i would eat here than prairie Donair. better than what i could get in Regina.
An amazing food experience. Chai tea and Baklava was so good.
New to town and already my favourite restaurant. Lovely service, atmosphere and simply amazing food! Cant wait to come back, thanks!

We had the chai tea tabbouleh salad and gyro wrap. It was the best of each that I ve ever had. If I lived in Swift current this would be my go to restaurant. Amazing.
This was a big surprise. The food was awesome staff was friendly. A small restaurant you might want to phone ahead. I would and hope to go here again I bought gift cards for this facility and they would not accept them.claimed they were under new management and did not have to honour them. Staff is not what it was. I will never go here again.
Homemade hummus with local chickpeas was awesome. Beirut Salad was tasty, light and chicken was fresh and moist. Chicken wrap with spicy garlic was zippy and flavorful. Ended with really great baclava and Lebanese espresso. Service was very prompt and pleasant. Was a nice change and great lunch option. . Vegetarian options: Hummus and Salads.
I ve been there a few times with friends and by myself and I m always beyond pleased with everything I ve ordered. Amazing array of flavours and spices and a great selection. Highly recommend!

Was driving across the western provinces and stopped for supper. Excellent food, good value, pleasant service.
10/10 fantastic food, definitely made with love.
Stopped here on the way from Vancouver to Winnipeg, and the food and service were great. Have to try their house made Chai.
What a gem! The bistro is small, but the food is fantastic! I really enjoyed the lentil soup appetizer as well as the custard.
Been here a lot of times for wraps, and happy every time I go. The chicken shawarma and chicken tawook wraps are easy choices from a good menu.
Wish we lived in Swift Current so we could enjoy this place more often. We discovered this gem, driving through back to Winnipeg from Canmore. Everything we tried was amazing and we loved chatting with the server/owner to learn more about the menu items. Save room (if you can) for dessert!
Fresh and tasty food and friendly service. We will be back! I need to try more of the gluten free meals offered! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!
Delicious cuisine. The customer service was fenominal. Definitely worth it to come here.
Absolutely delicious, and a great find!! Swift Current is very lucky to have a place like this.
Montaha s has to be one of the most underrated restaurants in Swift Current. The food is absolutely incredible and the service top notch and friendly. Have the Baba Ganoush and Hummus soooo tasty!!
What a lucky find!! Super service, very friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door. Very tasty food from the refreshing Baba ghanoush appetizer through to the delicious Baklava pieces to finish! We will definitely be back next time we visit Swift Current!
I stopped for a shawarma wrap passing through and I am so glad I did!! Very delicious and there s a park right behind the building so it was an perfect area to let my dog stretch her legs while I ate lunch :)
This was a fantastic place to eat, our family stopped in during our cross Canada road trip and had a fantastic meal. Highly recommend.
We felt very welcome walking in. Our server was very helpful asking if we needed any help with the menu items. We ordered our food and we did not wait very long. Every dish we ordered was excellent.

Excellent service. A wonderful dining experience Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options
This place was spectacular! The food and service were both fantastic! While we were waiting for our meals we were given complimentary hummus and pita bread and it was honestly the best hummus I ve ever had! All of our meals were phenomenal such that we immediately knew we had to order some dessert and thank goodness we did! The baklava was warm and crumbly and paired very well with the custard cake. We also shared a pot of chai which even my tea-indifferent mom enjoyed so much she kept filling up her cup :) A wonderful hidden gem here, and whenever I pass through Swift Current next I ll have to stop in again!
Delicious food and extremely helpful service! Just stopping through swift current but if Im ever back Ill absolutely come here again
Tremendously friendly wait staff!! The food was incredible! Very fresh. Baba ganoush was phenomonal. It was hard to choose only a few dishes, will definitely be back!
Ridiculously friendly staff, delicious food. Best restaurant I found in Swift current. 10/10 make sure to get the hummus
Nice place to get some shawarma! Very friendly service! Would come back here for sure.
A brilliant little restaurant! Real Lebanese in the small city of Swift Current. Spicy aioli (if you ask for it), vegan and vegetarian options, great pizza, rich pita & hummus. And thick, rich smoothies! We wanted to try the Lebanese espresso or chai but we were too full. Definitely going back. :)
We had the special - Lebanese chicken meatball in a cream sauce with a side of rice. Included a bowl of vegetable soup and pita with excellent hummus for dipping. We shared the dessert special which was a cheese (not sure of the type) stuffed pastry drizzled with honey and chocolate. Everything was excellent with friendly and attentive service. Next time we are back in Swift Current we will be sure to eat here.
Parking: Enough good parking close to restaurant Kid-friendliness: They treat kids very well
I ordered the seafood special and it was amazing, sad to see it leave after Valentine s Day. I d defiantly go again as all their food seems great
The service and food were excellent! When we visit Swift Current next, we ll be sure to stop in again.
I have never really followed a recommendation on Facebook I barely use this app but when I woke up and saw this post I called and came straight here . The chowder is very great especially for an African girl like me with a different palette I am impressed .. and the service is 10/10
Delicious Food, first class service.
The owners were so welcoming and friendly while we waited for our take-out. We were so excited for some Arabic flavours while in town for the night and this place did not disappoint!
The best restaurant I have seen in Canada and the owners of the restaurant are good people and their food is good and fresh and they deserve thanks and appreciation.
Everything tasted great and the staff are super friendly! I highly recommend Montahas!

Delicious meal and lovely service. Their soup is especially tasty!
Delicious food and lovely service. Thank you for everything.
Very good food and exceptional service. You get a lot more than what you pay for
Incredible food, and amazing hospitality.
Well worth a special trip! The service was superb and the food was delicious. Best Lebanese food I have had. After eating so much rich/fatty food on our road trip, this place was just what we needed. So refreshing! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!
Very Good Good. The Hummus is fantástico!!!!
I m so surprised with the food. I d eaten the best hummus of my life!! Everything was delicious!! Congrats!!
The baba ganoush and batata harra were outstanding. Maybe the best we ve had. A real gem just off the highway.
Food is excellent, coffee is great too
Stopped in for a quick lunch on my way to the USA border. Amazing flavour and great service. Will definitely be back when stopping through Swift Current again.
Food was really delicious and generous serves. Service was fantastic - plenty of options for gf dining and owner was extremely helpful with suggestions. Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gf options - and all delicious!
Stopped for lunch on our way by and was not disappointed! Great food and service. Very accommodating for our larger group.
Lots of flavour in the food and service was attentive, welcoming and very friendly. They saw my son wasn t eating so they gave him a dessert for free
While passing through swift current from Winnipeg we googled good restaurants in the area and chose Montaha s Bistro and so glad that we did. The food and service was AMAZING!! We ordered the lentil lemon soup (sooooo delicious). I had the chicken shwarma wrap and the kids had the falafel wrap, we all savoured each bite and said it was the best we ever had. A must when in swift current 100%!!!
My husband and I stopped in Swift Current for lunch and I was so excited to see a Lebanese restaurant! We shared the Lebanese BBQ plate, the Baba Ganoush, the Tabouleh Quinoa Salad. It was all delicious, as well as the perfect amount of food for the both of us. What a treat to be able to have an amazing, quality meal on a road trip! The presentation of the food was beautiful and the flavour of everything was even better. Whether you re a local or just passing through, you MUST try this place!!
Delicious-had the Beruit Salad & hubby had a wrap-would definitely eat here again!
Excellent food, atmosphere and service. You have to have the Chai Tea - best Ive had. Also its hard to find places that make good fries - but they sure can here - and best hummus! We are just passing through town but if ever back this way again - for sure eating here again.
Fast and tasty chicken shawarma! Perfectly toasted, with great flavours! Great price too
Amazing food! Very delicious food! Great friendly owners!
My favourite gem of a restaurant in Swift Current. Amazing food and atmosphere every time I visit. The best restaurant in my books for any time of the day. Ryder is an amazing waiter and so kind every time we visit.
Stopped here as a short walk from hotel. WELL WORTH IT. Food and service was excellent. We had the chicken shawarma and souvlaki. Very flavorful and tasty. Baklava was also very good.
Great food and friendly service. You can tell when food is made with love. The food is full of flavor and the dessert was excellent. Our family of 4 really enjoyed our meals and will not hesitate to come back again.
Friendly, attentive service. Fresh, flavourful Lebanese cuisine. Vegetarian options: Vegan Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free, Dairy Free
Food was delicious, music good and owner was welcoming and friendly. I love Lebanese food and this was really good. I particularly loved the tabouleh salad - reminded me of a place I used to go to in a small town in Alberta before the owners sold the business. This restaurant is small but worth the stop. I was travelling through Swift Current and am really happy I took the time to research and stop at this restaurant. Vegetarian options: Tabouleh salad was delicious and they had other vegetarian options including falafel, baba Ganesh, Dolma and hummus.
Really good restaurant ! If you are looking to taste something new its the place! Food
Just passing through town and read a review, so glad we did. Chicken shawarma, Lebanese gyro and piggly wiggly sandwich (pulled pork) were all amazing as well as the smoothie, and dessert! Service was also top-both notch! Only regret is we were just passing through-we highly recommend.
I was there for some work related stuff and looking for a place for lunch and then discovered this gem. Food was so good, fresh and flavorful. Ryder suggest me their specials and I am glad I tried those. His customer service is top notch. The Desert I tried was cherry on icecream. Wonderful experience. Will visit them again for sure.
The coffee was amazing and the food spectacular! The service was prompt and super friendly. Wanted to please us. I will be recommending this little gem to everyone!
Incredible food
The food is delicious, server is friendly, good food options for various diets. Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap was great! Dietary restrictions: Had a great gluten free wrap option and the server was knowledgeable about the ingredients.
Vegetarian options: Great choice of foods. Food
Stopped here on our way through town. Delicious food, great service. We were very happy we decided to stop here and will be by again.
Traveling through town. Google this place, read the reviews, was not disappointed. Will be returning, new favorite place to eat in speedy creek!
The food was delicious. The owner was delightful and the ambiance was great. Stopped there on the way to Cypress Hills and ended up coming back on the way home. Quality fresh ingredients used in the food. A little gem nested in Swift Current. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian platter, great baba ganoush and hummus.
We made a stop here on our way home and were so happy to eat a fresh meal that was delicious. We were only going to stop and get take out, but the restaurant was so inviting that we stayed. They checked in on us and then surprised us with a dessert which was apricot jam on shortbread. It was a great end to our meal! Looking forward to stopping here again.
Amazing and filling food. Chai drink was awesome.
Wow wonderful food and service! So happy we stopped in on our way through town!
The honest truth is that this was the best meal Ive had in a long time. Incredible service and deliciously spiced food. Even the fries were done perfectly. I couldnt recommend this place more highly!!
The food was fantastic and the host was wonderful! Its hard to pick a favorite, even the chips and fries that came with the burgers for our kids were amazing.
This was one of the best meals out we ve had in a while, hands down. We eat out often and we ve had many Lebanese meals. But this? This is in a class by itself. We had 2 different dishes. One of us had the beef stew type dish, done in cream (it was that day s special) and the other had the Lebanese BBQ. They were both fantastic. The special came with a side salad, tabouli was chosen. Honestly, we wanted to lick our plates after snarfing down everything. Plus the sound track of music on, whiskey blues was super. Highly recommend!
Amazing service, and amazing food! Would recommend to anyone coming through Swift!
Fantastic experience. Came from Regina and would drive back just to eat here.
Have had lunch twice here now does not disappoint! Really good food and friendly service & atmosphere.
Just passing through town, had no idea they had such a wonderful little restaurant in town. Ordered the special, no idea what it was called but it was like a Lebanese version of Bahn MI and it was amazing!
Food was a flavour explosion in your mouth. We stumbled onto this place going through town. Next time were in Swift Curent it will be a definite stop
Best hummus in Saskatchewan! Excellent fish and chips, very friendly and helpful staff!
Came to this place because of the excellent reviews they didn t disappoint. The venue is pleasantly intimate (5 or 6 tables), soft jazz in the background, very attentive service and absolutely amazing food. Everything was so different from typical North American fare, healthy and lovingly prepared.
Excellent food, fresh and tasty, top notch service, great value. Highly recommend!!
Staff was very welcoming and the service was prompt. The food was delicious!
We stumbled upon this cafe and were completely surprised by the delicious food and beyond excellent service. The food was great and full of flavor. Highly recommend the stop in Swift Current when driving through Saskatchewan!!
Thank you for the great service and great food
Delicious food and attentive service. Everything we got was fantastic and the staff were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend stopping by for some delicious Mediterranean food! Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious Mediterranean vegetarian options.
Absolute gem. The food was incredible and the service was personal. Youd think you were visiting your favorite uncle who prepared a wonderful meal for you. Finest meal Ive had in ages.
Probably the best shawarma I ve ever had. And I have traveled and tried a lot of shawarma s:). The dessert special Lebanese night was also incredible!
Food was very flavourful, excellent dinner. They also had gluten free options, I was happy about that. Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy.
We drove through swift current and found this gem! All the food was delicious. Get the lemon soup and hummus !! You will not regret it. Service was great Thank you !! Food : 5/5
Food is fantastic and the owner was so lovely. Amazing service, will return!!!
I was traveling through on my motorcycle and stumbled on this place by accident. Through food was really delicious and the service exceptional! I highly recommend trying the delicious food here!
Wonderful fresh food. Top notch service. One of the best restaurants while travelling Victoria to Manitoba..
What a great place! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely worth getting off the highway for a meal
The young man working the dining room was wonderful but the food was some of the worst I have had and the restaurant smelled musty.
3 of us had the Lebanese BBQ. Excellent flavour and good sized servings. The waiter (from Lebanon) was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant Food : 5/5 |
Awesome place great food and excellent coffee !!! You must stop there !!!
Stopped as we were driving through and wanted to skip the chains. Very glad we stopped here. My spouse had the Lebanese bbq and I had the beef shawarma. Very fresh and delicious. Service was great. Food came out quickly. We will be tasting garlic for days but in the best way.
We like to eat at locally owned restaurants when we travel so we made a point of eating here. We loved our meal, it was so flavourful. We ll be back!
Stopped in off the Transcanada Hwy. Very pleased I did. Had an excellent brisket dish with a good and fiery seasoning. Cool relaxed vibe at lunch. Friendly service.
Best chicken shawarma I ve ever had. Definitely recommend a visit to check this place out. Very warm and welcoming service.
Delicious and unique!!!
Youll be planning your next visit before your plate is empty. I managed to take a photo of the baba ganoush on my second visit, because the first time my husband and I were here a few days ago, we forgot everything except the food in front of us. Seriously, this is some of the best food Ive ever eaten. Ive travelled, lived in Toronto and Vancouver, and eaten countless excellent meals, but this is hands-down the best Lebanese cuisine Ive ever had. Weve tried the baba ganoush, hummus, dolma, falafel wrap, beef shawarma, and turmeric rice, and they were all divine. Even their drip coffee (and the cake we tried with it) was superb, but that could have just been the afterglow of the meal talking. I could write about the food forever, but the meal aside: The atmosphere is warm and inviting, cozy without feeling crowded, and the family who run the establishment are so kind and welcoming. We felt like guests here, and our meals were obviously prepared with great care and passion. Im currently sitting in Montahas in front of an empty plate, thinking about what Im going to order this weekend. Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious vegetarian appetizers, mains and sides!
Great meal, I found the staff took immense pride in their food and care with their hospitality. Very flavourful food that really hit the spot.
We stopped in on our way through town and loved this spot. Tasty food and friendly staff!
Food was fantastic, authentic, and fresh, and the service was great!
Delicious Dolmas. Everything else was great as well! Highly recommended.
This was a wonderful place to stop on our road trip. The food was so unreal with amazing flavour. The service was very friendly and inviting. We highly recommend stopping here!
Incredible food, great service. Easily the best restaurant in town! The chicken tawook was killer.
Hospitality at its best! great place to share with family or freinds , fast service , very clean , tasty food , a must visit ..
We chose Montaha Bistro because we love trying various cuisine and supporting local businesses. Very generous portions, the food is flavorful and aromatic. Superior friendly service. This is a business we highly recommend, worthy of your support.
Delicious food, the texture of the food is perfect and the spice is great. Will be back.
Great food, clean, diligent service. Definitely will return!
We were driving through Swift Current on the way to Medicine Hat after a full day of driving. We were happy to find Montahas Bistro on Trip Advisor and decided to order pick up from them. We were pleased to be given kind service and it was a joy to support a home-style restaurant. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma, cheese naan bread pizza and tabouli salad.. all very delicious. This will be a must-visit restaurant on our yearly road trips.
On our stop in Swift Current on March 8 we had the good fortune of finding Montaha s. We had an incredible experience. The Lebanese/Mediterranean menu was filled with exciting options and we were able to find many options that were gluten free.The baba ganoush was creamy and tasty and the Lebanese barbecue gourmet plate was a delicious medley of spiced meats and vegetables; the lamb was cooked to perfection.We enjoyed excellent service that went over and above a typical dinner experience. They advertise feeding you like family and that was how we felt. We will make this a regular stop whenever we travel through Swift and next time I look forward to trying the lentil soup and leaving room for the gluten free desserts.
Montahas Bistro & Cafe came to the rescue after hours of driving from Calgary... We tried the Hummus and Pita as well as the Baba Ghanoush to start and it WAS AMAZING!! My girlfriend is Lebanese and was blown away! We followed it up with the Gyro Lebanese Wrap & The Chicken Shawarma, and were not disappointed. Definitely authentic Middle eastern cuisine. SAHTAYN
Theres a great menu selection with options for ethnic and canadian food. Burgers, wraps, shwarma, falafel, etc. Our food tasted fresh and the restaurant was clean. Staff was friendly, welcoming and lovely to deal with. Reasonable prices too! All around wonderful. Will definitely be back. Thank you!!!
We stopped here for lunch on our travels. What a great find! We tried the Babba Ganoush and a chicken Shawarma - both were very flavouful! We liked that the pita bread was light - not thick. We were given a lemon custard to try for dessert! The service was prompt and attentive! We will be back!!
Every once in a while, you come across a rare gem, the kind of culinary experience you can t wait to share with your friends and loved ones. Montaha s bistro is that diamond in the rough amongst bland franchises and over exposed chains serving the same old same old dull dingy dining disaster. You can actually taste the love in the home cooked meals, and the atmosphere is delightful. There were easily 5 choices on the menu that I just had to try, and the staff was more than attentive in their guidance. In fact you ve gotta try the kofta. I ll be bringing all my friends here, and you should consider it too. You won t regret it.
The food is fabulous, the server is delightful, and the chai reaches right to your soul. The music enhances the experience, and If you close your eyes youll be transported to exotic places.
I recommend this bistro to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
What I had: A spicy grilled chicken wrap/sandwich and a house salad (the sandwich said wrap but came on a long roll - what I would call a hoagie roll, being Im from Philly area). The waiter provided a complementary baba ganoush with pita pieces to start off (yay!) Thoughts: best meal yet in my couple weeks of travel in Alberta/Saskatchewan. I have travelled pretty extensively for 15 years and probably only had a handful of meals made with this much attention. Every ingredient stood on its own in quality and preparation - baba ganoush was creamy and topped with olive oil drizzle, green onion, paprika, and fresh parsley. Pita bread was thin and toasted perfectly - phenomenal bread for the sandwich as well, toasted and oiled just right (like the best of breads in NY or NJ), chicken was marinated in a middle eastern spice combination I personally cant define (it was excellent), the cabbage and peppers on the sandwich were slightly pickled and seasoned (mmmm), and and it was topped with a delightful spicy sauce. - the house salad is 50/50 romaine and garden vegetables (everything nice and fresh) tossed with olive oil, dill, some other spices?, and a cream sauce drizzle on top. It was great. My advice: try it, take some friends, and get a variety of food to share because I think its all gonna be awesome... Wish I had another day and some friends to do the same before I head back home
Great food and service. The server was very polite and provided wonderful service. Along with that the food was phenomenal! A new favorite thats for sure!!
A hidden gem! Can I give more stars?! We were just driving through the town and didnt know where to eat. The food was unreal good. My chicken sandwich was packed with flavor. I wish i took a picture of the custard dessert but we ate it so fast lol. Our server was lovely and was very attentive, i only wish i got his name to thank him properly. We will definitely stop here again.
Stopped by on a whim traveling by, turned out to be one of the best meals EVER!! Cannot wait to go back some day, thank you so much.
Passing through Swift after a long day of trail running and with a big appetite for amazing food, I found this absolute gem. As soon as I walked in the door I knew I had picked the right place to eat. The food was outstanding, the service was warm, welcoming and very generous. I WILL be coming back and will even make a special trip out for this wonderful food experience.
Stopped at this place while driving from BC back to Ontario. Along our trip we tried to venture away from franchise restaurants and eat at more locally owned restaurants. This place was outstanding. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and i can honestly say it was the most tastiest wrap i have ever eaten. Great and fast service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It was an absolute favorite for us.
Excellent food!
Had the fish burger, Philly cheesesteak and vegan Delight. All amazing!!! Food is delish!!
Delicious food, beautiful presentation, quick service, and kind staff. 10/10 place, looking forward to eating here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Swift Current!
Absolutely phenomenal food. I cant express how good the meal was. I tried the Grilled Salmon with garlic mash, the Lebanese BBQ, and the special of the day Chicken Soulvaki with rice and Tzatziki. All of these were made perfectly. Another gem found.
FANTASTIC meal and staff. A great discovery, thanks to reviews by others who also found this bistro delicious. Fresh food and very tasty. Nice to go 5 minutes off the highway for a real meal. We loved it so much we bought take away lunch for our next day on the road. Very clean as well.
Fresh,Tasty AND Authentic! Things are looking great for Ethnic Cuisine in Speedy Creek. Well worth the visit.....again. Friendly old world service. Effortless class without pretentious snobbery. Well done folks.
This place is a hidden gem. I only wish that I visited Swift Current more often to eat here! The food is incredible and the staff are very nice!
Great food, friendly staff, quaint atmosphere and great prices. We were just travelling through and by luck found this place. We will definitely stop here again.
We were passing through Swift Current and wanted to try a smaller local restaurant and not a franchise. Amazing fresh and tasty food and wonderful service. Would most certainly recommend the Montaha s Bistro and Cafe and will definitely eat there again when passing through.
The best taste and service
A quick stop on our way to BC. Montaha s was a complete surprise. Incredible flavour, hot, fresh and lots of food. Defiantly worth the stop !
Delicious food and excellent service!
5/5 would recommend. Was very pleased with the chicken shawarma wrap and lentil soup. Fair pricing and good portion sizes. Very authentic and vibrant flavours. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and gives a comfortable modern bistro vibe. Very attentive and kind staff as well!
Atmosphere was so relaxing and had modern rustic vibes. Staff were super friendly. Food was so fresh and delicious, even my kids who are picky eaters most times enjoyed. Would definitely eat here again :)
I m a Mediterranean food lover and I have tried Mediterranean from many places all around the country and this is where I got the best of it filled my heart with joy. Their beef shawarma is a must try The best place to go to with your family and friends such an incredible hospitality
Customer service was great! Food was fresh and delicious
We loved our experience at Montaha s. The service was great and the food was delicious. We would definitely stop there again and recommend it to our friends.
Really happy with all three meals we had. Would recommend if looking for vegetarian options. The famous lentil soup well deserved its name. Very accommodating to children. Considering making the trip back from Moose Jaw to try some of the other options on the menu.
Very yummy food! I will make a habit of visiting whenever Im in Swift Current! I had the vegan combo plate which was very tasty but everything on the menu looked amazing so I dont think you can go wrong!
Traveling through, we stopped in this lovely town. This small, air-conditioned restaurant offered respite from the heat. We were wonderfully surprised by the delicious, authentic food. I ordered Baba Ganouj and spanakopita, which I love. Montaha s versions are light and very tasty. My husband had a grilled chicken sandwich made to his wishes. We shared a pot of hot chai tea, served with beautiful glass cups. It was all so elegant, peaceful, and friendly. You will not regret trying this sweet little restaurant.
Food Was Awsome.
Stopped for dinner on the road. The food was really good, we had the opportunity to taste a few items from the menu and took some to go after. Highly recommend.
Nice surprising little restaurant downtown. Great flavour and options. The Chicken Souvlaki Wrap - and the Shwarma wrap were fantastic - Baba Ganush had great texture and flavour - really friendly service
Amazing service.Amazing food.We will be back next time we are in town.What a wonderful restaurant!!
Lovely people, great food, and appropriately priced. Looking forward to coming back! The tea was a highlight alongside the vegan platter.
A delightful little eatery. Friends told us about it when they passed through this summer and we decided to stop on our way back from vacation. Excellent flavor and portion sizes. Staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend trying this local bistro.
Amazing food and service! Highly recommend this place to everyone.
Blew my mind!
Great food and really genuine friendly service. Absolutely worth visiting!
Montaha s Bistro did not disappoint. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional. I would highly recommend stopping in for a taste. The chicken piri piri wrap was my favourite
We stopped by travelling from Ont to Drumheller. Everything was great! In particular, the espresso was beautifully presented and fragrant, the lemon lentil soup was outstanding, the dips (hummus and babaganoush) were delicate and so good. The service was friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Stopped by for lunch travelling through. Delicious food, and owner so humble and appreciative of patronage.
Beautiful place , awesome food and great people
Amazing falafel and schwarma. The service was great and the quality of ingredients and preparation was phenomenal. Also the value was so good given the quality of the meal.
Excellent food and excellent service!
Delicious!
Very nice culinary surprise! The restaurant is quite small and doesnt offer many tables but that doesnt stop it from being delicious! The menu is rich, the cuisine excellent and the staff adorable. I recommend!
We came through town and found this gem. All the food was amazing and the service was great! Music and set up gives off a great vibe! When I come into town again I will be visiting again !
Nice little cafe! Server was very friendly and the food was very good! Recommend stopping at this little cafe for a filling, well priced and good meal!
One of the best meals I ve had in a very long time maybe ever. If you want authentic, fresh, healthy, hearty, well thought out food with lots of love put into it, look no further. The service and the food were incredible. The restaurant also has a really cozy vibe, great lighting, and the music playing was . We were passing through Swift Current while driving across the country and couldn t be more pleasantly surprised. Oh and the chai is unreal.
Absolutely a must, when you are in the area! The food was delicious and the service was superb! The menu had lots to choose from and we had 3 little picky eaters who loved every bite. The waiter was incredibly professional, friendly, and very attentive. We are certainly stopping there again if we are in the area.
Excellent service and the food was amazing. Will definitely come back!
5 stars all around. The food was incredible, fresh and very well done. Had the chicken burger and the fish burger which were amazing with the berry attack smoothie, the fries were very very good! Portions were perfect. Cant wait to come back and try more things on the menu!
the best dolma we ve ever had. extremely vivid & delicious quinoa tabouleh, and my love, who is a coffee fiend, adored the espresso. they made sure the chicken wings my senior mom ordered were not too spicy for her. you can taste the goodness in this food. very lovely owners/operators.
Service was great if you like Lebanese food this is is the place to go .if not dont .
Excellent meal even though we had an appointment! Everything is made fresh when you order!
