food is absolutely amazing and the owner was A gem , but the server was very very very rude and not Accommodating she Prefered to take the route of least effort and putting their own sense of what is right , before taking a second reflect of their own actions and behaviour.as a restaurant’s owner my self it s just so sad to see all this effort put towards food production go to waste with the behaviour of just one server please learn some serving etiquette .

We went on a Sunday morning and had a great time! My friend showed up just after 9.30am and got the last 3-person table without having to wait. The space is fairly small and there are often lines outside.We got mimosas, crispy cigars, shakshukas (mine had feta), the classic breakfast, and ashta pancakes. I didn't have coffee, but others said it wasn't very strong.Crispy cigars were delicious - delicately crispy outside and creamy inside, with a refreshing dip. I've never had a shakshuka before and found it tasty, especially with the bread, though it was more soup-y than I expected. The pancakes were also great, with a flowery cream on top.Would go back just for the crispy cigars! (In fact strongly considering just grabbing an order of those for takeout the next time I pass by.)

Great spot for a great brunch. The pancakes and halloumi omelette were delicious but I’m going to try the shakshooka next time as it was quite popular amongst those around us.Great spot for a nice meal but a little small so depending on your timing, there may be a wait but well worth it.

I ate during my lunch time, so I had to get it to go. But I had some of the best pancakes I've had since I was in Montreal 2 years ago. Update, I went to the restaurant and the pancakes tasted better.

The brunch is disappointing. We ordered Shakshuka and Benedict. Shakshuka is just like a simple mix of tomato egg and onions. For Benedict you could find tons of dishes in town with similar quality.Atmosphere is cozy but not outstanding.

Great food and service. although they don’t take reservations, there was a simple waitlist system posted by the door. We were able to walk around and get out of the cold until our table was ready.

We had 4 dishes: Crispy cigars, which were great, an avo toast, shakshuka, and ashta pancakes. You can tell that the recipes are good ones, but the execution was disappointing. I don't know if we caught them on a busy Saturday and the chef was in a hurry? But the shakshuka, for example, was soggy and undercooked. You can easily tell that the tomato sauce needed another 5-10min on the stove.Overall, the experience was ok and we might come back one day, but with caution around what we order
This is a wonderful restaurant!! Very clean, friendly and welcoming staff, large portions and delicious food!! Will definitely be going back! Highly recommend!Edit: voted top choice brunch spot for 2024!! Well deserved!!

We had Shakshuka and Shish Tawook club sandwich for brunch. Both were delicious. The photo is of Shakshuka and looks weird because I keep forgetting to take pictures until I've eaten half of my food. We had a beef kofta with the Shakshuka.

Food was good and the server was great. Enjoyed the shakshuka which was flavourful. Halloumi omelette was just alright. However, we waited 25 minutes outside in the cold before realizing there was a QR code inside in a lobby filled with people - ended up waiting over an hour. The system also wasn't very clear on what to do when we finally got our turn notification.

Amazing food with decent Arabic fusion food. Very Canadinized Arabic food with very authentic herbs.Arabic coffee must tryEgg shakshoka is another mustFresh squeezed orange juiceand happy drinks too ;)Party of 3, date with wife and sonVegetarian options: Gee options like falafel and avocado toastParking: Street parking
There's always a line out the door and it's worth waiting.The salmon avocado toast is absolutely phenomenal.The service is on point and the Ashta is flawless and consistent.
