The food is average to good, but if you come with a group of people don’t expect that you will be paying less, in fact you will be a lot more, $50+tx for each one for some appetizers and lamb and rice

We drove all the way from Mississauga to Montreal to try Le Chef, and the vibe was amazing—so warm, and the food felt like genuine Palestinian home cooking. The kids adored the entertainer, and the special Eid menu was a wonderful touch. But I was absolutely furious after we left. When we asked for a mix of chicken thighs and breasts on the fattah, the server never mentioned an extra $15. If we had known, we wouldn’t have ordered it. When we questioned the bill, they just dismissed us, saying the manager wasn’t available and refused to adjust it. I left feeling really upset, as the evening, unfortunately, ended on a sour note after such high expectations.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited. The food is incredibly delicious, and every dish is prepared with great care and quality. The service is fast, and the staff are very polite and welcoming you truly feel like a valued guest. The place is clean, well-organized, and has a relaxing atmosphere. Honestly, it’s an experience worth repeating, and I highly recommend it!”

Delicious!!! 😍 My husband and I had the weekday Iftar menu. They serve several dishes but in small amounts. Loved the aroma of both the food and the restaurant!

The food was fantastic, but what really sets it apart is the hospitality. The chef and her husband are incredibly attentive and go out of their way to make sure every guest feels welcome.

*Reviewing the Ramadan iftar service only* TERRIBLE value for the price (49+tx/person) unfortunately. I went by the reviews without second questioning it, but I should have. Almost none of the several meals/appetizers (some of which questionable if not incongruous) served to us was even decent—my colleague agrees. I sure hope the food quality is better outside of these special events. Otherwise this would put it among the top of my list of overrated (and massively overpriced) places in the city to avoid.

I ordered from here on DoorDash the other day and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this restaurant. I got the Chef Platter, which allowed me to choose several items to sample, and every single dish was prepared and packaged with the utmost care, packed with flavour and affordable for the quality of the food. What struck me as I was enjoying my meal was just the extent to which I felt like I was eating something so authentically home cooked in the best possible way, without it feeling like it lacked any of the “refinement” of a formal eatery. Every bite felt like it was made with love and care. Few restaurants are able to pull off this delicate balance, and I’m grateful to have found a place I can return to again and again to experience it. I’ll be back soon to sample more dishes. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone - you will not be disappointed!

Fast, polite and patient servers. Cozy middle eastern atmosphere. Good food for the price. Warm bread and plenty types of hummus, lentils soup had a very strong flavour, nice touch with the tea at the end with the ramadan meal. The only reason for the 4 star is because the potatoes in the meatball stew were undercooked (hard).

Came here for Ramadan (Iftar) and I was amazed with the quality and quantity of food that was served as part of the iftar. The service was phenomenal and staff was super friendly. Great Palestinian cuisine in the heart of Montreal.

I made a reservation for 3 for Ramadan iftar at 5:30 — we ended up being only 2 — and, while I admit I arrived a few minutes late because I was caught up at work, what followed was completely unacceptable for a restaurant that takes reservations. Upon arrival, the waitress asked me 3 times if I really had a reservation — a clear sign something had gone wrong. Instead of being upfront, they attempted to squeeze me in at a table of 12, at the 2 only remaining empty seats at the far end. Unsurprisingly, those clients were confused and uncomfortable, and so was I. They asked me why I was sitting at their table, and I explained that the waitress had seated me here because obviously there was no other seats available. They then told me they were expecting 2 more people, so we couldn't stay there either. When I returned to the waitress, she admitted this time there were no other tables or chairs available. The solution? Have us wait until a table is available — standing — in the middle of the path while waiters were passing by with food. They offered us appetizers as we stood there, but we refused. Standing up to eat iftar, in a corridor, is not the experience anyone expects when they've made a reservation. We waited and eventually left, as all of the clients were still in the middle of their appetizers... This happened last Tuesday. However, I learned today that a colleague of mine had booked a table for 7 on Friday night and experienced the exact same situation — no table available despite a confirmed reservation. It is clear that this restaurant is systematically overbooking, especially during Ramadan, without any consideration for the experience of their clients. Taking reservations you cannot honor, particularly during iftar, is disrespectful to your customers. I will not be returning, and I sincerely hope management takes this seriously and puts proper systems in place because this is not how you treat clients. At this point, I would strongly suggest the restaurant stop accepting reservations and switch to a first-come, first-serve policy — it would save everyone the disappointment.
