The reviews are mostly very positive, especially for the freshness, taste, and variety of the Middle Eastern pastries, with several mentions of baklava, knefe, and other desserts judged excellent. The service is often described as warm, fast, and welcoming, and the place as clean. A few customers do mention some irritants, such as products that are sometimes less fresh, items being out of stock, or uneven service.
Many pastries around but this one has the touch and ballance. Best of all , they're the same people all the time not employees that come and go. They ge to know you as a regular customer not just a client
Best desert best service best welcoming smiles
February 2026: Updating review from 5-stars to 3-stars as recent times I've bought, product wasn't fresh
First time ever the best oriental sweets I've ever tasted so far in Montreal amazingly delicious and tasty thank you
Very high quality excellent taste always fresh one of top in montreal
Went today and let me tell you ! we never seen a person with attitude as bad as the one serving us today , from the woman behind the counter ! If you don’t want to work stay home , if you don’t want to serve French speaking people , don’t work in services a la clientele ! I was a regular but now forget it .
My favorite place. Must try everything
Why people give good reviews for a below average place. I was disappointed with this pastry store.
Everything tastes amazing. The service is impeccable and it's very clean
It used to be better! Knafe came almost empty bread only and when i told the lady she said because it's hot!! Which is a ridiculous answer. I'll give it a chance one more time..
Very clean and delicious
Haven t been aince 2022. Knefe 0/10 dry burnt. Halewet jeben excellent.,but presentation in a to go box unacceptable.
So tasty ,clean , delicious great service friendly
Exceptional taste
Number one in Arabic sweets 🌷our place to restore flavours of our countries Everything is tasty especially baklwa ,maamul and knafeh 🔥 Staff are always kind and welcoming and do their best service
This spot is a true hidden gem for authentic Arabic sweets. The flavors are traditional and delicious — just like in the Middle East. The pastry chef and staff are warm, kind, and welcoming, always offering free tastings so you can pick your favorites. They also make customized birthday cakes, which are both beautiful and tasty. Prices are very fair for the quality you get. From baklava to maamoul to knafeh, everything is made with care and presented perfectly. I highly recommend this place! Update 24Jan2026: still highly recommend. Great spot in Laval.
The best
Dont try the knefe kaake. I had one bite and threw it out. Absolutely not good
Confections are great here. Don't miss them. Also nice and friendly staff. Recommended 👍🏼
“If you run a dessert shop and every time we come you say the mabruma is sold out, that’s really not good for your business. A sweet shop should have its most popular desserts available.”
I stumbled upon this bakery a few years ago, and I’ve been coming back every year since, always ordering either baklava or beinarein. I love how the baklava is always fresh and not overly sweet. It has a lot of flavor. I’m not even going to try to name my favorites because honestly, I don’t remember the names, I just recognize them visually. But overall, I’ve liked the majority of what I’ve tried. If I had to make a suggestion, I’d say skip Adonis and come here for your baklava instead. I used to order from Adonis, but when I compare the two, Al Sham is so much better. The quality at Adonis just doesn’t compare. So if you’re already on the hunt for baklava, just get it from here. You’ll save yourself the trouble.
Great service and amazing pastries!
7.5 knefe soft and all but missed a little more taste.
We went yesterday and today, perfect if you are invited and you don’t know what to bring !! You will not regret it !
Loved the baklava, fresh and yummy. Great box too. Good service.
