Review summary

What guests say about Sham Mont Royal

The reviews are extremely positive about the vegan food, with many comments on the flavors, freshness, and generous portions. The service is often described as warm, attentive, and very welcoming, and the atmosphere also comes up frequently as a highlight. A few people find the prices high or have occasionally experienced delays and service issues. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a very flavorful vegan Mediterranean/Syrian experience, with a small caveat about value for money according to some.

I took my parents here when they were in town visiting and we had a great experience! Incredible food, very kind and attentive staff, and the best mint tea we’ve had. Highly recommend the shamiyat plate, but everything was great 😊

We love this family-run restaurant. Superb quality, each dish coming to the table looked enticing and tasted incredible. Love the cocktails - one with zaatar was delicious. They also have arak.

We (group of 6) visited with high expectations as a few of us have been here before and have had wonderful food. However, we waited for over 25 minutes without having any service or even water with the exception of a incomplete menu that included just a platter option (not their a la carte menu that's on their website). It took over 10 minutes to get this first menu (the restaurant was less then half occupied), and our server did not explain anything from this or wait for us to ask anything. We tried to call our server again, and they told us they will be with us in 2 minutes, but no one came back for over 15 minutes, after the first visit. In this period, multiple tables who came after us were served. Unfortunately, this pointed to a visibly discriminatory behavior.

Thank you for your feedback, Sagar. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially since some members of your group had previously enjoyed visiting us. What you described is absolutely not the experience we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the wait and lack of attention your table received. There is never any intention of making any guest feel overlooked or unwelcome, and we are very sorry that this was your impression. At times, service flow and communication mistakes can unfortunately happen, but this does not reflect our values or the hospitality we strive to offer every guest equally. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will address this internally with our team. We hope you may consider giving us another opportunity in the future.

The staff are so nice, it has a real family atmosphere. There’s ample outdoor seating for warm nights. Don’t underestimate the size of the kebab plate - it’s huge! The salad on the plate was also standalone delicious. Also they can mix and match kebabs and skewers for you. Got to try vegan labneh for the first time. And, it has an extensive beer, wine, and arak-cocktail list.

Tried this great vegan friendly middle eastern restaurant on a recent trip and would definitely return. The atmosphere was warm and well decorated. Having restaurant fatigue I decided to keep it simple and I ordered the falafel plate. The presentation was great. The food was fresh and flavorful. The staff was lovely. Would definitely visit again.

Came here for the first time and will definitely be coming back. The atmosphere, the music, the hospitality, the food, everything was exquisite. If you’re looking for some delicious Syrian food that is vegan you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful experience. It was Mother's Day and we were each given a beautiful rose! It was busy so if you are in a hurry maybe try a more leisurely day but don't miss the fantastic food.

We went there for mothers day a day early to beat any crowd. We had an amazing experience, the service was hands on and it was clear they wanted to make the restaurant an experience. We got the muhamara to share as an appetizer and then each got our own mains. The kebab hendi was particularly amazing. Aside from that, we got the "moussaka" and the couscous végé. The drink as well were really good. We had a great time 10/10
