Sumac is often described as a casual restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, generally fast and friendly service, and generous portions. Reviews are very positive about the flavor of several dishes, including the mezzes, baba ganoush, muhammara, and some shawarma dishes, along with good vegetarian/vegan options. On the other hand, some customers find the prices high for the amount of food, and there are occasional criticisms about the consistency of certain dishes as well as safety concerns mentioned in one review.
Flavourful and great option for take out - definetly try the cold eggplant dish with eggs, as well as their shawarma and dip platters are GREAT 💛 can’t wait to be back
If you have a lot of money to throw away and don't know what to do with it, go visit Sumac. You will spend $30 to $40 per person and you will leave starving. You would think this is a five-star Michelin restaurant by the prices they charge. Their food is okay but for the price they charge it should be absolutely 100% perfect which it is not. If I want it to spend $100 for two people to eat, I can go to much better restaurants then this cafeteria style dump.
Honestly delightful and good price. If you like Isreali food, Sumac would bring you back to TLV.
The empty plate says it all, the food was absolutely outstanding. The service was just as impressive. If you’re in Montreal, this restaurant is a must-visit. Truly great food!
Good food great service 💯
wonderful staff who were so sweet and the food was delicious. fully halal and delicious.
The shawarma is unedible and unauthentic. Salads are really good. Fries were average. Overall not worth it.
Very overpriced for what it is
The food is outstanding. The best baba ganoush in the city, maybe even the country.
Incredible, authentic, delicious .. and friendly staff :)
Sumac was really great! Generous platter of delicious food. Three of us shared for lunch. Staff was so pleasant and helpful.
Affordable cuisine Good for a quick hangout Taste is ok
Love the food!!
The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was kind and accommodating. It’s a casual spot - order at the counter, the menu is posted on the wall, but meals are served to your table. We ordered the family platter of chicken and some salads with extra bread and were stuffed. Delicious, creative salads. Will be back!
Such a great spot. For a casual date or take out, it never misses.
Let’s start with the positive, food is great. Now my negative review has to do with safety concerns. My son had a big ice-looking pease of GLASS on his drink. My heart drop when he told me - mom this is not ice is glass - a cup probably broke and the glass felt on the ice. Why ? because It was open . sumac, I have work in restaurants and Ice should never be left expose to the elements. My sun cut his finger but I am glad he did not cut his tongue or mouth. This is unacceptable!! Please review your safety procedures and protocols. What an aweful experience
Sadly I was disappointed , My review is taste related and menue option oriented. 1- Falafel is to be served with tahini sauce not humus... As Falafel is made of humus...(Dip your humus in humus?) And Falafel is so cheap to make 0.10$ a ball ...that it should come with Tahini sauce even if it's pricier, when we enquired about it, the only option offered was to pay 5$ for a spoon of Tahini on top of a 25$ for a portion of Falafel. 2-You will most definitely need an extra pita bread and you will be charged... So it truly feels like a set up with missing engrients that you will need to "pay as you go" for a complete experience... 3- We also ordered the chicken and i could not finish the chicken ( and I never leave any leftovers ) so much it was oily or greecy chewy ...it Really did not feel like chicken breast more like greecy parts of the chicken, or maybe when they cut chicken so small and then fry cook it and marinate it ... It just tastes like over fried oil and burnt peppers...something was off anys...was it chicken breast? I doubt... 4- the veggies were dull felt like a fast food dull veggies... I do recall having a great experience with the betrave at this place but seems a reduced cost quality ...was tasteless 5-The service was adequate, the place was empty when we were there, nothing to complain about service wise but the limitations mentioned ... Sadly the combination behind not eating great food and over paying did not make of my review a positive one.
Insane. Get the Muhammara and Falafel!
The service is great! Food comes out fast and fresh. There are vegetarian and vegan options. Cheers
This is an Israeli restaurant 🇮🇱🇮🇱 Its not Lebanese as indicated in many reviews here. Shawarma and salad tastes bland. Humus was mediocre. I didn’t like the food. Prices are expensive I paid about $40, certainly not worth it. I even didn’t enjoy the atmosphere. There are many other nice authentic shawarma places. I don’t recommend this one!
We went here after a concert and we shared the kefta plate. So good! A nic way to end the night.
We ordered muhammarah as the appetizer and chicken shawarma as the main. All very delicious
Nice, cozy restaurant with lovely atmosphere, good food and good service. Their portions are pretty big, we ordered everything to share and could not finish all the food. We waiting a bit for the table as it was very busy, but it was worth the experience.
