This place is amazing and delicious. The staff are kind and welcoming. The recommendations to try items are fantastic. The grape leaves!!! I’m still dreaming of them…. The pies. The cheese rolls. Everything was perfection. Highly recommend coming here. Only downfall is that there is no tables/seating.

Lahmajoune in Villeray was excellent. The staff are super, super friendly and helpful, which immediately makes you feel welcome. I tried the classic lahmajoune and it was outstanding, very generous with the meat, and the mix of meat, tomatoes, onions, and spices was just wow. I also tasted the vegetarian kibbeh, which was really good, rich in flavors and perfectly made. The prices are very, very reasonable, which makes the experience even better. I definitely recommend this place! They also offer other great options like manakish (cheese, zaatar), baklava, and even pita bread mixed with zaatar. A wonderful spot to enjoy authentic flavors.

I had the pleasure of visiting Lahmajoune Villeray yesterday , and I can’t stop thinking about how incredible my experience was. As a foodie who has a Turkish bestfriend and enjoys Turkish lahmajoune at her childhood house whenever she visits , I had to give this place a try—and I’m so glad I did! Located in the heart of Villeray, this cozy takeout spot has been serving the local community for over 40 years, and now I completely understand why. Owned by a warm and welcoming Syrian family, the restaurant truly feels like an extension of their deep passion for sharing their rich culinary heritage. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on the go, taking home a full meal, or planning a get-together, Lahmajoune Villeray consistently delivers top-notch quality in every dish. I’ll be posting a video review on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) and Instagram (@Foxyappetite) soon! In depth review: Food Quality: During my visit, I decided to try a few items I’d never had before, including the namoura and mouhamara, both of which exceeded my expectations. The namoura—a sweet semolina cake soaked in syrup—was rich and moist, with a delicate floral note that made it a perfect ending to my meal. The mouhamara, a smoky, tangy dip made with roasted red peppers, walnuts, and olive oil, was bold and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. It paired wonderfully with their perfectly seasoned pita chips. I also ordered both the meat and vegetarian kibbeh, and they were outstanding. The meat version was rich and flavorful, while the vegetarian option was equally delicious—surprisingly moist and packed with hearty ingredients and spices. A real treat! Another standout was the hummus, which was silky smooth and creamy, with a perfect balance of flavors. The tzatziki was equally impressive—fresh, creamy, and refreshing, with a lovely balance of cucumber and herbs that complemented the richer dips and meats beautifully. And the tabbouleh—wow! It was so light, fresh, and bursting with zesty lemon flavor, making it the ideal palate cleanser. Of course, I can’t forget the Lahmajoune. The thin, crisp flatbread topped with spiced ground meat was simply perfect. Each bite was full of flavor but never greasy, showcasing the ideal balance of savory spices. It’s clear that they’ve truly perfected this dish. Service: What really made my experience unforgettable, however, was the exceptional service. The family behind Lahmajoune Villeray is incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel like you’re not just a customer but a guest in their home. They genuinely care about both the food and the overall experience they provide, and that’s evident in every interaction. Atmosphere: While Lahmajoune Villeray is primarily a takeout spot (perfect for grabbing something delicious to enjoy at home or on the go), the small shop itself is clean, cozy, and inviting. The space reflects the family’s passion for good food and hospitality. While it’s not meant for a sit-down dining experience, it’s the perfect spot to quickly pick up a delicious meal. Conclusion: If you’re in Montreal and craving authentic Mediterranean food, Lahmajoune Villeray is an absolute must-visit. From the silky hummus and flavorful mouhamara to the crispy lahmajoune and mouthwatering desserts, every bite bursts with flavor and is made with care. The family’s dedication to quality and hospitality is evident in everything they do. Whether you’re a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or someone new to it, this hidden gem will leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended!

Though I visited Montreal many times and sometimes for extended periods, this place was a very lovely surprise. I was craving middle Eastern pies (manakesh), and a Google search led me to this place. It is 10 min walk from Jean Talon market. They have few vegetarian options, including an extremely yummy vegetarian kebeh! It was a very pleasant surprise. The person who served me was very energetic with a lovely smile and bubbly personality. It is a highly recommended place to try!
