Very slow service
Google Maps Top complaints
1 hour to receive appetizers, music too loud, 30 minutes to receive water when requested, mediocre food, and to top it off, we decided to leave after almost 2 hours because the main courses had not arrived, and the waitress still added a tip to the bill without telling us, or even letting us choose whether to give one.

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The lahmacun was extremely poor and had almost no flavor at all. As shown in the photo, the minced meat does not stick to the dough and completely falls apart. Proper lahmacun should have the meat mixture well-spread and attached to the dough, with seasoning and taste — none of that was present here. They asked if we wanted salad with the order and we said yes. The salad was very low quality. We also ordered za’atar as an extra, and the portion was disappointingly small. For everything, we paid $36, which is far too expensive for the quality of food we received. Overall, the food was extremely low quality and not authentic at all. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for real lahmacun. If you want authentic lahmacun, go to a proper Turkish restaurant.

1 cos we are not happy very expensive place not worth it and we are not satisfied. We regret to inform you that we are dissatisfied with our recent experience at your establishment. My rock of lamp was not cook properly and my food have men’s hair small tiny. Our bill was 1500cad 200++ tip for the snobby and not nice waiter. We are making a jokes if we can have free shots but he just refused. After taking 200++ tips for his pocket. Despite this being our second visit, we find the prices to be exorbitant and the overall value to be lacking. As a result, we have decided not to return in the future. We will never go back or bring our guess for business to this restaurant. It’s our second visit but never have to go back again.

1. GREEK SALAD. How can you not get fresh tomatoes in season ? 2. MAIN COURSE. Chicken souvlakis: just like the vacuum packed ones you buy at the supermarket, very small portion . Fried calamari : bland, floury batter. Both meals served with huge portions of broccoli past their prime. Once again, how can you not get fresh broccoli in season? 3. SERVICE. Being asked about our satisfaction with the meal, I mentioned the blandness of the calamari and pointed to the yellowish broccoli . Our waiter obviously asked out of habit as he did not show any concern, which was anyway his attitude during the entire meal.

17.3.2025 - 19:15 hrs. LA MALLORQUINA. PUERTA DEL SOL. MADRID. That you are excited to have a couple of "torrillas con crema" and the waiter (Andrés; in the living room), tells you that THERE IS NO, can be understood. But for us to order two cream-free torrijas, to be served to other tables and tell us they're done... it was amazing. I told him and those show him that his companions took them to other tables. As he looked caught he said: I'll see if they stay!. Therefore, it was not so certain that they were over. After 2 minutes: brought us 2 plates and 2 torrijas. He added: only these were left. We saw, during our time in the living room, that they were still serving torrijas... What was your problem?: THAT I HAD TO GO DOWNSTAIRS TO THE CAFETERIA/PAKERY AND UPSTAIRS WITH THE TURRETTES. (They must not have plates for torrijas). And I ask La Mallorquina again and ask myself: WHY IS THE STAFF SO UNLIKELY, WITH CUSTOMERS, ALWAYS?

100% gluten free heaven. This place is delicious! I have celiac disease so it was amazing not having to worry about a single thing I ordered. My friends all loved the food as well. The service was so friendly and quick that we came back multiple times on our visit to Montreal! I highly recommend the yuca fries, and the plantains as starters. Any of the arepas are amazing!

Lunch menu ($55) I recommend the soup as a starter and I had the bento box which changes daily and was a delight, we leave full. The room is noisy at lunchtime, the service is fast.

Had such a great St. Paddy’s celebration here! 🍀 We came with a table of 10 and everything was fantastic — delicious food, great drinks, and amazing service even though it was busy. The atmosphere was fun and lively, making it the perfect spot to celebrate. Can’t wait to come back! 🍻

Three years of annual meetings... and one last visit that puts an end to tradition. Non-existent welcome, unclear service (we did not know who served us), disappointing dishes (pasty broccoli, “fishy” scallops), staff on his phone and personal effects of employees exposed on the counter (drinks, apples, chargers...). Add to that a poorly maintained toilet (a mountain of paper that overflows from the garbage can), and the overall impression is of an establishment in decline – this was our last visit.

Easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had… service was great, we sat at the bar. The bartender was really helpful and attentive and chatted with us a bit. She also made a great Vesper martini. The whole meal was perfect, oysters, escargot, wine recommendations… I got the lobster and he got the rabbit. Portions are generous. And yes, it’s expensive but the food is all worth it. The only negative thing I could say is that the space is a bit cramped, but not much can be done about that in a small space. Can’t wait to go again someday
