⭐☆☆☆☆ (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.

110% customer service oriented, fair prices and delicious, hot, fresh food. A great find! We ordered 4 meals and 2x dumplings. As newbies cashier was very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing 4 different ones to try. We ordered to go and when we got home saw one of the orders had sauce which we asked for on the side as one of our kids had food aversions and when we called restaurant they offered right away to make anew order and came themselves to deliver it! We will for sure be returning. Great job all around

33$ for a burger poutine combo. See for yourself the quality of the poutine. It does not justify the cost (low overall value for money) … Staff is nice. But food quality not so sure.

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.

2 couples on a Friday night. We chose a goumet set menu, . Venison ,duck breast, veau bravette. all meat were cooked according to our order.One of us happened to be a vegetarian, so the chef prepared some sort of gonocchi .for her which was surprising good.The sauce were 8/10 , presentation 8/10, meat cooking 8/10, service 9/10 . price value 9/10, now you have an idea... bring you own wine. it is a good bet for a cozy and money worth friendly dinner.

A beautiful restaurant, tastefully decorated with Afghan art and beautiful music, offering very good dishes from the chef and owner of the restaurant, Nila; our favorites: dumplings (Manto), cucumber salad and diced tomatoes (Salat Afghani), lamb shank, rice, and Afghan pastry, all washed down with our own wine (Bring Your Wine Resto), all at a very reasonable price. The service is very friendly and the servers very concerned and their customers. A little jewel in the heart of the Mont-Royal plateau, 10 minutes walk from Mont-Royal metro station. An experience we are sure to repeat on our next visit to Montreal. Thank you to the whole team of Window on Kabul!!!!

Legit food. Seriously satisfying monstrosity of a burger (see picture). Wen there yesterday for the first time - I'll most likely return if I find myself being hungry in that part of town. Service could have been quicker. We expect fast food to be.... you know....fast. That said, the person who served was friendly and good vibes. 30 bucks for a burger with some onion rings and a can of fizzy water is a little pricey for what it was, but this is downtown Montreal, whadyagonnado. I still recommend it.

This place is beautiful and historic. It’s disappointing that the staff are not more friendly and seem indifferent to their patrons. Given the prices they charge for a meal, I expect more effort. I love the location and the decor.

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
