What a great little spot for food takout. The mouhamara and the hummus are the best that I have tasted. So were the sablés. I just couldn't stop eating them. What made my visit even more enjoyable was Marc's warm welcome when I walked through the door and the wonderful conversation which ensued in between the search for all other products that were available. With the many varieties of food available, they were well presented and labelled in their take-out containers. I will surely go back.

Excellent service and array of Armenian/Syrian ready-to-eat/heat food selections (from biscuits to appetizers, salads/sides, and meals). Everything I tried was extremely fresh, tasty and well-spiced. The cheese rolls (bourag) were especially fab! Quality is top-notch at this place. It is a truly welcome addition to the neighborhood that we are lucky to have.

had a great experience there! went to olive & brioche yesterday for lunch, walked in and started talking with mark, super friendly guy. We started talking about hummus and he offered me a free tub of hummus. Not only was it free, it was also really good.

This Gem place should be more on the food map in Montreal. Specially if you are searching for the Best Hemmos (Hummus) in town. The team that running the kitchen is top notch. Please try their ready to eat meals they are all . *Go get hemmos add olive oil, cumin and red Aleppo pepper on top and enjoy the best dip ever

Great quality food made by amazing people. I definitely recommend trying out a few things. I for one love dipping their beef rolls in their hummus ( which is one of the best I've ever had )

After the experience, the food is more than wonderful and the taste is very delicious. I advise everyone to try it, especially the hummus. You will feel like you are eating in the Middle East. Reception, service and prices are provided with care and competence. It is the best takeaway Arabic food place in Montreal .
