Al-Baghdadi Pastry

I was in Montréal with my husband and we were trying to celebrate our anniversary.
Sunday night and almost all places were closed, just a few were open, but the prices (especially in Villa-​Marie) made us feel as though we were being robbed.
So we quick searched on Unilocal «turkish open» and we found this place. Thankfully we found this place.
The food is delicious and the price is unbelivable. I felt that I was stealing from the place because we paid so little for the amazing quality and taste.
The owner is a very attentive person and treats you kindly.
We had:
Manakeesh (ground beef): it has a complex flavor, hints of cinnamon made it an amazing flavor with great smell.
Fatayer (cheese): simply amazing. Seriously, try it.
Pita with hummus: smooth, good creamy consistency and flavor is nice. The taste is simply a very great hummus, with no other mixed tastes.
Their pastries: we tried all of them and, no exception, all were exceptional.
This place should have a 5+ on reviews. It definitely saved our night celebration.
Plus: they have brick oven that’s wood burning.
This is a real must try in Montréal.

Delicious manaeesh, pizza pies, calzones and fatayer, I tried lots of things and everything was super tasty. The dough is cooked fresh in a brick oven and it’s perfect… I ordered the lahmajoun (meat pie), Zaatar manaeesh, the chicken manaeesh and the cheese ones, I also had the mergez cheese calzone and it everything was amazing. As side dishes I had hummus, labneh, the spicy potatoes and everything was fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and service is fast. Highly recommended.

Très bonne nourriture, autant salé pour le déjeuner que sucré pour le dessert ou le thé ! Je recommande la patisserie kounafa naboulsie, c’est un «hit» de la boutique.
Concernant les pizza et autres plats sur pain, tout est cuit dans un four à pierre, c’est délicieux.

Been meaning to get around to re-​review this place. I have been coming here a lot more since the first time I had walked in here months ago.
Ill begin with the staff. They are all very friendly and really make you feel welcomed.
The food is still as amazing as it has always been. The fresh baked breads in their oven really make a difference. I highly recommend their calzones.
The hookah area upstairs is great. Nice and cozy. I especially like that they provide us with natural coals as opposed to quick light coals. A must for any true lover of shisha.
I have tried many shisha places around Montréal and this one is always my go to. If only you could order a beer ;)

Not sure if we went there in their not favorite day or not… They have a menu with hugeee selection of desserts. We were so excited to order. But the guy told us there is only one type of desert are available! So we ordered it was so old and taste bad. We had a tea too. Supposed to be Iraqi style but it was burned too much… The location is not suitable for people with wheelchair/​stroller/​disabled…
No I don’t recommend this place to anyone. I was so embarrassed with my friends there ;(

A hidden gem on Lincoln st. Loved the food, cleanliness, and the spacious seating area

We came here after reading all the great reviews and I’m really suprised it got more then one star. And honestly, I would actually give 0 stars!
First of all this place is nasty! The tables where dirty… Everything was really worn out looking and filthy.
We ordered Zaatar and Halloumi manakeesh. They are ok. The Halloumi had maybe 3 very tiny slices of Halloumi, that didn’t taste like anything. The zaatar was mostly dough with a little Zaatar sprinkled on top.
So if you like Lebanese/​Middle Eastern food DON’T come here!

This place is a hidden patisserie/​shisha bar that’s tough to find. I didnt try the food, but it looked delicious. As for the shisha we got grape/​lemon/​mint and it was really really good. I would come back here for the shisha but my only complaint would be that they dont really have many options. Other places usually have tons of options and are able to mix flavours, but in this place they dont really know how to. But still, its a nice place to chill with friends, smoke shisha and enjoy the conversation.
As for the service, it was amazing. The waiter was very friendly, made tons of jokes and made us laugh even till the second we left.

Great place! Very inexpensive, and the food is consistent! The spicy meat calzone is a bit greasy, but by far one of the better pizzas in Montréal! Their dessert selection is extensive, and delicious. Pretty good bread overall, fast delivery.

Delicious makaneesh thing. Ask for spinach and cheese, it’s amazing! Also I ordered a small cheese pizza, its adorable and good for one person. The desserts. didn’t try But they must be good! :)

Only 4 flavored at 10pm on a Saturday. No coal exchange after an hour of smoking and ordered water bottles… about an hr ago… not sure how hard it is to bring water bottles. AND it’s not that busy. Need more help or better customer service

A nice and friendly place to have a quick bite. All the food was delicious and reasonably priced. More of a relaxing atmosphere, and the service is not necessarily attentive so if you need anything just ask.

We came on Saturday, and now here we are back on Sunday.
Delicious manakish, one of a kind.
The best I’ve tasted in town.
I got a hummus manakish with a cheese wrap. My husband got the kefta manakish and chicken wrap.
The bread is so good and fresh, the taste is just amazing.
To finish off this amazing meal, we got a sort of creamy dessert. Sugary but not so much that it would hurt my stomach. Meals are so cheap too so if you’re on a budget and you need a tasty filling dinner, you’re at the right place.

My husband and I went here for lunch recently when we were in Montréal. I thought it was ok, but my husband really liked it.
We ordered 3 Armenian Pizzas: the Chicken ($ 3.95), the Lahmbajeen ($ 2.75), and the Sujouk ($ 3.50). The pizzas are 9″ each, so they are a good size. The crust is super thin, so one person can definitely eat 1 pizza. I was able to eat 1 ½ pizzas no problem.
They make the pizzas to order, so you do have to wait a bit for them, but it’s worth it because they are fresh. The pizzas are more like Middle-​Eastern meat pies (Lahmajouns) and not Italian pizzas. The Chicken Pizza was probably my favourite. It was topped with finely diced chicken and spices. The Lahmbajeen Pizza was like a traditional Middle-​Eastern meat pie, it was topped with a thin layer of ground beef with tomatoes and spices. I found this pizza a little bland. The Sujouk was similar to the Lahmbajeen except it was spicy (hot) and for some odd reason very oily. I found the topping was too oily and I didn’t like it for that reason. My husband really liked the Sujouk Pizza.
The staff there are very nice. The place is deceptively big inside. If you are looking for some fresh Manakish, you can come here.

A fourth experience and still as excellent
The service perfect
Polite and very friendly staff
Do not forget to order The mix sheesha :)

really good food for the price. Nice atmosphere, nice people!
Would definitely go back.

Cheap, quick, tasty! I didn’t expect to have such a fresh pizza dough by paying just like 3 – 4 $ for each plate. I liked the atmosphere too, with not perfect but warm-​hearted service. They don’t do their job for getting tips. We get more than what we pay and I definitely come back there.

I write all my reviews based on a student budget:
Got the nutella and chicken pizzas for about $ 8 total for two people, absolutely delicious! I would say it’s a light dinner if you have 1 or 1.5 of them (which I did). Told the manager I combined a nutella and chicken slice and it was scrumptious, he didn’t respond too kindly (but multiple friends have done the same so maybe the world just isn’t ready), other than that he and the staff were very hospitable and welcoming. I’ll be going back soon.

The wrap I got was superb – the bread/​wrap was baked on-​order, and the half-​spinach half-​cheese base cooked into the bread thereafter. Stuffed with olives and tomato (you get to choose), tasted great, and cost close to $ 5.
I got 6 baklava to go (one of each flavor available) for $ 5 – really all good, and so many other sweets to try – I would if I could!
Only downside was that the service was uneven. The restaurant was quiet for early lunch; I got my wrap ordered and cooked immediately. Nobody was servicing pastries, and I had to wait a while for that. I wasn’t in a rush, so it was OK, but … not very organized service.
As an added bonus, however, because of the slow service, the waiter insisted that I receive my baklava «on the house». The food was too good for me to accept, so I wound up tipping extra to make up for the difference.

What the hell with this place? I mean could it be true? I sure as hell am not in the middle of a the dessert experiencing a mirage!
This is frankly a place with a whole bunch dudes running around making GREAT pastries and my favorite Middle-​Eastern desserts. I swooned! Granted, they didn’t have Katayef but I will get over it because I ordered the Osmalieh bel Ashta and it was astronomically delicious; I didn’t even pour the sugar syrup on. There was no need to.
Also ordered the Soujok wrap which was good but didn’t knock my socks off like the dessert but then again, anything with ashta steals my heart. I want to lay in it!
Don’t miss out on this place. Not the warmest but by far one of the best dessert spots.

To be honest when I first came here with a friend I was not very tempted to try any of their desserts. They looked so strange and foreign.
Tried some sort of dessert in a huge pan and it was soo good. They microwaved it and i still have no idea what it was but it tasted like melted cheese and sugary rose syrup.

Une belle pâtisserie du Moyen-​Orient (Irak, je crois…), bien située au centre-​ville près du métro Guy.
On peut manger sur place, prendre un thé à la menthe et un petit gâteau ou pour emporter.
Essayez les pâtisseries: mini baklavas, namourra et petits biscuits, ils sont délicieux et c’est super pour offrir en cadeau. Et les prix sont vraiment abordables. Quoi de mieux?
