“ Love love all this place has to offer, authentic, fresh and delicious homemade delicacies, from sweet to savoury..a great variety of baked goods. Kind and friendly service too. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Small well managed shop, serving authentic Armenian Lahmajun. (Called Antabli style) I would give it 7.6 out of 10. But Excellent thin dough. Service is greate. ”
“ After watching an influencer's review of this establishment, I decided to go pay them a visit. I walked in and I was quickly greeted with warm smiles. The older man tending to the oven as he made fresh lahmajounes. The lady helping. The young man (the son of the man at the eoven) behind the counter and I spoke about the history of this bakery. I mentioned that it was my first visit as I'm from off the island. There was an appreciation in his eyes, knowing that someone made an effort to visit his business. I purchased many items... all made in-house: hot spinach-stuffed "sandwich" for the drive back home, stuffed vine leafs, Kebbe, cheese-cigar thingies, hummus, and of course the star of the show: lahmajounes (I'm not stranger to lahmajounes as I was introduced to them at a very early age by distant relatives). Every single item was phenominal. Affordable. Bakery is clean. Parking can be challenging, but well worth the effort. ”
“ 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. ”
