Mirage Restaurant

It was my first time eating there and it was amazing. I love the authentic decor and the food and service was exceptional. We had the whole grilled chicken which was greatly seasoned and well cooked that wasn’t too dry just perfect tenderness.

We went 3 times and really enjoyed the atmosphere and food there. My "picky eater" daughter also loved the food and the middle eastern decoration and furniture. I would recommend this place for a nice and cozy halal meal in Montreal.

Recently hosted a celebration here for my friend, and it was phenomenal! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, effortlessly handling our party of 17. The diverse menu pleased everyone, and the food was exceptional.

Special shoutout to manager Abdallah for his personal touch, checking in to ensure everything was perfect. The inviting atmosphere and top-notch service made it a memorable night. Highly recommend for any occasion!

Best Mediterranean food ever. Loved their beef and chicken. Their mahamurrah and hummus is also delicious. Even just rice is amazing.
Must go. Suggested to take reservations.
One of the reviews mentioned they have hookah.but when we entered we found out they don't serve hookah

Definitely make a reservation, this place is popular amongst the locals and so worth it! Everything served was gourmet and fresh and Definitely delishes!

Amazing arabic food, authentic taste, had the Kofta and the grilled chicken, both were amazing, also had the hummus, the muhammara wasn't the greatest but wasn't the worst, service is always amazing and the atmosphere is very cozy feels like home.

Atmosphere: Cozy upscale mediterranean restaurant.

Service: The food took a very long time to arrive and we had our order come wrong or drinks forgotten. We mentioned there was stickers on the tomato in the salad and hair in several dishes, including in the rice, hummus and salad and the staff just did not seem to care about it. I understand if low cost restaurant has this, but this is a more upscale restaurant, making it weird.

Food: Food was good, where the 1kg grill platter we got was very flavorful but slightly overcooked (chicken and beef was tough). Amazing fries and great kafta. Falafel were crispy, fresh and delicious.

Value: Slightly overpriced

Revisited restaurant on 2023-02-07

Cook who created the food safety hazard was removed from the kitchen. Experience greatly differed:

Service: The waitress helped us pick the food and gave us great suggestions. We had the 1kg platter again, where they served amazing variety of meat dishes accompanied with delicious sides. Serving time greatly improved from around 30-40 min wait time for food to arrive after ordering to around 15 min. No hair or sticker found in the food this time, experience was greatly improved.

Food: Filet mignon, kafta and roasted tomatoes were delicious. Chioken was slightly dry when we ran out of garlic sauce.for the amount of meat, the accompanying hummus and garlic sauce was slightly lacking in quantity from my experience coming there and ordering the 1kg platter twice. Delicious fruit smoothies (mango and strawberry) and the moroccan tea was a great addition to the meat focused meal adding a balance to our exprience.

Went there with a group of friends, we had a private table, the food is very good but the service is slow. I recommend to take reservations and split the meals with friends.

Really nice restaurant with traditional ambiance and clean setup. Great place to bring family. Two nooks are specialty setup for occasions. Service is great too.

However, few things to point out without taking it away from the review.
1. Some items are over prices that are especially items that should’ve be. Mozzarella sticks from super market frozen ones are $13 for one order of 5 sticks. Cheese role is $2.50 each!
2. When we were early alone in restaurant service was great but when they got busy the wait staff was overwhelmed and forgot about us. It may be one off experience.
3. For a restaurant that has fresh kabobs and good setup, they have no traditional desserts but instead cheesecake and chocolate cake from super market.
4. The cheese rolls have too much salt.

Ambiance très bonne, cuisine sur la grosse coche exceptée les petites patates à l'ail qui étaient extrêmement salées! Le thé marocain était excellent, je me sentais au bercail

La décoration est magnifique, l'atmosphère est très bonne, la serveuse était très gentille, pour la nourriture ça dépend, la viande hachée en brochettes est bonne, en cube était un peu trop cuite pour moi donc a manger chaud sinon elle durcie, l'erreur a ne pas faire pour une assiette de 40 $ il ne fallait pas mettre des frites de costco surgelées, à part ça nous avions passé une très belle soirée:)

Highly recommended! Best Mediterranean food in town. I would thank the moroccan girl inssaf, she was super kind and professional. Best experience, surely will come again.

The food was very tasty. Staff was very polite and attentive
Will definitely come back to taste other dishes. After dinner I tried their black tea, it was very pleasant ;)

Very beautiful qauint halal place. The food prices are decent compared to the portion size. Taste was generic medditerianian food but the venue is absolutely beautiful, well decorated, clean and staff are friendly. I've added a few photos, was surprised to see it wasn't as busy as it should be given how unique the atmosphere is. It's definitely worth going for the environment. Even the staff wore the traditional hats which was a bonus to the experience. We got the mixed platter and an appetizer I can't remember the name of.

Service is extremely poor, food is ok but very dry. I won’t go back. Bright lights ruin what could be a nice atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious dishes. I ordered lentil soup, chicken shish tauok with rice and fried on the side. With delicious Moroccan mint tea. Good hospitable service.

On a attendu 1h pour être servi + mauvais accueil+Vraiment un mauvais service. Après avoir payer je me suis rendu compte que la caissière m'a facturé 5 dollars de plus que le prix annoncé (je garde toujours la facture). Et la caissière au lieu de me rembourser le 5 $ elle a plutôt commencé à négocier en me disant tu veux combien? Et elle m'a obligé de payer un extra pour du ketchup vrmt du n'importe quoi! Ça c'est passé aujourd'hui le 2021/12/10 à 19h30. Je conseil au propriétaire d'améliorer le service avant que ça soit trop tard.

Very delicious food. Very attentive staff. Overall our party of 10 left very happy! Family friendly beautiful and organized

Excellent food and customer service. My mother forgot her glasses and we realised late. They kept them safe and when we called they graciously shipped them to Toronto to my mom for free. Great place. Highly recommended.

Good tasty middle Eastern food. Unfortunately a couple of items were unavailable. Nicely decorated, Great picture opportunities.

Was super yummy and fresh! I really liked their creativity for bread. Highly recommended for someone who likes mixed plates.

Yes yes yes! This is how good food should taste.the grilled food is amazing.the kebab platter is what you must order.the beef pieces are succulent, flavourful and let’s just say perfect.the chicken is succulent and full of flavour, the bread with minced meat is a revelation as the bread is crisped to perfection…if you want to have Middle Eastern food this is the place you must come to eat it…it is a Syrian restaurant.the hummus with meat was also perfect…I could go on and on describing eat dish but you want understand till you taste it…

Best Mediterranean food! We had Fattoush for the first time and it was super delicious! The staff were very friendly and the service was on top!

Restaurant proposant des mets libanais. Généreux et goûteux. Personnel agréable et attentionné. À découvrir

Great ambiance.attentive service, generous portions and delicious food. Overall, a great place to eat in Montreal. I ordered a platter that included salad, sides, 3 different meats, very well prepared and presented.

Love the experience, amazing food, staff was beyond friendly, services was on top, very nice decorations and atmosphere, great service, authentic Mediterranean food in Montréal

Nice and friendly environment, delicious food
We got the Mirage mixed bbq, it was enough for 4 people.
Quality of food was good

On a attendu 1h pour être servi!
Plats correctes classique et bons.
Facture erronée
Musique un peu forte
Prochaine fois take away

Pour moi le rapport qualité Prix est parfait. Puis je me ressent que je suis dans un restaurant car ya une serveuse, de l'eau à table gratuit des choses rares ici à Montréal.

OMG, what a great experience.
The food is tasty and the service exceedsy expectations. Very cosy, and at first, the air conditioning felt very rough.however the Supervisor took care of it.

The food was great but half the menu was missing or specials were not available. The menu had no description for someone who does not know the cuisine. Service was extremely slow for only a total of about 12 people in the entire restaurant. I probably would eat there again but I believe take out is faster better service.

Went there yesterday. The host was busy on her phone while we are waiting for someone to take us to our table. The decoration is nice. The prices were expensive printed on a cheap menu. Place doesn't look organized or clean. Left the place before ordering food.

My friend got 2 lambs and gave them o cook. They did a good job. Good place to invite friends
Good ambience, friendly staff

I had lunch there yesterday and the food was sooo delicious and well cooked and I don’t think i ever ate food in Canada close to this quality. The rice was the best rice i ate in my life. I cant wait to go back to Montreal again. Also the staff were extremely friendly. The place is clean and very nice.

Seriously, one of the best resturants in Canada. If you came to Montreal and didn't go there, you will miss a lot.

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, best costumer service ever.

The pics will talk about themselves.

The food was good. My main concern is that the restaurant was not clean. The washroom was unusable and even not safe to wash your hand. There were flies buzzing all around us. I didn't feel comfortable to see them sitting on my food!

Delicious food and great service specially the waiter I believe his name Mouhanad.it is the best Mediterranean restaurant in Montreal

Oriental ambience, great food, good for breakfast, brunch, and dinner, and an excellent service makes mirage the best oriental Mediterranean cuisine in downtown area.

Food was fresh and tasty. Tried the hummus beiruty and the khashkhash. Both were very delicious. Food didn't leave you feeling heavy.

Its just amazing. Very delicious grilled BBQ food. Pocket friendly. One should have a visit and experience bcas i dont have word to say for it.

It was a day trip but I was so excited. I wanted to stay longer and enjoy the scenery and the lavender flowers but it soon started raining heavily.

I visited montreal from the us for only 24 hr busniss meeting, I went to this arabic resturant OMG it was so good.
I love it
I would like to visited again.

We were unsure what to order for our group, but the staff was so helpful. Everything was good, especially the chicken! Will be back.

We loved the food Very nice mood and authentic atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and very helpful with their recommendations. I have yet to find a place that has more authentic food than Mirage. The vine leaves especially were exceptional. I recommend the cheese Manakish. Also we had previously tried the Falafel which are absolutely gorgeous. Visit if you want traditional authentic Middle-Eastern food. Delisshhh

This restaurant has the worst customer services ever, especially the lady working there.so slow, careless doesn’t care.if you can’t prepare the orders on time then stop accepting orders.and stop wasting our time.

The meal was great but the staff kept forgetting to bring us what we would ask them. Or maybe they just didn’t understand English that well.friendly staff though. I would still go back and recommend this place - very nicely decorated as well.

We went here on a Saturday night around 7pm and found the place absolutely empty, which worried us. But we were pleasantly surprised with the fantastic quality of food served. The server was very polite and helped us choose the dishes according to our liking. Started off with hummus and fresh bread, both very fresh. Chicken. Shawarma sandwich was one of the best we have had and very cheap. We also had a chicken kabob plate, which came with spiced rice, pita and garlic sauce. Very succulent meat and balanced flavors. Just loved it!
