text: Of all the fabulous Middle Eastern meals I had in Montreal this one stands out as decidedly underwhelming The line moved quickly and there was plenty of seating but the food was just not impressive nnI ordered the falafel platter with two salads and hummus The falafel was really dry and bland it lacked the telltale green hue and bright flavor of the freshlymade herbladen patties I am used to The cabbage salad was pretty good but the fattoush was the most disappointing it had clearly been dressed earlier in the day so although the flavor was nice the lettuce and pita were limp and unappetizing The hummus was pretty average too not as lemony and smooth as I likennThe counter staff was pleasant and the prices a little high though probably average for that part of town Still with so many better Middle Eastern restaurants in the city I would pass on this one
