Sentiment analysis: I'm really surprised that so many people love this place, especially when there is better middle eastern food all over this town. First off, I didn't really know who worked here, and who didn't, and thought it was especially rude of the gangsta busboy to cut me off and flirt with our hostess while she was seating us. Classy. The decor is uninspired, and the service was decent. Our drinks were kept full, but I felt that our plates were thrown at us. Onto the food. We first started with the Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus, which was a pretty decent hummus, not as spicy as I would have liked. It was smooth My wife had the Spicy Black Bean Burger, and I had the Falafel Pita. Presentation was nothing special, the idea of putting my foil wrapped pita on a plate seemed ridiculous, it would have made better sense to put it in a basket, or just handed it to me. As for flavor, nothing was exciting, minus the pickles, which were crisp and sour. The falafel tasted like a mix, the pita was dry and incredibly flat, the tahini was non-existent, and the way my veggies were arranged showed the general lack of care/love of food in the kitchen. The black bean burger was much better, and is what earned the 2 stars in this review. The patty was flavorful, spicy, and great. The rest of the burger was uninspired. Vegetarian food can be absolutely amazing, and the rest of burger was a miss. She enjoyed the included blue corn chips, but I thought they were nothing special, the salsa was salty, and the potatoes were not spiced, burnt, and really had no place or reason to be included with the meal. I certainly won't be going back, but if I could purchase just those black bean burger patties, I would.

Sentiment analysis: First thing coming here is that it's empty, got a bit worried but it's a Sunday night and not really a place for folks to go to after football sunday. Service was pretty good and considering the restaurant was empty, it should be! Another good thing is that we saw Japanese visitors come afterwards, whew... must be ok. I ordered the two choice complete meal for $28 and it's a decent deal. Had the fried scallops and tempura udon. The scallops were quite large, fried crispy and perfectly, and came with katsu sauce. The tempura was the same, nothing wrong here. The udon was pretty good too, the soup was tasty with good fish stock base. Recommended if you are in the mood for Japanese food!

Sentiment analysis: Awful, awful service. Our waiter sat us down and didn't turn up again for 10 minutes, not even to ask us if we needed anything to drink. We eventually got up to get our food. The food itself was passe. Some items were cold and barely edible. The dessert selection was decent and was the saving grace. They had advertised that students get a 15% discount and at the end when a few of my friends tried using their (non-photo) university id card + passport as proof, the waiter interrupted them mid-sentence and practically yelled at us that he didn't make the rules and couldn't accept it. A polite no would have done the job but he had to yell and make a scene. When the time to sign the bill came, we all concluded that the service was not tip-worthy. Here comes the classy part - he stands over us watching how much my friend tipped and when he didn't tip, he YELLS again at him saying "That's the line where the tip goes , why are you leaving it empty?". My friend caved and gave him a tip. I wish we'd complained to the manager, but I don't know if that would have done anything given the other reviews. In summary, skip this if you are ever in Montreal. You are much better off eating at one of the other Indian places downtown.
