I wasn't sure how our evening at Le Petit Alep would develop. Some reviews said "casual," some said…read more"classy." I think it's a little of both, perhaps depending on where in the restaurant you sit. We were seated in the front on the side, which we appreciated on a very humid evening. Rather than order off the menu, our server created a sampler platter for us which included popular offerings for each course. The food got better and better as we proceeded through the courses, our favorite was the chicken skewers. Food and drink total came right in the range quoted by our server. One unexpected thing was the pita for our second course (which included hummus). It was delivered in a plastic bag. So we were unsure if the logo on the bag was where it was made. We didn't use all of ours, so when we were done with the course, they took it away. What do they do with the unused pita? Is it thrown away? Is the bag refilled and given to the next customer? Did we get a bag from earlier customers? Two other observations: We ordered a 500ml carafe of wine. We were allowed to sample it first, and the sample was chilled. The carafe we were served was significantly less chilled, and the insulation inside the container in which the carafe was delivered was not cool to the touch. The wine was still very good, but it would have been even more enjoyable a few degrees cooler. Also, even though cuisine is billed as Syrian, our server mentioned "Armenian" several times (this is not an issue at all). The only thing we didn't like was the humidity. If that is a concern to you, ask to be seated near one of the ceiling fans.

My brother and I split dinner choices when planning our trip to Montreal; Le Petit Alep was one of…read morehis choices, as he saw it in the Michelin Guide and wanted to check it out. The menu and vibe looked good, so we made dinner plans here our second night in the city. Le Petit Alep is located close to the Petite-Italie section of Montreal. When we arrived we actually went into the wrong restaurant - Le Petit Alep is on the left, and then Restaurant Alep is on the right. We were told that they're owned by the same people and share a kitchen, but are two separate restaurants - oops. Anyway, once we found our way we were seated promptly. The dining room was tastefully decorated, with warm colors that gave it an eclectic feel without being overwhelming. There was also a good amount of space so we weren't on top of each other. The menu is Middle Eastern - specifically Armenian and Syrian. It's broken up into different sections based on type of dish and size, though they also offer a tasting menu. We opted for a la carte, so our server explained how each dish was meant to be shared and gave recommendations based on our party size. We decided to get several dishes - métabal and mouhamara dips, spicy toshka grilled pita, Armenian sausage, and chiche kabab terbialy. We opted for dessert, and went with the cream stuffed atayef. Everything was delicious; I was particularly impressed with how well each dish was seasoned and the tenderness of the meats. It was hard for me to determine what was my favorite, but I would say the sausages and the grilled pita were the best if I had to choose. The atayef had the making to be heavy, but was surprisingly not and proved to be a great finisher. I really only scratched the surface here - the menu is really extensive so I feel you can make several trips and consistently try something new. Service was great, we leaned on our waiter to make some recommendations regarding the amount and combo of dishes to get and he really came through. Overall, I had a great experience at Le Petit Alep - definitely worth checking out.

We started with tabbouleh and the regular hummus/pita which were both excellent. The tabbouleh actually ended up being one of my favorite things and cut the savoriness of everything else. We got the kibbe in yogurt sauce and the kofta with sour cherries, both were out of this world. The ambiance is also very cute and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Ambiance: it sure definitely changed since I was here the last time! It's more busier and way more people and much more busier from my last visit which I'm very happy to see. I'm glad people enjoy it as much as I do .. that way I know they won't be gone and I can come back as often as I can to enjoy their AMAZING AND DEEELICIOUS AUTHENTIC aghan cuisine. Service: always consistent and superb service. The people behind the counter are super friendly and care to give their utmost best service! They are now running around with over 5-10 people in the kitchen as it's quite busy and they have many people working to get their food orders up.. fairly quick and quality is always there! Food: It was THE MOST DELICIOUS meal I had in a while! We ordered many different meals as we both didn't want to cook tonight and felt like trying something different. I am obsessed with their Mantoo .. it's these savoury beef dumplings with an amazing sauce to die for it was Deeelicious. We tried their chicken soup for the first timee and boy was it bursting of flavour. I definitely recommend it when you come try the place out. The Lamb shank wow I wish there was more lamb as it was cooked so perfect.. it literally fell off the bone and it was amazingly tender.. left a mouth watering flavour in my mouth!!! Their rice , lamb, eggplant dish and everything probably on their menu is so rich in flavour I bet anything you try will leave a mark in your mouth!!! Ahaha It's unique , authentic and really worth the price. It is pricey but common its so worth it and it's not as if you have to dish out over 500$ .. You can easily leave full with just 2 entrees their portions are Huge and generous. Overall, my husband was really impressed when He tried it and we will definitely be back for more as the quality, service and food was A1 !! I definitely recommend this place for Real authentic Afghan cuisine .. you won't be disappointed!!! Cheers
