The fatteh with crispy pita & toasted nuts was a winner, but honestly the highlight of my night was just me. If you are a cute guy with good taste, leave a note here & maybe we can compare notes over a drink. You will not regret it.

Honest review: Well-located, good vibe, plenty of parking space, the waiters & staff were very nice.

However, I found that some menu items were overpriced, like the eggs with soujouk ($18) the plate was so small I was able to finish it within a couple of minutes even with bread. The zaatar mankoushe ($8) was very thin & lacked some flavor. They don't serve tap water so you have to pay for water. There were flies around our table during our whole visit. There was also a loud fan noise coming from the ceiling, so it was hard to have a conversation.

Sadly, I wouldn't be visiting again soon.

Absolutely amazing authentic Lebanese breakfast!

The fatteh & fool were flavorful, fresh, & perfectly prepared, & the zaatar cheese man2oushe was delicious with the perfect balance of crispy dough & flavor.
Everything tasted homemade & authentic.

On top of the excellent food, the staff were so friendly & welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you're looking for a true Lebanese breakfast experience, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

We didn't plan to have our breakfast at this restaurant , planned at Kumoun but it was closed, Googled it a bit & found Balila was nearby. We really enjoyed our time & food here. Staff was so nice, restaurant was large & very clean, washroom very clean, food was amazing, price was very decent. We drove from Regina Sask visiting a few cities, & surely if we come again Montreal we will eat again here.
