The food is tasty & flavourful. The service was a bit lacking; we had to remind them quite a few times about a dish they forgot.
Seating outside is nice but over crowded & noisy inside.

Special thank you to Mike & Charbel

From the moment I walked into Balila, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, & filled with the comforting aroma of authentic Middle Eastern spices. Every detail - from the elegant décor to the friendly smiles of the staff - makes you feel right at home.

The food? Simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor & freshness. The balila was silky smooth, the manakich perfectly crisp on the outside & fluffy inside, & the eggs were seasoned to perfection. You can really taste the care & passion that goes into every plate.

The service was exceptional - attentive without being intrusive. The staff took the time to explain the dishes & even offered great pairing suggestions. It's rare to find a place that balances quality, hospitality, & authenticity so well.

If you're coming for a casual meal, Balila delivers a dining experience you'll want to repeat again & again. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates amazing food !

It's a beautiful concept, but it unfortunately doesn't go beyond being a concept.

The food & space is clean which is great. Bathrooms would take some more cleaning.

The food would greatly benefit from more flavour, better presentation & the touch of authenticity compared to it being treated as a business.

Food was left on the counter for a bit, the server gave us tissues but then placed them literally on the food 🫤. Also. I am not sure about chewing'munching' gum while taking the order.

I wish you guys all the best! Would love to see improvements to make it more of an experience 🤍

Very good place, clean & good service & quick. But the fatteh although tasty, needed more cumin, lemon & garlic. Lack a little more flavor. Cheese manoushe was very good. Overall decent restaurant but im a fan of fatteh so I'd eat it somewhere else especially its the same price at other places we know of but the rest was very good.

Excellent déjeuner méditerranéen à Laval! Les prix sont un peu au-dessus de la moyenne, mais il en va de même pour la qualité des ingrédients. En plus, le pain, les légumes & le thé sont inclus.

Je recommande le fatteh à la viande : un bon déjeuner bien complet, & une portion généreuse, parfaite pour partager!
