Warning warning warning
Check your bills before you leave
We realize & more than one time
They add things on the bills that we did not order , & most of the Lebanese as a respect & trust they don't look at the bills they pay & leave , from now on , look at your receipts before you leave , ask for it don't be shy it's your right to be a Canadian Lebanese & ask for your receipts & check what you are paying for , specially if you are a group & you order to many things I know it's hard to count but do it , I love the place & it's the best Lebanese food but it's not nice when they charge for something you didn't order plus it's about time to do some renovations the place is sooooo old even the carpet some places are sticky I lower it to one star because of the extra charge specially when it happens more than two time that's mean it was not an error
Amazing Lebanese food , so good service so yummy so healthy , you will love each bite of the food & you must try the Lebanese coffee oh my lord how tasty it is , what you are waiting for , go try it enjoy it you will love it .
200$ for 2 plats, food was so average comparing to another restaurant where food will taste better with half of that amount . But that will be my last time
This Restaurants has been around for decades, & it because the food is made with care. This is homestyle Lebanese cuisine, most dishes are served family style. Its our go to place for family dinners & with friends. Recommed the Fattoush salad, hummus & babaganoush, the warm vine leaves filled with meat & rice, & a mixed plate of chicken & filet mignon cubes, with Fries ( to die for) & some rice. If you have room for dessert, you didnt order enough 🤣 its clean healthy food with so much flavour, made fresh to order.
Food: was great but the quantity was very small for the price you pay!
Service: was okay... could be better
Atmosphere: old music, old vibes, old decor, needs upgrade
Honestly it's very expensive compared to what you get... i had higher expectations...
It was a sudden & unexpected visit! The place is good; the food is better than other restaurants of its class; the area is strategically located in St-Laurent; there's a good number of free parking while someone organizes the space too; the pricing is quite high but reasonable. Try & see for yourself, I recommend the place.
