Overall, Lylac receives broad praise for its generous portions and high quality Syrian and Lebanese cuisine, with standout notes on fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and dishes from mezze to mains that feel authentic and satisfying. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm and welcoming, with attentive service and friendly staff that contribute to a memorable dining experience, often enhanced by live music or DJ entertainment. The restaurant is frequently recommended for celebrations and catering, with guests reporting reliable, fast service and the ability to accommodate events with care. While the vast majority of reviews are positive, a few comments mention a less satisfying Ramadan buffet experience, occasional cold dishes, limited desserts, and at times concerns about billing or tipping practices, yet they still emphasize overall quality and the desire to return.
Visited with my family 💙 we had a group of 10+ people, & everything was amazing from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, & you could tell everything was made with care. The atmosphere was relaxing, welcoming, & perfect for enjoying a meal together.
The staff truly went above & beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of, especially with such a large group. Their hospitality made the experience even better.
I'm visiting from NYC, & honestly I wish they had a location there because I would absolutely be back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Syrian food & a great dining experience.

What stood out even more was the service (Carla) genuinely welcoming, attentive, & delivered with a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable.

Just so you know how delicious the food is, I forgot to take enough photos 🤤 This restaurant is a great representative of the Aleppine/Syrian food. Straight to the point, authentic, traditional, correct Syrian cuisine. The staff & management are professional & friendly. The hemmos is top notch! & a "Chapeau Bas" to their Chef! Bravo Lylac 👏🏼
Lylac in Laval offers a true taste of authentic Syrian cuisine. The appetizers, especially the hummus & moutabal, are exceptional, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The filet mignon skewers, with an extraordinary sauce, were the highlight of my dining experience. A unique touch I appreciated was the quality mixed nuts served with beer!🍺 The staff is outstanding, providing top-notch customer service that truly reflects the warmth & hospitality of Middle Eastern culture-something that's hard to find in Montreal. I highly recommend Lylac for anyone seeking an authentic & delightful dining experience. 👍

Lylac, the Lebanese restaurant, offers a delightful culinary experience with its delicious & authentic Lebanese cuisine. The flavors are rich, & the variety on the menu caters to diverse tastes. The ample parking spaces add convenience for diners. However, it's worth noting that the cleanliness of the toilets could be improved to enhance the overall dining experience.
