Overall, reviews portray Lylac Restaurant as a warm, intimate setting serving authentic Lebanese Syrian dishes with consistently flavorful, generously portioned meals. The food is repeatedly described as fresh, well presented, and rich in authentic flavors, with standout mezze, grills, and handmade bread. The atmosphere is noted for its inviting decor, cleanliness, and a vibe enhanced by Arabic music, live singing, and occasional DJ entertainment that makes it suitable for celebrations. Service is highlighted as attentive, friendly, and efficient, with many reviews praising staff for personalized touches and smooth catering for birthdays and weddings. Many guests say they would return, calling it a top option for Syrian and Middle Eastern cuisine in Laval and the greater Montreal area. While most feedback is very positive, a few comments mention higher prices or the Friday night atmosphere not always having music. Overall the experience combines great flavors, generous portions, memorable service, and a welcoming ambiance that makes it feel like home.
First off, Lylac restaurant is absolutely beautiful! I love the decor & cleanliness! 💜, the service is great! They are very friendly & professional 😊! I love the atmosphere & the Arabic music, it gives a good vibe 🔥! The food is well presented, authentic, unique & delicious ! 🤤 The prices are worth it ! I recommend the Halloumi fried cheese rolls & the shawarma platters as well as the meats on the grill! I would eat here again in a blink of an eye! I give Lylac & strong 4 out of 5 🥰!
Honestly, this is our go-to restaurant next time we visit in Montreal. We drove all the way from Ottawa, & I have to say, Lylac is a restaurant my family & I will go back to. To start, the service was unbelievable. They were checking our table every 5 minutes to see if we needed anything. Not only one person, but we had a rotation of different servers checking the table & bringing us this hot, amazing fresh bread. The food was absolutely amazing; the portions were great, & the taste was unbelievable. For entertainment, there was also lots of fun, especially the DJ between the singers. It was a great combination. If I have to say what was the best, it was the service with their beautiful, genuine smiles. The way they served was off the charts. I strongly recommend this place if you're looking for one place that has it all; you definitely cannot go wrong.

Very good ambience, good food, tasty, I'm a hummus freak, it's delicious. Owner is accommodating & very welcoming, fast service, the staff is nice. Saturdays there is love music, a nice touch. Highly recommend to try this place. You won't be disappointed. Great food! The beautiful lady at the door , is very welcoming, always smiling, makes you feel at home.
So the place is beautiful. Food is yummy One of the few classy halal restaurants in town. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is recently I went there for the iftaar buffet & I was confused why they didn't have any kebabs... or any meat skewers. One would expect that from a Lebanese/ Syrian restaurant. You pay 55$ & get a bunch of different sauces like hummus garlic sauce etc... a bunch of salades & some other random dishes.. everything is yummy, don't get me wrong... but for $55 I was expecting some more meat... Second point, I was surprised to see that they had a gentleman playing music at the time of iftaar... normally people make a prayer or at least close the music at time of iftaar... the majority of people were Muslim & came to open their fast.. why do u have someone playing music? I understand the business side of things, but for the month of Ramadan, at iftaar time it is wrong to have someone playing music..
