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.
My friends & I discovered this restaurant a Saturday night.
The food was truly amazing & everything came out hot & fresh.
The service was one of the best I've had (thank you Karla) & there was even live music!
I would highly recommend this place

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. 👍
Restaurant Lylac is a good Middle Eastern restaurant. The food is decent, but the service is excellent. There's a pleasant ambiance & convenient parking available. I highly recommend trying the Baba Ghanoush; it's a standout dish. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. While the food could be improved, the friendly staff & overall experience make it worth a visit.
