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.
I recently visited Lylac, & it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The atmosphere felt warm & authentic, the food was full of rich flavours, & every dish tasted freshly prepared. What stood out even more was the service (Carla) genuinely welcoming, attentive, & delivered with a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable.
Un immense merci à toute l'équipe, surtout aux serveuses & serveurs !
Service impeccable, réservation parfaite, gâteau d'anniversaire géré avec beaucoup de douceur & de professionnalisme.
Cuisine libanaise incroyable, délicieuse & généreuse!
Magnifique ambiance avec chanteur & DJ.
Une soirée joyeuse & mémorable. Je recommande à 100 % !
First & last time
Food was good, but too pricey. There was one tomato, kebab & thebread. The waitress told me to tip her 20% instead of me choosing how much i want to tip her. Service was very slow.
I would not go again, & i dont recommend..
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.

Parmi mes restos préférés!
Deux soirées de suite où nous avons vécu de superbes expériences : la bouffe, la musique & quel service : Les employé·e·s sont souriants, accueillants & respectueux !!!
Nice set up, delicious food & friendly staff. After checking out the various similar quality Arabic restaurants in town, I would say that they are the best by far & in par with Damas rest. The quality of food is consistently good & is tasty. It is top of mind for Arabic food
