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 ordered a cheese K'nafeh dessert with my meal from Uber Eats & it came frozen. Meaning I had to put it in the oven myself to bake it. This is a restaurant not a grocery store im ordering from, therefore everything should come ready to eat & if it doesn't that should be disclosed somewhere on the App. Other than that, the food I ordered was good but the dessert was a slap in the face as ordering from here is expensive on Uber eats, I don't want bake my own dessert, that's ridiculous. I won't take the risk of ordering here again, next time you'll deliver me a cow so I can kill it & cook it myself.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Excellent experience. Delicious & flavorful food especially the grill platter (Kefta & Filet Mignon were the best I have ever had). Exceptional service - very professional & kind - thank you Elias!!! Great atmosphere. We had my nephews's first communion at Lylac. Everything was PERFECT!! Must try!
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.
The staff is amazing, the restaurant location & decor are also a plus. Most food is amazing, the grape leaves could be better if they reduce the sourness of the sauce (I guess just reduce or remove the pomegranate molasses, lemon alone would be tastier) & the cheese rolls could be less oily. Kebbeh, mortadella halabi, hummus, fattoush & other dishes we tried were exceptional ! Looking forward coming back to this amazing Syrian cuisine restaurant 👌
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..
