Another amazing meal at omnivore ! I sat outside & enjoyed the awesome Oct weather & the sunset sky.
Had the Bombay sandwich with fattouch salad , which they made special for me without peppers ! All delicious ! Every bite is a flavour explosion . I had the trio with homemade lemon aid . It was amazing & not too sweet! To top it all off had a date cookie & like a honey cake that I can't remember the name of. Each time I come here I feel like I am treated like family . This is the place to come for flavourful comfort food ! As an added bonus there was a comedy show going on so I decided to get a ticket & add laughter to my perfect menu!
Food was amazing, homemade, fresh & full of flavor. The cheese roll & kebbe especially were delicious. The menu has a lot of choices. Service was impeccable, the wait was normal. Must try

With this being next to Boustan's, it's a no brainer to go here. I suggest the lemonade - it's not too sweet & is homemade. They also give you an unholy amount of garlic sauce & humus, so I don't have to pay extra for sauce (like I normally would). The staff is super kind as well. They also cater to gluten intolerances or diseases, just ask.

Always a warm welcome & smiles from all staff; servers, cooks & kitchen staff. Joyful & pleasant decor, lots of REAL plants...tastefully decorated during holidays, but not overly so. Don't feel rushed to leave whenever is over, ok to linger, whether alone or in a group (had a small group gathering of ladies in our 50s in the winter & we appreciated being able to actually hear one another speaking unlike many other restaurants where to noise level, music or acoustics of location make it difficult to have conversations). Some of us are of mixed Lebanese origins so we really appreciated the homemade Lebanese & fusion dishes. My personal favorites are the samac (fish) sandwich & the Thai fusion (chicken instead of beef) sandwichwith peanut sauce. Love the homemade lemonade with hint of mint.
No negatives with our experience here! The place has a cozy plant ambiance with jazz music. Lots of nice decorations, mosaic tables & spacious seating. The food was very good, big portions & lots of drink options. The waiter (owner I believe?) was very welcoming & helpful with ordering for a 2 year old. All around great experience & I'm excited to eat here again! Thanks! Had the Omnivore & Carnivore + a homemade lemonade.
Yesterday night I had supper with my bestfriends at this homemade Lebanese restaurant & was very impressed! The cleanliness standards were exceptional. The attention to detail in both the ambiance & the food presentation truly reflected their commitment to quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Lebanese cuisine in a spotless environment!

I am not Lebanese myself but I love their food! It is a good throwback to the middle east. They serve all kinds of foods but what I chose to order for my first time is potatoes with garlic, freshly squeezed lemonade & a pita chicken sandwich. The food was delicious & felt homemade, the service was excellent & the restaurant was clean. Overall very nice experience!
