Singer was great very sad that he sings there. Food was horrible & for 65$ the portions put on the table for 5 people were very cheap not generous at all.No filet mignon on the mixed grill platter only chicken & kafta. Service was slow & the restaurant was very empty & poorly maintained. The woman's bathroom was disgusting. Would never go back there.
This was our first time at this restaurant, & unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience from start to finish.
When we arrived, the restaurant was almost completely empty. Since it was a Saturday night, I asked the waiter if the restaurant would eventually fill up, & he assured me that it would. It never did-there were maybe 2-3 tables in the entire restaurant throughout the evening. Had I known that beforehand, I wouldve left
As for the food, it was honestly the most disappointing part of the evening. We ordered the fixed menu & started with the cold mezze. I asked if we could have French fries with it, but was told that it wasn't possible & that we would have to wait until the hot dishes were served.
The kebbeh nayyeh arrived completely dry, with no raw onion, no mint, & no olive oil on the side-things that really make a difference when serving this dish. We also asked if we could order tabbouleh, even though it wasn't part of the menu, & were simply told that they didn't make it.
When the French fries finally arrived, they unfortunately tasted like plastic & were barely enjoyable.
The bathrooms were absolutely horrifying. They were extremely dirty & poorly maintained, which was particularly disappointing & made the overall experience even worse.
The only positive part of the evening was the singer. He has a great voice & really created a nice atmosphere despite the restaurant being so quiet.
Overall, I was really hoping for a much better experience, especially for a Saturday night & considering the type of cuisine. Unfortunately, the food & service did not meet expectations, & I wouldnt return

Merci! Thank you for really good food, a lot of different dishes to taste 😁 the musician & singer were amazing!! I never saw live dabke before. The sound was really good!
Delicious food, great service!
We were 20 people for a birthday party & the owner made sure everything was great.
The singer was amazing & the ambiance was great too!
Brought my mom here visiting from Ontario. She loved the service, the food, the atmosphere, & the singer was 10/10. Thank you for showing her a great time!
The vibes are amazing. Loved the place, the music, the singer & the DJ are magnificent. The place is great for gatherings & birthdays. Everybody is such a hard worker. However, it's very expensive, especially since the food is not the best; very little amount of food & mainly just appetizers. So if you want great vibes yes! If you want to eat well along with that, then it's not the best place for you. I enjoyed my night so much though because as I said, the vibes are amazing & everybody is friendly & loving .
I had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Al Mayass for our company's yearly event, & it was an amazing experience. The BBQ was exceptional, especially the filet mignon-it practically melts in your mouth! The fattoush was delicious, & the kebbeh was just as tasty. The ambiance was lively & fun, with a singer & dancer adding to the excitement. It was a truly enjoyable & vibrant atmosphere that made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for a great dining experience!
