We ordered the Lahm b Ajeen w Jabneh, Zaatar w Jabneh, and the spicy chicken reinvented flatbread (which didn't even make it to a photo because we devoured it so fast).

I'd 100% recommend this spot without hesitation.

I visited this Lebanese restaurant for the first time, mainly because I wanted to find a place that…read moreserves halal meat for a friend. We went fairly late and found out that their last call was at 8:30 PM--something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit. Overall, I enjoyed the food profile, though the service could definitely be improved. It was challenging to get the server's attention, and some cutlery was missing until we asked for it. My friend and I shared the Mezza Sampler - Hot ($32), which included 2 falafel, 2 kibbeh, cauliflower, and halloumi fries. Each dish was quite good, but the highlight for me was definitely the fried cauliflower. It was served with tahini, tzatziki, and pita bread. I'd recommend this more for sharing, as it can get a bit greasy. Our other friends ordered the Lentil Soup (small - $5), served with bread crisps, and the Batata Narra ($10), which are potatoes in a tomato chilli sauce. They said both dishes were good, though the Batata Narra wasn't spicy at all.

Loved the hummus and tabbouleh -- both packed with flavor and that bright, tangy freshness you want. The mixed grill was huge, definitely enough to share.

The menu focuses on real, sit-down dishes instead of the usual street food, which is a nice change. Clean, comfortable space -- overall a great find if you're craving authentic Lebanese

I especially recommend the Saj - this is a Syrian version of the standard wrap or Donair. They put a pita and wrap it with a flaky crispy Syrian light bread - it reminds me of Malaysian roti. They grilled it so it's crispy. Mixed with falafel or kebab - I had kebab it's really wonderful - slightly spicy chicken and beef - it is a fantastic wrap. I would definitely come back just for the wrap alone. They also have dessert. Multiple kinds of baklava plus knaffeh. I had baklava and they are decent. Definitely consider this place when visiting Lonsdale.

Im a huge shawarma fan. Lived several years in Ottawa, arguably Canada's Shawarma capital…read more Standards are high. So i stopped by here for a quick meal hoping to get good Shawarma. One of their specialties, apparently. Store is clean. Service is good, people are nice. Service pretty quick too. Prices are reasonable. The food is the problem. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with greek salad. Veg/salad are fresh and fine. Pickles were fine. But the star of the show, the chicken, was extremely bland, underseasoned, and flavourless. The chicken itself was cooked nicely, not dry. But it needs seasoning. The hummus was also tasteless, and they put WAY too much olive oil on top. The olive oil wasnt very good either, not sure if its actually 100% EVOO because it doesnt have much olive oil taste. The rice was way overcooked and mushy. Theres no excuse for serving that. The sauces were a joke. The guy recommended the garlic sauce and hot sauce. These are my normal go-to's in any shawarma place. The garlic sauce needs....garlic. Can barely taste any garlic. Tasted like a generic white creamy suace with no garlic flavour. It should be very strongly garlic flavoured. Add a ton more garlic to it pls. The hot sauce I asked him about beforehand, and he said its "pretty hot." I asked for extra sauce too. Turns out it tasted like watered down tomato paste with no heat at all. zero. I dont know if they forgot the chili or something when they made this sauce. And since I asked for extra, my pile of chicken was drenched in this watery tomato sauce. not good. Overall, service fine. Pricing fine. Food, needs a lot of work. I wont be back, and cannot in good faith recommend their Shawarma chicken, hummus, hot sauce, or garlic sauce. Maybe the other stuff is good, I dont know.

Ended up coming here for lunch twice in one week. First time my mom had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap…read moreand I had the Vegetarian Denver Omelet Pan. Seems like the Pan items take longer to prepare, so it took awhile for the order to come out. Worth the wait in my opinion though. I loved my Vegetarian Denver Omelet Pan. It was piping hot, and the Omelet was so fluffy! This dish was a definite winner for me. One of the best things I've ordered in all the times that I've come here. Next time we came I ordered Fries and Cheese, with a bowl of Levantine Lentil soup. Mom had the Shawarma Chicken Pan, and my daughter had the Pesto Avocado Egg Wrap. The first thing that came out was my Levantine Lentil soup. I wished that they had brought it out later though. I don't like eating before everyone else's food has arrived, and it was quite awhile before the rest of the food arrived. Probably due to the Shawarma Chicken Pan since as I said before, that the Pan items seem to take longer to prepare. I took a few spoonfuls of my soup every few minutes just so I could enjoy at least few spoonfuls of it while it was still somewhat hot, but I would have much preferred for the soup to have been brought later, together with all the rest of the food. I felt guilty taking those few spoonfuls, but then the longer I waited...the colder my soup got. Next time I will tell them to bring the soup out later, when all of the food is ready to bring to the table. My fries and cheese came out after the soup. This also came before the other orders were ready. When it came, the server said she would bring some forks for us to eat the fries, and also some sour cream to go with the fries. Holy smokes...she took ages to come back to us. How long does a person need to go grab a few forks and a small container of sour cream?! I think the Shawarma Chicken Pan didn't look quite as impressive as the Omelet Pan I'd had earlier in the week. It was just chicken in the Pan. My Vegetarian Denver Omelet had been a lot more colourful than the Chicken. The dish did come with fries and they also gave my mom some bread as well. None of it very colourful though. I think if my mom wants chicken at this place, then we'll stick to ordering wraps for her. They seem to do very nice wraps at this place. My daughter had enjoyed the Pesto Avocado Egg Wrap before so this was her second time ordering it. For Pan dishes, I'd recommend the Halloumi Pan that I had on a previous visit and the Vegetarian Denver Omelet Pan.

My first time here. Take out order…read more The Tabouleh/Quinoa Salad $12.95 with added Chicken $4.95. When I first arrived home and took the salad out of the bag my mind forced an involuntary laugh out of my mouth. That's how small the salad was. I mean for nearly $18. The Chicken itself was well seasoned. Tasted Mediterranean. The Quinoa tasted older than a restaurant should serve. The Tabouleh. Because it was not prepared fresh there was no lemon juice, and that's a must for Tabouleh. Underwhelming really. The dressing it came with didn't taste like anything. Just slightly oily. So, I used my own at home. Also, because the portion of the chicken was so tiny, I added my own egg. At home. :/ While waiting for my order, I noticed they grabbed my Tabouleh salad from the pre-made window for foods to go. So, that explains why it wasn't fresh. I checked out their menu on their website first before going in. Much of what's on their website is not offered in-house. I wanted the Chicken Salad which they didn't have. When you walk in the place the experience is very different. Cute little spot. Friendly Service. Clean. But, the actual product falls very very short. Disappointing more than anything. .......so, keep that also in mind. Yeah....I'm kind of done with reviewing this place.
