The restaurant has two levels, with the upper level overseeing the lower one. We walked in without a reservation and they accommodated us (party of 7). Very professional staff to say the least. They offer food by both a menu and per person formula, where you can pick a salad (tabbouleh or fattoush), two cold mezza, two hot mezza, 4 skewers of grilled meat of either filet mignon, chicken kafta, beef kafta, or shish taouk, and a dessert, all for two people for 60 Canadian dollars per person. You can pick any combination of skewers, cold mezza and hot mezza. Food came quickly. Everything was perfectly prepared, from the mezza to the grilled meat on charcoal, and finally the dessert. Will come back later for sure.

First time at Balila, a new Lebanese breakfast place in Laval north of Montreal…read more Service was quick. We came in without reservation and we were seated without any delay. We tried the foul (fava beans), fatteh, lahm b ajin, fried eggs with tomato. All were delicious and made to perfection. When we're done eating, the server offered us a dessert on the house. It included halawit el jibn and ousmalieh in addition to riz b halib and jello. The place is not that large but it can probably fit about 100 people. Fairouz songs were playing in the background bringing back memories of homeland. It was a great experience. Will definitely come back again to try other items on the menu.

Servers are very nice and they kept check in. The ambiance is welcoming and they have nice murals around. Their "foul salad" is so good and very well seasoned. The Fatayer is super thin and nice (maybe too thin lol) their fatteh is good and so was their grilled cheese. Overall it was a pleasant meal and if you are in the area it's a nice spot to check out

The food is always fresh and tasty and gets a thumbs up from all of my Armenian relatives, even after all these years! Our go-to items are the filet mignon, shish taouk and the kebbe naye. The first two are cooked on a charcoal grill which gives them a nice smoky flavour. You can also tell they are great cuts of meat and it is always tender. As for the kebbe naye, it may seem odd at it is basically a raw meat paste that they form into these little nuggets. They are typically eaten with mint and raw onion. It is a must for me to have this especially in the summer time, super refreshing! Portion sizes are always big and we leave satisfied every time.

Walking in,…read moreyou'll find all the different sorts of middle eastern treats waiting to get devoured on your left, at the far end, they have a variety of Lebanese items one can get done, fresh, in front of you if you have the time to enjoy it. I went with the Lahmajin which consist of a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat, minced vegetables and herbs including onions, tomatoes and parsley as well as the Za'atar manakeesh which consists of thyme, sesame seeds and the sumac spice. Both were fantastic! Why? Well, they prepared it right in front of me, popped it in the oven for a few minutes then rolled it up NICE AND WARM into my eager hands. The Za'atar was good, the Lahmajin was out of this world good. The price tag? About 2 bucks each... and they were pretty fulfilling. They sell packs of 6 for $10, this is a steal of a deal! I looked around while waiting and the prices were phenomenal. How is there not a line-up out of the door for this? There's even about 15 seats to enjoy your meal.... I think I found a joint I can visit at least once a week now. :)

Very juicy and tender ^_^ I really liked their Lebanese coffee too. Normally I hate all arabic coffee because they usually go heavy on the perfume and acid, but this was very nicely balanced and easy to drink. I didn't feel like I needed to add anything to it. I could have easily drank many mini cups of it. I was impressed that the dessert fruit platter was very fresh, because I'm not use to that from restaurants in general. So it felt really nice that they did not give us any old fruits and I could enjoy it as if it was freshly purchased from the grocery store that day. The variety was also very nice and refreshing to eat after such a huge banquet. Everyone else really enjoyed everything (as well as seeing eachother there). I do have a little criticism on the rest of the food though. All very pleasing textures but tasted bland: Muhamara - red pepper dip Babaganouj - eggplant dip Fetouch - Salad with toasted flat bread pieces Habra Nayeh - Fresh (lamb or beef?) tartare cured with onions (I think) What I mean by bland is if I add a little salt then I just taste the salt, I just couldn't sense the other seasonings, maybe I'm just used to really heavy flavors because I do notice that a lot of things I find bland, other quebecois find they tastes great for them. Cheese rolls had a really nice and enjoyable crispy texture to them, but their stuffing inside was way too salty for me... YET it worked really well when I broke them up and ate them with the rest of the items that were too bland, which I preferred to do instead of adding salt. Arabic bread was plentiful and fresh/soft. Cut for us so it was easy to take and not feel pressure to overdo it. I (and just 1 other person) did not favor the yabra rolls (vine leaf rolls stuffed with rice and minced meat). They were all very fancy looking because they were all uniformed, but it was too soft for our liking. Chicken could had been juicier for my picky liking, but the rest enjoyed it very much. French fries were nothing special to me, but the rest liked them a lot. It's always "nice" to play Tetris with your 500 different plates of food on your table ;) Restaurant sign looks run-down outside but at least the place seems clean inside (didn't check bathroom). Outdoor seating area looked very nice and trendy, indoors looked grandma-ish but at least it was very well air-conditioned and comfortable. Luckily we went when they weren't crowded. Good parking easy to find restaurant. Looking at their menu after and there's many items I's like to try, like their yogourt/cucumber/mint thing which I've had as a drink before so would like to see how they do theirs.

Tried this restaurant based on friends' recommendations and saw that it was highly rated on Yelp…read more Good pita bread. Why they put it in plastic bags on the table is a mystery and not especially classy. Very little explanation that everything is served family style. If I wanted family style dining, I would have stayed home and cooked. We had a pricey vegetarian appetizer plate where most of the foods tasted too vinegary or garlicky. The eggplant salad tasted more of onion than eggplant. The fish was pretty good but by the time it finally came, I wasn't hungry anymore. The rice had no flavour and the fries, although nicely crisp also were tasteless. The taste I had of my partner's chocolate cake was good but cold in the middle as if it wasn't fully defrosted. The service was friendly yet not attentive. We had to ask for soda twice before it came. The constant reel of what I think was Lebanese music videos projected on the wall were a visually loud distraction from the overall lack of ambiance. The happy birthday music they play was fun, but we're not coming back.
