    Went to Narenj after getting recommended to come here for pastries. The restaurant has such a chill vibe to it We ended up with the pistachio mouse, zaatar croissant and the halloom croissant as well. $25 total The prices are a little steep however it's so delicious and flavourful that coming here is a treat yourself moment. It's a bit far from the downtown Toronto core but it's a cute spot if you wanna get out of town for a little treat.

    I came across this place on TikTok and it looked super cute and lowkey. I decided that on my birthday we could check this place out. They don't take reservation but better to get their early than later because this is a small spot it can fill up super quickly. We had to wait around 45 minutes to get a table for 3 people. We ordered the In-Laws which I don't know if it's on the menu anymore. Which was super delicious. Definitely such a flavourful brunch. We hadn't caught up in so long so we were definitely sitting there for quite some time. The owner was so sweet and let us sit through her High-Tea. Which is something I definitely would come back to. The desserts and pastries looked amazing. We did order a pastry for ourselves and they were definitely delicious. I would for sure come back to this place. :)

    Food: 4.5/5 very good pastries Environment: 4.5/5 classic and floral, nice decor Service: 4/5

    Phenomenal service! I can't say enough about how attentive all the servers, and managers were. I went with my very big family, and all the food came out super quickly. The servers constantly checked on us and provided excellent care. The food was deeeelicious! The iced latte was perfect. I had "the handy" with sour dough. The bread was tasty and crunchy. I enjoyed the greens with pickles. Very refreshing. Inside of the restaurant was cutely decorated! I loved the decorations. Very pleasant experience!

    Great Mediterranean restaurant that opened in February of 2021. Same owners as Maro's which is right next door. We enjoyed dining outdoors at the high top tables with benchseats on a beautiful Sunday with traditional music in the background. They've decorated with plants, a pergola and some lighting. Very warm and friendly vibe to the place. We ordered from the breakfast menu and had two iced lattes which were great and came with sugar syrup on the side so you could sweeten to taste. Today we tried: The In Law's Omelette which is three organic eggs scrambled with great seasoning and flavour. Some light refreshing Herbal Labneh paste with garlic and mint. A geen olive and seasonal herb salad was topped with a Lebanese baked potato that had just enough crisping on the outside. Delicious, great texture, and very fresh and tasty. Would definitely order again. We also tried the oriental shakshouka which comes hot in a little cast iron pan. Tomato based topped with organic fried eggs. Nice texture and flavour, tasty, and great to have with the bread they serve. Service was quick, prompt, and we met one of the owners she did a great job explaining the menu. All in all a great meal that we really enjoyed. A great addition to the Kerr and Lakeshore strip. Will be back for sure!

    One of the excellent and beautiful restaurant should you wish to eat In Oakville, Ontario Unique menu, excellent service and delicious food. I was visiting Oakville from and my daughter surprised me with Narenj ( Kerr Str). We ordered different dishes and they all tasted fresh, homemade, and yummy: halva and pistachio croissant, Narenj tea, Narenj tarte with meringue, Dulce de Lèche frappé, different baguette sandwiches, and not to forget the amazing shakshouka. Thank you Benson for the excellent management of the place, your kind hospitality and your smile. Thank you Nisa for your excellent service and good luck. If you come to Ontario, don't miss this place: Narenj

    Wonderful decor. Wonderful coffee. Wonderful salad. A great place to drink, eat and sketch! A jewel of a place in Oakville.

    Brisket Shakshouka & Home Sweet Home (came with walnuts, not pistachios)

    A colleague recommended this place to us since we would be in the area. From the outside it looks nice. Upon entering the server asked how many and just pointed her hand in a direction with 3 empty tables. Unsure where to sit, we chose one of the tables which smelled liked it was wiped down with a dirty rag (you know that smell.) A moment later water dripped on my head. I looked up to find a hanging plant directly above the table. The vibe is rustic, all the tables and chairs look thrifted with plants and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. I understand the aesthetic but to have plants hanging directly over tables/food is dangerous for food safety. The server came to take our order and wasn't very friendly, seemed in rush. We ordered 2 dishes and it took over 25 minutes to come out. Mind you, it was a weekday around 11am, not extremely busy. We ordered the Home Sweet Home - French toast made with croissants, topped with chopped pistachios, seasonal compote and fresh homemade cream. It came with walnuts instead of pistachios which was disappointing. It was ok but very sweet. We also ordered the Brisket Shakshouka - Skillet of tomatoes and tomato sauce with three poached organic eggs, topped with slices of fried halloumi, beef brisket, pickles, zaatar and pomegranate molasses. The brisket was not very tender and not like a traditional shakshouka with plenty of tomato sauce for dipping the bread. Way too many pickled onions on top. Also the washroom soap dispenser nozzle was broken and out of soap too, which is a health and safety violation. Overall the service, ambiance and food were subpar especially for the prices. Being in the food industry we would encourage warmer hospitality, more thought into decor placement, better food quality and far more attention to cleanliness.

    iced americano - sunday funday let's goooo!

    loved our brunch on sunday! gorgeous interior and located in oakville - this resto / cafe needs to be added to your list. i got a delicious scrambled egg dish that was full of diff flavours and portion size could definitely be shared. the iced americano was great too. i'd recco trying the delish looking pastries - sad i didn't this time but we'll be back! i think this place would be perfect for a week day work spot too. ps it's a little pricey but once in awhile a treat is great hehe

We arrived around 11am on a long weekend and they had plenty of tables available, but by the time we were leaving, all the tables were full. You need to order your food first and get seated after. They bring your order to you, but if you need a coffee refill, or milk and cream, you need to pick them up yourself at the station. Coffee refill was a challenge for us, since we had to go through all other tables and wait for the staff to refill our coffee, and even there were times they were out of milk and had to drink our coffee black. We ordered "Key West Eggs", "Crepe au Fraises", "Slow Roasted Lamb" and "Canadian Peameal Back Bacon". Our food was delicious and we would love to go back and try more of their menu items.

The Balsamic Chicken (with bacon, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, spinach and pesto aioli) was fantastic, and had excellent flavours. The side dipping sauce was delicious. The Florence St. Sandwich (with tomatoes, artichokes, Asiago and sun dried tomato pesto) was good, but I didn't enjoy the flavours as much so would probably try something different the next time. I would have preferred to select my own bread since the ciabatta and panini was hard to cut through with a knife - it got messy. It would have been better if it was cut in half before being served to the customer to make it easier to eat. After ordering from the counter, there was sign to wait to be seated. Service just to get seated was extremely slow. In the end, we asked someone if we could seat ourselves, which we did. The food was then brought to the table, but it was confusing since we had to get up again to go to a different counter to put cream and sugar in our coffee. Although the portion size of the chicken and ingredients were good, the sandwiches were pricey considering there was no table service, and seating was disorganized. It would be difficult to host large groups or families here. It would have been ok to reduce the amount of chicken to cut costs and price since there were two thick layers of meat. Ambiance was good.

    Maro's is awesome!!!!!…read more I could not recommend this place enough. I went with a party of 5 and the service was great. They were very attentive to making sure we had a great time and enough sauces. I think a tale tale sign of a good restaurant is when they warn you that you're getting too much food, and Maro's did. We didn't care though bc we needed to try as much as possible. My friend had previously gone and they gave her a free salad, so once again bomb service. The food was amazingggggggggg. I'm salivating thinking about it. All of their dips (garlic mayo, hot sauce, humus) literally bussed down in my mouth. The eggplant and artichokes literally took me to heaven. They were so carmelized but once you hit into them, they melted away. I floated away to another dimension with them. Everything we got was amazing and my group was so gluttonous and I don't even care. We also got drinks and they were all amazing. Anyways I would travel back to Canada just for this and buss down once again.

Recent visits, I have found they refurnished the space -- it's now much darker, and several smaller tables fill the space now, whereas before, it was filled with long tables and you would be seated beside strangers for your meal. It had a different, lighter and more communal vibe before. Also on recent visits, the staff server are a lot younger -- still warm and welcoming, but with less urgency. So getting assistance takes longer. Although this makes for a nice slow meal, if that's what you're looking for! The food however, is still A+! It's the reason I keep coming back again and again. And why when friends come to visit, Maro's is always in the Top 3 places to try in Halton. They consistently serve up fantastic Lebanese food. If you're dining with a vegetarian -- they will be THRILLED with the options here! I daresay they lead with vegetables here. No one will be disappointed with vegetarian option here -- even the meat eaters. Be sure to check out their drink menu as well. Their cocktails -- and mocktails -- are great. Parking outside is all paid parallel street parking, since it's downtown Oakville. But if you visit on Sundays -- parking is free!

I asked our server, who assured us it was "on its way," but apparently it took a detour to another dimension because it never arrived. I finally had to track down someone else just to get the waffle made. By the time it showed up, the whole experience was pretty much toast. Funny enough, the only thing not pur or simple was the service.

I ordered the Steak/Mushroom "Angus Eggs Benedict" ($18.75) with an extra egg ($1.50). The Benny had a very unique flavour profile but it totally worked. The eggs were made to perfection (runny but not overly so) & the Angus portion had lots of onions. This was a delicious breakfast. I asked for the potatoes to be over fried & they were & equally as delicious. The only minor issue was the meal wasn't hot enough. Around the edges the food was even a bit cool. The men's washroom was well cared for, properly equipped & clean. In the dining area there was a small issue with house flies. This could EASILY move to a 5-star. Get rid of the flies & make the food hotter. Otherwise this was a positive dining experience. It's a do-over.

Take so long to serve the food with any explanation whatsoever? 2. After such a delay, bring only one of the four dishes that were ordered? By this time we were ready to leave but eventually got the other 3 mains and had them packed and took them back home - since our daughter had to drive back to London to be there at 6pm - which she thought would give all of us enough and more time to have a nice leisurely lunch with a reservation for 1pm ... clearly Community Restaurant had other plans Now comes the kicker... as we were heading out I told one of the servers to please tell the owner that if this is how he/she runs a business it would shut down pretty quickly - to which she replies: You're right, this has been sold and will change hands in 2 weeks Good riddance And no thanks for upsetting my daughter who wanted to make the day special for her mother

Disappointed with the home fries quantity - very few. The Chik'n Burger made from Oyster Mushroom was very good. Crunchy outside and shredded mushroom to give a chicken texture. Just too greasy for us. Again the fries very few - the plate looks empty and not filling for us. IMO not good enough value for almost $25 all in. The Chik'n and Waffles, same Chik'n as the burger good. The 3 piece (?) waffles were great. The fries still less, however there some salad as well. Good restaurant, OK service.
