Have been coming to Maro's for a year now. My first experience was AMAZING, with owner Maro's…read morehimself at the door ushering guests in and directing the traffic flow. 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!

We stopped by here for dessert and everything is vegan, which is fantastic!…read more I tried the Rolo Cake, which is both dairy and gluten free. It was absolutely the best gluten and dairy free cake I have ever had. It was rich and full of chocolate goodness. I haven't had caramel in years and the caramel tasted like it was real. It featured a fake rolo on top that was to die for. I can't describe how wonderful this cake was except, you have to try it. Even the frosting was amazing and normally frosting does not taste that good. The I also enjoyed the beverage called rose dream. It was made with coconut milk and rose water. It tasted delicious. It had a light rose flavour and was really nice. Would I go back? Absolutely! .

BEWARE: ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK…read more If my memory serves me well, this is the first time ever that I've given an establishment a 1 star rating ... and these are the reasons why: They were seriously understaffed in the kitchen - specially knowing that it was Mother's Day There were 4 of us and we chose to order one starter between us so that we could save our appetite for the mains The Bang Bang Broccoli took one hour to arrive... yes- ONE HOUR During this time we were told just how many cocktails would not be available because they were out of some ingredients ( and this was at 1:30pm on Mothers Day ) - but I must say they had water available and they served that at lightning speed Then 45 minutes after our appetizer arrived and after asking our server and anyone on the staff that we could speak to, one of the 4 mains arrived...which self respecting restaurant would: 1. 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

Came here on a Thursday for lunch right when they opened. There is still lots of construction on…read morelakeshore so you do need to walk from the parking lot. It took about 25 minutes for them to make my food so if you're in a hurry do let them know. I ordered the halloumi sandwich and the mama shawarma plate The halloumi sandwich was perfectly soft and chewy just like really halloumi cheese even though it's vegan and made from tofu! They had recommended I order it and I am glad I did because it didn't stand out to me initially on the menu. The condiments in the sandwich went really well as well. I do highly recommend ordering this! The mama shawarma plate will satisfy any shawarma craving, of course while being plant based. The soy curls were perfectly seasoned and tender. The lentil rice went perfectly well with the soy curls and the sauce. The salad was tasty with vegan feta cheese. I highly recommend ordering this if you are a first timer. I had also wanted to order the cauliflower bites but they mentioned it was going to take too long to make since they had to make it from fresh so I often not to since I was in a hurry. I will definitely come back and order it next time. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you can order a few dishes to share!

I was a bit skeptical of our trip to the Oakville area as to what quality of vegan cuisine we would…read morebe able to find. Luckily I have a special lady friend who is also pretty killer at finding decent locations to eat and she brought me here. This is a very cozy but elegant cafe style restaurant. Orders are placed at the counter and then brought to you. While small there is definitely attention to detail in the decor (I just love the table patterns). My recommendation is to scope out the menu before you go but in all honesty you likely can not go wrong with any of your orders. Plus the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the meals. With meals that leave you full and prices that won't break the bank if you happen to find yourself in Oakville (or live there) and want some great vegan dishes this is definitely a must visit.

Plank really shocked me…read more From food to service to ambience, everything was just right Our waitress was amazing super friendly super efficient did everything we asked. It was very quick about it. The four of us tried a bunch of dishes and all of them were pretty spot on. The cauliflower was perfectly fried crunchy and light. They.Baos more light and fluffy with great fried chicken than them with sauce. Period. Fantastic fresh salad with great veggies and dressing. Probably the only fault I could find with the pizzas were good but not great still, they were woodfired and had a very nice crust Great classic vibe Bar with funky interior right next to the lake the place was packed and a lot of people were eating outside which I would've preferred Highly recommend this place if you're near Oakville

My first time getting anything from the establishment…read more So when I heard they now have Kathi Rolls on the menu - I decided it was time to give them a try The Chicken Kathi Rolls were tasty but not true to the classic Would be great if they could give patrons the options to have the roll wrapped in a paratha as well The original Kathi comes in a paratha that is cooked till it's crisp and not limp Also in terms of the fillings, less is more - focus more on the protein and onion, chilli in the right ratio But like I said at the start, they were tasty and for $20 at least it was a healthy portion size

We had settled on the butter…read morechicken with rice and naan bread; we had decided to share this amongst the two adults and two children, as we weren't too hungry. Upon first settling into the restaurant, we noticed that the music was quite loud, and it was hard to talk to one another. The restaurant was also empty, which made us wonder if it was okay to eat at. As we were waiting for our meal, we saw other guests come, which made us feel better about our choice. The food came very quickly, which we were surprised at. We found the naan bread to be dry, lacking any type of flavour. We also were hoping for the butter chicken to have more sauce as it was a tad dry. Overall though, the food was well-prepared, and the portion sizes were large enough to fill us all up.

IRating 4.5. had heard of this place from a friend. We were…read morein the neighbourhood so we stopped in for lunch. It is bright, clean and they have a wonderful menu of ALL vegan and gf food. Everything is made in house and nothing is deep fried and no refined sugar used.....so no guilt happy eating. They have an extensive dessert display and I had the peach crumble bar which was yummy! I shared the cauliflower wings with spicy sauce and arancini with cashew "blue" cheeze. Both were tasty and satisfying. I wanted the potato soup with coconut bacon but found it slightly bland and it just tasted like coconut chunks in the soup vs "bacon" flavour(likely seasoning dissolved off in the soup). I had the warrior "taco" which was basically a lettuce wrap. It was very tasty but difficult to eat snd messy. The sun dried tomato flavour was so good. I love lettuce wraps but need to find a clever way of eating it more neatly. Hubby and friend had the chickpea burger with baked sweet potato and regular fries. We all left satisfied and happy

My favourite vegan/vegetarian restaurant so far…read more I appreciate that they use real ingredients and abstain from refined sugars... I ordered the: 1. Falafel bowl: The tzatziki sauce tasted exactly like tzatziki sauce using yogurt etc. The falafels are baked and not deep fried. Con for me was the price - $16 is steep. 2. Pumpkin cheezcake: Absolute must get. I prefer this to regular cheesecake - sweetened with maple syrup. The crust is made from dates and maybe something else. The coconut whip cream is a nice substitute for the regular whip cream. GET THIS. 3. Oat cranberry walnut cookie: Get this - end of story 4. Double chocolate sweet potatoe cookie: This was a bit odd; It was not as satisfying as the oat cranberry walnut cookie. However, I still devoured it. Service: The ladies behind the counter were very helpful, and patient with me. The kitchen seemed a bit slow, given the restaurant was only 20% full. If I'm in Hamilton, I will definitely visit again.

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. Just expecting delays for our coffee this time. Lol

Restaurant is chill around 5pm and starts to pick up around 6pm - plan your visit accordingly! :)

Last night my cousin (not a raw vegan) and I dined there. She enjoyed this beet juice and loved it so much that took two more juices home. I enjoyed their turmeric latte and fresh ginger/lemon teas. My cousin and I shared their falafel and cauliflower wraps and loved it. My cousin truly enjoyed their miso soup. I took a platter of all their desserts to share with my family tonight at my cousins birthday. I also took their two breads and kale chips home and am enjoying them. If you are a raw vegan you don't need any convincing. If you are not and have a lot of misconceptions about how raw vegan food looks like or tastes like I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed.
