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.

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!

Very well seasoned, packed with protein, and the bun it comes on is super soft. I swapped out the tahini for garlic sauce (highly recommend). It usually comes with fries but I swapped it out for rice instead, which was beautifully spiced and had the perfect texture. The owner/manager (lady in a pink striped button down and jeans) was so sweet and hospitable and made sure I enjoyed my food. Their menu is extensive and I really like that they have options from varying regions in North Africa and the Middle East. This is a great place to visit if you love middle eastern food but don't want to drive all the way out to Mississauga or deal with the infamous chaotic Ridgeway Plaza-Erin Mills traffic. It's a *little* pricy ($24), but the portions and flavor are worth it. I like that it came with two individually wrapped sandwiches, and the rice on the side can be paired with some meat and veggies I have at home-- so technically I can make 2-3 meals out of this order.

We tried the Saturday lunch buffet (3-5pm) for $25 per person, and it was a fantastic deal. The…read morebuffet offered a generous spread of Middle Eastern dishes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. There were 16 different dips, fresh salads, rice, stews, lamb shanks, chicken and beef options, plus a warm soup to start. Everything was flavourful and well-prepared; a great way to sample a variety of dishes. The interior is cozy and decorated with beautiful Middle Eastern artisan touches, giving the restaurant a cozy and warm feel. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed and homey atmosphere.

A few things to note. Went for the buffet on a few occasions, which was subpar for the following…read morereasons: overcrowded, long line ups, food not topped up and some dishes tasting bland and making reservations in advance led to us finding out that we weren't placed on the list despite calling in to confirm.. For a large table, that's frustrating. Nevertheless, with a bit of a wait, we got that sorted though it seemed to upset other hostile customers. The space is quite large and can accommodate groups if and when the area is not crowded. The problem is they don't cap the restaurant when it's at capacity. Decor is lovely, showcasing Arab traditions, which is a nice touch. Sometimes you get really good service, other times it needs work. Buffets require topping up, especially when expecting large crowds. It's not okay to keep accepting customers and then run out of food and have nothing to offer them. I've seen this happen and I felt discomfort for all parties; the patrons who came and left with hungry bellies and the staff who were embarrassed by this outcome. On two occassions I remember really well, the lineup was extraordinarily long and people were behaving in unusual ways; fighting over lineups, butting in, piling their plates high and leaving a lot untouched or not eaten and wasting food, not accounting for others and acting like it was their last meal. It was a literal zoo. By the time we made it to the chafing dishes, many were out. We tried some foods and found that some lacked flavour and taste and were missing the ingredients needed for the dish. Fettuccine was one of them. Food was average. A small number of dishes stood out. Freekeh was pretty good. I liked the butter chicken, though others did not. One person from our table liked the kusa and mansaf meat. I also enjoyed the mansaf but didn't manage to get any meat. We liked the hummus and mutabbal. I enjoyed the fatteh, it was a bit different from how my mama makes it. There was no dessert, coffee or tea offered. Shisha could only be had outside on the patio and during very specific times. Even if you wanted that, the space was too tight and would knock it over and likely cause a fire. Then a stampede would break out and good luck not getting trampled on..

Also anyone pulling into the parking lot is sure to blind you with their headlights so maybe best to pick a seat away from the windows. We ordered the Adonis entrée, the Chicken Shawarma entrée, Lamb Souvlaki entrée, a Shish Kafta entrée and a few Lentil soups. All of the entrees came with the same Rice, Potatoes and Greek Salad. The Lamb was cooked well, and for $30+ it better be. Chicken Souvlaki was drenched in sauce so of course it tasted good. The Kafta was AWFUL. So dry and bland. Every bite was making my mouth dry. What a bummer. The Lentil soup was ok but I feel like it didn't taste as authentic as other places I have been. It could have used more spices. The potatoes that came with the meals were just ok. They didn't taste good or bad. However the rice that came with the meals was bland and tasteless. No saffron or anything. Literally around the corner from this place is a restaurant called Sidra and it serves waaaaaaay better Shawarma, Lentil Soup, Kafta (tikka), and their meals come with amazingly flavorful rice and garlic potatoes. With such a better place nearby I don't know why you would come here instead.

Adonis is definitely a hidden jewel here in Oakville. Tucked away in a strip mall in a residential…read moreneighborhood, Adonis is definitely tough to find unless you are looking for it. Adonis is by far my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in town; much better than Monfort and Agabi in my opinion. Usually I come here for one thing, and one thing only; the Adonis Schwarma on a pita. It is quite similar to the Monfort Chicken on a Pita served at Monfort, but with one brilliant addition - BACON. You get seasoned chicken breast, pineapple, garlic sauce, your choice of a wholewheat or white pita, and the option to have it prepared spicy, plus BACON. Delicious! Additionally, the portion size is larger than at Monfort's, and I prefer the taste of the garlic sauce at Adonis. The service at Adonis is super friendly. You can tell that it is family owned and operated as it is the same staff working whenever I visit. You also know it is good service if every time you leave walking away thinking that the waitress is flirting with you. Me and my friends all feel this way, which is a good way to leave a restaurant. If anything, it does take a while to prepare your order, so I usually call ahead and take it to go. Overall, I highly recommend Adonis. It loses one star for the wait times, but it is certainly one of Oakville's best hidden jewels!

It looked like a mini event space! Our party of two visited for the first time on a week night, and so it was pretty quiet. Just a few other tables around. We were greeted warmly and seated at a large table for four. They were well-staffed this evening. Someone was cleaning the windows and dusting the decorations -- which was odd for operating hours, but not unexpected for a small business. The food was beautiful! Displayed dramatically with flair and fun. The flavours were great. The mixed grilled platter (for 2) was unlike any other restaurant I've tried -- each meat had it's own unique seasoning and flavour. It is a little smaller than other restaurant's grilled platter. We had to have other appetizers to be full. But we were pleased and would definitely return to try more from their menu!
