Amazing Lebanese place! The food is fresh, flavourful, and the spices hit all the authentic notes. And to top it all off - the prices are surprisingly low for such high quality. Some things (like the Lebanese “toast”) are cheap even by middle eastern standards. Everything I’ve tried so far was amazing, so it’s hard to recommend anything in particular. But if I had to choose - the cauliflower is in a league of it’s own. Best I’ve had in all of North America.
It was such a gem place. Hippy style food and service. Its very conveniently located right on the corner . When you enter , Pleasant and casual atmosphere coupled with rejoicing music welcomes you. Delicious and healthier versions of comfort food is available.
From the menu, Platter is a must try as you can pick and choose your three starters/appetizers. Plenty of options for vegetarians and meat items like the lamb and kebab is super healthy and delicious at the same time.
I could not try a-lot of drinks but a unique non-alcoholic drink that is local is labenon is really good. Baklava was little hard and less sweet for a desert.
Our meal at January was so good that we were both dying to go again 2 days later. The hummous trio is excellent and the falafels are some of the best I've had. I love when I leave a meal feeling well fed but not heavy at all. Fresh healthy food.
I look forward to returning again!

Great venue! It is very nice to have an open kitchen, everything is carefully prepared. Taste of Lebanon. A great choice to taste everything. They don't rush anything and the three course meals come in order, creating a unique experience. The flavors are above average but not great🤭

This place was delightful.
Everything we ate was so flavourful, the place is bright and clean and right along Commercial Drive - excellent for people watching.
Lots of vegetarian/vegan options.
Pretty satisfying Lebanese food: we had brunch (the restaurant didn't open until 12pm on a Sunday, which seemed late)- I had the cold mezze sampler. Dips, pita, amazing hummus (very creamy and smooth), feta, olives and salad. We had lunch earlier in the week. I had a really good bean stew with pita, rice and salad. You could buy food products at the restaurant as well.
