By Far the best Lebanese food in Edmonton. Prices are very good and the portions are huge, I have never left hungry. Love the beef shawarma and I always leave with a few extra Manakeesh. You’ve got to try the Cheese with Zaatar Manakeesh. Unreal!
Excellent food just like what you would expect in paramount Toronto. Highly recommend this place. Only negative was, it is way up north in north Edmonton. We travelled from Calgary just to try it. There should be a branch in Calgary too.Note: price is 20-30% more than paramount in Toronto, mainly because of high labour rates in Alberta.
We walked in and abruptly walked out. It’s a shame because we always enjoy trying other ethnic foods. But the place doesn’t even serve alcohol!? I don’t know how you can survive in this day in age and not even offer a glass of wine with dinner. It’s going to cost them a lot of business in my opinion.
Totally recommend this restaurant to my friends. It’s one of the best lebanese restaurant .The fresh bread, the tasty salad , the meats .. everything is perfect. You can rarely find a restaurant that is clean and tasty at the same time. I would go every week there and wouldnt get bored from eating the same foods over and over again.Plus the staff are really friendly they welcome you at the foor and take care of ypu as if it was there own place. They are always around to make sure you have everything you need . big big like
We just tried this place. I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews but then figured half the time people just use this as a forum for being bitter. This place was hands down amazing. People say the service was bad, I honestly don’t know the last time I had such attentive staff serve me, especially when I’ve already paid and their activity no longer establishes the forthcoming tip. The food was super delicious and everything was very fresh. The decor set this place apart from any other middle eastern restaurant I’ve ever been to, reminded me of an earls, very clean and open kitchen concept. My only beef is that they don’t have booze, mostly cause I am a bit of a drunk but I can appreciate that it’s not a part of the culture and can always grab a pint after dinner somewhere else. Do yourself a favour and check this place out, don’t listen to the haters.
We love to venture out to all the halal places in town so we were excited to try this new place. But disappointed doesn’t even begin to explain how we felt. I don’t understand how this place has 3.0 stars on here. And 4.5 on Google Reviews.When you first walk in, there was a greeter who was more than happy to welcome us and we had a good first impression. The place was beautiful to look at and the greeter told us how everything worked there. But, none of the previously used tables were cleaned up. The table we sat next to had leftovers and was dirty – it wasn’t cleaned even after we left. We understood that maybe there’s a staffing issue, but it’s kind of disheartening to sit next to a dirty table.The glasses were all stained to a point where we asked the server to take it away because we didn’t feel comfortable drinking out of them. We ordered food from a lady who clearly hated her job. She was young, didn’t smile, didn’t care enough to ask how we were – took the order and moved on. The food came in a weird order, some were served real fast while I was sitting there waiting for awhile before it came.The food was AWFUL. Apart from the bread, everything was bad. The Hummus was too sour. The Shawarma chicken had absolutely no flavour, I barely took a bite and couldn’t eat – sadly, we were still charged for it. The presentation of the food sucked, the salad was old and limp, the pickles were dry, and the lettuce was dirty. The Shish tawook was mildly okay, it was a little burnt so all you tasted was smoke – but it was moist and nice. Apart from that, the Arayees was okay – the meat tasted okay but it was fried in SO much oil and it was dripping everywhere.We had real high hopes for this joint but if you’re into real Lebanese/Arab food – this place isn’t for you. You’re better off going to Al-Salam Pita, Persia Palace, Sahara or Kebab Express. Basically, most Arab restaurants are unreal – this one was just a fail.Giving this a 1 star because you can’t give a 0 or 0.5.
Love this place and excited to hear they are opening locations in the south and west. The food was excellent. Amazing hot pitas. Very clean and modern. They even have a prayer room for Muslim people to pray which I thought was nice.
