   Not much of Veg options and didn’t really get satisfied with the food we ordered just like 3 or 4 dishes but alright. Good date cake dessert.

   The place is beautiful and elegant. We were a little disappointed in the food, the chicken shawarma was a bit dry. The service, while very friendly and courteous, was quite slow

   Nice ambience but the food needs a lot of improvement. All the stuff we ordered had no taste. Been to a bunch of middle eastern reataurants worldwide and this certainly is not high on the list for food quality and taste. Service was very good though. Staff cordial and pleasant.

    The food is excellent. Let's start with that. The kitchen is able to recreate a pastiche of food from the middle east. The wait staff (primarily female and very young ) are wearing short, tight dresses. I have no objection to short or tight dresses. The question is, do they have a choice? And are there ramifications if they chose to opt-out of wearing the uniform? Can they opt to wear pants? A sweater? The choice to put the wait staff in these clothes feels like a gimmick. The food is too good for this. I hope that management will rethink the uniforms, embracing diverse body types, and age to reflect the wonderful diversity of food that they serve.

    I’ve been once before and had a positive experience and wanted my mom to try. We lucked out with a last min reservation, and my mom who’s old school and prefers home cooked meals loved it! She is a vegetarian btw and doesn’t really drink. We had the hummus sampler. I had the lychee drink and a mock tail for my mom (can’t remember the names) but both were delicious and presentation was immaculate.

    Our server was nice and she tried hard to get our order right but the kitchen seemed to feel differently. I asked for the falafel wrap meal but I wanted the falafel only one the plate, I didn't want the pita. She wrote it down and even came back again to confirm. Kitchen served a falafel in a pita anyway. I didn't want to waste food so I just decided to take it home like that. I ate it this morning and it wasn't great. Friend ask for rice in her meal and was served fries instead. This on top of ordering the 3 dips with pita and having to chase down someone to get the pita more than 10 minutes after the dips were dropped off. The ambience was nice and the drinks were great so go ahead and book for drinks and their dips plus hot pita. For mains, we would rather visit local Lebanese joints instead. For the prices they charge, they should be able to get food orders right.

    We had a 1:00 pm reservation for 4 people for brunch and waited about 20 minutes for our table. They said they wanted to give us a special table for our little celebration. Initially, our waitress seemed rushed to take our orders and looked at her watch which was not a good start in my opinion. Service improved and ended up being very good. One dish we ordered with our appetizers didn’t come. We were told several times it was coming but it didn’t arrive until the very end of our meal which wasn’t when we wanted it. This was the Halloumi cheese. It was extremely salty and not worth the wait. Overall, the meal was delicious. The room was filled and quite noisy for anyone with hearing issues but a very nice spot. They noted this was a birthday celebration when the reservation was made and again when we were seated but no further mention was made of this nor was anything special done so I don’t know if it was just forgotten by the time our brunch ended.

    My first time trying Lebanese food & it DEFINITELY will not be the last! From the stunning interior to the outstanding service and most importantly the delicious food, this place was worth every penny. I went with a group of four for dinner and we decided to share everything (which I highly recommend). Specifically, I recommend the four-person skewer platter, which was the highlight of our meal. Overall this restaurant is definitely worth checking out and can't wait to go back to try the brunch!

    It’s a cute resto. Definitely brighter than when it used to be La Société. The hosts were very accommodating and pleasant. Layout-wise, should have been fine except for the 2-seater tables in the middle of the aisles. It impedes foot traffic and uncomfortable for diners with people passing left and right all the time. The food was unremarkable. The flavors weren’t balanced. All I could taste was the strong lemon in the dishes. I’d recommend if you just really want to hang out with your friends, but make sure you reserve and more than two lest you end up in the 2-seaters in the aisles. However, if you are there for the food, best to try other restaurants.

    I brought my family here to celebrate my mothers birthday. Appetizers - we ordered the sampler dip, marinated olives and the makanek. Overall, the appetizers were amazing! Probably the highlight of the menu at Amal and would definitely come back for appetizers Mains - we ordered the chicken tawok, kefta kabob, Ontario lamb chops, and the chicken shawarma. The chicken tawok was very dry and had little seasoning, kefta kabob was good but no difference from anywhere else I’ve tried it, lamb chops were under seasoned, a bit of a disappointment here! The chicken shawarma was good, but many places to get juicer less expensive shawarma in the city (would not get again). Service - Our waiter was really nice to us, but was he ever in a rush to get us out. I even pulled him to the side to tell him we are celebrating a birthday and would like to go slow as we are in rush and wanted to enjoy the restaurant. Didn’t go as planned - our mains came out while we were finishing our appetizers, the table almost had no room. This appears to be common at this restaurant as this happened to two other tables and one of them were really not happy since they just sat down and ordered their food and it was all there. On the other side if you love fast service where they rush you out the door you are almost guaranteed that here! Due to the fact that we are with no breaks we didn’t get to order dessert or enjoy the show scheduled for this evening as we were in and out the door within like 48 minutes. We also ordered drinks and those were really great! I would give this restaurant a 3.7/5 mainly due tot he service and the dry and unseasoned mains. I would come back but purely for appetizers and drinks

    I wrote a note during my reservation that it's my wife's 30th birthday to make it special somehow (Add a cake slice, or something to make it extra special, nothing like that happended). Food was really good, but a long wait, and the portions were smaller than one would expect. Also, the staff is a bit junior.. can't beat Keg's
