    We went there for my mom's birthday. The food was alright, but there should most definitely be warning about the grilled pepper that is used as a garnish for the entrees. No warning was provided as to the spice level of the pepper, and my mom was left with a burning mouth and ringing in her hears for about 30 minutes. When it was brought up with the waitress, she said something along the lines of "oh yeah, I should have told you", which is unacceptable.

    Amazing food, service and ambience! The restaurant is very well situated and we couldn't hear much noise from the busy Bay street. They sat us outside in the patio space which was fantastic and the server did a terrific job making awesome food and drinks suggestions and made the experience super pleasant. We will definitely return and recommend Amal to all our friends!

    The food and service were excellent. The noise level, once it got really busy made conversation a bit of a problem. But I will definitely go back again. Great choices for plant based eaters.

    A beautiful establishment in the Colonnade with a view of Bloor St. A beautiful and gracious staff and wonderful service. Absolutely some of the best Lebanese food I have ever eaten. It is certainly going to be my new "go to" restaurant and I look forward to sampling everything on the menu over time! Outstanding baba ganoush and shakshuka with eggs!!!!

    The service experience was amazing! The place and the ambience is excellent, very beautiful. In terms of food, i didn't find it tasty. We've tried similar foods some other restaurant and the taste is much better than Amal. And paying for that price, I would rather go to Paramount or Naan Kabob with half the price I paid at Amal or even cheaper. But in fairness, overall experience is not bad at all. Maybe one day we could visit again, you never know as the place is really beautiful.

    The ambiance and the decor was on point. The food and presentation was also great. We had a 5pm reservation which turned out great because it gets louder and louder as it gets busier. Our server did a great job. The only surprising thing is that there was quite a long wait between courses and the restaurant was pretty much empty as our reservation was empty. I would still recommend if you are in the mood for middle eastern experience.

    Drinks were tasty. The light was flickering. It was unnecessarily loud. The food was okay, not the best. The decor and design was nice and on theme. Didnt hate it, just underwhelming.

    This was the third time I have been to Amal and the previous two times have been great. This time I felt like I was at a totally different restaurant. We waited half an hour for someone to even come to our table and when she did it was like she had never served a table before. She knew nothing about the menu, the wine we ordered was unavailable and she had no recommendations on any other wine (nor was there a sommelier available when I asked for one). The service was the worst I have ever experienced. I had to ask for the manager before it improved. Some our our chicken was undercooked and when I showed it to her she just said “I will tell the chef”. It still appeared on our bill despite the fact that we couldn’t eat it. This was a celebration for my daughters birthday and she even managed to bring the cake and put it at the table with the candles when she had gone to the bathroom! All and all a disappointing dining experience
