La Luna Downtown in Hamilton

I love this place. We drive from Brantford for it as often as possible. The best garlic sauce, tahina and tawook. I love the mushrooms, cauliflower and kebabs. Marie Claire is the best server. She always remembers my order. Love this place so much. Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible

Great value. The platter for 2 served three. Service was a bit slow as they seemed understaffed but very pleasant

The food was absolutely disgusting. I had the rice shawarma and rice beef. it literally made me sick afterwards. Do not spend your hard earned money for food that will make you sick.

Best food I ve had in Hamilton

Good portions sizes, quality of food is top notch. Our server was nothing more than excellent.

Shish Tawook Shawarma....golden Got it to go, it was quick...and super tasty...I recommend that you try it Food

Incredibly delicious food, served up in generous portions. I was visiting in the Hamilton area and found the food so tasty, that I ate here three times in a week; twice for lunch, once for dinner. First visit: lunch: had the vegetarian dish/platter of hummos, eggplant, falafel, fried cauliflower, grilled tomatoes, and mushrooms, served with your choice of soup or any of the salads on the menu and dinner plate sized fresh pitas. I had the Greek salad, which was excellent and, again, a generous portion. This meal could easily have been shared with two people, especially for lunch. My lunch mate took half of her meal home and I took my left over hummos (at least a half a cup) and pita for an afternoon snack later. Second visit: dinner with a group of six: I started with lentil soup, then had the spicy lemon shrimp with pilaf style rice and served with pita bread. We shared the salads that came as starters; all were delicious: Greek, Fatoush, and Tabouli. Third visit: spicy lemon shrimp, but substituted hummos for the rice. Again, generous portion with at least two dozen shrimp. Nothing chintzy about this place. The service could be a little more attentive, especially for the second dinner, which was at around 3:30 p.m. and, as is often the case when a restaurant is almost empty, was not hurried by any means. I had told the waitress I was in a hurry, but that didnt seem to help. Had to track her down to make my order and then my bill never came, so I went to the counter to pay. The service was better during the busy lunch and dinner hour visits. Still the food is so worth it, that I would go here anytime Im back in the area and would recommend it to anyone.

If you crave a meal made the right way then this is the place for you.

I have been a customer of la Luna since it was called the Chic / Al Pacinos pizza in 1986 when I first came to Hamilton. This restaurant has undergone many changes since then and I cant say that all of them are good. This new location no longer serves alcohol and although that was not an issue with my visit it certainly seems to detract from its appeal as a dining option. If food I ordered was prepared quickly however it did not meet my expectations based on past experiences with la Luna. In general the food lacked flavor and the care that it seemed to have in the past.

The Best Lebanese food I have ever had, been go8ng there for 40 years

Very nice staff, food is okay but not as authentic as it seems, good prices and good service.

Vegetarian options: Many options Food

I cant recommend this place. The shish tawook sandwich (wrap) was not tasty at all. Would rather get burger king.

Just had dinner recently at this place. Ordered the La Luna mix grill. Service was ok. Salad was ok. Lots of food but meat was burnt.

Best falafel in town.

Always a favorite choice when enjoying a family dinner out of the house. Highly recommend the platter option, and the fattoush salad is the best Ive had.

Great atmosphere, amazing staff!

Food was amazing. We had hummus, beef and rice, the shish tawouk sandwich and baklava. All were delicious. Service was great too!

We went many times, and food is very good. LA Lunas platter is my favorite, shawrma plate nr2.Salads are awesome .

I love the food here. It s very fresh. Everything is hand made and delicious. The staff were very nice and welcoming. Kid-friendliness: There s really nothing to say about. They were just pretty nice to me.

Got takeout from this place, food is amazing, atmosphere of the restaurant is great. Recommended.

Wow there chicken is out of this world

great food

The fattoush and the chicken sandwich were so good I came with a few friends and I m definitely coming back

Love this place we go least twice a month, amazing food and service.

Amazing Mediterranean cuisine, we had the la luna platter, chicken shawarma and beef rice.Felt beef rice would have been more tastier if served with any gravy on side.The quality and quantity of platter and shawarma was great.Friendly and amazing customer service. Parking space is congested since it in the downtown area.

I think La Luna was the first Lebanese restaurant I ever ate at, more years ago than I want to count. I was in town for an appointment and took my teen there and it is still fantastic. We had the lunch special and the wrap and salad were a generous portion and delicious. The baklava was tasty and 1 order was plenty to share for 2 people. Highly recommend!

Food is still great, but I feel theyve lost a step overall of late.

Great food, and the portions are large. The combination platter & salad fed two people, comfortably with food left over. Delicious hummus, great falafel, excellent beef and mushrooms. Well worth a visit.

Favorite dish is the tomato and cauliflower. I can eat it on its own with pita. so good.

Its good halal food place in Hamilton. Services are really quick. Meat was so tender and juicy.

Place has really taken a nose dive food quality is horrible compared to the premium you pay, but the real issue I had was hummus gone bad. It smelt so bad ans when I drove back to show it to them they just offered to replace it. I made a 70$ order and tall they wanted to do was replace the hummus, they didnt offer anythin else to make up for their mistake, I left the hummus and walked out I rather give a bad review because they dont have any appreciation for their customers, never ever ordering from here again.

This is the best La Luna of all the locations

Best Middle Eastern Resturant in hamilton !!

Pretty much my favourite restaurant. *2023 EDIT - please fix your website. Marquee image slider for top of page disrupts entire website every 5 seconds.

Had the falafel wrap after hearing a lot of good things about this place probably the best falafel wrap I ve ever had! I ll be back to try more things.

Wonderful people, great food, though it is westernized a bit. I take my mum there frequently as she loves it also.

Love that tomato appetizer.

It is a highly recommended place where you can eat an excellent meal with a amazing service.

Their Baklava is pretty good. The 1 serving portion is perfect for 2 people. If you go here, definitely try it out.

Genuinely disappointing and upsetting hospitality experience. Food wasn t terrible but overall on the lower end of middle eastern cuisine that I have had. Service was really bad. Barely got checked on, had to constantly waive down and get the attention of a server to get things like water refills and plates taken off for space. Icing on the cake was that the server told me having a small taste of the baclava was free before getting me the bill. Normally I wouldn t have minded leaving a small tip even with the poor service, but because of my financial spot, I decided it wasn t worth it just for the sake of it. When the server noticed this, he came back just to charge me 1.50 for the one bite of baclava he told me was free. I have worked as a server in some of the busiest restaurants in the country and this was by far one of the pettiest and disrespectful moves a server has made. Tips are not mandatory and the entitled behaviour on top of weak service I saw today, turned a customer who possibly might ve come back for the food, into someone who will actively tell others to spend your money and time elsewhere.

Really, and I do mean really bad, its no different then going to a grocery store and buying chicken, Chicken wrap was $14.50c tasted bland, sauces were ok but honestly for the price never coming back awful, for the price you pay you can get so much more

I love this restaurant. A great environment to gather with friends and family. The Chicken shawarma and Greek salad are so delicious that I order each time. The staff are very nice.

The orginal. Still excellent. Food

Its a 5-minute walk from my house to this restaurant. Ive lived in this area for a few years now and only recently tried La Luna. I wish I had tried it before! The food is of good quality and very affordable. The impression that I had was that the place was way more expensive. The staff are friendly. They take their time to get your order but the food preparation is quick. I would come back.

We went there me and my parents for quick lunch, the food was great especially falafel and the gentleman there brought fresh falafel to teste it. was amazing

We were the latest customers and didnt realize theyd closed and let us stay while they shut down. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food, even being the last meals of the night, was delicious. The menu looks pricey, but the portions are large.

We had lunch on Monday April 24, 2023 at La Luna Lebanese restaurant. Service staff is friendly and food is delicious. We had Falafel and Chicken Shawarma.

So myself and my service dog had to lock ourselves inside the lobby of this restaurant as we had been nearly assaulted by two persons who were clearly not sound of mind. LaLuna was very professional and courteous while still operating under the circumstances which were beyond anyones immediate control. Thank You LaLuna

First time dining here and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the Lentil Soup

Fantastic salad and falafel sandwich. Definitely will eat here again. 2: Ive been here a few times now. Sandwiches and fattoush still good Food

Easily my favorite place for salad and hummus... there vegetarian dish is amazinggg

Best Arabic & Mediterranean in the neighborhood. Felafel and Lentil soup are the testing trials which were superior in flavor and prep. So I suggest to give it a try. Recommend to book first.

I had my lunch to go today and now I m feeling sick and have stomachache after 30 minutes. I doubt the cleanliness of the food and the place. Was about to order salad but thanks god I didn t maybe now I m in the emergency First and last time for.

Delicious food and great prices. The waiter is super friendly. Great service

Didnt get what I ordered. Should have checked because I live too far away to take back. What we got was terrible. Used to be really great, has gone downhill for sure. Wont go back.

Summary: great Lebanese food overall (except for the spicy potatoes) Ive been to this place 3 times now! Its actually a great place. I highly recommend the combination platter, the shish tawwouk platter, the hommos, the tabbouleh (pictured), the califlower plate (pictured), but my favorite was definitely the FALAFEL. Their portions are very generous and the service is great. However, the place is obviously understaffed which makes your total time there a lot longer than it should be. I dont necessarily recommend the kafta with tahini sauce platter (pictured) or the spicy potatoes.

The portions are very generous and tasty. I had lentil soup and the sampler, which came with 3 skewer sticks, rice, hummus, pita bread and grilled veggies.

Just love it!

Good food

We were so lucky to have a great middle eastern dinner at La Luna downtown restaurant on the 306 King St., Hamilton, Canada. We were a party of four people coming from Washington DC. We had most delicious Lebanese food started with lentil soup and Fattoush Salad. The main course were Combination Platter, Shawarma, and great Vegetarian Dish. The amount of food was a lot more than other Meddle Eastern restaurant usually serves (all food were Halal!). Service beyond expectation. At the end we had delicious Baklava with coffee. The manager, Ms. Mane Claire, was continuously checking on our comfort and satisfaction. Many many thanks to every one work in this restaurant, special thanks to the Manager Ms. Claire.

Have loved La Luna for twenty five years. Easily some of the best Lebanese food available and definitely the best quality fattoush Ive enjoyed from any restaurant. Vegetarian options: More than half the menu is for non meat eaters. Parking: Private parking lot Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for children, fresh preparation of childrens menu items.

Love this restaurant! Probably the best Lebanese food in Hamilton. Six of us went for lunch today and shared about 10 different dishes, and it all tasted great.

Very tasty, great authentic Lebanese. Ample portions and just all out lovely! Minor gripe that they use a bit more lemon juice than I would in their dishes. But everything is seasoned for tasteful impact. Food : 5/5

Great service and food. Always flexible.

Always great food and salads

it was disgusting went and guess what there was a bug in my water so unsanitary

Best Fatoush salad ever!

Such amazing food!!

Great night, yummy food Our server was Marie Clair She s the queen of the night!! Runs like a star taking care of all tables, making sure all customers are happy and enjoying their food Kudos to MarieClaire!!!!

We had a variety plater to taste as much as possible. Tabouli and baba ghanoush was the best I ever had. Amazing true homemade authentic flavours! Even the baklava is made in house.

Portions were good at a pretty decent price and tasted nice.

First time dining here and the food was authentic and excellent. Highly recommend the Lentil Soup, La Luna platter, Tabbouli and Kibbi. The roasted veggies and hummus were amazing. Coffee and baklavas were the icing on the cake . The hostess customer service was a ten. Great spot that we ll definitely visit again when we are in the area. Keep up the great standard!

Tisha was our server she brought nothing but wonderful vibes! Beautiful smile and a beautiful person, anybody would be lucky to have as a server, and if you ever end up coming here I would recommend a falafel wrap with a side of pomegranate

Had a shish tawook. Incredibly good. The price is right too. Food

Just had a beautiful dinner with my 2 cousins , the food was delicious, the chicken shawarma sandwich was very tasty and Fatoosh was even better with the rice , will definitely come back again next time I m in Hamilton

Vegetarian options: Falafel. Hummus. Baba ghanouj. Salads. Yeah! Parking: Loads of spots on site. Park out front with meters if need be Food : 5/5 |

Real Lebanese cuisine. Loved this place since I was a student at Mac

Always reliably good food. I most recently had their chicken shawarma sandwich. It was moist and delicious within a crunchy toasted pita bread

Delicious platter!

If I had to choose a last meal, it would be the fattoush and falafel appetizer.

Amazing food and selection, nothing disappointed. Got the baba ganoush and combination platter with fattoush. Standing ovation for the rice, cauliflower and beef. Was enough for 3 hungry growing young adults. Spacious restaurant, honest service, family vibes. Only constructive comment I can make is on the flourescent lighting. cant wait to go back :)

The food is succulent & savory tasting g & always fresh & I urge you all to & go & try the evidence selection of gourmet goods thst they make from search which is eith all fresh ingredients!

Been eating here for decades. Always amazing food.

Amazing Mediterranean cuisine and terrific staff. Would Highly recommend!

Excellent Halal food. Generous meat portions and extremely friendly service. Will definitely visit again.

Really great kebabs

Great value for the price. Courteous staff, great service.

The food was absolutely delicious. Was hot and ready to eat. Awesome lentil soup. Everything was perfect. Will definately order again. Thankyou for the delicious meal! Enough for tomorrow too!

good place,perfect service and delicious fresh food. the staff have great customer service skills. I really recommend

Great service and the chicken shawarma sandwich was really amazing. Warning - my friends ordered the dinner plates on the menu and they are enormous.

Amazing food. Just like moms. Visit again for sure!

Chicken shawarma was ok, didnt like the kafta shawarma at all, both shawarmas were snack size and also had too much parsley in. Ordered a potato dish and potatoes were under cooked. Thoroughly disappointed especially with the high reviews.

If you want to have the middle east mixed The Mediterranean Cuisine , THATS the place to Go into Hamilton, ON. LOVELY food and authentic cuisine field with the love of chef , Add on at the end pure fresh Baklawa made in the house . Its the best treat for yourself and your beloved family.

Yummy since the 90s

Highly recommended!! Amazing tasty food with big portions, so generous (ordered the La luna platter, couldnt stop eating and took half of it with me in a box) staff so friendly and kind! Amazing ambiance. Will definetly come back.

The food was delicious, I loved the salad as well, I ll go back for sure

Very helpful staff! Great place and ambiance! Delicious food. Went with family and tried a whole bunch of things and they were all good. Parking maybe tricky.

This restaurant didnt sent 1/3 of our order and got one of the items completely wrong. We are getting our money back, but I would like you to realize that you sour an evening by providing poor service and ruining peoples dinner. Since there are multiple locations to go instead of this one, we have no reason to reorder at this location. I also tried calling multiple times and no on answers the phone.

+ Food was great. + Reasonable prices. + Friendly service. - Not licenced. - One server handles takeout orders, serves tables. Phone rings endlessly because shes so busy running the whole restaurant. Annoying after 45 minutes. - No credit cards. Cash or debit, if the debit machine is working.

Food was excellent, atmosphere was cold and could use some work. Service was good and the takeout never stopped the whole time we were there. Will return for take out

Excellent salad and sandwich lunch. Beef shawarma and/or falafel + tabooli etc. Go to since 87..

Open at 2pm on a Saturday. Like this is a joke.

Great experience. Food and service were top notch. We enjoyed the mazza meal for two.

This was one of the few places open on Victoria day. We were pleasantly surprised with the good quality Arabic food we got here. Coming from Dubai, so far Toronto has been disappointing with Arabic cuisine. However, Khaboos was not as fresh as one would have liked it to be and the crispy potatoes were just dunked in some sort of bland tomato gravy. Otherwise all the other items were good

We loved this place. We had a late lunch and everything was delicious. The best and most fresh falafel we ever had, delicious shish tawouk sandwiches, and great salad. The service was top notch with the friendliest waiter. We will make the trip back to Hamilton solely to visit this restaurant!

Ive been coming here for many years now and the food quality never changes. Try the fatoush salad you wont regret it.

Really reasonably priced and the food is always delicious. We ordered the family feast and it was exactly that. The salads were great, meat was perfectly seasoned, and the veggies were perfect. Sadly, they dont have a liquor license so you cant enjoy wine with your dinner (and this food is screaming for a glass of red wine), but still a great place to eat. Dietary restrictions: All food is Halal.

waiter was extremely nice, the place was clean. food was expensive and wasnt that tasty. had the shawarma wrap and felt it was dry. my friend had the rice option with 1 skewer for 20 dollars. (naan kabob gives you 2-3 skewers for the same price with salad and a naan). main issue for me was the rice was bland, but the chicken was good (not amazing, just okay). they justify those prices for being a healthier option cuz they do make everything from scratch . Dietary restrictions: halal and vegetarian food available Parking: limited parking avaliable

The food was delicious. We ordered shawarma plate. Fresh taste, a plate is for 2-3 people. The dish is served with salad on your choice. Recommend

Delicious and fresh food

Great Food With generous portions. In addition to the great hospitality.

Service was quick and personable and the food is always top quality and flavourful in addition to being healthy

The food and service is always 10/10 here but their taboule salad is to DIE for. There are so many occasions I visit JUST to order their taboule salad and nothing else. Theres been times that they dont have any taboule left but they are kind enough to always make more. Other places dont always do that and will just turn you away, but not La Luna. The portion sizes here are generous too and great value. Its super convenient that La Luna has a parking lot and theres always space.

The restaurant is clean and beautiful. The service was lovely and the food is as good as it always has been. A delightful surprise.

We ve been coming here for a while and they always have the same quality of food. My favourite is the BBQ Chicken sandwich, its always on point.

The beef was amazing and tasty Not your typical shawarma take out Definitely will be coming back again!

Nothing special

Experience ruined due to poor service. Sat Aug 27 around 6pm. The female server was extremely rude with a poor attitude. Kept insulting us. Then I asked the guy that we dont want to deal with her so he helped us out. He was very professional. The opposite of the girl server.

We love coming here for the food, as it was amazing last time, and have been craving it ever since.

The aps and mains all tasted amazing. Amazing food with great portions & friendly staff, will be returning for sure!

Vegetarian options: I am vegetarian and the falafel is out of this world. And Id you are lucky to try some of the freshly made baklava then dont leave without it.

We have always loved LaLuna for the good food, and service, great prices and atmosphere. However, things have changed. The prices have skyrocketed example $30.95 for a Shish kabob plate. The cost for 4 people was shocking. The night we were there, there was no air conditioning. No Manakeesh!!! It costs too much money to turn on the oven. The Pandemic has changed the place and I dont think well be back.

Delicious food

The food is succulent, scrupous savory & incredibly delicious tasting & always fresh & somewhat spicy just the way I just love it! Kind Regards, Danica

I ve been coming here since I was a little kid and the food is always incredible. But it seems like recently they ve changed their hummus and kibbeh recipes. Which were always the best. Hummus tastes less garlicky/flavourful as it has in the past

Terrible customer service and attention to detail. I placed an order today though skip for the combo platter and I received a chicken shawarma warp. Skip directed me to call the store BUT THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. If you want to eat la Luna go to the Concession st. Location much better service

Best sandwich in the city! Easily! Top of the list shish tawook and beef shawarma are unriveled for 100km. The rest of the menu is also a step up from any other Lebanese menu in Hamilton and Burlington.

Never answers their phone even though they are open. We have a reservation for a large group and need to change the date but they never answer when you call them. Taking business elsewhere.

Large serving portions, friendly staff

Best shawarma in town

Good Food and wonderful service( really friendly )

Nice food and generous

I just got take out. A couple of la Luna platters. A little expensive but turned out to be a lot of very tasty food. Three of us ate it and there was still a lot left over. At least a dinner for two left.

Mediocre at best, the service was authentically middle eastern, we waited for a while just to get the menu, another 15 to order, and about 45 minutes for food. The waitress came by 3 times to bring water take order and cash out. Food was so so. All and all $130 for 4 people without alcohol ( not sure if they serve )

Picked up a call in order, food was delicious and the service was great as well!

Picked up take out. Food was fantastic.

When 15% tips not enough and your waiter gives you back the tip because he was insulated. First of all you were told to keep the change from a 100$ on 92$ bill then I was getting you another $10 in cash from my wallet when the waiter came back over o I heard him say to my dad was the service not good enough? My dad was caught off guard and the waiter slammed the tip on the table. My dad paid for the meal and I was going to add to the tip so he would have been tipped 18$ on a 92$ bill 20%!!!! My dad has been going here for YEARS! Hes always had a good time loves this place but after this experience with this waiter I hope he never goes back. I know I wont be.

Service, ambience, great hospitality and fantastic food were oozing out of this place! Was visiting a mate and he recommended this place, and without disappointment it kept its name. Eggplant dip, hummus, cauliflower curry, sautéed mushroom were some of the highlight dish. We ordered the two for , but it fed three grown adults (moderately large dudes). The hostess was very kind, proper arab hospitality!

Overall I would my rating 3.5/5 because, I am only rating based on my one take-out meal I ordered from this location. I ended up ordering the BBQ chicken sandwich, which came with a side of fries. I have tried this sandwich at a different location and thought, if I ordered the same at this location it would taste similar, but I was wrong, it just tasted average to me although it was made from a real chicken breast which is a plus. I believe if I go back to this establishment and order a different item off their menu, I will probably have a better food experience.

This place is a real gem. The food is very delicious, super sweet and kind server lady, nice atmosphere. Highly recommended, will be back when visiting Hamilton next time. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan friendly Dietary restrictions: Vegetarians, vegans and omnivores are all welcome Parking: 2 hrs free during the holiday season or free in the lot next to the restaurant building

Really bad food. I ordered a simple chicken and rice with hot sauce and it was just horrible. The rice was mushy, the vegetables were still frozen. They did not put any shawarma or garlic sauce on it. I had asked for extra hot sauce but it was practically soup but sticky? I had two bites and had to toss it. Very disappointed.

Their sign says open till 9 and we have been here few times around 8-8:25pm ,I have asked to change their timings but nothing has changed. This pic is with time stamp for consideration

Ordered in via Uber eats. The food was bland and at best average . I couldn t believe I paid what I paid for that amount. The chicken and beef quantity was scare and rice soggy with more mushrooms and tomato sauce than necessary. In short : overpriced menu with less than average food. Wasted my money here.

Been going to La Luna for years, love their beef shawarmas, falafels, fatoush salads. I have enjoyed everything I have tried there. Location is in an up and coming area of Hamilton downtown core. With all the development at this corner, this restaurant is a Goldmine. My biggest worry is they get bought out by developers. Will be very sad if they are gone.

Staff is friendly and food is great. Value for the meal is good but still a little on the pricy side for lunch. Have visited twice in 2 months and will visit again

Very welcoming! Superb service and bountiful menu. Arrive hungry and enjoy the Middle Eastern flavours!!

The BEST Service

Consistently delicious. A Hamilton favourite.

Food was okay.

Highly recommended! We had: Babaganouche, Pea Soup, Combination Platter and Curry Chicken ( dangerously good!!!). Delicious food, friendly, excellent service, and prices are little high, but all in all a great combination.

Food is amazing great place for lunch. Very reasonable pleasant staff but at times it seems like they are understaffed. Parking is definitely interesting..lol But definitely worth it five stars for sure
