Maro's in Oakville

You get a lot of DELICIOUS food for your money. I took my wife here when for our very first date 3 years ago, just went back 2 weeks ago and it was just as good as we remember. Highly recommend!

Fantastic upscale Lebanese. Everything was tasty. Great potions. Easy to family-style your meal and try a bunch of different meals. Super friendly staff. Parking: Parking in the back is jammed if the neighbourhood is busy. Plan to walk a little.

Excellent service! Everyone is so soooo friendly and nice, today Carlos assisted me with such warmth and gave me great recommendations. Im vegan, and he took the time to explain everything in detail and offer me delicious options. The food was amazing, and its definitely a place Ill return to. I highly recommend it! Thank you for a great experience!

Its my second visit. Portions are generous and the cauliflower (Bella and the Beast) is to die for. The restaurant is divided in two...I prefer the seating on the right side. The patio is nice when open.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, the service was great! Its just a little loud. Parking at back or right in front of restaurant.

lil expensive, meals will leave you satisfied. The store has a cute decor and plating.

Classy place with a friendly cozy atmosphere & ambience. The music, the lighting, the artwork were all unique. Their usage of local whole foods was tasteful and their proportions/value for their food was generous. I enjoyed a vegan meal. God bless. Thank you.

Good food. Portions are really big especially for salads but they don t tell you when you re ordering that it might be too much. There were 4 of us and we ordered 4 salads plus other dishes. We could have just gotten 1 salad to share and that would have been more than enough. Rest went to waste which is a shame. Not sure if this is their normal practice or was just the server we got.

I am blown away by the wholesome, nutritious and beautiful plates me and my family were served. Not only that, we were warmly welcomed and served. SainSha, our hostess was kind and warm and made us feel right at home! The food came promptly and it tasted amazing. I hardly ever try new places for fear of having a bad experience in food or service, but this experience brought my hopes back up. Looking forward to bringing my family there again. Thank you!

I ordered some dishes for take out and had a Turkish coffee while I waited. I was so pleased with the service I received and wait staff were so friendly and polite. While I was waiting I enjoyed the most delicious Turkish coffee that was absolutly wonderful!!!! When I got my food I was surprised with the weight of it. So much food and soooo delicious. Now when I go to Oakville, this will be my go to spot.

I cant say the food was bad taste-wise because it wasnt, I was just expecting something different. I came here expecting more authentic middle eastern flavors and didnt get that. For the area its in I totally get it and wouldnt not recommend people give it a try if theyre looking for more fusion style dishes.

Group of nine girls visited Marios last night. We needed help deciding what to order for the whole table and our server Sofia was great telling us how many dishes we need and giving us advice on the menu. Drinks were excellent, service was very good and all food delicious. We will be back.

First time at Maro s - very welcoming staff (Mo was amazing), casual atmosphere, delicious food. Definitely recommend!

I have been going to Maros for years. I used to love coming to Maros. Not only have they increased the prices, but the quality of the food has gone downhill too. Please clean and fix the washroom. This is not acceptable. One of the girls service is really bad. We have had multiple times she has been rude or telling us not to order certain food that have been ordered multiple times and we used to love.

Went there for the first time and definitely coming back again! Sophia and Justyna were great! Tried 3 different meat dishes and they complimented us with an amazing cauliflower dish! The atmosphere was great. Service was quick and friendly. Food was the star of the show. Everything tasted good and different, flavours were complex. 10/10 would recommend.

The food here is outstanding! I could have eaten the cauliflower all myself. Platters of food are huge, shareable. Nothing disappointed!

Have been getting takeout from here for years, its always delicious. Bella and the Beast and Lunch in Beirut are our favourites. Portions are large, we always have leftovers.

Jess was very charming and I loved her service

Beautiful atmosphere, pleasant service and delicious food. Very well put together menu and though it s a slightly higher cost per meal than the average place, I feel it s more than worth it. You can tell that care and high quality ingredients go into making the food here, which I m more than happy to pay a premium for. As someone who was raised in the restaurant industry, I have to make note of the fact that every time I come here, I see Mauro working away. That speaks volumes. It s clear his restaurant is his baby and he deeply cares about the customer experience, which always delivers, might I add.

Love the food in this place. But cleanliness standards are horrible.. went for dinner today and all their tables are unclean with a film thats left when tables cleaned with dirty cloth. Told the waiter that and he didnt even bother to clean it. Walked away and decided to eat somewhere where they take cleanliness standards to a better level . Thats disgusting.. shame..

One of my favourite restaurants in Oakville! Quality hasn t wavered at all throughout the years as well. The cauliflower dish (forget the name) and Lunch In Beirut are the go to s

Weve eaten at Maros since they opened in Oakville. It is absolutely the best Middle Eastern spot we visit. A while back while back we had an unfortunate occurrence and our meal was not to Maros standards. Last week we visited again and Ariel not only provided the best service we have ever had there, but the meal was outstanding. Thank you Ariel, the 5 star service rating is for YOU. Maro, keep doing what you do brother, the food rating is for you!!

What an amazing place. The service was impeccable. The food was great. The ambience was great! 10/10 experience. The words that come to mind are warm and inviting. Not many places offer this.

This was my fourth or fifth time and my friends first, at Maros. They never fail to disappoint. No wonder its busy on on Tuesday night. The food was amazing... especially the tandoori chicken! The service was wonderful - letting us try something before ordering and giving free croissants at the end. Ill be back!

The fish (Here comes the bride) was really great but the sandwiches were dry and is something I will not order again.

Dropped in for a quick dinner after not being there for years. Love the new decor and seating everything is bright and clean. Great vibe. Sainsha was an attentive and friendly server. And the food beautifully presented and delicious. Definitely recommend!

Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Everything perfect!

Really great service! Ordered the Babel, the beef was so flavourful. The owner even gave us a pistachio mousse on the house. Definitely recommend!

Loved the food! And our server was such a sweetheart

We LOVE the food and the customer service is excellent. The owner is always around checking in! Love this place.

good service and location i ordered chicken shawarma (on the pic) i find the meat chewy (lots of chicken skin and greasy with added vegetable oil) Overall good place. Food

Not recommended.

Awful

Terrible!

Horrible service

We just had the BEST meal we ve had in a long time. We didn t know what to order, so Jess helped us choose cocktails and entrees and the most delightful vegan dessert and WOW was it ever delish. We can t wait to go back! Vegetarian options: Lots of options! Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy free and vegan options :) Kid-friendliness: Family friendly. :)

I the best time , outstanding service . The servers were very attentive, knowledgeable, sympathetic, and cater to your needs and beyond thank you Kid-friendliness: Extremely friendly and attentive

i came here a couple of days ago and i had an amazing dinner with amazing service provided by jess i would definite be back and bring the family

Stopped by this restaurant on a whim while visiting Toronto and i have to say everything was spectacular. The service we got from Jess was warm and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. Would 110% recommend!

Ariel was an amazing server, the K-Saq new menu item was awesome as well. Really love coming here to Maros. My wife loved the wine and the mango pavlova.

We love Maro s. The food is absolutely delicious and the servers go above and beyond and are just so lovely. A big thank you to Sainsha for making our evening so memorable. We will be back soon!

I recently visited this restaurant. The food was very flavourful and best I had in a very long time. We ordered 2 dishes and I would highly recommend flatbread (Abu Leo). The only reason to give 4 star is the drinks. They are ice slushy which I don t like. They should mention that drinks are not in liquid form. It was freezing cold.

My friend and I had lunch on the patio on August 31, 2024. The food choice was excellent, the server Sofia was extremely knowledgeable and guided us well. The quality and quantity of the meal was apt for the price and atmosphere and attentiveness of the other service staff great. Will definitely visit again. Wish you had more of these up in North York. Thank you!

Maros Brunch is a delightful Lebanese spot that stands out for its delicious food and unique flavors. The service is both friendly and efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. What truly sets Maros Brunch apart is its ambiance it offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. I loved my time there and would definitely return. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and a relaxing atmosphere!

The best mixture of middle eastern cuisine with western influences. We tried kale bowl salad which was very refreshing and miami affair with spicy hot jalapeño and underground Tehran cocktail which is really good sour vodka drink.

Absolutely amazing food. Extremely fresh with just the right amount of spices familiar and exotic. Generous portions and an exceptional staff.

We love the quality of the food at Maro s! If you can find a better hummus on this planet I would be shocked. I love all the dishes but hands down the tandoori chicken is my favourite of the protein so do yourself a favour and pick a dish that you want and then add the tandoori chicken too it - you re welcome! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options!!

Great food, huge portions and well made. Great service. Cute atmosphere. Would go back.

Nothing I love more than eating too much with my family on the sidewalk patio during the summer. Great food and staff and music!

This place is awesome, highly recommend coming here to anyone thinking about it

Best food. Best service. Simply amazing! We keep coming back and are always impressed.

This place desperately needs a reality check. Ive been going to this spot in my neighbourhood since it first opened in 2016. In the beginning, it was awesome: authentic, great prices, great food, and enthusiastic service. Now its an overpriced and overhyped restaurant with consistently rude service and okay-ish food that has risen to the top of the rankings due to the absence of viable competitors in the area Agabi please come back. Time to remember your roots, Maros! PS: $23 for a 6oz glass of white wine, or $30 for a dish that used to cost $9.00 (Lunch in Beirut) is highway robbery, even for Oakville.

I will definitely recommend this place

Lovin the vibe and ofcourse the food. Maro and the crew are so awesome! Will come back for the ARAK.

The food was cold, everything over fried and too oily. So many freaking spiders hanging from the ceiling, and one of them pooped on me :))))))) gross Service was not good, not professional, couldve been better. Food

Great food, awesome service and I definitely recommend the fish

Maros Bistro was incredible! The food was delicious; full of great flavours and combinations of ingredients. The portion sizes are wonderfully large - perfect for sharing. Sainsha provided us with excellent service and great recommendations (there are so many menu options). We hope to be back very soon and would highly recommend.

I booked a late work lunch with 6 colleagues after the lunch rush. Some of my guests were not adventurous eaters, and somewhat particular. We let the waitress/manager pick what came to the table - every bite was incredible. A few of my guests drink soda, and she had gone to the store around the corner just for them! Great food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere. Everyone said they were going to bring their family back for dinner soon. We had: The haloomi/cauliflower/artichoke board lunch in Beirut (shawarma) fish jalepeño chicken beef and potato We were so full we couldnt eat desert! Thanks again for a really great lunch, and impeccable service.

Maro s is generous in providing delicious portions of food, welcoming attentive service and a bright contemporary vibe. Tucked into Oakville, there were plenty of vegan options that satisfied our palette and were quite plentiful to be shared between two people and still enough to take home. From our server s recommendations, we enjoyed the K-Saq proud mama platter which is creatively plated and as stunning as it tastes (we asked for the halloumi to be served on the side instead for the non-vegan and they were happy to accommodate but you can omit it if you are only vegan). The Zanjabeel Style flatbread was also great and stacked with Middle Eastern style veggies and spreads. We took our time and never felt rushed to close the bill. Our meal felt clean and filling. It s rare to find places where you truly feel nourished and Maro s did that in every way! When we were leaving our lovely server suggested we take a look and walk through Narenj which is by the same owner and located next door. Really looking forward to trying it next time and visiting again!

What a great dining experience! The flavors were amazing!

We Went back to Maro and every time it is better than the last time. The owner is amazing I cannot wait for his new restaurant grand opening, in Hamilton! OHHH MYYYY!! I Waitress Ariel for her the best we ever had! Nobody beats her attention to details and care for her customers. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! I couldn t believe what the amazing food we ate was like a party in our mouth as we travelled to the unbeaten paths of Lebanon while tasting the spices of the old countries!! Maro is so welcoming, every time we see him, he makes us feel like family This should be on everyone s bucket list!! Oakville s best kept secret!

I have been eating at Maros for over 5 years now and have seen why this restaurant continues to be so popular. Not only does the food just blow you away with flavours, from Here Comes the Bride, Veggie Tower, Lunch in Beirut and now the new menu items that let you try so many new things with a medley of food. The new renovations are a bit different from the lively atmosphere and decor - seats are a little small and tend to be more for an intimate dining experience. I do miss the more open table environment that had you eating in a more relaxed atmosphere with others there which elevated the livelihood of the place. When I invited my friend from Toronto to meet me at Maros this week I was a bit shocked at the new prices. Although the food does have so much for you to share and to bring some home, I found it a little financially challenging to order more than 2 items on the menu - when I would usually order three to make sure new items were enjoyed. And for the first time (maybe because Maro wasnt working ?) the flavours just didnt kick like they always did before. I will still go back for sure but may consider a different food adventure now that the pricing is quite a bit higher than before and TBH the seats needed to be a bit more sturdy. Vegetarian options: Veggie Tower is amazing!

Great dishes, amazing atmosphere

My wife and I were referred to Maros Bristro . We decided to give it try and went for lunch. The full experience was excellent! We made our food choices based on Jesss recommendations, we have no regrets the food was delicious and extremely flavorful. We will be back again

We had such a lovely meal at Maro s! The staff, the ambiance, and the food were all impeccable. They also gave us some amazing scones - compliments to the early morning bakers! Vegetarian options: So many thoughtful, delicious vegetarian and vegan options! Dietary restrictions: So many thoughtful, delicious gluten free options!

It was my first time at Maros, Jess was our server and she was excellent! The service was fast, and the vibes were amazing. definitely coming back :)

Jess, was amazing server, so friendly, and her suggestions were spot on. Food was incredible. Will definitely be back.

The food was excellent. We had the fried cauliflower and the chicken. What was even more excellent was our waitress SainSha. She was first rate. Friendly, knowledgeable and effective. If she is on the day you go, you are in for a treat.

This review is a few weeks too late but after an amazing stroll on the lakeshore side, Maros food satisfied to the fullest. Loved their turkish coffee presentation amd the food tasted delicious!!!!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!!!! EXCEPTIONAL FOOD + OUTSTANDING SERVICE by our hostess Sainsha equals us returning for a second time during our mini vacay. Between our two visits - We had the K-Saq to start followed by Lebanese Cevapi, Here comes the Bride, Grilled Balkan Beef & Lamb Cevapi, Maros Special For drinks - the kids had Iced Lattes & we loved the Tehran Underground cocktail which totally topped off our experience. Sainsha was extremely attentive, and caring helping us with our questions as we had no idea how big the portion sizes would be. So listen to her when she tells you if it s too much lol ! She was also great in helping baknce our palate which we appreciated greatly. Topping all of that off with the fact that I am Gluten intolerant so having a variety of dishes to choose from totally made my day. Thank you Sainsha & Maro s for being a memorable part of our trip this time a 10/10 You guys know how to make everyone, especially visitors feel special Keep doing what you re doing!!

Food wasn t that good, although the service and atmosphere was great.

Easily within my top 5 of best places Ive eaten in my life. Portions are huge and every single thing I tried in our K-SAQ plate (+Tandoori Chicken Breast) was out of this world!

The true test of a Lebanese restaurant is the hummus. A relatively simple dish that is hard to get spot on. And Maro gets it spot on. Which is why everything else is pretty awesome too.

Too oily.

Excellent.

Went for lunch with my mom and it was amazing! Food was great and the portions were huuuuge. Our server Sain Sha was amazing

Best restaurant Ive been to this year! Food is exceptionally delicious (with large portions), price is reasonable, and the service is on-point. Will definitely be coming back here frequently. Dietary restrictions: Good amount of tasty gluten-free options

Love the food here - tasty and unique combinations. The meat and potatoes are amazing but there are also big and fresh salads. Portions are big, you could share some of the dishes with an adult or kids. Service can sometimes be on the slower side but is generally good and friendly. The connecting cafe/bakery has great pastries and viennoiseries. Only downside is how loud it gets when its full (nothing absorbs the sound). Hard to hear people youre with.

Definitely recommend this place. This was our visit and it was a big group. The food was amazing and came very quick. Mikela did an amazing job helping us with the recommendations and service. Definitely recommend this place.

Incredible, flavourfully and abundant food and drinks. Servers are friendly, attentive and offer excellent recommendations. The owner is very active in ensuring we had a good experience. I will come back again. One constructive feedback Id offer is to lower the music volume so its easier to maintain a conversation with friends without struggling with the background loudness.

We celebrate our anniversary here. The best place to spend your partner with. Food is delish!

Last week our team went for lunch at Maros Bistro and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the portions were large and our server guided us well about sharing portions although not many of us chose that option. The place is small but the atmosphere is inviting. I ate the Miami affair and it was very delicious although a little on the spicy side. I also had Turkish coffee but didnt feel it lived up to its reputation. My colleague vouched that it was not authentic Turkish coffee. We had a pleasant and relaxed experience. Only two things could be improved. 1. We were more than a group of 6 but were paying individually. It was not clear if the 22% gratuity had been included in the bill as was mentioned for larger groups on the website. This caused confusion as the server provided no clarity. So some of us, liked me, tipped and others didnt. 2. We were celebrating our colleagues birthday. Usually upon hearing this, restaurants do something as a token gesture to celebrate the birthday. They either bring a small cake or any dessert and candle to wish the person. There was nothing done from this restaurants side. Other than this, I was happy to visit and would love to come back.

Wow . What an incredible dining experience! We aren t in Oakville often, but we have now been fortunate enough to go to Maro s twice. The first time was in 2019, and we ve dreamt about that meal ever since. Recently, we were nearby on Father s Day and went for lunch. Though all of the staff were incredibly helpful, Michaela (I hope I spelled that correctly), went above and beyond. I loved her dress so much, and she even showed me where I could get my own! We received amazing recommendations and as promised, the cauliflower was fantastic. Every bite was perfectly seasoned and delectable. Oh and the pastries next door were the perfect dessert. Thanks Michaela, the kitchen and all of the staff. You gave us another amazing experience and now we re going to make the trip back much sooner! I d have posted the photo of our plate, but it was half demolished before I thought to get a pic

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G If you haven t been here, just go. JUST GO. One of the best restaurants I ve been to. Food

A 5+ service, food and drinks!!! Everything was great and a pleasant surprise - deserts Food : 5/5

Incredible food and great service! Can t wait to go back.

We were a group of 7 that visited Maro s for lunch. Food - We had the lunch in beruit, Lebanese cavapi, babel and Miami affair. Favourite was lunch in Beirut but can t really go wrong with anything! Had ginger ale and some ginger beer too - stellar! Atmosphere - a little cramped. Been over a year since I ve visited Maros, seems like there were some changes to the aesthetics. Overall, it was good. One advice to management would be to add some lighting to the hallway leading to the bathroom. Service - there is a mandatory 22% gratuity for groups of 6 and above, so keep that in mind if you re thinking about overall cost.

Had the Lebanese cavapi and the secret. Both were amazing, the patty of the secret was outstanding. Next time Ill share the main and try some of the sides!

We love Maros and get take out often. Everything is packed full of flavour, and while it might be on the higher side for price of Mediterranean food in the area, the serving sizes are decent and the food quality is great. I highly recommend getting the cauliflower (A MUST TRY) and the fish dish. I can t speak on the new atmosphere but heard the new renovations are beautiful! My only wish from this place is that all the takeout containers were biodegradable; the smaller containers seem to be but I don t believe the larger colour print boxes are.

Love going to Maro s to meet up with a friend or colleague. Pleasant environment and good quality food!

Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! Been coming here for 2 years, the new renovation is unreal and so beautiful. The food is beyond, completely breaks the trashy standard of restaurants in oakville, one of a kind place, would come daily

Love it! Best street terrace and food in Oakville! Super friendly and accomodating staff!

My first time trying this place as it was recommended by a friend. The service was amazing and so was the food. Couldn t recommend this place more. I really felt like I was back in the Middle East (music, vibes,food). Maro is awesome and I will be coming back for sure

While the food was good as most people here have said, the owner hid the tip amount when we went to pay. It was only when I was given the receipt that I could see what he generously tipped themselves. We were 6 people occupying the largest table. Our bill was over $250. It was only at home that I did the math and saw the amount was calculated on the full amount including tax. While this is a contentious practice I could let slide, the amount was equivalent to 25% of the full total including tax! Yes we expected the 6 people service charge but even the Bonacini restaurant we were at the week before only charged an 18% service charge. Never again. Responding to owner: While I appreciate the response, I do not live in Oakville so am unable to act on your offer. If suitable, please contribute the amount or value of the bill to a food charity or provide a meal to people in need.

The customer service is terrible here! The owner is rude and I will never be back here again.

Such flavourful, delicious food. We loved everything! It can get a little loud and crowded but def worth it! Dietary restrictions: Accommodated for no nuts and sesame seeds

Both the food and my server (Ethan) were excellent. Will definitely be back! Excellent service Ethan!!!!

Come here if youre hungry and want good food! Lived in Oakville my whole life and never thought a gem like this would be hidden in plain sight, discovered it from TikTok and dont have any regrets. Flavor is out of the world & the portion size is massive.

Magnificent! We shared the K-Saq and every bite had tremendous flavour. Very friendly staff who frequently checked in on us, and a giant lovely patio for gorgeous weather. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.

Vegetarian options: Rare gem...Maro and Mikaela are amazing. They go extra step to make the guests feel comfortable. Its an amazing place...the food is awesome with flavors that are unique and lovely. Lots of vegetarian options. They went out of their way and treated us to some amazing deserts from Narenj.... Kid-friendliness: Mom spicy food choices and very accommodating

We had amazing food at Maro s. I personally love middle eastern food and this is a gem of a place that we accidentally found in Oakville.

Hands down the best dinning experience my family has ever had! Came in for my sisters birthday, and Mikayla served us! My family had the best experience with her, she made everyone feel so comfortable, totally made my sisters birthday by going out of her way to make it special! She is a gem, and I can t wait to come back next time and bring in new friends to try Maros! The best service, and delicious food! Absolutely worth it!!

Food is amazing. Micaela gave us the most professional service I ever experienced.

Everything is amazing, I always get the avocado salad with chicken schwarma. Portions are massive. Go next door for the amazing pastries.

Great food and we had a great waiter by the name of Ethan, very attentive and was his 2nd day on job and did amazing!!! Great Job Ethan hope to see you soon!!!

I had dined at Maros before and shared the experience with my out of town friends. Loved the food and had the pleasure to meet Maro himself! Amazing experience and beautiful restaurant. This is a hidden jewel on Kerr. Go next door for the delicious deserts as well. Wow h every delectable bite. The roasted Cauliflower was amazing!

Came with family and friends, the service was spot on, we were treated extremely respectfully, staff went above and beyond. The food was impeccable, great portion sizes to share. We got the Maro s special and The Babel. Great size for three people. Highly recommend both. Dessert was great, handmade daily, extremely well done. We got the crème brûlée and hazelnut truffle bar. Looking forward to coming back soon!

We had an amazing dinner with our family. The service was amazing and the food was spectacular. Ethan was so lovely. Really attentive and kind service. All the staff was amazing. We will be back soon! Dietary restrictions: Many options for different needs.

Went for dinner on a Friday evening and we were lucky enough to snag the last table. Several diners came after us and had to wait for a table. The servers were all helpful and friendly and Ethan was especially attentive and kind. The food was excellent fresh, flavourful and the eggplant was cooked to perfection .soft and melt in your mouth. It s casual on the interior but cozy. Street metered parking on Kerr St. Portions are HUGE! Lots of vegan and gf options:)

Went here for the first time and was absolutely blown away by the food, service and staff! Lots of delicious vegan and vegetarian options, especially loved the fried cauliflower! Too hard to pick a favourite but Lunch in Beirut and the Halloumi cheese were loved by all. Special shoutout to the knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff Michaela and Ethan! Ethan especially went out of his way to make sure we had the best night with the best vibes! Will definitely be returning and requesting Ethan as our server! Vegetarian options: So many vegan and vegetarian dishes to choose from! Tried 3 and all were delicious! Parking: Found parking a couple of streets away and enjoyed the walk!

I was just at your restaurant for the first time (after living in Oakville for many years) thanks to the suggestion of the friend that brought me to you. Wow! !! Where do I begin? Such a nice energy - of trendy setting and types of customers and staff in your location. The menu looked like a unique selection and our servers were fantastically friendly and aware of the most-liked menu options from past customers. The main server may have been in a managerial-type role(?) - if not, I would strongly recommend that she moves into such a role if it is her desire to do so (just an opinion based on the service received from her). She was extra-attentive, aware of our needs, kind, courteous and helpful in every way that we needed. Now - the food.... that is the REAL wow!!! Both the friend that brought me here and I are quite capable (and dare I say good/great cooks in our own specialties). This restaurant (in my opinion) is the type that any good cook or foodie would enjoy. A place that makes unique preparations that I did not imagine would be served so beautifully too. HUGE servings - so even ordering from the add-on list was way more than sufficient for us. And the creations are unique, incredibly tasty/savoury and very satisfying to enjoy. I am mentioning cooks will enjoy this specifically, yet we know that each person has their own taste for different foods and flavours. Anyone who likes to feel like they are eating a unique and creative serving of food when they are eating, would likely love this experience. I can say that we were very happy with the whole experience and I could not be happier with this restaurant. My friend was very aware of (and perhaps not so comfortable with it) the noise around us from a very full room of customers when we arrived, which required that we lean in to hear each others words while sitting only across a small table. For me, I loved the lively energy around us which cleared steadily through our lunch there and was almost empty by the time we left (likely just ahead of the dinner crowd). I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE. If you are visiting with someone needing, or using hearing aids, do keep this noise idea in mind and book/arrive at a slower time. The food quality and quantity is worth going. But hearing aids often enhance some noises that wearers may not like in a busier visit time. A young and energetic customer/foodie would likely love both the lively energy and the meal choices and tastes. For now, thank-you Maros - you have been for me, one very classy and incredibly tasty experience. I will be back!!! Many blessings to you all for continued excellence in your service, and my sincere wishes for your success in every positive way! Keep up the great work and thank-you again. I have already started spreading the word about you and will continue to do so! Kindly and Appreciatively, Hanifa

OMG, this place is a real gem !! I dont write many reviews, so when I do its because I believe they really deserve it. The food was amazing, service excellent, and great atmosphere. Mykala looked after us incredibly well; we shared their signature dish (Bella and the Beast) and it was fabulous ! Will definitely return

Nice middle-eastern restaurant. Very good price per value.

Amazing food, superb service!! My random craving for Mediterranean dish was definitely beyond satisfied highly recommend to get their fried Halloumi cheese!!

Maybe the best restaurant in Oakville!

My first time dinning at Maros My kids brought me here for Fathers Day.. the food is incredible, fresh as it can be and incredible tasteful. We had the chebapi, home sweet home and more. The service by Mikayla was just the best, her friendly smile and attention to detail was amazing. Maro ( owner) introduced himself and explained the dishes to us.. do yourself a favor and come and dine here. .. bravo

Can t say enough of how amazing our experience was at Maro s and Narenj. The service food and atmosphere was incredible. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. Big shout out to Mikayla who was amazing, she was extremely helpful and recommended some amazing dishes and dessert. You have to try both places - you will definitely leave impressed! 10/10

One of the best spots in Oakville! Seriously, if you haven t tried the food here, please come immediately. It s a hidden gem! The food is unbelievable, authentic and mouth watering. Not to mention the portion sizes are fantastic. You really do pay for the quality and quantity which is so hard to find these days at resturants. The service is impeccable as well and the food comes very fast. Mikayla was so sweet and her hospitality was greatly appreciated. We got the opportunity to meet Maro himself and he is fantastic. Maro is so friendly, outgoing, personable and really makes the experience worth while. I recommend coming here!!

It s a very cute and cozy Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant and one of the perks here is being connected yo Narenj Café that you can order desserts from or enjoy weekend brunch in. The service can be rather slow at times, even when the restaurant is not that busy. We ordered Hummus for appetizer that was fresh and delicious. For our mains, we ordered Here Comes the Bride and Maro s Special and enjoyed both.

We went for cauliflower to be honest. 10/10 for cauliflower. The place has a really good vibe. Kudos to the owner he is very respectful and nice and genuinely recommend good dish

Amazing food.

I loved this restaurant. It s a great mix of Persian, Turkish, Lebanese food. The owner was super nice and warm and welcoming. Highly recommend the food and the experience We ordered persian style plate and Babel plate They brought us Cauliflower with Hummus on the house Gonna come back soon

I ve been to Maro s many, many times and have had the pleasure of watching this bistro evolve. Not only is the food absolutely delicious but, with their open concept kitchen, you can see that all their dishes are made fresh and with passion and care. The service is exceptional - the decor, music and overall ambiance makes this a great place to enjoy the perfect meal. Thank you Maro s for your consistency in the neighbourhood. I know I can always count on a good meal whenever I stop by.

Love the quality in both food and service.

The food was extremely delicious. I think way too expensive. The reason why I went there was to meet this incredible owner Maro...The persian lady other owner was nothing short of unprofessional. Tried to speak to her re my background working for high Windsor Arms in Toronto Three Small rooms Les Martin in yorkville etc..and Oliver,s in oakville , while putting myself through Medical School. Her response was nothing short of non professional and could not wait to get back on the cell phone and eating her plate of food while Customers were standing waiting for a table and service. So disappointed ..... really had my heart set of meeting the owner ....

Food is amazing, loved the drinks, and our waitress, Sophia, was so welcoming and friendly. We drove from Bayview Village and it was worth every kilometer. We will be back again at our first chance!!

At Maro, the owner greeted us warmly and seated us promptly. Sofia, our server, was delightful and suggested the chicken shawarma and cauliflower side, both of which left us thoroughly satisfied. The food was simply delicious.

Absolutely in love with this place. The Shwarma and cauliflower were absolutely amazing. Sofia was our server. Her service, kindness and thoughtful recommendations were perfect. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out. Good food. Good service. Good people.

Music is too loud for a brunch spot, server s attitude is rubbish, and while food is okay, nothing tastes as it should.

We ordered the After Sunset salad (my favourite) and the Fairouz. Both meals were delicious! The server was so nice and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Oh My God. Amazing flavours, enjoyed every bite of my meal plus I had to sample my partners. Amazing service. Vegetarian options: We are both vegetarians and I was surprised at the selection of dishes available. Wonderful place, wonderful real food.

I can see the hype around the food, it s really good if you like modern middle eastern cuisine. Unfortunately, the service wasn t up to par, that s where they lose points. It wasn t as busy, yet the tables weren t fully cleaned, we had to wait a while for cutlery and ended up having to cancel part of the order because we realized it wasn t coming any time soon. Btw, the item was a salad, which should ve came first. All in all, would come back for the food only if I m in the area, just really disappointed with the service.

Its one of the best Lebanese restaurants in GTA. The presentation, taste, and the service, everything was awesome. The ambiance was nice as they have an indoor and outdoor sitting area, but space is very limited. One thing I would suggest to them is to serve rice with their meals as our kids were missing. Apart from that, it is highly recommended.

our server was great at explaining everything and making general conversation. the food came quickly and was super delicious. we loved the patio area with the super soft cushions and had a great time.

The food is very very tasty. Will highly recommend.

One of our regular dine in places. The food is fantastic, portions are fair and we ALWAYS have great service. Highly recommend sharing plates so you can try a few items off of the menu (: Some of our favourite dishes: K-SAO 30 Plate of Cauliflower and Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Muhammara. Halloumi and marinated grilled Artichokes. FAIROUZ 27 Cajun Spiced Grilled Veggies mixed witt Lebanese garlic Potatoes on a bed of Hummus topped with Beef and Lamb Cevapi LUNCH IN BEIRUT 26 Chicken Shawarma sautéed with Onions and Peppers on a bed of homemade Hummus, Garnished with Beets and Cucumbers

Lots of vegan and non vegan options. Big portions. Will be back!

Excellent food, big portions, friendly service, and cool ambiance. Our mains, here comes the bride and the secret were really delicious. The dishes were expensive, but offset by the large portion sizes as we both had lunch the next day. Starter salad was good. Their dessert sister store has a good range and a wonderful vibe.

Delicious food and generous portions with a nice atmosphere. Staff were also very friendly!

Went here for lunch and everything was amazing! Shared two dishes amongst three adults and one child: Lebanese Cevapi and Here Comes the Bride. Both were so delicious. I d order them both again in a heartbeat. The servers were super friendly. One guy helped us decide what to order based on what we were in the mood for. Loved the atmosphere with the variety of seating, unique decor and open kitchen. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available on the menu. Parking: Restaurant is right off of Kerr Street so you have to find street parking, which is paid during the week and free on weekends.

First time at this restaurant. Will definitely be back again. Roasted cauliflower, kale salad, everything was so good

I love this place! Dropped in on a whim yesterday with a friend and Push looked after everything from recommending a shared lunch meal to seeing us out the door in style. Small, casual, clean, reasonably priced and not rushed. We ll be back!

Their platters are really really good and their desserts are good too. I find this place a little bit pricey but it s a cute cozy place.

The food here is amazing! We had the before sunset platter and every part of it was amazing The server was super smiley and helpful and the atmosphere was great. Chill music, not too loud and very cozy. Dietary restrictions: They accommodated me for being lactose intolerant

Food is fire, cozy vibe

Today my wife and I tried Maros awesome food for lunch. This is the first time we tried the Lebanese cuisine and frankly speaking this is so nice to enjoy. We tried the Babel and the Secret (hopefully I remebered the names correct) and it must be our best dining experience in this week. Wonderful food, exceed portion size, very touchy service, beautiful dining decor and ambiance according to my wife. Strongly recommand to try, and we are going to plan to have it again with our family in this weekend.

Loved it!

Absolutely delicious! I met up with a friend here for lunch and to catch-up; neither of us had been here but had heard great things and it did not disappoint, I would highly recommend.

Amazing taste and special one as FAIROUZ, highly recommended.

Amazing, loved everything about it. I had Lunch in Beirut, I dont know how many more visits before Im interested in trying anything else but im sure it will be just as delicious Dietary restrictions: I overheard the manager very knowledgeably suggesting modifications for people at the next table and they seemed delighted with what they received Kid-friendliness: My kids shared the kids plate very happily

Maro s Bistro is amazing! Beautiful casual vibes, afternoon sunlight streams in the window, and the food and drinks feel like being punched in the mouth with flavour!! The lamb and beef cavapi (grilled ground meat) is intensely savoury and the portions are generous, the humous and garlic sauce are good enough to drink, and make sure to get a rosewater lemonade - bright red, sparkling, intensely tart and so refreshing. Absolutely fantastic all around, and Push the manager and the whole staff are so friendly and welcoming. I don t live in Oakville, but I ll come back for sure!

When I said I was in town and asked for a recommendation, a co-worker immediately endorsed this place, Ive been twice so far and its fantastic. Push and the rest of the staff are friendly and genuine, the atmosphere is gorgeous, when the patios open its blissful, and of course the food...wow. Even my kids ate eagerly, and thats no small feat.

Love Maro s! Always delicious and very filling.

Lunch in Beirut was amazing and the service was amazing. I typically refuse to enter establishments with time limits for seating but this place is a must visit. Food : 5/5

The food was tasty and the service was very good.

Top 3 favourite restaurants! The food always impresses, friendly staff, great portion sizes.

How often is cauliflower the thing that draws people in the door? Well it calls to us from Maros! We found a winner in Bella and the beast and keep coming back for more.

Amazing food Great ambiance and awesome service Food

12/10 food atmosphere and service is amazing.

Great service and amazing food! The ambience was so warm and inviting

May your heart be blessed... From another Lebanese restaurant out in Alberta.

Quick tasty food, fast service good atmosphere

Maros is one of our favourite spots to dine in Oakville! Such great food and the service is amazing & friendly. Our favourite dishes are their fatoush salad and chicken shawarma plate! So delicious :)

Food was amazing

Amazing service

Tonight was my first experience at a Lebanese food spot and I can confidently say they blew my mind away. From the moment you walk in it is an amazing vibe the decor, the smell of the food, everything is amazing. I haven t had good restaurant food since before Covid and this restaurant had such high quality, flavourful food and the portion size was amazing especially for the price point we loved it amazing. We came, we ate, laughed, the staff was amazing, so friendly!!! They told us what to get and did not disappoint. If you want to come for birthdays, date nights, anniversary, girls night out, anything run don t walk to this restaurant it is amazing!! To put the icing and sprinkles on the cake they gave us complimentary desserts for no reason sooo niceee and kind. I was so shocked so amazing. 12/10 experience!!

Went here today with my siblings. The food was amazing !! Highly highly recommend the service was great. Staff super friendly. This is my new favourite spot!! Cant say enough good things!

Amazing amazing restaurant!!! This is the first restaurant I have been to since COVID that has had good food! Also, they gave us a free dessert on our way out! Amazing helpful staff and amazing amazing food! You will not be disappointed if you go here, get the Here comes the bride fish or Maro s special with lamb and beef, both were incredible and so flavourful.

We had the Bohemian. The food was excellent!

I ve never been a regular at any restaurant before I ve come to Maro s. The food quality, taste, presentation, and portion size are amazing. The best part of my visits however is Push - his customer service is extraordinary. He is informative, positive and very warm. I would recommend ordering anything that contains Halloumi.

The food here is great, however the waitstaff isn t. We were greeted politely and then once we got our food, not once were we checked up on. The waitress even said if we have any questions about the menu to ask, but she never came back and sure enough we had a question. The owner (?) had to take our order. We also were deciding what to get for drinks but no one came so we didn t bother to order them and just got water instead. We had to ask for water while the waitress paid more attention to other guests (people who spent more money, bigger groups, rich looking people, etc). We spent a couple minutes even trying to get her attention but she turned away each time. Also, everyone around us got mint water while we got regular water. We questioned the waitress as to why we got regular water and she said they were in the middle of putting fresh mint in the bottles, yet when guests came they got mint water from the shelf with many mint waters existing there already. We were literally the only table with no mint water. When it came time for us to ask for a take out box and bill, that was a mission and a half. We literally had to stare the waitstaff down and flag them over. That took about 10-15 minutes in itself. Because of zero attention from waitstaff, I ve subtracted stars. If the service was as good as the food, there would be better ratings. I am disappointed as my friend and I were excited to come eat here. We felt invisible during our entire dining experience.

Middle Eastern fare is my happy place and always on a lookout for joints that do it well. Maro s invariably came up whenever food scene in Oakville was discussed, our sign to visit it sooner than later and I am glad that we found this incredible place. Every aspect of this warm bistro is well thought of.. shuts start by read the names of dishes.. every dish seemed mysterious and tempting.. I wanted to sample loads of it.. but was timely cautioned by our sever.. The portion sizes are HUGE.. go there with a big group of friends because these guys are generous.. So we limited ourselves at ordered just a few dishes.. STAR of the table.. as the name would suggest was a Fish dish named Here comes the Bride .. wonderfully tender and subtly flavoured fish fillets with just the right amount of crunch. Their Lebanese Cevapi was unique take on grilled chicken .. again big portion great side of salad. The dips need a review of their own.. simply delectable.. hummus , Muhammara paste.. we ordered extra to carry home.. The only dish that just didn t rise up to the standards of this fabulous meal was .. Lunch in Beirut .. the chicken Shawarma was too bland and chewy and the vegetables didn t work either. But the rest of the experience was superb. Amazing service.. great ambience.. the place was full and beaming with happy faces and friendly vibes.. Needless to say we big bag of leftovers home!!!

We visited on a weekday for lunch which was a perfect vibe. It wasnt too busy at the time we visited, so we were able to enjoy the sunshine coming in through their windows and take our time to enjoy the food! We had the Bella and the Beast and the Lebanese Cevapi dishes. They also give pita, hot sauce, and a garlic sauce on the side. The meals were beautiful and phenomenal for flavour. My boyfriend isnt a cauliflower fan and said this is the best cauliflower hes ever had (he loved it). Wed definitely go back again for both dishes, but there look to be so many yummy things. The portions were huge, and we left with a takeout container with quite a bit left over, enough for another meal. They also have many vegan/vegetarian options and were inclusive for my dairy-free diet! The drinks and desserts from their sister restaurant next door, Narenj, are also amazing! I could not believe how amazing the Vegan Raspberry Mousse dessert was! My boyfriend got a Pistachio Croissant and Scone to go and enjoyed them both as well. We will be back for sure! Vegetarian options: The menu is well labeled for vegan/vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: The menu specifies which items are GF. I am dairy-free and our server was very accommodating and helpful.

Food is good but service team arent friendly.

Very delicious authentic Lebanese food. Nice vibes.

Maros is a fantastic spot intimate and welcoming, offering a delightful array of flavorful dishes. The food was truly exceptional, crafted from fresh ingredients for a comforting meal. The vibrant, well-presented plate was not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty. The friendly and welcoming host Push made our visit enjoyable. Adjacent to the restaurant, their café also caught my eye. Ill certainly be returning for another visit.

I ordered don t remember the name but it was tandoori chicken and baked potatoes. The food was good and well cooked, and the service was friendly. The portions are large. However, the amount of chicken was not comparable to the high price of the meal. The amount of potatoes was more than enough. In addition, forcing 25% gratuity for large numbers is not fair given that no special arrangements was done for my group other than just sending out the orders in advance.

Great food, definitely worth a visit.

A 100% must try for date night. Try the popular cauliflower dish.

The food is fresh and delicious. Sizable portions which are great for sharing and so creatively presented! Coming back tomorrow!

This is a gem of a place! Food is full of flavour and variety for plant based customers. Service is super fast and friendly! Highly recommend!!

The food is excellent, the portions are large, you can safely order one dish for two. BUT I was very indignant that I had to pay an additional 20% of the bill on top, just because there were more than 6 of us, although we asked to seat adults and children at different tables. I give it one out of five, it was very unpleasant. I ll also note this on Instagram, your reputation will go down a little.

The food was DELICIOUS Highly recommend the K-SAQ Food
