7315 Yonge St, Thornhill, ON L3T 2B2, Canada
Busy, casual haunt with Arabic comfort food including manakeesh, falafels & shawarma plates.
We ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate and BBQ Plate, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The Beef Shawarma Plate was served cold, and even after requesting it to be reheated, it was brought back cold again. On a positive note, the gentleman serving us provided excellent customer service, which was appreciated. Regarding the billing, we noticed that a 13% tax was applied to the hookah and pops, whereas other competitors seem to apply the GST/HST break in similar cases. This was unexpected and worth noting for future customers.
Sheesha and green tea—a delightful combination! The seating could be improved, and the flavors could be more varied. I’m excited to try their food again in the future.
Overall the food was really yummy and we’d come back again! Our favourite was certainly the chicken shawarma hummus and pita, the beef manakeesh was okay but wouldn’t order it again.
I came last night and I am Iranian and Qalyun was great, it reminded me of an Arabic cafe in Iran and no matter how much I smoked, I could not finish it and the Turkish coffee was unique.🙏👌❤️
Revised after multiple visits: This is a solid spot with great hookahs, a quick turnaround, and reasonable prices. The atmosphere is relaxed, and I appreciate that they keep the music at a comfortable level, making it an ideal place to hang out without feeling overwhelmed. I recently tried their beef shawarma plate, and it was excellent—definitely confirms the quality of their food. The staff here are friendly and helpful, even during busy times. Sierra, in particular, is attentive and professional, always making sure everyone is well taken care of. Overall, a fantastic place for a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
We actually tried this place since it was marked 4.4 on maps and +1K reviews and our expectations were high. I can see they are not trying to be the best now since they have this much of reviews. Kunafa was really bad and it was all cheese and not sweet. Service was also very slow. I think maybe we came at a bad time, 9PM Saturday and they are more focused on people coming after 10PM. I will not recommend this place. Shisha was good though, no music or anything.
The service was great! The servers/owners are very nice and hospitable. Food was okay, our favourite was the dip platter with the pita. The menu said spicy potatoes, but the potatoes are not spicy, they have more of a lemon flavour with mild spice. The spinach and cheese bread was okay too. The falafels were great, and this dish could’ve been even better if we had a garlic spread that falafels usually come with, and a spicy hot sauce. The atmosphere was okay, just a heads up their shisha area is in the same space; so if you don’t like shisha smoke, you might not want to dine in. Otherwise, in general this place is good.
Had so much food 🫠 everything we ate was delicious! Quick and great service, delicious food and lively atmosphere! Nice place to come and hangout. We had hummus with pita, cheese rolls, chicken shawarma and kunafa. The Turkish coffee was a nice way to end the meal. The combination of hummus cheese rolls and onions were delicious.
Good vibes and good food just a heads up shisha is herbal
Good food!! Thx Valentina for the service! Hopefully see you again!!
Valentina was great
Valentina helped us alot with our food
We had a great experience with Lilly as our waitress who was very helpful and kind throughout our stay.
Weve been to this restaurant twice - mostly because we liked the food here. Its a good meet up place between my friend in the west end and myself in the east end. Service this time was really good. Seeing that I was wearing oxygen, our server (Alexandra?) put us as far away as possible from the hooka smokers so that I wouldnt be bothered. I didnt even ask, but she just thought we would be more comfortable. I really appreciated that. Our server was very attentive, but didnt invade our space while we were chatting and catching up. She offered suggestions from the menu and when I told her I had dietary restrictions, she tried to find something that I could enjoy for dessert that wouldnt affect my stomach (I had the baklava which was enough for 1 person). Even after I couldnt have coffee/tea/hot chocolate, she offered me warm water with lime just so I could have something warm. I had the shish tawook wrap. The wrap was a saj wrap so it wasnt huge, but just the right amount of food for me. A grown man might need 2 of the wraps. The chicken was juicy and there were large pieces throughout. I really love their toum. It was a great addition on the side! My friend had the mixed shawarma late and it was a huge portion! She wasnt able to finish the entire thing and had to take it home. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. We can see the grill from the dining area, as well as other food areas. You can see the staff handling food in a very clean and safe way. Surprisingly for lunch on Monday, it had enough people. It seems to be popular for the hooka smoking as well. Overall, we will probably meet here again because its convenient and the food is good. It was a great lunch spot for us.
We used to come here often, but unfortunately, the service has consistently declined with each visit. I am extremely disappointed with the level of customer service at this establishment. It s frustrating to see such a lack of improvement despite frequent visits.
Service was awful.
Great food and hookah and awesome service, especially from Valentina. Thank you!!
Thank you valentina
Thank-you valentina
Valentino was amazing!
I had a wonderful experience at Laymoon! The shisha reminded me of back home it was just perfect. The food was delicious as well, but what truly made the evening special was the exceptional service by our server, Golnaz. She was incredibly professional, attentive, and skilled at her job. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, amazing shisha, and top-notch service
Valentina was great good service and very kind
Valentina gave us awesome service .
Great food and hookah. Loved the vibe. Wonderful service by Valentina. Will definitely be back.
Golnaz has very good service
Suera was friendly and good service
Valentina was exceptional!
great customer service and food was great. our server valentina was very sweat and patient with us and helped us with all our needs. 10/10 would recommend and come again
Laymoon Restaurant is the restaurant you feel like you eat at home with family, the staff are super friendly, kind and respectful, very nice arabic music and if there is a football game on, they dont hesitate to put it on and cheer with you... My work industry is very stressful sometimes so Im proudly like to call Laymoon Restaurant as my favourit spot to relax and have some Me Time... Keep up the good work and keep up the kindness... much
The server s name is sierra was nice and patient and friendly
Honestly over all pretty shitty place. The service is almost none existent and the food is at best average. Had to wait 30 min to order, 45 min for food and for it to come out cold and not even what I asked for. Asked for extra bread . never got it. Honestly I d go to the fried chicken place next door and skip this one.
We had Shisha and tea in this place and the service by the waitress Sierra and shisha guy was excellent overall a top place and great experience
This place is amazing, but Sierra made it even better! She was so kind and patient, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely coming back!
Noisy atmosphere. They add the tip to your bill automatically, and then I add more tips, not knowing this. A hookah and a 3 dip plate cost me 64 cad which was crazy. Food
The server had a big attitude issue towards non arabs. The food was decent. We were charged for food that was not served. Upon pointing out it was refunded.
Food is so tasty and the service is excellent!
Great environment & Friendly staff
The food was great! The customer service was also great! I really liked Osamas customer service.
Friendly people, esp Hussein, Basil, Asis. Delicious freshly cooked foods. Parking: More parking space
We didnt have to wait long to get orders taken & food came within 10 min which was fast compared to the normal resto-turtle service. The waitress re-assured us few times in case we need something more, and it was not so expensive to enjoy with the whole family. Unlike common restaurant in Toronto where it is gonna cost someone arm and leg to eat with additional 18% built-in for gratuity which is like a robbery by a common restaurant. At Laymoon, we were greeted by its proud personnel Hussein, Aziz, and Basil. There was also the young pretty lady whose name I cannot remember.
We were in town from Las Vegas and my cousin took us to your restaurant as she is raving how good the food is and how warm the employees are. Sure enough, she didn t dissapoint us The food was awesome, the service was superb. A BIG shout out to Hussein, Asis and Basil. You guys are just incredible
Amazing place Amazing service Fantastic food Food : 5/5
Sierra is the best
Sierra was amazing, very hospital, kind and perfect service, i will definitely go there again
I had the pleasure of being served by Golnaz at Laymoon, and she truly made my dining experience exceptional! She is incredibly kind and attentive, making sure every guest feels welcomed and cared for. Golnaz went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, taking the time to check in and share her warm smile throughout the meal. Her caring nature and dedication to great service are so genuine, making Laymoon a place you want to return to again and again. Highly recommend experiencing her wonderful hospitality
Sierra was amazing. Thanks for her service.
The staff are incredibly friendly. It s a family friendly atmosphere, phenomenal Mediterranean food, and a variety of different drinks. The waiter Basel is one of the kindest people, making sure everyone is pleased.
Everything was perfect, we serviced by sierra, she is really nice and kind and we satisfied with everything!
golnaz was wellcoming and friendly
Great vibes! Get the mint lemon slush for a refreshing taste. Golnaz was great!
I had an excellent experience at Laymoon Restaurant, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Sierra. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Her warm demeanor and attention to detail truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommend this place, and a special thanks to Sierra for her top-notch service!
I recently visited Laymoon Restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience. Sierra provided exceptional service she was professional, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect for us. The ambiance was great, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy both shisha and delicious food. Highly recommend this spot if you re looking for a chill vibe with top-notch service. Thank you, Sierra, for making our visit memorable!
Great food and atmosphere. Never disappoints. Will be back.
We enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant, with good food and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the seating was disappointing. We were given a small table in the middle of the space, which felt cramped for our meal, while larger tables were occupied by guests just having shisha, tea, and playing cards! The experience felt a bit unfair, and we hope the restaurant reconsiders its seating arrangements to enhance the dining experience for all guests.
Thanks cera for the customer service Amazing night and atmosphere, Cera really made sure we had a goodnight Food : 5/5
Excellent service
The food is fresh, and the tea is perfect, the people were very respectful and kind, the environment is very peaceful, if you want a nice trip to a restaurant, this is the excellent choice.
Had a great experience the hostess Sierra was very nice and was quick to serve us with everything. Definitely worth coming too.
Vegetarian options: Falafel, Zatar manakesh, dip trio. Food
Golnaz is the best server
Went there with my friends and the place was super busy, however service was as good as it could be in peak hours. Had to remind our server a couple of times of our order but then again there were a lot of people. Shisha was superb and my first time at an establishment like this and it was perfect!
The staff and owner are pros at making you feel welcome and right at home. Awesome
Amazing food never tasted better shawarma than here plus the service fabulous
Everything perfect
The food was pretty good and the service amazing, valentina the server was very kind
Food is delicious, music is good and Valentina was great help serve us all night. Great restaurant. Food
In my opinion, with respect, the tea is very bland and bad
Just decent food honestly, drinks are great. Bad service, very late on the managkesh even after telling them twice. Finished 1st plate (grills) and waited another while before getting the manakeesh.
Thank you for ahmed
Ahmed
Maral was really kind and patient with us. And on her toes with her service. Great food too!

A Disappointing End to Over Two Years of Loyalty As a loyal customer of your restaurant for more than two years, I have frequented your establishment almost daily, typically during non-peak hours. My monthly spending ranges between $1,200 and $1,500, as I have always appreciated the service and atmosphere. However, after today s experience, I have decided not to return, and this decision stems solely from my interaction with your manager, Mr. Osama. While I respect that the management of your restaurant is your prerogative, I feel compelled to share my experience in the hope that it brings awareness to the potential impact on your business. In my view, Mr. Osama s behavior suggests he may have personal biases, which unfortunately affect his professionalism. Today, for the first time, I was charged a $2 fee for heat management without prior notice. While the fee itself is trivial, it felt like a signal that my patronage was no longer valued. On a positive note, I would like to thank other members of your staff, particularly Mr. Ahmad, Basil, Abdo, Hirad, and others, who have consistently treated me with respect and kindness. Please note that I have the right to express my opinion under the laws and regulations governing customer reviews in Canada. My hope is that no other loyal customers face a similar experience. Thank you for the memories, and I wish you all the best in the future.
Great service from Valentina
Nice place. Valentina service was great. She was very polite kind and attentive
Everything is so good about this place.
Awesome food F Food : 5/5
Valentina was amazing! Great service and attention to us. Was really impressed. Food was yummy. Delicious. Thanks a lot for a few hours of enjoyment and relaxation.
Poor customer service by the white shirt guy he treated like ,we have to order some food not just sheesha,we said ofcourse we are here to order food,dont behave to any customer like this nobody gonna come if you are ordering people to do .. dont judge the book by its cover
Valania was soo nice and professional thank you

ahmad is the best servis thank you so much ahmad
Valentina
INCONSISTENT IN THE FOOD TASTE AND QUALITY. I have only ordered from the place. We ordered the full chicken from them 3 times and it was different every single time. First time the chicken was amazing. Juicy nice flavoured and loved it. Trusting that ordered for the second time and the chicken was dry and unlike the first time the chicken came in pieces which I think they ran out of the menu item and managed somehow making us disappointed. Then we thought we would try it for the third time and again it wasn t good as the first time. We really hope you would consider making your food served with consistency. And every single time the chicken tasted different. I will be giving it a try once more fingers crossed and decide whether to order or not from this place again.
I visited last month. Very unwelcoming staff. They don t even serve tap water and charge for water forcing you to buy a water bottle. The hookah is not even worth it. We asked the guy to correct it but he wasn t able to fix it after multiple attempts. Hard to get wrong with fries and chicken wings but they were sub par as well. Very rude staff
Had a Mixed Shawarma for takeaway along with potato wedges, and both of them were top notch stuff. Wedges were crispy and hot while the shawarma was juicy. Both are 10/10 recommend and definitely will come back to try more.
Maral and Valentina were amazing servers!
I had an excellent dining experience, thanks in large part to our server, Valentina. Her professionalism and attentiveness greatly enhanced our visit. The quality of the food was outstanding and met all our expectations. I highly recommend this establishment.
Had a terrific experience. Valentina was an amazing hostess. Definitely recommend.
Laymoons service was at an all time high today. Basil and Valentina were absolutely exceptional in their service, constantly checking up on us and attending to every need (even finding gluten free options for my aunt). Everything out of the kitchen was fresh and delicious, and the shisha was so flavourful it felt like the classic moasal my grandparents used to smoke. The outside dining is immaculate, I highly recommend it, especially on a summer night. Laymoon has always been good but they ve really stepped up their game to the next level and it is thanks to the incredible staff who served us today. Double their salary and retain them at all costs.
Valentina was an amazing server. Beautiful Atmosphere! Food
Great service and atmosphere, Valentina is nice I appreciate her.
Great food and atmosphere. Our server Valentina was extremely nice as well, great service overall
Just tried the Kunafa here it was absolutely delightful! The entire atmosphere at the restaurant is very middle eastern. The Kunafa was described to be an authentic Palestinian style dessert by the server. This dessert is delicious in my top 5 favourite desserts in the world! The Kunafa has slightly crunchy top, smells amazing, and a good cheese pull too!
The food is amazing!!! Fast service and the best staff..
Excellent place very family oriented, delicious food great service would definitely come again
The ambiance at this place is warm and inviting, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. special shoutout to Valentina, who went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.
This is my first visit to this restaurant. The food is delicious and ambiance is cozy. I would definitely pay another visit here. Special Thanks to Golnaz for friendly welcoming hospitality.
Valentino was great in hospitality
Amazing service with a great atmosphere.
Great food. Fresh and top quality. Only topped by the great service of Veronica, she was very forthcoming and exceptional service. Made our visit memorable. Anytime again !
Amazing place and Osama is a great and very attentive and professional manager We had a great experience , amazing shiaha and food and also their konafa is perfect Thank you for the great experience
Great experience. Valentina was super friendly.
The workers are so kind and professional ( Abdulla was extremely amazing) the food was so delicious I m definitely coming back here with my family and both my kids loved the food
The server was sweet and explained hookah and menu to our group,Thanks Valentina for the lovely experience
The quality of the food is good, their hookah is also good, the prices are reasonable, the customer service is good, I have been coming to this restaurant since two or three years ago, especially two of the servers, an Iranian boy and a girl named Veltina.
Love the place and the food One of my favourite places And ofc Basil is the best one there Atmosphere : 5/5
Thank you Basil and Rula for the amazing and fast service
From appetizers to desserts, this restaurant exceeded all our expectations!!! Basil & Rula were absolutely amazing & lovely! Highly recommended!!
Had an amazing time with family, everyone is really nice. Absolutely the best service, very fast and extremely friendly team!! Thank you all, especially Ruba and Baseel, for the great experience
Very overpriced. You are not even in downtown nor have superior food quality nor a crazy tidy atmosphere to price your menu like that. 80% of middle eastern restaurants have a cocky price lists for no reason.
It was a good experience, but the only problem was that too much smoke because of shisha
My second time visiting, their service and food are always on point. Special thanks to Gulnaz for being so attentive and friendly! We will definitely be back again.
The service is grate, Hirad is the best and very nice. The food is good, specially Felafel is so delicious.
Thank you very much for your hospitality! It was delicious! Thanks for the hookah! It s as if I was home, in Tashkent! I hope I will be your guest more than once!!!
Walked in, walked out after 3 min. The music is unbearable! Way too loud and not even nice songs lol. Cant hear yourself thinking!
such an amazing experience!! our server lana was extremely professional and friendly.
Friendly staff and nice vibe! Bring your own board games Food
They have decent food but workers ignored me when I asked to place an order and people in the place were unwelcoming when I first entered
Such a great place! Good vibes, music and kind people. The server Lana is very helpful and nice :)
Parking: The service was excellent Food
I enjoyed a night out with Middle East cuisine. Thanks Valentina! Food : 4/5
Valentina was a great server and very attentive
Not my first time here. Always amazing place and nice service. But the service today was wonderful . Thanks hyroud . We ll be back soon.
Very good food and good atmosphere
Valentina is incredible. She made us feel at home! Great place.
Laymoon is recommended if you want to eat something and have Shisha/Hookah/ghelyoon at the same time. People come here to play cards as well. You may ask them to pass you their card deck if you love playing card games. It is a good restaurant if you want to sit for a longer time. They are open until midnight which is another advantage of being their customer.
Pizza style shawarma hot from the oven was a delicious experience I had at Laymoon restaurant this evening! Food was great! Golnaz and others who served us were so nice and friendly! Another good thing about the place is that there is a more private section which is not very loud where you can have a conversation with your friends while enjoying the food and drinks! I definitely will go again
It was a very nice & smooth experience. Valentina did a very good job & made my experience wonderful. Kind hearted. Good vibes. Totally recommend.
I give five star to Valentino she was doing her job very well. She was nice and professional. Food was also good.
Valentina was a great server.
Food was amazing. Valentina was an amazing server. Definitely recommend.
My first time visiting was a really good place and a nice atmosphere, the service was exceptional, Valentina is a great girl she kept checking on our food and suggested good options since it was our first time there, I will definitely visit again
There was an Arabic waiter, we bought 2 drinks from outside, he came to us too much, first time he came to us to close the lid of the drink, then he came again told us to put them inside of the bag, again he came he said put under the table, we were so mad we left the place right away with out any tips:(
My mom and I decided to try Laymoon Restaurant as we were staying at a nearby hotel and we were both very pleased with the food & service! Thank you
They were very kind .Staff was amazing and friendly and fast to take our orders . Check up on customers more often . Great food ! Relaxing and fun place to chill Valentina was amazing waitress.
Very good!!!
Laymoon offers an exceptional Middle Eastern dining experience with its authentic flavors and cozy ambiance. The mezze platter, featuring hummus, baba ghanoush, and tabbouleh, is a must-try. The lamb kofta is tender and flavorful, while the chicken shawarma is perfectly seasoned. The staff are attentive and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant visit. With its elegant decor and reasonable prices, Laymoon is a standout choice for both casual meals and special occasions.
The workers serving people are very unprofessional and not fit to be a server. The upper management also have an attitude that is very rude and unnecessary.
I was very disappointed by their customer service. Not only i had to ask a few times for them to bring my order and wait much longer than others, but the waitress had an attitude that wasn t welcoming and made the experience unpleasant
It was our second time coming here for shisha, the service is good, Golnaz was our waitress, she is very friendly. Planning to come back here
Great Place and great customer service! Very friendly staff! Lama was sweet and helpful!
