I had the pleasure of dining at Laylak Lebanese Cuisine, and it was an unforgettable experience! The flavors of each dish transported me straight to Lebanon. The tabbouleh was fresh and zesty, while the kebabs were grilled to perfection, tender and full of flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a night out with friends. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, Laylak is a gem that offers a taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine, and I can't wait to come back!
I always have an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food is excellent, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who make me feel welcome. The ambiance is spot on, creating the perfect setting,. Highly recommend this gem!
I had an incredible dining experience at Laylak restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet sophisticated vibe that made the evening feel special. The service was impeccable — attentive without being overbearing, and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, adding to the overall experience. The food was nothing short of exceptional. The Hummus Tenderloin was my absolute favorite dish — the tenderness of the beef paired with the smooth, creamy hummus was a match made in heaven. The Chicken Tawouk was another highlight; it was so juicy and perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of char from the grill. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the tenderness of the chicken was remarkable. And then there was the Date Cake — I don’t think I’ve ever had a dessert quite like it. Moist, rich, and full of deep, sweet flavors, it was the perfect end to an unforgettable meal. If you’re in the area, this is definitely a place you don’t want to miss!
Laylak is simply fantastic! This was my second visit, with my first being at their other location closer to home in Oakville, and this downtown spot did not disappoint! From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm sense of calm, and the atmosphere was incredibly inviting and amazing decor. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors, and the service was attentive and friendly. The owner and GM, were very hospitable and pleasure to interact with. We needed a last minute reservation, and they were able to book us in. It’s rare to find a place where everything—from ambiance to service to food, drinks —is perfect, but this restaurant truly has it all. Highly recommend!
Had dinner here and it is INCREDIBLE! If you think beef and hummus can’t be taken to another level, think again. The chicken plate was also amazing. Everything is high quality. The mocktail drink was so unique! The restaurant itself is beautiful. The service by all, including the owner who happened to be there, was so warm and welcoming. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend!
As a classically trained chef, former owner of a national catering company, person who has eaten in 99 countries, and an author of a masters thesis about food cultures, I feel confident about recognizing good dining..In this case, EXCEPTIONAL dining! This was one of the best meals of my life. The hostess was warm and instantly set the tone for the hospitality to come. Talal and his amazing team of servers, bartenders, and chefs never missed a beat. The restaurant is immaculately clean, the decor is lovely, and the vibe is relaxed with modern elegance. The menu is refined and offers something for every taste and diet. The staff starts your dining conversation off by asking if there are any allergies. It is a testament to taking thoughtful care of guests. Recommendations are graciously offered and should be accepted. The food was fresh, colorful, balanced, carefully crafted, and delicious. We had eight dishes and two desserts. They were all exceptional. The cocktail menu was creative and varied. I would come back to Toronto just to dine here. Thank you for the wonderful evening, kindness, warmth, and engaging experience.
I visited in August 2024 with a friend for dinner. We ordered the chef's special. The restaurant ambience is wonderful; very nicely decorated and good music. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The general manager was at this site today and was very friendly. He gave us an extra desert of our choice on the house. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Would definitely recommend and visit again! 😊
Laylak is an absolute gem in the heart of the city! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by a lovely ambiance that sets the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The hospitality here is second to none. The general manager, Talal Al Hakim, was simply amazing. He personally took the time to welcome us and explain the menu in detail, which made us feel incredibly valued as first-time customers. His recommendations were spot on, and it was clear that he takes great pride in ensuring every guest has a memorable experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. And the mock-tails? Truly the best I've ever had. Each sip was a delightful experience in itself. If you're considering trying Laylak, don't think twice. Just go! You won't regret it. This restaurant offers a perfect blend of excellent food, outstanding service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended!
One of the most exquisite restaurants in downtown beautifully done Food ambiance and service The staff they go beyond and above cant recommend it enough Food : 5/5
I love everything about this restaurant the food the staff the ambiance I keep going there they never fail me Food
Food and ambiance were both fantastic. We tried their chef s special, everything we tried was delicious and perfectly cooked. Seating was incredibly comfortable and spacious, and food was served decently quickly. Ample amount of food. That said, the night we went it did feel a bit understaffed as we had to flag our waiters a few times for things such as getting the bill. Also, we were charged ~$3 dollars for pita without being provided a heads up that there is an extra charge.
I had a fantastic dining experience at Laylak! The ambiance was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to our waiter, Mayuk, who provided excellent service throughout our meal. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed. It s rare to come across such genuine and kind service, and Mayuk truly made our evening memorable. I highly recommend Laylak for both the amazing cuisine and the top-notch hospitality. Looking forward to coming back soon!
Great service by Mayuk! Definitely try the cheese rolls, they were great!
It was my first time having dinner at Laylak and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Had the Humus Tenderloin and Mixed Grill , both were delicious- especially the Orfali Kebab. Our host was Sena and she was exceptional.
Abdullah was the BEST!
Delicious and elegant
More than wonderful
The hostess Emma was such a sweetie and so helpful, made the night so wonderful! The servers were amazing too and so was the food!
Highly recommended! We ordered the chefs special, and everything was delicious. The fattoush salad was definitely the highlight absolutely the best part of the meal!
Great place I love it
Food
This was our first time visiting and it was amazing! The food was delicious and our server Abby was amazing. We are excited to come back again!
The food was amazing, the restaurant is lovely and has a great aesthetic. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be coming back!
The food and ambiance was amazing. The service was very friendly and we had a great time with our party. We will definitely be coming back again!
We had a very fun and relaxing dinner tonight. We loved the music and the service from Ariana! Thank you Ariana for making our dinner very enjoyable! Cathy Food : 5/5
I had an absolute wonderful experience at Laylak last night! Immediately walked in and you are greeted by a beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. We had Abby (I believe that was her name) as our server and she was absolutely top notch! Very polite and she was very attentive to our service. Now the food, it was phenomenal!!! Everything has great flavour, excellent presentation and took no time for the meals to come out to our table after ordering. Keep doing what youre doing, Laylak! Staff, food, cocktails, atmosphere all 10/10
Went back to Laylak after a concert and again, the food was impeccable, service was friendly, once seated the food came out quickly, and they accommodated my dietary restrictions fully. I brought some picky eaters to this restaurant and they enjoyed the food. There was no left overs on any of our plates. But in case your wondering what I got we ordered the following: dip trio (2 red pepper dips, one yogurt dip), mixed grill (which fed three people), and the makanek (beef sausages). In case your wondering, Im unable to have too much carbohydrates of any sort for health reasons, but this place can easily accommodate people who are (pre)diabetic or are on a ketogenic diet (if your into that) without sacrificing taste or quality. The awesome part of that for three people it cost $196 CND after tip (this was during the HST tax holiday implemented by both the federal and provincial government). This came up to $65.33 per person. So this place was very affordable without sacrificing atmosphere, quality of food, and quality and speed of service. I have recommended this place to others I know and they have also been very surprised about the food, atmosphere, service and the affordability. I do suggest you book a couple of day in advance especially during popular hours or times of the year. When I first went it wasnt as busy as I saw it yesterday (Saturday Night at a late dinner time). So its gained popularity very quickly and for good reason. So book in advanced. Might not be a surprised at this point given how long this review is (which I never really give to any restaurant except for Hezxagon in Oakville) but I will be going back again and again as long as the quality of food, service, atmosphere and affordability continue to be consistent. Cheers! Dietary restrictions: For people with (pre)diabetes or are on a ketogenic diet, order the mixed grill, yogurt dip, muhammarah dip, chicken tawouk, grilled octopus, beef sausages, branzino, half chicken, or the cauliflower Tajín. Ask for sliced cucumbers for the dips instead of the pita bread. Avoid the pomegranate sauces as well. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly during the weekend dinner time. Its more of a loungy before heading out to a club or lounge or speakeasy kind of restaurant during those times.
I had a chance to try Laylak yesterday and overall everything was good! The food was excellent, especially the appetizers. The mains were average at best, we tried the mix grill platter- the kebabs were good but the chicken was poorly seasoned. However, the star of the show was our server. I can t remember her name but it was a young Turkish girl. She was extremely kind and attentive and made sure that we had a great birthday party. We were 9 people in total and all of us left extremely satisfied with her service. She made sure that everyone received their drinks, rounds of shots and even split the bill at the end!!! This made everything so much easier for us as a lot of restaurants don t split bills for large groups. I rarely write reviews but especially for a special occasion having a server that went above and beyond made our night!
Not worth the money - this place is definitely overrated. We ordered the mixed grill and the only thing that met the upscale quality standards was the lamb. The flavorless chicken was totally dry and the tiny assortment of roasted veggies were cold (probably prepared a few hours before). The ambience and design of the restaurant gets totally ruined by annoying and irritating guests constantly taking selfies and pictures of everything around them. Service in general was fairly slow and inattentive even though there was sufficient staff. Bottom line: if you want good food at half the price go to one of the many other Middle Eastern restaurants in town. If you want to take pictures and pretend you re hip and don t care about food quality go to Laylak.
Came a few night ago with some friends for my birthday dinner and the atmosphere was incredible. To make it better our server Mayuk was so accommodating and generous. Probably some of the best service I ve experienced in a restaurant. Will definitely be revisiting.
A romantic ambiance and a delightful experience with great Lebanese dishes. The Toronto location is quite convenient for me in the city and very comparable to the Oakville one!
This restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere. The food was so good it reminds me of a home cooked meal. Definitely will be going back.
The amazing food and the beautiful interior and atmosphere make this place perfect! Best Lebanese food in the city!
This place has such a great vibe! Highly recommend if you re looking for good food and friendly staff!
Amazing restaurant, great service and food very high recommended!
Ariana, our stewardess was most friendly organized and efficient helper
Lavishing cuisine, vibe and service. At Laylak its always an enjoyable experience.
Great service and amazing food
Laylak nails authentic Lebanese food with killer shawarma and killer mezze thatll make your taste buds dance. The vibe is cozy, the portions are huge, and everything tastes like its straight from a Lebanese grandmas kitchen. Seriously good eats thatll have you coming back again and again. Absolutely worth the trip.
This place is so beautiful and classy. Our server Ariana is the friendliest server I ve ever met. She made our visit very memorable.
Laylak definitely made my day. I enjoyed the food, atmosphere, service, all of it! Thabk you guys, will definitely come again.
One of the best restaurants I have ever been, amazing food, excellent service and a very relaxing atmosphere
So good
Beautiful ambiance and amazing food and customer service!
We were in Toronto and saw Laylak restaurant, we didn t hesitate to have dinner there as we had a very pleasant experience in their other branch in Oakville.
We had wonderful experience dinning at Laylak. Good service, quality foods and enchanting atmosphere. We will defenitly go again.
Best place to Dine , the service was excellent and staff were very friendly and nice decor. The food was excellent as well . I really recommend this restaurant.
It is beyond description. We had a great time and enjoyed every bite of food. The staff were very friendly.
Had an amazing experience at Laylak Toronto, Talal took care of me and made our night extra special. Will definitely be coming back
Beautiful ambience, service and food. All 10/10
Amazing service annd antmos, as well as delicious food! Recommend to everyone!

What a great experience! The food was absolutely amazing, the ambiance was delightful and the service was impressive.. if you ever have a chance to go to this beautiful establishment ask for a server by the name of Alex! she will make your experience even better.! Food
Great service from Alex and amazing Lebanese food!
Visited from Miami and fell in love with the place! Alex was an amazing waitress, took a proper care of us, explained the menu and made sure we had a great experience
Superb service and excellent dining! The ingredients are fresh, and flavours are bold, and, the cherry on top, is its elegant. The staff is helpful and kind in comparison to others. Highly recommend this place!
Came in after work for a quick bite. Alex could not have been more helpful. Batata Harra was delicious
I had a really good experience thanks to Oleksandra!! Will be coming back! She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menus. Recommend her favorites and it was all 10/10!
Overall, eating at this restaurant was a pleasure from beginning to end. The opulent design makes you feel welcomed and a luxurious atmosphere, the food is impeccable and finely plated. The staff is friendly and inviting. Food is sent out quickly and efficiently without it feeling like it was rushed to serve. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern food.
Loved this restaurant and service! Thank you Alex and Talal!
I had the pleasure of dining here after work recently, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! As soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with such warmth and professionalism. Special shoutout to Alex (I think that was her name??) who made our evening even more special. Her knowledge of the menu and personal recommendations were spot-on. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels like very special. Overall amazing experience here! Would highly recommend
Was here for my sister s birthday, this place is amazing!! The service and food was great and I really enjoyed Tamaring fizz cocktail
Thank you for the wonderful evening, kindness, warmth, and engaging experience Leylak! I had a very warm experience. The food is delicious and so fresh. a must visit place. Food
Took my daughter here for her 18th birthday dinner. Awesome ambiance. Food and service were excellent. Our server was Sue, and she did an amazing job. I would eat here again and I encourage you to check out this restaurant.
Outstanding on all fronts!!! Lebanese hospitality at its best! Food, ambiance and exemplary customer service! Tallal is extremely attentive making your dining experience so memorable that you can t wait to recommend this establishment to anyone who values such quality service. We had the kibbeh nayeh ( tartar) melted in your mouth. Superior quality of meat spiced to perfection. Grilled meat platter is succulent, juicy flavorful skewers of lamb and chicken . Grateful to be reminded that quality food and service are attainable in our city!! Will be returning soon!
The experience was phenomenal from start to finish. My wife and I were here for our anniversary and all courses (from drinks to dessert) were so, so good. Sue was our server and suggested many great options. I highly recommend the Fattoush salad (one of the best salads Ive ever had at a restaurant), the Hummus Tenderloin with fresh baked pita, and the Mixed Grill skewers with perfectly cooked lamb, chicken and beef. We topped it off with Arabic Ice Cream (w Pistachio). I cant recommend this place enough. The ambience, food and overall experience make it a great date/anniversary spot.
Food was incredible! Gorgeous restaurant. Our server Abby was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Disappointment from the moment we walked in. Unwelcoming host. Staff can be more accommodating to us after arriving early for our reservation instead of disappearing and leaving us hanging. Watered down drinks. Average food that is ridiculously overpriced. Insult to injury was the pathetic dessert. So-called cheesecake that is the size of a cookie. The $700 spent for 4 left us agreeing that it was not worth it at all . First time there and definitely the last time. Do better for what you charge.
A deliciously authentic Lebanese dining experience, few and far between in downtown Toronto. Kid-friendliness: Accommodating for many demands, including rush orders and customization to dishes.
Great experience..Mayuk is awesome
10/10 for food, everything was fantastic. Will def be back. Mayuk was exceptional serving us and the Manager Joseph was very accommodating and attentive. Must try !!! Food
Great place, great food, great service! special thanks for Chef Wissam!
$18.50 for still water and the falafel was giving rabba , so sorry nice atmosphere but the service wasn t the best either.
Celebrated our birthday at laylak in Toronto. So happy we chose this location.Ambiance is beautiful. Food is fresh and delicious we tried a bunch of dishes. Sue helped us decide on dishes. Great customer service. Mix grill 10/10 Chicken sheesh towk 10/10 Grilled shrimps 9/10 Grilled octopus 8/10 Freekeh 7/10 We finished off with the yummiest date cake and laylak Millie feulle Thank you for accommodating our big group. Highly recommend this location.
Had a memorable celebration here at laylak Toronto. The food and the ambiance was awesome. Our server sue was very nice and helpful. She recommended wonderful dishes according to our taste. Appetizers were my favourite. I would recommend fattoush, tenderloin, mixed grill, chicken tawook and milli feuille. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available. Parking: Paid parking lot available nearby. Impark
I came to celebrate my birthday and I couldn t make a better choice! Thanks Hossep for your amazing service
Service was impeccable, food was amazing. It s always our go to place especially when we re missing home.
Awesome service and food. The kibbeh nayyeh is hands down the best in the city. Love it here!
Delicious food, great atmosphere and service. Very friendly and welcoming staff!!
Great service!
my friend and i came here for dinner and had the cheese rolls (which were unlike i ve EVER had before), the kefta kabob, and chicken tawouk all of which were delicious. the ambiance was wonderful - the sitting area was super comfy, the lighting was perfect, and the decorations were so cute! also the service was AMAZING. from the person that greeted us at the entrance, the person who waited on us, and Hossep, one of the managers who gave us the decadent mahalabia on the house. thank you all, can t wait to visit again!
Laylak is fantastic. The food and atmosphere are great. Hossep is an extremely welcoming and professional host. Highly recommend.
Laylak is the best restaurant if you want to go and enjoy the Mediterranean food. Hossep is so kind and will help you to choose the best option from the menu. Fancy with amazing vibes!!
My rating: 8.5/10. The best Lebanese food I ve had in Toronto, hands down. The hummus, falafel, and cheesecake were highlights. Kebab and baba ghanoush were also very good. The atmosphere is great, carefully lit and well decorated with a variety of seats and tables, but not too big such that it maintains the personable feeling. Staff were very friendly and provided good recommendations. Location is also great, very central and in a nicely renovated antique building. Perfect place for a date night. I would recommend it for any fans of elegant Lebanese in Toronto, and will certainly be back. Vegetarian options: Lots of good veggie options to choose from, especially in the appetizer and salad sections of the menu. The falafel was a highlight from the entrées, which is of course vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: They can help accommodate dietary restrictions. Kid-friendliness: This wouldn t be my first choice for a kid friendly restaurant. It s got a high-end, somewhat romantic and elegant vibe. Didn t see any kids when I was there. Wheelchair accessibility: The main entrance of the street is up a flight of stairs, so that is not helpful. I didn t see a ramp/elevator entrance, but I wouldn t be shocked if there was another entrance to the building with either, because it is occupied by multiple businesses.
Food was amazing ambiance is exceptional
Food is so delicious and the hospitality is expecinontal
Great restaurant and service
Very nice food, I recommend it for everyone
Very nice restaurant, the service is amazing, it was our two daughters birthday and the food is amazing, they also brought the girls a cute piece of cake, played Happy Birthday song , it was very good experience, highly recommended
I recently celebrated my birthday with my sisters at this amazing restaurant, and it was such a great experience! The ambiance was enchanting. The staff was super attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was incredible! Pure bliss! We left feeling very satisfied about our visit. Highly recommend!
Had a great birthday dinner with a friend, it was on a Sunday so nice and quiet, just no mention of the birthday? I just assumed they would have mentioned it or a complimentary dessert perhaps. The food and the service was great otherwise, highly recommend.
Truly one of a kind! From service to atmosphere to real authentic food. This place has become my wife s and I go to spot! Well done
Very wonderful and excellent service
amazing service amazing food! the kebabs were my fav
Wonderful food and service
The best ever You enjoy every moment while youre there Food : 5/5 |
Amazing food service and atmosphere
Probably the best middle eastern restaurant in Ontario
Everytime I come here I don t regret it. I ve been going regularly to laylak Toronto and Oakville for various occasions and it never disappoints. The food, the service and vibes are always on point and it stays consistent. Highly recommend
Great service. Elegant vibe!!!
The hummus tenderloin has small cubes of undercooked / chewy beef. The Food we got was mostly tasteless. We ordered what our server recommended but wish we hadn t.. The beef cheek has a slow cooked piece of beef good enough for two people to share. The prices are fair given the location / ambiance. The music kept changing volume which was strange. The date cake is worth trying for sure.
If I could give this restaurant 7 stars, I would! Laylak is a jewel in the heart of downtown Toronto. The cuisine is authentic, flavourful, and wholesome. Each plate that we received was carefully crafted and looked so well decorated. I believe the portions are the perfect amount. Most importantly, everything tasted amazing! You have to try the date cake! Now for the ambience: the decor and atmosphere in this venue is so classy and well designed. Even the plates were beautifully designed and matched the decor! It felt open and inviting, and the set up is cleverly designed to fill a large group of people very comfortably. Most importantly, the restaurant is clean and spotless. The guests, including myself, looked genuinely happy. Which brings me to one of the most important facets of upscale dining, and that is the hospitality. We were greeted by a very kind and friendly host who brought us to our table with a genuine smile. Our server was so polite and so patient, and took the time to explain menu items. And last but certainly not least, the Owner Yousef and the Manager Hossep took the effort to check in with us and introduce themselves. Such polite and upstanding gentlemen! You rarely see this type of quality and hospitality! A big thank you to the entire team at Laylak for an unforgettable experience!
Beautiful place, great food and service . Will com more times for sure!
What an experience! Great customer service and delicious Middle Eastern food
I had a wonderful time , such a great experience , honestly this is the best Lebanese restaurant in Toronto , from service to vibe to tasty authentic food , I highly recommend it
Host Benson and server Nadel were simply amazing. Great night from every aspect. Thank you.
This place absolutely lives up to the hype. Laylak is an incredible dining experience. Every dish was perfection. Hossep was our server and really added to an already phenomenal evening. I will be recommending this place to everyone.
The food is amazing, and the portions are generous! Big shoutout to Sanaa for the excellent customer service and attention to detail. I definitely recommend this place for authentic Lebanese food!
Everything from food to ambience was excellent.

We had an amazing experience with the chef s special menu, and found the service to be beautiful as well as the atmosphere. The food was amazing and we will definitely be coming back.
Gorgeous decor, amazing food & the sweetest hosts!!!

Food is amazingly delicious! Staff is so friendly and nice! We loved it here!!

Delicious food, amazing vibe and stunning decor! Can t wait to go back
Great experience overall! The food was great and the service was pleasant! Would def want to go back to this location!!! Food
Review edited to remove one star. Still think that the ambience is excellent but I came for brunch and found the service was not quite as good as dinner with a few items being missed from our order and the the quality and quantity of food was not as varied and delicious as dinner. It did not seem that they were as busy so I dont think that that was the concern . Im unsure if its just a brunch problem. Original review below Had an incredible experience here for dinner. Food is fresh, bursting with flavour and plentiful. Chefs selection was a delightful feast at an exceptionally reasonable price. The only hiccup in that menu is both dessert options are puddings and the caraway/fennel flavored one is very strong and more savory than expected. Left stuffed with lots of leftovers to take home of dips and mains. The service was very good considering the place was packed for a thunderstormy weeknight. Abdullah in particular was an absolute rockstar, making drinks, taking orders, clearing tables and even escorting guests to their cars in the rain with an umbrella and a smile. Will definitely be back with friends and family.
Excellent food and service for dinner! Second time here. Will keep coming back! Mix grill and dip trio was amazing and cooked to perfection! Piero service was amazing! Thank you!
Has to be the best place for Lebanese cuisine. Im coming back.
Best food ever so tasty
If youre searching for an unforgettable dining experience, Lebanese restaurant this is your place to go. no further than The From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance wraps around you, setting the perfect mood. The decor is a delightful mix of modern elegance, complete with soft lighting and music that complements, not overwhelms. The service is impeccable. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the expansive menu with genuine enthusiasm. Each recommendation proved to be a culinary delight. We started with the Lebanese appetizers humos and muhamara with fresh bread, a vibrant dish that balanced earthy flavors with a creamy labne dressing. My favoritewas the kbbe , almost perfection and served with seasonal vegetables that burst with freshness. Finally, the dessert was amazing Overall, exquisite Lebanese food, attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere to create a dining experience you wont soon forget. Highly recommended for any food lover! --- Feel free to customize any part of it!
Food was delicious! Hossep was phenomenal. First time coming to Laylak for a birthday and can t wait to come back!
Laylak Lebanese Cuisine in Toronto delivered a fantastic experience! The Cauliflower Tajin appetizer was flavorful, the Mixed Grill for two was perfectly seasoned, and the falafel was crisp and delicious. Don t miss the Lebanese red wine which was the perfect pairing! Strongly advised. Food
Amazing experience! Everyone was so kind and sweet. Everyone took amazing care of us!
Amazing food and service. Benson was absolutely professional throughout the whole night
I went to Laylak tonight with some friends had the best time.
Excellent Service and amazing food and best service from talal.

Excellent food and service loved each and every dish. The atmosphere is really nice as well. Highly recommended!! Food : 5/5
Great food and amazing service! Will definitely come back !!
Amazing food, great service, just a great experience all around. Hossep was great.
Our host Talal went above and beyond and made my group s experience amazing. We got the lamb tenderloin, chicken tawouk, hummus, fries, rice and the Laylak mocktail. All were amazing! Unfortunately they changed the beef tenderloin to lamb, which was the sole reason I returned to Laylak, which was disappointing to hear. Talal s service was amazing as well as the other servers who ensured our glasses were always topped up, available and around for assistance and checked up on us. A member of my group does not do well with lamb (texture, smell, etc) and they had no problem taking back the tenderloin and switching it out for another dish. Our host kindly gave us the toffee/caramel cake on the house and is a must for all caramel lovers. Love the ambiance; music isn t too loud and lighting is not too dark. Thanks Laylak s team.
INCREDIBLE food, service, and vibe. Best food and hospitality I ve had in years. Have been hoping to come here for months and finally came so glad I did. Highly recommend!
Brings a good middle eastern style reminds me of food from there and it spoils you, you won t leave hungry!
Absolutely delicious food. The staff are very friendly and service is fast. Amal used to be my favorite lebanese restaurant in Toronto, but this one honestly topped it!! Kebbe nayye is a mist, tabouli is great and tenderloin hummus yum!!
Everything was absolutely delicious. The service, the food, the vibes. As a Lebanese, I am very picky when choosing Lebanese food, and I loved the adventure in flavor. The tabbouli has a secret ingredient and it leaves you wanting more. I ate the whole plate, lol. It was my first and will definitely not be my last.
Amazing food and service. They accommodated our group well.
Delicious Food, Must-Go Lebanese Restaurant in Toronto! Thank you Hossep for the great service!
Amazing service!
Mayuk who was our server as well as the manager took really good care of us and catered to all our needs. The overall ambience and food quality was fantastic. I came here for a birthday celebration and will definitely be coming here again in the future,
My first time here. Enjoyed every bit (bite) of it. Benson is an amazing host. Will come back again for sure. Food

The flavors were well-balanced, and each dish was expertly prepared. From the appetizers to the dessert, every bite was a treat. Mayuks excellent service truly enhanced the meal, making it a memorable dining experience overall.
The food was excellent and the portions were generous! I will definitely come back. Impeccable service from Mayuk.
Amazing ambience, food was fantastic and Mayuk took really good care of us will definitely be back!
Hands down one of the best restaurants I have tried. The service was unreal small little details that you won t even think about they took care of. Perfect for a date night or to celebrate with your loved ones. The food was to die for!!!
Beautiful restaurant with unique Lebanese dishes reinvented. The cocktails were amazing and light. We started with the dip trio, 2 appetizers, 1 main, and 1 dessert which felt like the perfect amount of food for 2 people. The pita bread is mad in house and served hot and fresh. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options on the menu.
The best Lebanese cuisine restaurant in Toronto by far...outstanding service by the manager Hossep. Thanks.
Love love love! It was an expensive meal but oh so delicious, we ended up ordering a few appetizers, and mains and the cheese rolls, trio dips, and lamb tenderloin was amazing. The dessert was a Mille feuille! Delicious!
The entire experience was exceptional, with a welcoming and professional atmosphere. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Benson, who went above and beyond to assist me. His kindness, attentiveness, and helpful nature truly enhanced the overall experience.
The food here is absolutely delicious! The service is top tier as well. The manager always introduces himself and has a small and friendly conversation with guests. I highly recommend this restaurant as well as their Oakville location. My food suggestion would be to try their Labneh, as they have a unique take on it.
This is truly the best restaurant in the city, everything from the food to the atmosphere! On top of that, the management is very exceptional. Our party was greated by the manager and the operations manager and they were beyond welcoming and made sure our service and the food was to our liking. We ll be visiting frequently!
Been to this restaurant several times. The atmosphere, the service, the food and the hospitality is top tier. I recommend the restaurant to all my friends and family! Best Middle Eastern restaurant in Ontario by far!
Food and service is amazing! I would def come back again :)

Benson was a great host and helped us with booking, seating and service. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. Thank you so much Fouzia Vegetarian options: The vegetarian option were good but limited ( falafel only) it would be great if some vegetables only dishes could be added. Otherwise everything else was superb.

Hands down best food, cocktails and staff in Toronto
Laylak offers an incredible experience for a celebration, date night, or excellent meal shared between friends. The food is fantastic, the service attentive without being obtrusive, and the vibes immaculate. Do yourself a favor and come prepared to try a little bit of everything accompanied by a cocktail and glass of Lebanese red.
We visited this place for the first time trying to get just some drinks, didn t have a reservation but the hostess was very kind and she accommodated us at the bar immediately. We had 4 delicious cocktails (The Phoenix our favourite) and two hot appetizers (Cheese Rolls, delicious) that were just great! Zubin the bartender was very caring and attentive, you can tell that he enjoys what he does . This place has amazing decor and ambiance. We really enjoyed our time in there!

Laylak has easily become a favorite of DT Toronto on first taste! Staff are super friendly, and the food is beyond delicious. The fatoush salad is the best Ive ever had (coming from a middle eastern, that says a lot). Hossep, the manager was so lovely and kind, and he was very attentive to guests needs. We had a lovely evening, thank you Hossep. Cant wait to come back!
Great atmosphere, excellent food, amazing people! Highly recommend!
I celebrated my birthday at Laylak and I loved it so much! We had a large reservation and the team was so welcoming and accommodating! The food was amazing and my guests all complimented the food and want to come back! We did the prix fixe menu of 95$ pp and it was the best choice ever due to the variety of dishes. The cheese rolls are a must have and the Muhammara too! We had two people with allergies in the table and the server made sure to give them the best experience and accommodate to their needs. 10/10 would be back
Wow, wow, wow! Perfect place for any special occasion! We celebrated my son s birthday and it was such a special time for the family to come together over food and lovely ambience. They even played my favourite songs! Make sure to get everything from the mezze options delicious!
Exceptional Middle Eastern Experience at Laylak Lebanese Restaurant During our recent trip to Toronto from Glasgow, Scotland, we visited Laylak after researching Middle Eastern and Persian cuisine, and it quickly became one of our favorite meals. As a chef with 35 years of experience, having dined in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, my expectations were high and Laylak truly impressed. We had the chefs tasting menu along with some of their signature cocktails, and everything was superb. The meal started strong with fluffy pita bread and outstanding hummus. Other highlights were the flavorful Mohamarah and the creamy Labneh bel Toum. While the Tabouli salad was just okay, the mains were exceptional. The Chicken Tawouk and Kefta kebab were grilled to perfection, and we enjoyed them alongside leftover dips like baba ghanoush, hummus, and Mohamarah. Special mention to Sue, our server, who made the experience even better. She explained each dish with enthusiasm and expertise, sharing how the Grape Leaves with rice, pomegranate molasses, and parsley reminded her of home cooking. Her positivity and passion for the food added a personal touch to the meal, making it even more memorable. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. All in all, Laylak ranks as one of my top dining experiences, offering an authentic taste of the Middle East in the heart of Toronto. If we re ever back in Toronto, we ll definitely be dropping by for another meal. Highly recommended!
Amazing service and food!
As a Lebanese person this is the place to be for the most authentic food and staff. Will be back as soon as possible! Thank you for the beautiful interior and delicious authentic Lebanese food !!
We had a wonderful dinner experience to close our vacation in Toronto. The food was fantastic and we he service outstanding. Our waitress Sue was excellent, despite she was attending several large tables.
