We decided to go by Lebanese garden to try the place because of the many great reviews and it looked like a lovely place for dinner.
The place is lovely. It's really nice and welcoming and so are the staff. Ordering is a little different where you walk up to counter to order and the staff bring the food to the table. The staff are friendly and helpful in ordering.
We tried a number of dishes - starting with the ijja patties, then had the chicken shawarma, the felafel platter and then a variety of desserts.
I personally had the chicken shawarma which was delicious. This is not quite a traditional shawarma in that there are bigger chunks of chicken, lots of sauce and a healthy portion of meat! The wrap is delicious and had a mix of garlic, hummus, tahini and spicy sauce.
For the side I ordered garlic potatoes and these were incredible! They seemed more like roasted potatoes that had a nice garlic flavour without being too strong. The potatoes were nicely crisp on the outside but soft and warm inside.
At first glance, the felafel platter was a tad disappointing in that there were only three. But there's a healthy helping of two hearty salads here that still make the whole meal quite filling. I think by itself this whole meal is well worth the cost especially since it is on the healthy side.
The baklava here is good. They have a healthy portion of nuts but at this point I was so full my brain wasn't registering the taste of the food.
At the end of the meal we were offered traditional black tea which was excellent. Such a nice pairing with dessert and a nice way to settle your digestive system. I loved it.
Overall a good spot for a nice meal but this is not a traditional shawarma spot and the food while good is not going to hit the spot of you're looking for an authentic middle eastern food experience. (Based on my...
Read moreLebanese Garden catered my wedding last month and were hands-down the best decision we made in the planning process.
The staff and owner went above and beyond: they arranged the rentals, spent time and energy ensuring we could accommodate several guests who had severe allergies, and the amazing team of staff came onsite three days in a row to handle setup, tear down, the preparation and service of the food, and cake cutting (at no extra fee, which many caterers charge at weddings). Our venue was on Toronto Island, which posed many logistical challenges, but the staff were highly experienced and unfazed, making sure that we felt completely supported. They even brought their own supplies to decorate the buffet table to complement the decor at the venue!
Over a month later, our loved ones are still talking about the incredible quality of the food and the genuine kindness of the staff. I cannot overstate how wonderful they were to work with, how amazing the food was, and they were able to pull off a truly delicious, fresh, healthy and colourful feast for almost 100 people at a fraction of the cost a big-box wedding caterer would charge for a sad beef wellington or dried-out chicken breast with arugula salad.
Thank you to the amazing team for an unforgettable experience, particularly Mona, Khitam, Bekai, and Maryam—you made us feel...
