Lebanon Express — Restaurant in Toronto

We stopped by Lebanon Express to grab a quick lunch to-go as it was near our hotel. There is a fantastic selection of freshly made foods available to choose from. The service was good although a little hurried even though there was no one behind us in line. The prices were good for the amount of food received. Do yourself and your taste buds a favor and check it out!

I chose the falafel plate with a choice of three salads, plus two veggie samosas. We weren’t starving and this ended up being a fair amount for the two of us to share. The salad selection was amazing. Unfortunately, nothing was labeled as I would have loved to have known what they were, but there were so many brightly colored and delicious looking options to choose from.

We had a potato and sautéed vegetable salad (warm), which was a little disappointing and the only thing I wasn’t wild about. We were kind of hurried through the line so the gentleman helping us suggested this and I just said sure, but I wish I hadn’t. The other two salads we had were so much better. One was a PHENOMENAL kale salad with apples and cranberries, in a DIVINE vinaigrette dressing. Honestly one of the best salads I’ve ever eaten. The third was also excellent, with tomatoes and other veggies in a light dressing. All of this came with some fun pickled vegetables like red onion and cucumbers, and a few delicious sauces.

The falafel was delicious and well-made, as were the samosas, which were served with delicious hummus. Everything we tried, except the warm potato and vegetable option, was excellent. The flavors were amazing, and everything was fresh. I would highly recommend stopping by Lebanon Express, and if you do, PLEASE get the kale...

Stumbled upon this amazing hole in wall this evening while scouting for late night restaurants near the hotel I am staying. It's truly a gem of Toronto. I'll fall short on words when I say how friendly, courteous and generous the staff was at the restaurant. I have tried innumerous upscale restaurants here in Toronto during my professional and personal visits over the years. This restaurant by far will always stand out among the most memorable experiences of Toronto. The staff is immediately inviting. They make an effort to connect with you as a human and not just a returning customer. Despite their extrordinarily busy counter, they took the time and effort to ask abt my well being late into the night and on an unexpectedly chilly May night. They offered me and SERVED me many of their delicacies. They don't expect a tip but how could I leave without a generous tip at the counter. The food besides customer service demands its own separate food review. But here it is: The food is beyond mouth watering, beyond sumptuous and beyond "variety". Food is all of it and more. I will be visiting this Toronto's gem in future. Kudos to the staff working so late and hard into the night with passion, enthusiasm and love for their work. My heartfelt congratulations to the owners of the facility. The world is a better place because of such people with a beautiful heart. A heartfelt thank you from a short-term visitor of Toronto. You made my trip all the more worthwhile. All the best for running a successful business with a heart. I give...
