First time at Balila, a new Lebanese breakfast place in Laval north of Montreal…read more Service was quick. We came in without reservation and we were seated without any delay. We tried the foul (fava beans), fatteh, lahm b ajin, fried eggs with tomato. All were delicious and made to perfection. When we're done eating, the server offered us a dessert on the house. It included halawit el jibn and ousmalieh in addition to riz b halib and jello. The place is not that large but it can probably fit about 100 people. Fairouz songs were playing in the background bringing back memories of homeland. It was a great experience. Will definitely come back again to try other items on the menu.

Servers are very nice and they kept check in. The ambiance is welcoming and they have nice murals around. Their "foul salad" is so good and very well seasoned. The Fatayer is super thin and nice (maybe too thin lol) their fatteh is good and so was their grilled cheese. Overall it was a pleasant meal and if you are in the area it's a nice spot to check out

The restaurant has two levels, with the upper level overseeing the lower one. We walked in without a reservation and they accommodated us (party of 7). Very professional staff to say the least. They offer food by both a menu and per person formula, where you can pick a salad (tabbouleh or fattoush), two cold mezza, two hot mezza, 4 skewers of grilled meat of either filet mignon, chicken kafta, beef kafta, or shish taouk, and a dessert, all for two people for 60 Canadian dollars per person. You can pick any combination of skewers, cold mezza and hot mezza. Food came quickly. Everything was perfectly prepared, from the mezza to the grilled meat on charcoal, and finally the dessert. Will come back later for sure.

Unfortunately three of the items we wanted to try were not available (shrimp, brussel sprouts and baklava ice cream), so we had hummus, hummus with meat, and cauliflower, all excellent. Then came the two orders of kibbeh balls. These were the worst we have ever had. The kibbeh balls were overcooked and dry, so much so that we couldn't cut them with a knife or hold them with a fork. This left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Despite returning them, the owner agreed to not charge us for only one of the orders. Still, we had to pay for an order that we couldn't eat. Our main meal, grilled chicken and beef brochette, was dry and very overcooked. Another big disappointment. For desert, we had the Kanafeh with Pistachio Cream, and that was addictive and a great way to end an average meal. Will not be returning, except for coffee and desert.

I went with the Lahmajin which consist of a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat, minced vegetables and herbs including onions, tomatoes and parsley as well as the Za'atar manakeesh which consists of thyme, sesame seeds and the sumac spice. Both were fantastic! Why? Well, they prepared it right in front of me, popped it in the oven for a few minutes then rolled it up NICE AND WARM into my eager hands. The Za'atar was good, the Lahmajin was out of this world good. The price tag? About 2 bucks each... and they were pretty fulfilling. They sell packs of 6 for $10, this is a steal of a deal! I looked around while waiting and the prices were phenomenal. How is there not a line-up out of the door for this? There's even about 15 seats to enjoy your meal....
