Also my stomach was super upset after eating this so theres a clear hygiene issue too. On top of the bad food the service was so bad. One guy working one dude just watching him. But the one guy whos working was just talking to his friend who was sitting at a table while he made our food. Save your money and health.

Stopped by for an impromptu dinner shortly after a comedy show. It was around 7pm and the…read morerestaurant was pretty full. We managed to snag the last available table for the evening as I saw other patrons attempt to dine in and were told the wait is long. I used to work in the area and would constantly walk by the two restaurants but given my timings, they were always closed. Pomegranate had been on my bucket list for a very long time. Luckily I managed to do just that and the experience was very pleasant. Both the food and the service were excellent. I had the lamb shank, which melted off the bone from tenderness, accompanied by an aromatic rice and salad. Also ordered Fesenjaan, which was incredibly tasty! They had a limited menu available on the day that we went. I will for sure return just for the Fesenjaan. It's flavour profile was out of this world. The restaurant is nicely decorated too. You can tell it's a busy and popular spot. Highly recommend reserving in advance.

The zaatar and cheese manakeesh was VERY salty, the cheese rolls were oily and too salty, the foul was straight up just beans with canned tomatoes and some fresh tomato chunks sprinkled on top, it did not resemble foul and was just not edible, and the koshary was so gross I actually could not swallow it, never tasted whatever flavour that was in koshary in my entire life, it was so wrong I can't even start to explain what was wrong with it. Not sure what is going on with this restaurant but never ordering from them again, it is actually really disappointing that this place can operate like this, giving such a poor name to Arabic food.

This is an Indian fusion food stall in the Hangout Street food court, their second in Toronto…read more Their claim to fame is fusion poutine. They also sell wraps, hotdogs, burgers, and fries. They take tastes from around the world and put it in their poutine, wraps, hotdogs, and burgers! The regular poutine costs $6.99, $7.99, and $8.99, depending on the size. If you want proteins (like Butter Chicken, Bacon Daddy, Crispy Chicke, Jerk Chicken) on the poutine, you pay and extra $3.49, $5.49, and $6.49, depending on the size. Note that these prices are not listed on the menu; I told them to list the additional charges there, and they promised to do so. We ordered the following: 1. Classic Poutine (small $6.99). 2. Butter Chicken Poutine (small $10.48). My son ate the entire Classic Poutine. He loved it! I asked for the Butter Chicken not to be covered until after I took photos. The chef made it look prettier with some fries sticking out around the circumference of the round container. Not only did it look more presentable, but it also allowed me to try the fries on its own, after I took my time taking photos and videos. The fries where not soaked in the butter chicken sauce so I could actually taste the excellent quality of the fries; they were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, and best of all, not greasy! The chicken were diced into small pieces. The sauce was excellent. I must come back to try their wraps (like Sweet Thai Chicken and Peri-Peri) and their burgers (like Smash and Italian Sausage). There are also daily combo specials. These provide decent savings. For example, for Friday's special, if you bought them individually, it would cost $16.48, but the combo costs $11.99. This food stall opened on 2024-04-22. There is no free WiFi. The food stall is wheelchair accessible. There are no washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-084

I highly recommend their foie gras, salt-grilled fish EUROBASS-EN-CROÛTE, and steak ! I forgot to…read moretake a picture of the foie gras, but it was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the grilled pineapple helped cut through the richness. The grilled fish is a must-order at almost every table; it had no fishy taste at all and was delicious. The steak was Jacob's dry-aged steak; you can't go wrong with their steaks.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: We had our office holiday dinner here and 15 people attended. We did a set menu which had 3 courses. The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes! Note: Some of my pics of the main dishes didn't turn out so it's mostly desserts that are pictures

In between our appetizers and main, they cleaned our table and gave us new plates. Felt nice.

Overall the meals were good, but about average. We found them to be a little heavy, like they were missing a sweet acidic sauce to lift and lighten the dish.

The food was good, the service was great, it didn't break the bank, but we feel there's room for improvement.
