One of the best tawook sandwiches I’ve had in Canada. The flavour, freshness, and quality instantly reminded me of authentic Lebanese cuisine. From the first bite, I felt like I was back in Lebanon enjoying the rich and traditional flavours that Lebanese food is known for.
The tawook was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and made with high-quality ingredients. Every bite reflected the care and authenticity that went into preparing it.
The service was also excellent—friendly, welcoming, and professional. Thank you to the team for the wonderful food and great hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true Lebanese food experience.

Great place for Middle Eastern food with fantastic flavors and fair prices. Never disappointed. Highly recommend.
Really great ambience with the brick oven serving fresh hot pitas. Has quite a few vegetarian items in the menu. We ordered -
1. Cream of Mushroom soup -9/10
2. Fattoush Salad - 7.5/10
3. Basil Hummus - 8.5/10
4. Beetroot Hummus - 7/10
5. Classic Hummus - 6.5/10
6. Falafel - 9/10
7. Zaatar bread - 8/10
8. Garlic Labneh - 7/10
9. Lebanese Coffee - 7/10
Prices were steep for the quantity and quality served. Also, I remember from my last visit they used to serve Pitas for free with the hummus at no extra cost. However, now they've started charging a dollar after 1/2 pitas per hummus.
Overall, fairly decent experience but pricey.
Restaurant closes at 9 PM. Attended just before 8 PM. Oven had been turned off for flatbreads. Asked if Zataar spice could be made available for Pita. Server explained that pizza oven operator had gone home and that spices were locked away and unavailable. Server then proceeded to warm up pita in the same pizza oven that was supposedly closed. Main issue is large chunk of the menu unavailable before closing.

Took me 10 minutes to get the attention of the server who was God knows where. Never seen a restaurant charge so much for the food and then charge for one piece of extra bread for the hummus.
Also you are not entitled to any tip rather it is the will of the customer whether he tips or not. Server Paul unfortunately doesn't know the difference which is why he rudely commented ‘Oh’ when i skipped the tipping option on the machine and didn't even bother to respond to me saying thank-you. Ignored the customer entirely after that. This sort of entitled experience along with the over priced food ruined it all. Lost a customer today. Lucky for me I have lots of other, much better options.

Really wanted to like this place but the food was dull and the price is about 50% more than other Middle Eastern restaurants so close by (we thought the rent in this plaza might just be so high that they have to charge accordingly). The food was just was just so basic, too few items/flavors on the plate and everything seemed dry.
Lovely staff though, nice ambiance.

Tried Yasmine's for a work event lunch. The service and food were very good. It has a simple but warm atmosphere and decent amount of seating. Only been there once which is why it receives 4/5 for Food. If after multiple visits with other dishes being as good as the this first visit, I would increase that rating.

The ambiance and decor were great—definitely the highlight of the place. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match.
I ordered a chicken shawarma with rice, and it was completely cold and didn’t taste fresh. I asked the server to warm it up, but after a few minutes, another cold plate was brought out.
For a $25 meal, I expect something hot and fresh. Because of this experience, I didn’t leave a tip, and the server’s reaction felt dismissive and unprofessional, which made things even worse.

We went to this restaurant for lunch with my spouse and child, but unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience. I wish the quality of the food and service matched the nice atmosphere. The decor is beautiful, but the food was not good at all.
We ordered beef and chicken. The prices are higher than many good restaurants in London, yet the quality was far below expectations. The rice tasted old, and the chicken was served cold. Serving food at the proper temperature is one of the most basic standards of a good restaurant, and this was clearly not met.
Overall, very disappointing and not worth the price.

The service was amazing, very knowledgeable about the menu. Mushroom soup was refreshing and not heavy. We will be back.

This place is fantastic. The food is well-cooked, super tasty, and made of fresh ingredients. The service is excellent. Lynn, our server, provided high-quality service. The pitas are freshly baked and piping hot with great texture. If this place was open in Toronto it would be one of the best!

We 4 shared a Sunday lunch. We 2 had never been before our friends often order take away. The menu is extensive with Lebanese and some French dishes. Staff were friendly and helpful, dishes were ample and tasty, wine list, while simple, hit all the right spots. I appreciate the simplicity of the dishes and there's so many to try. We 2 shared several dips and starters. There's a covered patio with umbrellas which would be great in the summer. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back again. Many thanks!

Way too over priced for what you get. Ordered the shish tawook main - came with with 2 skewers of chicken and Costco fries.. no vegetables whatsoever. Extremely sad plate for $30. Also ordered the dip trio - you get about 2 tablespoons of 3 dips for $20. Also crazy that they charge for bread! The garlic sauce was overwhelmingly salty. Tired of these places nickel and diming their customers and thinking they can charge astronomical prices for less than subpar food.
