First visit to this new addition to the Yonge Lawrence area. Clean and bright inside with an open kitchen. We elected to sit outside on one of the four tables they have. It was great on a warm sunny day. The Greek salad was quite good. Both the falafel in pita and the chicken in a pita sandwiches were served with a large amount of sauces (Amba, Hummus, Tahini, Zhug) that made the sandwiches way too wet and rather difficult to eat. They completely fell apart. In spite of all the sauces, the sandwiches were still quite bland. The service was very good.

We loved every dish. So much thought goes into balancing the flavours and executing each dish to be delicious. The restaurant is also beautiful inside and we will definitely dine in soon.

Wow ... we are completely impressed. The food is delicious. The customer service is impeccable! After food was missed from our order, without question or delay the restaurant corrected our order plus sent a complimentary dish. Very impressed. We without a doubt will order/visit Limon again!

The service and some dishes (e.g the falafel sandwich and the grilled chiken) were good. I am just extremely dissapointed at the Baba Ganoush. How can someone dare to offer a Baba Ganoush full of regular mayo? I just ate the sweatest and unhealtiest Baba Ganoush I have had in my whole life.
Fantatsic food. Portions are delicious and enormous.

I was so thrilled to see an east-end favourite of mine make its way uptown, to midtown, now more conveniently located to me! What's there to be said about Limon, which is now a well-established culinary force in the city, that already hasn't been... When you dine here, you can rest assured you're getting the highest-quality product prepared fresh to order each time, absolutely bursting with flavour and texture. The hummus is, no exaggeration, the very best I've had *anywhere* on this globe, the fried cauliflower, an absolute epiphany, their grilled skewers, satisfying in the most primal way, the steak and or schnitzel on a baguette, there to satiate the biggest appetite in the most delectable way, their lentil soup, nourishing balsam for my soul, their deserts, decadence defined... And that's just the stuff that immediately comes to mind- there is genuinely not a single even mediocre item on the entire menu. Oh, and lest we forget their occasional specials- whatever you went in for, forget about, it'll be there next time, just trust me and order the darn special, whatever it is; it's always dynamite. Staff/service is always so incredibly friendly and authentic + personable, atmosphere is wonderful, joyous, and super lively, with great music always pumping through their system. I couldn't be happier to see this favourite of mine now just a 10-15 minute drive from me- a really welcome addition to the area, where this kind of cuisine isn't represented to this high a level.

Food was fresh and flavourful generous portions. Meats were cooked well. Maître d’ was pleasant and helpful. Waitress was slow to followup beyond initial order, perhaps because we didn’t order drinks.

Almost every table gets a dip and while the typical babaganoush and hummus are available, the eggplant and pepper dip ($9) intrigued me. Starting with a base of roasted eggplant, slivers of quickly smoked pepper and raw celery & onion are mixed in, so the dip is creamy and crunchy. As a babaganoush lover, I thoroughly enjoyed this version! Without tahini the dip is lighter and brighter.
Still their bababanoush ($9) is good with large chunks of eggplant and tons of tahini turning it creamy. It's just a touch sweet for me.
For the carb conscious, the dips arrive without a pita ($1.50), so you won’t be tempted. I wanted one with the eggplant and pepper… it’s your regular run-of-the-mill thick pocketed pita.
It's remarkable how much they can stuff in a pita. You'll need to unhinge your jaw to bite into lamb kefta in a pita ($18), the ground meat kebab juicy and each bite bringing different flavours. The bites with their zesty and slightly spicy amba sauce are my favourite and despite the abundance of onion, they're well soaked so the acidity is removed and a crunchy sweetness remains.
Their sandwiches arrive solo but is enough to satisfy. The price for a side of French fries ($11) is a bit steep but it's a huge portion, enough to share amongst three.
The beef shish kabob ($30) was a tad chewy but at least cooked well and perfectly seasoned and not overly salty. I recommend upgrading to their Greek salad ($4 supplement), a village style version containing large chunks of juicy ripe tomato, crunchy cucumber, briny creamy feta, and onions. Limon augments the salad with roasted red paper and capers adding a savoury smoky element that’s delicious.
If you’re in the mood for beef, order the strip steak ($34) instead. It’s less grizzly and you get a sizeable portion of meat cooked to your liking.
With three pieces of fish arriving in the roasted rainbow trout ($30), this is a shareable main. It's well cooked with crispy skin and tender meat and simply topped with onions and pomegranate seeds.
Having visited on three occasions, the sole visit the restaurant wasn't full was during a weekday lunch. And when it gets busy the ordering and paying process slows down as Limon creates a bottleneck by flowing both operations into one person, who I assume is the manager. Despite a number of workers, they seem to focus on serving, refilling water, and cleaning up. If you ask one to take an order or pay, the request gets redirected to the manager. What an odd way to slow down table turnover at a restaurant.
Warning: the tightly packed tables create a loud ambient noise at the restaurant. It’s a bit much at first, but as the meal progresses, I tuned it out. When the weather’s nice and they open the front windows, it almost feels like you’re sitting al fresco somewhere a bit more exotic than Midtown Toronto. A beautiful meal indeed.
Chicken pita was a 10/10 highly recommend
