Aya Lebanese restaurant

We came here to celebrate a birthday and had high hopes given the good reviews found online. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely poor. To start, the service was painfully slow despite the restaurant only being half full on a Friday evening. There were several issues that we face. From our waiter not putting in our order for our mains quickly after appetizers arrived leaving a gap of over 45 minutes between courses, to bringing out a wrong meal (which he comped), the experience was quite frustrating. Not to mention the food itself which was absolutely not worth the price tag. The Fattouch was nothing to write home about, the grape leaves too densely stuffed, and the lamb was not prepared well and had an overly gamey flavor that indicates a prep issue. Well-cleaned lamb shouldn't taste like that. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Our waiter did apologize profusely which was appreciated but we cannot, in good faith, recommend this restaurant to anyone considering all the issues encountered. Even if he did a great job, the food itself is nothing impressive considering the price.

We were welcomed back like family and service is always top notch. They serve the best Syrian/ Lebanese food . We sat outside on the terrace which is enclosed . They recently bought all new outdoor furniture so it elevates the ambiance. Now I don't feel like I'm eating in a parking lot . Was wonderful all around .

Outstanding food. Noah our host was awesome! Would highly recommend as a great culinary experience. Thanks!

Very fancy and very good food. A bit on the pricey side but it’s a fancy restaurant and we loved it. Would definitely go back again!

✨ A real hidden treasure in the West Island!
We discovered Aya Lebanese and what a nice surprise! During our visit, it was quiet. The decor is neat, the welcome warm, and the service impeccable. The waiter was attentive and gave very good advice to guide us in the choice of dishes.
It’s the kind of address that no one talks about… but which deserves to be known! We will come back, for sure!

Our first time at this restaurant did not disappoint. Excellent recommendations from our knowledgeable server. Tasty and well presented dishes. We will come back. We loved the hummus with beef tenderloin, the rose water crème brûlée and the mint tea.

✨ Un véritable trésor caché dans le West-Island ! Nous avons découvert Aya Lebanese et quelle belle surprise ! Lors de notre passage, c'était tranquille. Le décor est soigné, l'accueil chaleureux, et le service impeccable. Le serveur était attentif et de très bons conseils pour nous guider dans le choix des plats. C'est le genre d'adresse dont personne ne parle... mais qui mérite d'être connue ! Nous reviendrons, c'est certain !

I had a wonderful experience with the amazing service and delicious food. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the start. If you're planning a large event, I highly recommend this establishment.

Ambiance is good, service not bad. Too pricey, nothing special about the food.Tried $59 per person platter, definitely not worth $120+tax+tip!!

We had the pleasure of experiencing their Valentine’s Day tasting menu, and it was, without a doubt, the finest Lebanese cuisine my wife and I have ever had. The service was impeccable, and each dish was thoughtfully composed, achieving a perfect balance of flavors. Nothing was overpowering or out of place—just a harmonious blend of acidity, rich yet well-balanced fats, and a subtle touch of sweetness to conclude the meal. We will certainly be returning.

Kid-friendliness: Saw quite a few kids there enjoying a meal with their families at large round tables.
