   The pistachio lamb chops were my only let down. Lacked flavor, the only real flavor you can taste is the beets and the pickled onions on the side. For $50 i expected there to be a side with the order but it was only the small pieces of lamb. As well as some pieces were surprisingly extremely hard to chew. Otherwise, the grape leaves were delicious and perfectly sour. The fatoush salad was also delicious and the veggie kibbeh was good. The kofta burger was also super flavorful and the Phoenician fries were amazing and packed with flavor. Overall good experience, wish the service was a bit faster.

   To me, this place is overrated, the service was so slow, and the food was ok but dessert ( sponge cake) was terrible.

   The food was excellent; we had an assortment of classic Lebanese appetizers (hummus, baba ganoush, labneh) and they were truly next level in terms of taste. Main was Shish Tawook, also excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. We loved it all overall and will definitely be back.

   My husband and I went to try this place on our much needed date night as we are new parents. We waited 40 minutes without our drinks or apps. No one even acknowledged us to let us know things are on their away, apologize for the delay or anything. When we decided it was best to leave, it seemed like our waiter hadn’t even punched in our drinks. I’ve never left a restaurant because of service. This was the worst experience ever.

   This was the best restaurant we’ve been to in awhile where every dish was exceptional. Highly recommend the trio of dips with the homemade pita as well as the shish tawouk.

   Going to Fairouz is a guarantee that you will enjoy a fabulous meal! The portions are generous and everything tastes wonderful. Most recently, I shared the Phoenician fries, the fried cauliflower, hummus with pulled lamb (so good!), and the beef kibbeh (seasoned with spices that reminded me of a really good "tourtière", which was unexpected, but lovely). The service is also top-notch. I've been to Fairouz three times and every time, it's been such a great experience!

   When we entered everything went well as usual and we were seated inside the restaurant as requested.Arabic music and ambiance were pleasant. When the waiter asked us to order, we were not ready to order yet and asked him for a few minutes. Unfortunately, it took 15 minutes and no one took our order and we were looking for someone to help us but nobody was around.Finally, we ordered a bottle of wine and a Fairouz feast and asked the waiter to bring appetizers first. Unfortunately it took 55 minutes to be brought our main dish and no one poured us wine or water. We asked the management and meanwhile the food came. Unfortunately, because the gap between the appetizer and the main course was so long, we couldn't enjoy the main course and I was very embarrassed in front of my guests who came from Toronto. Although the food was as always excellent, but the pleasure of being in the restaurant was very low. The manager came to our table and apologized and gave us a ten percent discount. I thank them for the discount, but I wish we had paid more and had a better experience.

    Good food, although some of the dishes (Cauliflower) missed on taste, texture. Also, would have loved some type of falafel on the menu for vegetarians.

    Fairouz has amazing food. The appetizers are so different but so delicious. The seared halloumi was incredible. The main course was very good. The fried cauliflower was delicious with the right amount of crunch, savoury with the tahini. Very good food! The server was wonderful. She provided great recommendations and was attentive but not pushy. Highly recommend!

    We had a very pleasant lunch sitting outside on the back patio, in the shade and away from the street, nice and quiet. All of the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The three of us split a dip trio (we chose hummus, baba ghanoush and muhammara); two of us split the Fattoush Salad and Fried Cauliflower for our mains and the third had the Kofte burger

    It was one if our best experiences ever. The food and Mezze we ordered were perfect. The staff were professional, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and after our meal, they brought here a dish with a candle and happy birthday on it. I cannot even think of anything bothering us or unpleasant. I 100% recommend this place.

    We had such high hopes, and invited a high profile guest based on our experience at the Somerset location. What a disappointment (and embarrassment). Soggy fattoush, flavourless sawdust-like kibbeh, and unhappy hosts and servers make this experience far from any Lebanese (or any really) cuisine or hospitality.

    Muhammara starter was good but didn't need extra pita we were encouraged to order. Fattouche salad was a disappointment. Romaine was discolored and not fresh, salad was generally tasteless. Draft Cider was only passable. Not sure I'd return.
