I had a great experience at Laheeb! The food is very fresh, healthy and delicious. The staff go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction! Make sure to try their kabobs and their style on shawarma with garlic!!! I do find their food on the sweeter side with their sauces but so good I’ll be back soon!

wow. no words. we were hesitant to try this place for a while only because so many places here just do not give you fresh or good tasting grilled meat! it was delicious and absolutely perfect. especially since we ordered at around 8:30 pm too. portion, freshness, taste, all get a 10/10 from us !! the filet mignon was so tender, the taouk was juicy and seasoned to perfection. the fries were crispy & their garlic is light and perfect !!!! this is our new go to esp since we live near !!! thank you guys

Recently, we visited LAHEEB restaurant for a Ramadan open buffet, and I’d like to share my detailed experience. Cons: Reaching the restaurant by phone was often challenging, as they seemed too busy during peak season. When my wife called just before our arrival to confirm that our table was ready, the staff initially claimed there was no reservation under our name. This could have been quite embarrassing, especially as we had invited our guests, had we been denied entry. The most disappointing aspect was the discrepancy in the pricing. When we booked over the phone, we were quoted $35 CAD per adult, and 20 CAD for child. we were seven adults and one child However, the total cost was $379.53 CAD, which was significantly higher than expected. Pros: Although calling the restaurant for a reservation was a struggle,(High Demand Reflects Quality) once answered, the staff confirmed that the restaurant was fully booked for the next two days. We successfully secured a reservation for a later date. Upon booking, the manager/owner informed us that the cost was $35 CAD per adult and $20 CAD per child. Despite the earlier mix-up regarding our reservation, when we arrived, our table was ready, and we were seated promptly. The hospitality from both the staff and the owner was exceptional. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with traditional Syrian drinks, and the owner proudly offered a freshly grilled kebab skewer to one of our guests—delicious and memorable! The buffet exceeded expectations in variety, generosity and quality. The offerings included: Starters: Lentil soup and around 10 different types of Arabic appetizers, including an excellent hummus. Main courses: A wide array of famous Arabic dishes such as Rice with Shakriya, chicken, cheesy spaghetti, kebabs, kofta, chicken nuggets, and Mansaf (a traditional lamb dish served over rice). There were also other dishes whose names I didn’t catch, but they were equally delicious. Desserts: A selection of Arabic Baklava and an impressive assortment of fresh fruits. To conclude, tea and coffee were served, which we enjoyed while having a delightful chat with the staff. The buffet was generously stocked, with food constantly replenished. Even after the other customers had left, there was an abundance of leftovers. I took the opportunity to take some photos of the restaurant and the buffet setup at end of the evening as you can see much food was left over. The staff consistently checked on us throughout the meal, ensuring we were satisfied. Their friendliness, attentiveness, and passion for delivering great hospitality and delectable cuisine truly stood out. This restaurant truly understands great hospitality and authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The food was freshly prepared and delicious, and the staff provided exceptional service. Despite the minor reservation hiccup and pricing concern, our overall experience was fantastic. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone searching for excellent Mediterranean and Arabic cuisine. Their freshly cooked dishes and warm hospitality are deserving of five stars.

The shawarmas were delicious. A big thank you to Chaimaa. Her service was excellent and made our experience even more enjoyable. She was cheerful, very attentive, and took great care of us.

A big thank you to Chaymae for her kindness and outstanding service, and to the entire kitchen team for the amazing food. By far the best Shawarma I’ve tried in Ottawa! From appetizers to meat dishes to dessert, everything on the menu was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Exceptional middle eastern food, excellent customer service, in a wonderful family-friendly environment. I greatly enjoyed their buffet, and on another occasion I ordered from their menu; both were exquisite. What's obvious is that they use fresh ingredients to create authentic middle eastern meals. As such, it is difficult to single out one item to recommend, so multiple visits are highly recommended in order to try everything.
