Reviews for Lara's Restaurant in North York, ON
How are they still in business? Awful. Chicken; unbearable, embarrassingly tough and odd like rubber, so salty it’ll dry your... mouth, no flavour, accompanying sauce was sweaty. It did not appear as if it were chicken. Fish; no meat, no flavour, just skin,bone and a head. Fatoush; croutons were stale, salad was drenched with mediocre sauce. Tenderloin; had an after taste, verygritty to the point where I had to spit some out. Rice; overcooked and bland, absolutely flavourless. Lebne; tasteless. Theonly thing that was good was the pickles/tourshu. La grille and lavash are far better. EVEN paramount. Do not recommend, nevergoing back. Read more
Love it. Meat was a bit dry but everything was seasoned on point. Great portion, environment and service. Will return and... recommend. ???? Read more
The food is delicious. I'm happy that I found this place. So yummy and local.
We ordered Chicken Shish Tawouk and beef tenderloin with rice and house salad. Frankly we didn’t like the taste, chicken was... too dry and too salty, beef was better than chicken. Rice was quite plain and thick, just dressed with few almonds. The placewas big and cozy, but food was disappointing. Read more
Went here for a friend’s wedding and was surprised with how beautiful the interior is. I should’ve taken photos of the food... but we had diff kinds of humus, pita, falafel, beef and chicken kabobs, etc. I’m used to wedding venues not having the bestfood but the food here tasted great! Everyone at my table was also saying the same thing. Read more
I'm going to try to be as nice as I can for this review. But I did not have a good experience here. We held our work X-mas party... here and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. That means that we were the only focus of the owner and staff. That being said,the service could have been a lot better. They left dirty plates on our table and refused to change them. There was a lot ofclutter on every table as they didn't clear plates until the end. The food was below average and disappointing for what we paid.They served Costco French fries! See picture for proof. No restaurant should serve food from Costco. The beef was overcooked,tough and dry. Chicken and rice was good. The decor was very nice, restaurant was decorated beautifully, that's the only reasonI'm not giving 1 star. I expected a lot more from this venue. Please do better. Read more
The service is ok. The restaurant has a beautiful decoration and well served lovely plates.
Stumbled across this restaurant by luck, and it was a wonderful experience. I almost felt out of place when I walked in the... restaurant. It’s very well decorated and has a nice ambience. Food was tasty and great portions for the price. Service wasgreat and very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back, thank you Lara’s mom! Read more
