Honestly, it’s been my favorite Lebanese restaurant for a while, but after COVID the quality of the food took a hit and hasn’t returned. We ate stale pita bread with our meal (was even lukewarm) and the Balila Signature pois chiche arrived late. Staff is very well trained and polite, place is super clean and well located. I just wish the chef would find the passion for cooking again. I’ll keep showing up with the hopes they come back to their previous standards.

Special birthday dinner with my wife. The staff was very thoughtful and prepared a special cake and candle for desert. Highly recommended.

Excellent food. Nice table. Attentive service. The noise level from à nearby table was a bit discomforting.

Restaurant has a great location. And very good ambience. But it had poor service. Menu was not well explained, food was terrible, breads were cold, and it was not value for money.
