My grandfather was born in Syria and most of the arabic food was eaten at home and cooked by him or my grandmother.
I never knew there were so many wonderful places in the GTA to eat mediterranean/middle east dishes! And in recent years more and more options and locations are opening up.
I have been eating at La Grill since my girlfriends suggested we try it back in 2006! We had a girls night out and I've been hooked ever since!
The nice thing about La Grill is you can try so many different dishes from their menu due to their platter and group options. We always have the Hummus (a must!) & Baba Ghanoug. (its made with eggplants)
I loved their calamari and their Kebe. (Though my gramp's Kebe will always be my fave- their version is very good).
Sanbousik was good. Tasted like the greek Tiropita. (Feta cheese wrapped in a thin layer of dough then lightly fried until golden brown.) And the tabouleh was good. (It was a favorite with my friends).
Lebneh is similar to Tzatziki- most middle eastern dishes use similar ingredients.
Over all great place to sit and enjoy good food with good people. Sharing dishes like these makes it opportune to eat slow, savor meals and hold great group conversations.
I highly recommend La Grill!
And before I forget: the decor is quite nice...makes it a great place to go out for a romantic meal.
