"By night, this Lebanese restaurant is a bit more of a sit-down spot (at least compared to other Middle Eastern places on this map), but it still does a host of sandwiches and snacks for under $10." - Tim Forster, Holly Tousignant

"Relatively fast and casual but still a decent spot for a sit-down meal, Garage Beirut has garnered a following for juicy Lebanese-style grill and garlic and tahini-laden mezzes. Open until 10 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday." - Tim Forster

"An unassuming name belies an exciting Lebanese eatery in the Concordia University area. It’s a cozy space with exposed brick walls and simple décor, best known for seriously good sauces — their hummus and yogurt-based pita dips are popular — as well as an excellent baklava. In patio season, it expands onto Bishop Street with guests enjoying the sun with kebabs, salad, and Lebanese beer." - Karin Murray-Bergquist

A very cozy and small place, definitely loved the vibe and subtle decor. My partner and I went for Valentine’s day!! The food is quite expensive for the portions. However, no complaints about the food besides the portion size. This place was recommended by my partner’s patient, and it was a hit for us! If we were to go back we’d order a larger plate and hopefully the portion will be reasonable. We ordered the hummus and the cheese. The cheese was extraordinary, and I would definitely order again, would have liked more vegetables considering it was almost 20$ for cheese and some cucumbers and tomatoes. The servers were super friendly and they were attentive, came to ask how we were doing, and even changed our reservation spot because we had asked to he near a window. Would love to come here again!

The restaurant is quite small and has only a couple of seats so make sure to reserve a spot before coming to this restaurant. Also note that they only take reservations through websites so calling them won't help. The food was amazing. All the meats were quite tender and I really enjoyed the smokey flavours too. The ingredients were pretty good in quality and each dish had great flavours too. I do however find it a bit expensive, around 65$ for 5 skewers of meat which included 2 chickens, 1 filet mignon and 2 lambs. It's true that the quality is pretty good but I do still find it a bit more on the expensive side. The service was decent. The waiter that served us was polite and pretty fast considering he had to navigate inside the crowded restaurant.

We had a really nice meal, portions were just right, we started off with mixed cold mezze, the mixed hot pastries ( we requested for vegetarian), the Shawarma and Garlic Potatoes. To finish we ordered a Kunafa. Thank you to the team who was accommodating and very courteous.

This place is a delightful gem, reminiscent of a cozy eatery in a Beirut neighborhood. The service was outstanding, and the food closely matched the flavors I remember from my childhood in Beirut.

Great place. Wonderful food and service. We got lucky and they squeezed us in. The hummus is amazing. The pita is fresh and warm. The beef was great. The service was very good. They made space for us without reservations. It was a tight space but with a pleasant atmosphere. They seemed to have a lot of takeouts as well.

It was awesome. Highly recommended if you are a fan of middle eastern food. Definitely try tabule Salad and the kafta kebabs and also 4 assortments of mezzes

Tiniest portion of hummus with no flavour!! Not even close to Mediterranean !! Trust me! If you have been to any of Mediterranean countries or even Dubai, you will know what this place makes! Overtly pricey for 2 spoons of hummus- 5 $ or more Lacked smoothness, fluffiness, & taste! Pita s are served FROZEN !!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn’t believe it lol ! For the owner, this must be a SERIOUS joke !!! The worst thing i could expect a restaurant to serve me is to take out pita from fridge & serve cold! Ok it’s not cold, the coldest pita served to me I got NO idea 🤷🏻‍♀️ why this place has got so many good reviews, it’s just NOT worth it I wouldn’t lie i enjoyed fattoush salad , again the quantity wasn’t enough for the price!! For vegans, hardly any options ! Never going back to a restaurant which serves frozen pitas🙄🙄 Highly disappointed

Great food and even better service. It was Quite noisy and crowded when we were there, with tables quite tightly packed together… but this is certainly a testament to how good the food is. When I have good Lebanese food, I like to be able to take my time to enjoy and savour it. Unfortunately90 minutes into our meal, we were told we had only 30 minutes left before we needed to give up our table. This is why this restaurant will not be a repeat for me personally. But for anyone that’s ok with a fast meal done in under 2 hours, you may enjoy this place.
