First and definitely the last time visiting this horrific restaurant.Worst possible service I have ever experienced , staff are rude and the food wasn’t even that good . If I could give a zero I definitely would. Absolute nightmare of an establishment. You might as well eat at Tim Hortons and you would get better food and service. Never in my life have I ever felt such disrespect at a restaurant.
Vegetarian dish was unforgettable.
Never had a bad meal. Always good service and delicious food. Wish they would open in Waterdown. We need a restaurant like this !
Delicious! Make sure you try the mushrooms! You won't be disappointed!
I drive 45mins just for a beef shawarma...i haven't found a better one in 20+ years.
Great Halal Lebanese food for dine in and takeout. The place is nice and well organized. Table service is available. All foods are served fresh. Salad items are really delicious. Ideal for family dinner and get-together. Lunch and dinner options are available.
Always fresh, high quality food. Some times service in the restaurant can be a bit unhurried, but the food makes up for it. I love the fattoush salad and tomato and cauliflower to start. You can't go wrong with the chicken shish tawook sandwich— nothing beats that pickle in the middle!
Tasty food with a casual sit down dining experience.
Great food here. Go here - get the fatoush salad. It's awesome.
I've never tried Zatar with cheese. It was fantastic! The server was very patient and helpful with my novice ordering skills too. I also did not know that I could like zucchini or eggplant, but evidently I can. And what they do with cauliflower is nothing short of spectacular.
Food is great, fresh and tasty. The place it is cold...even in winter.
We had the Shawerma plate and it was amazing!
Scrumptious food, huge portions and a very friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff.
left a one star rating as there was no option for zero. I’m sure the food is good but after ordering a large order for 120 $ this rating is more for the service I encountered when we were missing 2 shawarmas. I heard my daughter read a long list to the restaurant and then repeat it. The order was on time but came back without two items. I phoned and they told me we never ordered them . I was then told if we did order them, we were not charged for them. When I told her I heard the list my daughter read to their staff which included the items, she told me it must have been communication issues. They offered for me to come in and get one shawarma. The food was decent but this left a bad taste in my mouth
Very good food at great prices
Delicious good, generous servings, good service and prices. Love this restaurant!
Fantastic Mideastern food! Great setting too
Consistently delicious. A Hamilton favourite.
Food does not taste like Lebanese cuisine
I must day, their baklava is some of the best I have had. So buttery, just the right amount of sweetness to die for
Awesome! The food is great and the portions are huge!
you can get that salad here that i can never remember the name of.
Fattoush salad and shish tawook. amazing place . Staff is amazing.
This was a hard star rating, I wanted 3.5, it's a toss up between here and paramount. Pros and cons to both. For example, the starter bread at paramount is fresh baked...la Luna is packaged. I found the meat very salty (kefta) and the chicken moist and we'll cooked. It's honestly a toss up... but I'd go paramount (location depending) over la Luna.
This is a quick walk from work. The food is excellent. I get the lunch special of ab shawarma and salad, and it is a great price for the amount of food you get, I would definitely recommend it!
Best falafal I have had in a while! Light, fluffy, crispy and flavourful. Great value!
Everything was really good! Our party was happy with the food. There was a little mix up with some orders, but no big deal. We were a party of 25 to 30 people , do it happens. Thanks!
It had been years since I had eaten at La Luna. We couldn't dine inside (Covid restrictions) however that didn't matter, we ate outside, in the elements, in February. La Luna's food is so outstanding, the weather couldn't reduce the pleasure of eating the BEST Middle Eastern cuisine in Hamilton.
Quality of food is outstanding. Always a pleasant experience.
This is an awesome place with great food and service. Great place for celebrating special occasions and work outings.
Pretty much my favourite restaurant.
I only ate there once a year ago with a couple friends and I enjoyed it I think we were there for three hours just talking and eating so I think it was more the friends I was with but the place was pretty good
Great shawarma! And very close to the hospital.
Large portions, great food! The pictures are from the mazza platter which was than enough for 2 people!
$30 Chicken shawarma platter?! Most expensive in town and the chicken is supper dry and not even tasty. It comes with cold super market pitta bread, how about that? : \
Delicious food in heaping portions and great service!
I literally can’t live without this place. Consistently good quality food, always tasty, always feels like a treat. The staff are like family, just the nicest people. The portions are enormous so don’t over order. Also note - there is no alcohol here.
Food quality is good. Service is also good. Their menu is the same as any other middle eastern restaurent. They do not offer anything different or special
The food is delicious and the staff is pleasant and helpful.
Best Mediterranean food in town
The food was quite delicious and the portions were large. I highly recommend it.
Unprofessional staff They have no respect for customers
La Luna has several different locations and whether you go to this one or one of their other venues the food is consistently very good. The Mazza is well worth getting if you are dining with another person but be prepared to take home leftovers because it's a lot for 2.
I have been going to La Luna for many years. Great food. Lots of vegan options. My only complaint is that they run out of hot peppers all the time and the floors are often slightly sticky ????.
Amazing middle eastern resturant in Hamilton. Make sure you go hungry the portions are huge. It’s a good size Resturant
Just picked up my isolation birthday dinner and it is fantastic...they served a birthday treat for free. Great food lovely staff...please visit if you can for take out or delivery. I drove from Burlington to get it...
Staff is friendly and food is great. Value for the meal is good but still a little on the pricy side for lunch. Have visited twice in 2 months and will visit again
Waitress was fast and friendly. Restaurant was clean and well organized. Food was very tasty. Great experience. My wife and I both enjoyed our lunch.
Great Mediterranean food for dine in and take out. The staff are always friendly and the food is of high quality. The price is on par with other restaurants in its class - expect to pay 25 to 35 pp.
Food is prepared with care both quickly and in sizeable portions— service was friendly and not overbearing whatsoever. The dining room was clean and the music was authentic. Heck yeah I’ll eat here again and again and again
A dream. A lot of great food for cheap. Super friendly people!
This is an excellent Middle Eastern / Mediterranean restaurant. Best Fatoush salad anywhere. I recommend the combination platter.
Horrible food. It was literally the worst middle Eastern food I have ever had in my life. The food had no flavour. The pita bread was store bought and cold. The hummus was the same as the one you buy from Costco. The salad only had lettuce - no other vegetables. The Modemmes was tasteless and cold. The only thing I liked were the 2 grilled mushrooms that came with the platter. The service was horrible. Waiter did not seem to care about our experience. I am definitely not ever coming back here.
Really good food, really nice service. Would go again.
The food is so satiating and flavourful! You really get a bag for your buck! The warming spices and herbs will have your tastebuds dancing. We ordered the ‘Vegetarian Plate’ + ‘Fattoush Salad’ + ‘Lentil Soup’ - and boy was it ever yummy!!! Will be ordering again!
Food was delocious. Reasonable prices for quality and quantity. Under-staffed but good customer service.
Great place to try since unique and delicious cuisine. I ended up getting a few things and it was all very new to me, but it was all excellent. The server was decently attentive but we had to flag her down since there was a long period of being ignored while we were eating our meal. The price was a little high, but it was acceptable for the quality of the food we got. Worth a try if you've never tried this route of food before.
Great place to have middle eastern food. Good food and service.
Great food. A little on the pricey side but tasted great. People seemed friendly.
Great food and service.
Amazing food I drive all the way from Etobicoke to eat the lentil soup and the zatter with cheese grilled chicken is amazing I haven't tried everything but im sure its all amazing
We ordered falafel sandwich, falafel was very dry, kibbe was good, babaganush was just unattractive, mostly tahine, we ordered manakish meat and veggy, the appareance was dreadful, the one with spices, was so loaded that couldn't swallow. First time, no very good experience.
Came here after performing a show next door. All I can say is DELICIOUS. Great family environment with a huge selection of tasty goods! Falafel wrap was amazing!
I feel sorry for anyone who ate the chicken and meat thinking they had shawarma. Both their chicken and beef "shawarma" have absolutely nothing to do with shawarma in terms of taste, texture, cut, nothing. And it's not like it's hard to find good shawarma. Literally every cheap shawarma place in Hamilton makes decent shawarma. There is no way the owner is Lebanese or even remotely related to the area because this would be a huge disgrace. To make matters worse, the food was way too oily, even the aluminum plate itself seemed to be dipped in oil that I had to wipe it off to be able to handle it. The only reason this isn't a 1* review is the falafel which was incredible. Very light, airy, not too oily. The hummus was decent too. In just a little shocked that they called their chicken and beef 'shawarma'. Yeah, no, it's not.
A great taste of middle east food with amazing aromatic and delicious items. Must visit.
Excellent. Love the salad, and the helpings are plentiful.
My friend had pre-ordered food for our large group so it was a different experience from just walking in and ordering. I believe there were 4 different type of meat skewers that kept being brought to our tables. It was never ending. The meat was cooked well and not dry. There was at least one that was on the saltier side. It was meat overload with some pits, hummus, fries and rice to try and balance it out. We finished off the meal with some delicious baklava. It was just the right level of sweetness; sweet but not feeling like you’ll get a cavity the next day. The servers came at the right times to remove extra plates and skewers so that the tables weren’t so cluttered as the meal went on.
Nice and cozy for a family, great food.
Authentic cuisine. We really enjoyed our experience here. The food was delicious, authentic style and flavour. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They can accommodate a group as well. We will definately return. See for yourself! Enjoy
One of the best places to visit and and the nicest people ever. Specially dawood. Love this place
Food is awesome! Great service!
So many delicious foods. I love the roasted cauliflower in tomato sauce!
This is the best location! Heads and tails above the rest. The service was quick and the food was hot and made to order. We had lunch and were in and out in a half hour.
The food was good, especially houmous and falafel, but the waitress was not very smiling. Quiet expensive for the service and the quality of the food...
The food always tastes so delicious! My favorite is the La Luna Plater with Caesar Salad to start. It's very good size portions and sooo good! Very nice atmosphere and decor as well!
Fantastic authentic Lebanese cuisine. Been there for decades and its obvious why. Fresh ingredients, authentic taste and good service. No complaints. Will go again. Even if it's just for the baklava. Home/hand made not too sweet, buttery flakey. Best baklava in town. Fight me on it. ????????????????
The food is OK but not the best. I've certainly had better hummus and falafels elsewhere. Probably wouldn't order here again...
Service was great. Also the ambience. Fewer options on choices between beef and chicken. But hey, it is what it is :D
Hopeless food, falfeel had no filling inside, just dry, humas was too thin and chicken shawarma was tasteless. Not worth the money. Service was just at par to the food quality.
Very delicious. Falafel and Fatoush salad are so flavourful. Great service for takeaway
Quite busy (at times), but the food was a delight. Good place to come together with friends and/or family.
Quick service. Good meal and friendly staff.
Food is always delicious and portions are plentiful. The staff are friendly and efficient.
Always consistent and good quality food. Freindly staff, parking is good and they always have Heineken ????..
The shish-kebab was amazing. Tabouli salad was very good as well
I just ordered two kabab Sandwiches for pick up, when I got home I opened them, they put two shish Tawook instead of two shish kabab that I ordered. I called them five time , they did not answer the phone to tell them the mistake about my order while the store is open until 11:00 pm. That is disrespectful people and poor customer service. I will never go back there.
The best middle east food in Hamilton
Wow! So good! Plentiful portions and perfectly seasoned. You will walk out of this place very satisfied.
The best Lebanese place! The tahini sauce is amazing and non dairy! Love the fatooshe salad! Not sure how to spell that sorry!
La Luna is a great restaurant. The Fatoosh Salad is wonderful. The sandwiches are great. Food is fresh and the service is top rate.
Very good middle eastern food! The lady waitering tables was very cheerful.
Decided to try something new during quarantine. Picked up an order of 'La Luna's Platter". I was floored by how good everything was! The meat was seasoned superbly and the rice, veggies and pita were done to perfection. The service was excellent as well. We had to wait for 5ish minutes as we arrived early but the man working behind the counter shared some Baklava with us as we left. I am very excited for their inevitable reopening so that I may try more dishes.
Coming from a Middle Eastern background there is a lot of Shawarma sandwiches that are not really authentic or Lebanese. I found this restaurant to be right on. We got different sandwiches and they were definitely Lebanese made. The baklava was to die for. All-around great experience at a great fair price. Will be visiting again when we are back in the city.
So much food for a good price. Will be back. Would recommend. Staff is friendly. Restaurant is very clean and inviting. Quick service. Cant wait to eat the left overs tomorrow!
Great lunch spot for fresh real food (and pretty fast too).The salad and sandwich combo is a favourite as well as the "Combo Platter" if you're really hungry. Very tasty food and always friendly staff. EDIT: Sometime this year (2012) lunch prices went up... way up. Lunch will now net you $18 for the combo platter.
Some of the best food I've eaten in Hamilton!
Good restaurant. Food tastes good but its expensive as well. When ordering main course please check the number of person it serves from the person taking order because some of the dishes doesn't mention it but it looks like they are for two persons.
First time at la Luna and food was very tasty and plenty for the price. Service was great and prompt.
Good service. Good authentic food. Good ambience. Fairly priced. Dedicated parking. Worth the drive.
Great service , food was mediocre , the place is good well kept !
Great food and friendly staff.
Some of the tastiest Lebanese food you can find in Hamilton. SO yummy. I recommend the Beeftek, where the beef is so flavorfully nice and charred to perfection
Quick service! The Greek salad, La Luna platter and baklava were awesome. Portion Sizes are generous.
Great, tasty food. Loved their Shawarmas ????
Delicious food and a cheerful, efficient staff.
Used to be one of my favourite restaurants when I was growing up in Hamilton. Returned to it after nearly two decades away, and it did not disappoint. Still excellent, and still reasonably-priced, too.
Highly recommended! We had: Babaganouche, Pea Soup, Combination Platter and Curry Chicken ( dangerously good!!!). Delicious food, friendly, excellent service, and prices are little high, but all in all a great combination.
I come here whenever I am in town, which is about once a year, and the food seems to get better every time. Highly recommended!
Aways excellent... Fast efficient service no booze.
Staff was great, but I find the food better at the Mountain location.
Very nice healthy food with reasonable price and excellent service
Really good food. A little pricey but they give you huge portions. The restaurant was so cold however, lots of ppl were wearing their coats while eating. Also server said that they only had two water jugs so getting refills on water took a while. Would go again, just hope it's warmer and the owner bought more jugs lol.
Great food and seating with polite and courteous staff plus it's Halal so can't go wrong.
The food is always delicious! Great take out during the lockdown.
I come from Toronto to eat here because nothing compares. All of their salads are beautiful, fresh with lemony dressing. I dream about the sumac mushrooms. The menu hasn't changed in many years, but when you've reached perfection, why change.
Really friendly staff. Delicious food and fabulous baklava!! You can take home a pound of baklava to eat later!! Worth the trip just for that!
Good food and fair prices
No one can replace La Luna for my go to Mediterranean style restaurant. They always have wonderful staff, food and service! Their mountain location is also amazing!
Delicious, reliable food. Good price. Kebabs are not the best, but everything else is.
Ordered food last night. Not impressed. Seems like they grilled some food and poured un flavoured tomato sauce on everything. Rice was bland, the beef was way to fatty, and chicken seemed to be old. We also had to wait an additional 20 minutes to get our food. Food was warm not hot.
Amazing food Best restaurant in town
Only really had their shwama plate but really delicious would highly reccomend
Food was okay.
I love La Luna! Their chicken shawarma is the best!
Very good Fattoush take out salad from here
I like the food. I had the sandwich with beef and pickle in it and its taste was very good. Also I always like my favorite sald, La luna salad house.
Very tasty food. Was in a hurry so didn't try a lot of the options. Will be back.
Love the food, service annnddddd the BAKLAVA <3
The BEST Service
Very nice place, and excellent service and food. Highly recommend.
i was here today and got treated very rudely. the worker was a white middle aged woman with short blonde hair. i did not get her name but she was being extremely discriminatory and racist. me and my friend were waiting to order in front of the register when another white lady came in and instead of serving us and goes to her takes her order right away. when asked why she did this she said it wasn't clear to her that we wanted to order??? is standing in front of the ordering register not clear enough she could have just asked us. instead she avoided even looking at us and was clearly being hostile. i am never coming here again and i'm telling everyone about this terrible service. i ended up leaving without getting any food. do not give this place your money.
The food was not bad at all. I've just had better elsewhere
Food was good but not the service. Badly organized. Be careful - no alkohol there.
Nice atmosphere and great food. Prompt and friendly staff. Decent price.
Amazing service, kind staff, great authentic Middle Eastern Food!
The wait for the food is considerably long the atmosphere is subpar and at 25 dollars for a shawarma plate it's over priced. The place is clearly under staffed, with some tables left with out service for 30 minutes. The food while expected to be bursting with flavour was lack lustre at best.
Really Great food, Excellent service, big portion I came for lunch the lady recommended the special and it was a good recommendation. Portion was massive, atmosphere is cool
We stopped by and got a chicken shawarma and a falafel wrap. It was a very pleasant surprise. Hamilton has alot of shawarma restaurants but La Luna really stood out, the chicken was juicy, and nicely seasoned. Falafel was fresh and tasty, not dry at all! Also their garlic sauce is on point. Not watered down, and the taste of garlic is very present. I loved it. Excited to try more items off the menu.
Great service and very friendly staff, portions are quite large and shareable, they are quite generous with their pita and dip supply which can easily fill you up if you are not careful. Bring lots of gum for combating the garlic after.
Their sign says open till 9 and we have been here few times around 8-8:25pm ,I have asked to change their timings but nothing has changed. This pic is with time stamp for consideration
Overpriced, service uncaring, dull atmosphere, but tasty falafel.
The food here is always fresh and SO incredibly delicious, and service is excellent as well!! We always order too much - but how can you choose? The falafel is so amazing - light and fluffy, the hummous is fresh and the fattoush salad is a must!! We may also get too many baklava, also ;)
I'm addicted to their Fattoush.. It's amazing! I can't describe it accurately but it's very clean tasting. Kind of tart, kind of sweet but deffinitely always fresh. Highly reccomend.
Great food, great pricing. Family atmosphere.
Favorite place for date nights. Salads are always fresh. Service is great. They give large quantity of food. My husband and I usually share one meal.
Great food, fast service , nice place to relax or grab a late lunch.
Great food. They offer a gf version of a shawarma without the pita bread - it proved to be safe to eat for a celiac. They never have your order ready to go for pick up, they seem to wait until the order is paid before making it. They've forgotten items in my orders twice, so be sure to carefully check your order before you leave. Reasonable, but the best deal is through their La Luna Express - get the Family Feast for $60, loads of delicious food for a very good price. It really is enough for a family get together. I'm a big fan of their falafel sandwich. They use a spice I haven't had elsewhere.
Good service and very fresh food. Restaurant has a nice ambiance and price is fairly reasonable. Really liked the curry beef rice they had (which is actually quite hidden on their menu.
Nice and clean environment Yummy food. A must try. Not very expansive also. Servers are very friendly
Love this place. Great food! Thier combination platter is my fav and a great way to try most everything on the menu. Manakeesh is bang on
Good food at a good price. Definitely with a visit. Close to the arena if you are going to catch a game or event
Public safety alert and regular customers please read carefully. I am a regular customer for a long time at this location. I had previously bad orders but I didn't care much until last night. I walked in around 8pm ordered 2 falafel sandwiches with special basic simple instructions and i asked her please make sure it's not saggy. The guy at kitchen did exactly the opposite and mixed very old falafel with new falafel in one sandwich. Here is why, the guy in the kitchen has some issues and he did this awful sandwich in purpose. He is not fit to be trusted. I will never go back to this restaurant as I fear what might go into the food before i eat it.
Great food and a good atmosphere to bring the whole family to. Great for meetings or a quick meal with a friend.
Truly some of the best food right here in the heart of the city. Parking isn't always the easiest but does anything worthwhile come easy. Find your way inside and enjoy many choices from the menu. Call ahead even for take away because the team can help package it all up for you too.
Great tasting food and fast friendly service. The portions are quite large.
This was the 1st time in my life I go to a restaurant that did not have salt and pepper on the table, when I asked for some salt they brought a plate of salt! Don’t expect great service if you go
Tremendous food, greater service and affordable prices! One of the best.
Really delicious food, homey atmosphere and friendly staff! The menu has lots of options, is reasonably priced ($6-8 for an app, around $25ish for a main), and the serving sizes are generous. There are some decent vegetarian options, too! I'd happily return next time I'm in Hamilton. Everything was fresh and tasty.
Food is very good. Portions are massive. Fattoush salad was amazing. Beeftek dish was tasty. Service was good as well.
Delicious food ... Nice atmosphere ... Good service ... Not enough parking space ... Over all a very good place for authentic Middle Eastern food.
I love the ambiance at La Luna. It almost feels like going on vacation. It is a good place to try new things. Everything is fresh, straight from the Levant and never stored long before being served, a fact that is very well reflected in the taste of the food. Try the baba ganoush for an appetizer.
Food is consistently good and I have always been please.
The first and the best Lebanese restaurant in Hamilton. The tabbouleh salad and the falafel were great
Amazing plates!
The food here is delicious and very fresh. The environment is pleasant and comfortable with lots of booth seating. Prices were reasonable. The bathrooms were very clean and well-stocked. The service was friendly but a little bit slow on this particular day perhaps. We were here for lunch and really enjoyed the food. Not licensed for alcohol.
Food was excellent, very fresh and flavourful. A tad overpriced, but the serving size was very generous. We went close to close so some menu items were no longer available and server seemed a little rude when we asked to be seated elsewhere since we had a sleeping child. Otherwise the food was a must try.
I think this place is fantastic. The lentil soup is wonderful. The shawarma is very authentic tasting, lots of flavour. The manakeesh is some of the best flatbread I think I’ve had. Come out and try this food, it really is awesome.
Top notch, authentic Lebanese cuisine. Everything is made fresh and from scratch. Zatar is amazing, and if you don't know what it is, try it. I live in Youngstown NY near Niagara Falls, and making the trip here is always well worth it. The lentil soup is spot on too. Just like everything else on the menu. Take some bread home, and maybe a pound of baklava. Just a single order if you're not feeling disciplined. Sachtine!
I have been coming to La Luna for 25+ years and whenever i am in town I come here for great food. My kids and wife love it to which is a bonus!!
Service was slow, but the food was good and they give you huge portions!
The service is good and friendly, decor is good, and the food is outstanding.
The best location on the city. Always consistently excellent, quick and very large, delicious servings.
We ordered for pickup falafel and chicken shawarma sandwiches. It was excellent, man behind the counter was very nice, excellent customer service. Will be back for sure!????
Been going to La Luna for years, love their beef shawarmas, falafels, fatoush salads. I have enjoyed everything I have tried there. Location is in an up and coming area of Hamilton downtown core. With all the development at this corner, this restaurant is a Goldmine. My biggest worry is they get bought out by developers. Will be very sad if they are gone.
Since I was first introduced to the La Luna close to home (easy walking distance) by a friend a couple years ago, not once have I been disappointed with their service with the many times I've been there. All around their service and unique Lebanese style food is excellent, as well their meal prices are pretty reasonable. Honestly I have no complaints and would highly recommend them.
We picked it based on the reviews. We order 2 plates and some babaganoush and it ended up being about 70$$$. When we opened the food we were so dissapointed. The vegetables were soggy and overcooked. The meat was not fresh and it was not a big portion. We felt like we were really ripped off paying 70 dollars for it. We didn't even eat much of it because it was just not good at all. It was not authentic lebanese food. I have no idea who is reviewing this place at 4 stars but it is not accurate at all! Do not order here unless you want to waste your money
Excellent food. Salads especially good
I visited this place from out of town and the service was friendly but very slow. The taste was not authentic at all, in fact, it had nothing to do with Lebanese food. It looked like the person who made it had no knowledge or whatsoever of the Lebanese taste. Items on the menu were not cheap so you can imagine the additional disappointment of paying high price for a sub zero quality food. I don't think I would go there again or even recommend it to my friends living in Hamilton.
Food was good. Not the greatest ambience but service was good.
Fed six with leftovers to take away ordering the family feast. It didn't look like much and I was worried but we were stuffed to the gills. Very tasty but not spicy. Best freaking baklava ever. Not much staff on when we went in and the menu says they'll take their time but honestly it wasn't a long wait but it was an off hour. Highly recommend. Metered parking all around.
Excellent selection of Lebanese cuisine. Delicious food and friendly staff.
Top notch Lebanese food. Shawarma is awesome .. tabouli is amazing too.
Excellent food, one of the best places to eat in South western Ontario.
Fantastic. Something for everyone. Many vegan options. Good & quick service and food. I would say the Za'atar was a little dry and have had better, but that might be more of a preference. Overall, will not be disappointed. Good value.
Good food but slow service.
One of my favorite Hamilton spots. The Mazza platter is amazing.
My boyfriend and I ordered from here the other night and it was perfect. The amount of food, and the flavours were awesome! Would definitely order from here again!
Always good. My fav all time restaurant. Best falafal sandwich!!!! The garlic mushrooms are stupendous.
I invited my family to come over for a dinner at Luna. Originally I had tried the other location on the mountain and I fall in love with everything; THIS LOCATION I DIDN'T! Our server left us with lots of mixed feelings. We ordered appetizers, manakeesh, and main plates along with raps. The restaurant was not busy at all but Appetizers took 30 mins to get to the table. We asked for Fatta; it came after 1 hour undone and super watery. Our main dishes some were served and the rest arrived half an hour later. It was just complete mess. We end up spending $100 leaving unsatisfied with taste, service and value. Totally, regret coming here. Luna ruined my family dinner night... so upset!!!
Good ????
If I could give my experience at this store a rating it wouldn’t even be worth one star. It seemed as though the employee at the register was racially motivated- and by that I mean she was racist towards me and my friends... I would describe her as a white, middle aged women, short/mid length (blonde ish) hair. Me and my friends went to this restaurant because we are familiar with it, but will not be visiting hostile and disturbing location let alone chain for as long as physically possible. We left with no food after the dispute because our dignity was more valuable. I can assure you all that there is better food at welcoming* places in the area. Not to mention that a customer was rude and the employee enabled their behaviour!?
This location is the original and the best ! Food is the best quality service is good most of the time ... food is worth it
Love this place! For fresh delicious middle eastern food, I have never disappointed! I suggest the delicious flat bread pizzas, falafels are light and fluffy and the fattoush salad is yummy.
I ordered off of my phone app and not my laptop and think I mis-ordered and then marked it a negative review - my order was a bit wrong but it was delicious and I ordered during the dinner rush. They are amazing I hope we can all keep them going through these times♥
Worth the wait. I waited 30 minutes before being served at lunchtime but was amazed at the falafel I was served. Best Falafel I've had ever.
Best Fattoush salad!!! Great food! Good service.
Excellent tasty food. Great service.
Had a great meal very fast very efficient the food was terrific a lot very filling and our waitress was terrific to very fast very efficient very polite
Walked in on a Wednesday night with a group of friends. The service was great and the girl serving us was very nice. The food was a little pricey but worth it. Everything tasted so great and they are so accommodating with substitutions with the sides. Although the website said that the resteraunt was open until 11:00pm, they closed at 10:30, therefore we felt a bit rushed when 10:30 came around. Overall great food and great service.
Excellent restaurant. Staff very pleasant, food prepared to our liking, tasty, plate presentable
Good middle eastern food but the service was slow (they need more staff)
Great food and service.
Chicken rice has 95% rice and 5% chicken. A women who looks like a manager or supervisor, has very bad customer service attitude. The real server was very good though.
Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. attentive waitresses
I had the chicken shawarma, it was pretty good, but coming from the GTA I guess I'm spoiled. Bang for the buck there are way better Lebanese joints in the city, that taste better with much bigger portions. Still giving them 4 stars cause the staff seems nice and the place was very clean.
Fantastic authentic Lebanese foods. Wish we had been able to eat more. Best falafel in my life. The baba ganoush was tasty but did not have the smoky eggplant flavor.
My favorite La Luna in the city. Great for dining in or take out. Their salads are fresh and flavorful and chicken skewers can't be beaten.
Love the food at la Luna.. best lebaonis food I've ever tasted!!
I’m from Toronto and was visiting Hamilton with my family and decided to google restaurants near by. Came across this Lebanese restaurant tonight and decided to give it a try. Wow, incredible food just like back home. My family and I were impressed. Everything from the hummus, to tabouli, baba ganoush, the kobeh and chicken were awesome and delicious!! I wish I can put a ten star on this one! Will definitely be coming back. Well worth the trip. Not many restaurants like this in Toronto. Owner and staff were awesome and the baklava is to die for!! Keep up the great work and will highly recommend to friends and family!! Shookrun ???????????? Christine fanous
Homemade lebanese food that is fresh and tasty. Mezza menu is very satisfying
Best baba ghanouj, fatoush salad and shawarma.
Amazingly yummy food. Great portion sizes. Worth the stop.
Good delicious shawarmas - however they seem to reheat cold meat as my beef shawarma meat was a bit cold - doesn't seem fresh off the shawarma spit. Tabbouleh was really good.
Good service. Good taste. Good People
Beef and rice platter is my go to but the lentil soup with crunchy pitas are delicious
Food wasn't good or authentic at all. Service was slow and the restaurant was empty. Wouldn't recommend this place.
The quality of food and service was outstanding. Try it out. You'll be very happy with such reasonable prices.
Best food around ! Highly highly recommend
La Luna makes good food. The setting is nice. This location did not have the most prompt service. If you like Lebanese food, you should try this place.
The food here is delicious. There are plenty of menu options to choose from. While the prices are a little high, it's worth it because of the huge portion sizes and great taste. I went with 3 other people and instead of getting individual dishes, we got a family size platter to save money. At the end there was still some leftovers. The staff that we encountered were also very polite and accommodating. When one member our group forgot his glasses at the table, the waitress ran outside to give them.
Myself and friends went to La Luna downtown location on king at queen in Hamilton. Evening 6.30 pm. Restaurant was not that busy only 3 tables were occupied and had around 3-4 pick up customers. We waited almost more than 45 mins after we ordered our food but they didn't served it yet. They were more concentrating on pick up orders rather dine in customers. People came after us and were served way before us. At the end we had to leave hungry and even that time our otder was not ready. We ordered only 2 main course and a sandwich which was not that time consuming order. Very disappointed with the service..
Portions were great, service was stellar and the food was tasty !
clean and accuracy
Fresh made did including amazing, smokey Baba ganoush.
We were there for lunch during the week and it was quiet, and the food came out quick and fresh with good quality, and very tasty.
Excellent service and excellent taste of food. Thanks
Food and service is okay but not a good value for the money.
My favourite middle eastern in the hammer. Always good food from this location - shish tawook wrap and fattoush salad five stars One star removed for service - forgot a dish we ordered and we were left alone a long time - it was not so busy. Salads have become a bit expensive there over the years.
My wife and myself have been coming here for 26 years. We always order the Baba Ganoush. It always consistent. However the last time it was horrible grainy lacking in Tahina it seemed to be just pureed Egg Plant Tastless I could not eat it. Was thier a new person cooking that did not know what they were doing. The rest of our meal and the service was amazing.
Nice restaurant with generous portions of good Lebanonese food.
Very welcoming! Superb service and bountiful menu. Arrive hungry and enjoy the Middle Eastern flavours!!
Decent food
We have been going to LaLuna for over 22 years. The original has the best food ! The corner of Queen and King street. We were there last night and it was fabulous.
Love this place!
Great food, reasonable prices, fantastic service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
great food. i am a picky eater, but have always enjoyed la luna. the food is high quality, and priced fairly. restaurant is also clean, and welcoming which i find important. would recommend.
Staff was great, service was good and so was the food.
Excellent Lebanese fare. Recommended!
The taste is amazing And the staff also very fast and prepared
The food delicious, the quantity more than enough. Quite, nice and friendly staff.. will go again. Alittle pricy, but o.k.
Main course is a little overpriced ($20-$50) . Otherwise the prices are fine and it's a great atmosphere. Traditional Lebanese food like tabbouleh (salad), kobbeh, manakeesh, shish tawok and includes tahini, garlic and hummus based sauces. There is a location on the mountain as well and I'm sure it is the same quality, I have heard contested opinions. The other places in downtown Hamilton that sell "Mediterranean food" can be characterized with takeout containers and small restaurants as opposed to La Luna, a better dining situation for sure.
Most relaxing atmosphere and the food was amazing!
Very good and tasty food but little bit slow
Great staff I always get the Greek salad and its awesome
Awesome food...even take out from menu
A really great restaurant and great service. They have the best fattoush salad and even better mammul.
Very good, and authentic, middle Eastern food, in a Lebanese style. The breadth of menu choices is also greater than most, including labneh and kibbeh, two of my favourites. The value is, however, not so great: the prices have recently increased while the portions are average. The ambience and decor are plain, but clean. The service is first rate and friendly. This used to be a five star place for me, but the value has diminished.
We have always liked it here. Haven't been in a while, so we were looking forward to it. I have to say that we were very disappointed. we sat down and the first thing we noticed was the filthy table. It looked clean, but own arms were sticking to the table. When i went to the restroom, my feet were sticking to the floor. We order the fattoush salad and the Shish tawook. The fattoush salad had very little flavor and almost no cauliflower. I think we found two baby pieces the size of my fingernail. I know that there is supposed to be a spice called sumac in the salad dressing but there was none. It tasted like just oil. The server had no personality and didn't even come and check to see how our food was. Unfortunately we won't be back.
Great food. .. friendly staff. Good prices. Really enjoyed the seasoning on the shwarma.
Nice people wonderfully food
Great food, staff and great prices! A must try for the whole family
Always great. Expensive. Worth it.
Been going here for the last year and a half and even though I eat the Greek salad or the chicken shawama or the burger and fries it the most delicious place I have been to
Ordered Take-Out today as the dining room was closed due to Covid restrictions. Food was made fresh to order and tasted superb. We tried the chicken shawarma and a few Manakeesh. Look forward to our next visit.
Good prices, good service, good taste.
Always have to wait for food. Sometimes is not good as people are in rush
Great food, excellent service and beautiful atmosphere. Had an intimate party there and it was memorable. Would highly recommend from simple lunches to intimate parties.
Very good fresh food. Good price. Nice place. Not dumpy
Best Lebanese by far in the city. Classic recipes are always fresh and delicious. Heavenly Baba!
Dinner plates were more expensive then normal. Food was good, parking was not great. Staff was very friendly.
This is a pretty amazing restaurant the food Is awesome along with the service Tisha is a great waitress
i tried this location for the first time after many recommendation for a dinner with family. the portions in general are very large, the shwarma was good but the Kafta plate (3 skewers) were dry, dense (not pure meat, too much flour added I assume), and looked like reheated from the fridge!. the cesar salad was a bunch of lettuce with 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of cucumber! I would would have preferred if they reduced the no. of skewers for a better quality kafta Disappointing and expensive.
Good service, excellent food and fair prices
Tasty food, A little pricey and the staff sometimes forget things in orders like garlic sauce etc. I wish they took a little more care about those things but Overall the Food is delicious and I guess that's what matters most right? Wouldn't hesitate to order from the again but double check your order before you leave that they didn't forget anything!
First off, the food is delicious. We consistently purchase the hummus, tabbouleh, chicken shwarma, vegetable rice with garlic, manakeesh (chicken and cheese and vegetable and cheese) items and they are consistently fresh and amazing. My problem is with the lack of staff most of the time, inaccurate pricing on the website compared to in store (for pick up purchases), the lack of owning the responsibility of inaccuracies, and the long wait times for food. I was told today my order would be 20 minutes, I got to the store after 25-30 minutes and proceeded to wait another 20 in store for it to be ready. Prices are at least a dollar more for every item in store and it's chalked up to "minimum wage increases" but they don't offer the website price. It isn't my fault that they haven't updated their website yet. Several times it's also been super busy and there are only a few waitresses who are running around looking stressed out as they have to keep up with pick up and in-restaurant orders. If you're increasing the price due to minimum wage, it likely means you're cutting hours too, and in the end you're wasting the customers time and money as we aren't getting better service. Food is still good, but when will the quality start to be sacrificed?
Great food, fair prices, I liked the Tabooli salad. The wait staff was very good as well
This has very quickly become our go-to takeout. Delicious food at reasonable prices. Try the cauliflower in tomato sauce!
Great tasting vegan food, and always amazing, respectful staff.
The food is fresh but expensive. 4 stars for giving huge portions. There are other middle eastern places that are better.
Yum. Fresh, healthy, tasty, warm, generous portions compared to other places. Looking forward to next time.
Amazing food. The servers are absolute gems. So friendly. I go here often.
Good food and nice atmosphere
The original La Luna is still the best of them and their servers are wonderful!
Always enjoy the food - beautifully spiced and consistently tasty! Two adults shared a platter and app with lots to take home. No kids menu or smaller options for them, but our 8 & 10 y.o. each enjoyed a mannakesh and shared an app. Iced teas a little pricey - 2 for $7. Willing to pay more for good food, but the bottled drinks are unnecessarily higher in price - I'd pay that much for homebrewed iced tea! Service was good - we went early, so it wasn't busy at all. Big bright windows with a quiet view of traffic and passersby.
Great shish kabob and you have to try the Fatoosh salad and baklava. Delish!!!
Good place. Clean and tidy. Has private parking
Great food, reasonable prices and always friendly service.
Tasty food and good service. What else do you need?
Absolutely horrible place just don’t do it, save your money and go somewhere else.
Good service and nice food. I liked their fatush.
Just drove 45 minutes to arrive a half hour before listed closing time to find the restaurant closed and the worker tallying the till. Very disappointing. Wont be rushing back and I was a regular. signed Starving in Hamilton
Big portions. Looks expensive, but you get what you pay for. Well seasoned and well cooked!
Greasy and disgusting taste. Not coming here again.
Good food, reasonable prices. The atmosphere and staff were great. Highly recommend dining here
Food is amazing great place for lunch. Very reasonable pleasant staff but at times it seems like they are understaffed. Parking is definitely interesting..lol But definitely worth it five stars for sure
Delicious Lebanese food! Big portions and very tasty. Highly recommended.
Food is delicious. Looks fresh, tastes fresh. Their smaller locations around the city, the Express ones, aren't as good. This is the main headquarters and it's by far the best. I've never had a better Tabouli salad anywhere or Cauliflower.
DELICIOUS Falafel and some great vegetarian options! Service can be slow though
Ordered in via Uber eats. The food was bland and at best “average”. I couldn’t believe I paid what I paid for that amount. The chicken and beef quantity was scare and rice soggy with more mushrooms and tomato sauce than necessary. In short : overpriced menu with less than average food. Wasted my money here.
Very nice
we ate shawarma it was too bad, it was not a real shawarma and also it was expensive.
Definitely unique flavours compared to other Mediterranean restaurants. However, on our last visit, the shish tawook chicken was quite dry. Unfortunately, we also had a very disappointing experience with service which was incredibly slow, even though the restaurant was not busy. I had to go up to the counter 3 times to ask to place orders and beverage refills. When we were attended to, the waitress was very pleasant.
The place has high rating and it was first time in Hamilton. Took my wife and it took forever to order sat at 5 12pm. Order taker finally took order at 5 23pm. Brought appreitezer at 5 44pm and main course at 602pm. Way to long. Food wasn't bad but not great.
Bad salad, served on a plate. The shwarma was fine, but the pickle pieces inside were huge and sloppily cut, leading to random pickle explosions. Also didn't refill the water at all.
Delicious food. Relaxed and casual atmosphere. Very extensive menu
Just had lunch here. Good meal, but not super authentic.
Best flalafels ever. I am sometimes tempted to drive from Toronto just to eat one of their falafels.
The food was pretty good but I was not terribly impressed with the waitress's service
one of the best middleeasterian cousine
Best food ever, friendly staff and very clean. Better than Paramount.
Food was fresh, hot, and fast. We came on a Monday mid afternoon and had no wait. I got the Poutine with Montreal smoked meat and she got the veggie soup and Bogart (meatball) sandwich. Everything was fresh and tasted like it had just been made. The Montreal smoked meat was very tender and flavorful. We will be back, if there's time while we're in Canada!
The food is wonderful! The prices were a bit on the high side so I was a bit hesitant, but the food is so good! And you get so much food, I can eat a lot of food and still had enough to bring home an entire lunch. I don't eat beef or mushrooms and they were able to substitute, more vegetables and a different kind of chicken. The chicken, shawarma and grilled chicken, were very well seasoned and not dry at all. The roasted cauliflower and baba ganoush are the best!
I was sitting on the table n saw one hungry man who just came in for food. He had the exact money to buy a food. After staff delivered food to him, one guy (inside the kitchen) shouted and asked how much he gave a tip and abusing him. Is this how you treat to hungry people who has enough money for food and don't have it for goddammit tip? Such a bad guys in staff.
Always, always, always great food and service!! Never a bad experience in over 25-30 visits over the years. Fresh ingredients without a doubt makes consistently great quality. We will travel from Burlington to dine-in or take-out. Lots of authentic Mediterranean items and entrees on the menu but also a few regular items for the not so adventurous. Best falafels ever. ???? Pricing is also very reasonable considering portion sizes. Fatoush salad is so good. Quite big and loaded with a variety of veg.
if you like Shawarma, no, if you love shawarma, then La Luna is the place to go. The pita is outstanding and the beef spiced perfectly. The fatouche salad is by far the best in the city.
Amazing food and service as usual!
If you would have asked me yesterday I would have said ten stars but after this evening I wouldn't even give them a star. Second time I've had my order messed up recently. Food was cold and did not taste good After calling We weren't clear on what a "free item" was. So I called, asked for owner. He just yelled at me. Very rudely and being ignorant. Complaining it would hurt him to credit me anything. He did agree to $20 (meal was around $40) passed the phone to a younger woman still yelling. All I said was wow He's pretty rude and ignorant and click. Two minutes later the owner calls back yelling again saying I swore and he has a witness I'm band and he's calling the cops The young woman replied ya she swore she said rude and ignorant I had a panic attack Never had someone I paid to do something right call yelling and threaten me I guess with some success in business it's easy to forget where you came from or that word of mouth is powerful As a proud Hamiltonian this business makes our city look bad a former 20 year customer
I was there on Labor Day, took a long time to be seated the place was almost empty but no one to serve. My food was half burned, our drinks came way after the food was served. Had hard time keeping flies of our food. I had family visiting out of town and honestly it was quiet embarrassing.
Amazing food, incredibly generous portions and fast delivery. Food was piping hot on arrival. We highly recommend La Luna Downtown.
Very nice.. the test of the food was amazing wish they open another location in Mississauga.
Plenty of very flavourful vegan options but beware, even the appetizers are enormous.
The Lebanese food at this restaurant is fantastic. If you have never tried Lebanese food, you are in for a unique taste experience. The food is always fresh and hot when served. The choices are numerous and you will have to go a few times to try everything on the menu. Flavours are one-of-a-kind and top-notch from the appetizer to the main course. The pace of service is perfect for allowing time to enjoy appetizers, salad, and a main course in a unhurried atmosphere. We did not make it to any dessert options but we did end up with a generous left over portion to enjoy for lunch at home the next day. The server was pleasant and very helpful with menu information and suggestions. The portion sizes are very generous and priced accordingly. We were a party of 4 adults, all with appetizers, salads, and main course plates, and our bill was about $110 (including taxes). Main courses are in the $20 range and very generous in portion size. Anyone who gives this restaurant a rating less than 5/5 obviously is not a fan of Lebanese food so just ignore their review comments.
Average quality of food and service. Generous portions.
Amazing lentil soup and chicken shawarma, and good service.
Loved the food and the Express side makes take out a breeze
Take out at La Luna is fantastic! The food is always fresh and so tasty. We have been to many different similar style restaurants in the past (from Montreal to Sarnia) and LaLuna tops them all. LaLuna is a local family restaurant (they have a few around Hamilton) and their food is unbelievable!
Took over an hour to get our main dishes. Others who arrived later got their food before us. When we got there after 5:00 p.m. there was only one other table occupied. One person wanted Beer but they do not have a liquor licence. The food was Okay but lacked flavour. The server was helpful and courteous. This was a kitchen problem. The parking was limited and awkward. The fireplace added to the atmosphere which was nice.
Favourite restaurant in hamilton by far. Best lebonese food around hands down.
