From the OpenTable editors: Amal dazzles diners with bright, stylish decor that draws inspiration from traditional Lebanese design. This alluring Yorkville restaurant backs up its good looks with an expertly executed Middle Eastern menu that touches on all the classics—dips paired with housemade pita, mezze, well-seasoned skewer platters, and shawarma.

    I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant for my birthday dinner! The food was excellent, and Nabih, our server, truly made the evening memorable. He took the time to guide us through the menu and offered great recommendations. His attentiveness really enhanced the whole experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to treat themselves or their loved ones. The birthday wishes were the perfect finishing touch to the night!!!

    We had an amazing experience celebrating our daughter’s birthday at Amal. The ambiance was perfect for a special occasion, and the staff went above and beyond to make it memorable. The food was exceptional, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The team’s attentiveness and warm hospitality added a personal touch to the celebration. It was truly a night to remember!

    One of my favorite Arabic restaurants in Toronto. Please train your waiters to be mindful when approaching table to ask questions or make comments or tell us anything. Our waitress literally every single time came and interrupted us mid-sentence. If it was a casual restaurant with casual prices that’s fine but you are an upmarket restaurant and waiters should not behave like their schedule or their efficiency and speed should come at the expense of customers’ experience and socializing

    Great food and great ambiance. I had a big piece of eggplant ( not processed) in the babaganoush, which was shocking to me. A bit overpriced for the portions served.

    A lovely setting to enjoy the best hummus I’ve had - couldn’t stop eating the pita. The branzino was cooked perfectly. Our server was a pleasure.

    The food was good, but the service was very slow. We had to wait a longtime for someone to come and take our orders, the restaurant was too crowded and noisy.
