Nazareth

It’s one of the best of the best restaurants ever. Everytime is the same food quality. It is a hidden gem that must be exposed to the world

Planning a visit soon… I know it’s hidden but somehow there’s always some local people dinning here… looks small from outside

Excellent petit restaurant du Moyen-​Orient à Laval.
De l’extérieur, le restaurant semble n’être qu’un petit resto de quartier de centre d’achat…
Mais à l’intérieur, Nazareth nous offre une expérience fort différente.
Excellente nourriture à un prix imbattable (brochette de filet mignon pour 14 $) avec bar à salade et soupe.
Nazareth nous offre la possibilité d’amener notre vin ce qui offre un rapport qualité-​prix encore plus intéressant!
Un petit bijou bien caché à Laval!!!

This place is a hidden gem! I was looking for byob places in Laval, and came across Nazareth, specializing in middle eastern food. The décor is simple and clean — dark wood tables, banquets against the walls, and photos and artwork on the walls. Many dishes come with the salad bar — which is awesome! This is not your typical salad bar — there was fattoush, tabbouleh (refreshing but a little salty), cucumber salad, possibly the best babaganoush I’ve ever had, pickled turnips, olives, tomato-​based slaw, and more. Everything was great. We were brought piping hot fresh pitas (house-​made!) and delicious and smooth hummous.
Our waitress was pleasant and funny, and recommended the Nazareth chicken ($ 11), which she said was delicious. It was! Mildly sweet and incredibly juicy. At our table was also the shish taouk plate ($ 9.50), kafta plate ($ 11), and filet mignon brochette plate ($ 13). Everything was very good — the kafta was flavouful and packed with crispy pieces of onion and fresh parsley, and the filet was nicely cooked, though there was a little grizzle. There was a bit of confusion with the orders in terms of ordering half rice/​potatoes and only receiving potatoes, but the rice was good so I didn’t mind. The value/​quantity/​quality ratio is pretty hard to beat — I wish I knew about his place earlier!
