I come from a place that prides itself with ice cream, but after getting my hands on malak’s vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, pistachio, cookies n cream, black cherry and more flavoured ice cream, it made me forget all about the ice cream i enjoyed for most of my life.
This was truly the best and most delicious gelato I ever tried.
Cant wait to have some more.

I orded 10 pieces with pistachio, but they gave me 6 with pistachio and 4 with another taste I didn’t ask for and didn’t tell me. I saw they took it from another trey, but I thought it was all pistachio. May be they try to mix it with the one that doesn’t sell well. I don’t think it’s nice to do with the customers. Baklava is perfect, but for the cheating with customers I give one star.

Delightful Lebanese bakery with delicious homemade ice-cream. This bakery has a mom & pop feel. Great service with insightful explanation of the different Lebanese delights. Ice-cream was delicious. Highly recommended.

Stella Luna was super busy so I decided to walk down the street to this location. (2 minute walk)
I was quite happy with the price of $5 for 2 scoops
The quality was just as good. Hidden location, not busy whatsoever.

I also did not receive the serving of the baklava on top.. however the workers are quite friendly and welcoming. Strongly recommend!

I sampled every single flavour that was displayed at the Ottawa Lebanese Festival in August of 2017 (was surprised that they let me!). They were all good, but Hazelnut was heavenly!!! It was so rich and creamy and flavourful. It tasted almost like chocolate. I enjoyed a small piece of Baklava on top of the scoop as well. Great gelato, great smile from the staff! I gladly support this small local business which just opened a new chapter in its long history.
