#Abu_ElZulof is a fine dining & the best brunch restaurant in Montreal, our mission is to WOW people everyday and bring back forgotten traditional flavors and vibes ??
Abu el Zulof recoit des eloges pour des saveurs delicieuses et fraiches ainsi que pour des portions genereuses, et de nombreux avis soulignent l'authenticite des plats moyen-orientaux, un service chaleureux et une ambiance accueillante, parfois avec de la musique live et une danseuse orientale. L'experience est presentee comme ideale pour partager des mezzes et des repas en famille, avec certains clients estimant que le rapport qualite-prix est satisfaisant, tandis que d'autres trouvent les prix eleves compte tenu des portions. Le service varie entre attention et chaleur et lenteur et incoherence, et quelques visiteurs mentionnent des attentes longues pour les entrees ou les desserts, surtout en periode d'affluence. Certains plats phares comme le fattoush, le tabouleh, le mansaf, les kebabs, le kibbeh nayeh et le muhammara sont cites comme excellents, tandis que quelques portions peuvent etre seches, huileuses ou peu savoureuses, ce qui donne des impressions contrastes. Dans l'ensemble, Abu el Zulof est percu comme une option solide pour une cuisine arabe authentique a Montreal, avec une ambiance memorables et des saveurs satisfaisantes, mais il faut etre conscient des fluctuations de service et de rapport qualite-prix.
Amazing restaurant, food was delicious, dessert amazing. Ice cream with cotton candy & pomegranate molasses. Service was great & attentive. Will plan on eating here next time we are in Montreal:
Food was authentic, sooooo tasty & portions were more than enough!! Everything was so cute & well thought out: decorations, serving dishes, table cloths, etc. & the music was a nice touch (& at a good volume). Ola was amazing - she was so attentive, patient with my little knowledge, & offered great suggestions (the bouza was so worth it). Hands down the best levantine restaurant I've been to in the city so far.
Had an amazing experience at Abu Zulof! ✨
The food is authentic, fresh, & full of flavor, every dish was perfectly seasoned & very generous.
The service really stood out, a big thank you to Ola, an exceptional waitress, attentive, friendly, & very professional. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Definitely a place I highly recommend, I'll be coming back!

The service is excellent: friendly, attentive, & professional, making you feel truly welcome. The live music & entertainment add a special touch & create an unforgettable dining experience.
Whether you're going for a dinner with friends, a celebration, or a night out with great vibes, Abu El Zulof is the perfect choice. Highly recommended we will definitely be back!
Wow! Amazing experience, will most definitely be going back. The food was delicious tasteful & authentic, the service was warm & attentive & there was even a love show around 1030!
I had an amazing experience here. The food came out fresh, well-seasoned, & way better than I expected for the area - you can tell the kitchen actually cares about what they're serving. But the real standout was our waiter, Ola.
Ola was on point the entire time - attentive without hovering, quick with refills, & actually knew the menu well enough to give real recommendations instead of just pointing at random items. Super friendly, patient, & kept the whole vibe smooth from start to finish.
If you're coming here, ask for Ola. It literally makes the whole experience twice as good.
Not my first time & not will be the last ofc.. The ambiance was absolutely perfect ; cozy, elegant, & so inviting. & a special thank you to Oula for the exceptional service - attentive, kind, & made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back! 🌟🍽?

Outstanding service & dining experience. My wife, daughter & I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. From the Fatoush to the mouth-watering Mansaf, we cleaned the plates. The service from Nivine was just as good as the food. She went out of her way to ensure everything was to our liking. She was so nice & attentive to us.
For appetizers, we had the cheese samboosak as well as creamy hummus with fries & fresh tabbouleh - a perfect start to the meal. For the main dishes, we ordered mansaf, kebab karaz, & chicken with herbs - each one was flavorful, beautifully presented, & cooked to perfection. The mansaf was rich & authentic, the kebab karaz had the perfect balance of sweet & savory, & the herb chicken was so tender & aromatic.
To finish, we shared an Arabic ice cream plate with arabic cotton candy - not only was it a feast for the eyes, but also the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal.
The service was attentive, & the atmosphere made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.
We've now been to Abu El Zolof twice, & both times were a blast - but this past weekend was extra special as we chose to celebrate our friend's birthday there, & it was the perfect choice.
The place is spacious, clean, & beautifully set up for a lively night out. Right from the moment we walked in, the energy was great - you could feel that everyone was there to have a good time. The staff was welcoming, professional, & the service overall was smooth & attentive throughout the night.
They recently made a few changes to their set menu. Now it's $75 per person, & for that, you get a full mezza spread followed by BBQ kebab platters. Let me just say - the food was delicious. Every bite brought back familiar Lebanese flavors that felt both authentic & fresh.
We enjoyed everything from the fattoush, tabouli, hummus, baba ghanouj, & mhamara to the perfectly made kibbeh & wara2 3inab (stuffed grape leaves). These two classics were especially tasty - the kibbeh had that perfect crunch on the outside & was juicy inside, & the grape leaves were soft, tangy, & flavorful.
The grilled meats were also a hit - tender, juicy, & well-seasoned.
If I had to suggest anything, it would be to add a couple of hot mezza dishes (like soujouk, makanek, or rakakat) to make the menu feel even more complete & rich - especially for the price point. But that's just a suggestion; the overall quality of the food was excellent.
This is where Abu El Zolof really shines. The singer was absolutely amazing - great voice, engaging, & knew exactly how to get the crowd going. The atmosphere turned into a full-on celebration with everyone clapping, dancing, & singing along.
To top it off, they had a belly dancer, & she was incredible - full of energy & talent, really elevating the whole experience. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into the entertainment, & it makes all the difference.
Whether you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special or just want a night of good food, music, & dancing, Abu El Zolof delivers. We had such a great time that we're already thinking about going back again.
Highly recommend this place for a fun night out - Lebanese-style!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Abo al Zoulof restaurant & it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality & made to feel right at home. The service was exceptional - Ali & Sana were so attentive, friendly, & incredibly professional, making sure every need was met with a smile. Now, the food - where do I even begin? The flavors were absolutely divine. Every dish was a perfect blend of authentic spices & fresh ingredients, showcasing the best of Arabic cuisine. From the tender kebabs to the perfectly seasoned hummus & the rich, aromatic rice, everything was cooked to perfection. Each bite was a celebration of flavor, & it's clear that the chefs here truly know their craft. If you're craving mouthwatering Arabic food & a dining experience that makes you feel like royalty, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend to anyone wanting a memorable dining experience.
We accidentally saw this place when visiting Montreal, & we fell in love!! Clean & very authentic. Amazing staff & so attentive to little things, but most of all, the food is so tasty & with a great presentation. Just an FYI, plates are good portions & not cheap, but totally worth it. It's on our to go to list whenever we're in the city.

Fantastic dining experience. We were with a group & therefore got to taste a wide variety of dishes: fatoush salad, hummus, baba ghanouj, falafel, fried cheese, & a meat plate (I didn't eat the meat personally but others said it was great). Great taste & quality ingredients. Attentive service throughout; fun fez hats to wear & a good musician playing a sort of guitar that sounded like flamenco. My only complaint is that the music was amplified so it was difficult to talk over it.
Visiting from NYC we're always up for trying different cultures food & cuisine. This was definitely atop the list, being from NY I've basically seen & had it all but this was a really enjoyable first authentic Middle Easter experience. The atmosphere & ambiance & decor was nothing that we've experienced before & was very impressed. As a musician myself, I was also really drawn to the singing, the playing & the DJ. The live Lebanese music & entertaining belly dance that we were able to take part in was really fun. The foods were big in portions, delicious, rich in flavor & had no complaints whatsoever. Our taste buds & stomach were very satisfied. Friendly attentive staff. We were seated right away didn't feel rushed. I like when we're finished eating that we can just enjoy a conversation without the check being placed in front of us. Shout out to the cooks in the back as well, they definitely don't get as much credit as deserved. You may either want to walk or take a taxi, parking can be difficult to come by. May be a bit on the pricier side for some but it's well worth it. The entire decor was authentic from the moment you walk in from the stairway, the walls were interesting, the chairs, the floor were were catching & even the table cloths, felt like I was eating on Aladdin's magical rug, in a good way. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for something different.
