Review Summary

Abu Elias is described as a cornerstone for charcoal grilled Middle Eastern meat in Montreal, offering a wide range of items from kafta, filet mignon, and tawook sandwiches to kebbeh nayeh and tebleh, and a butcher shop that doubles as a market and eatery. Reviews praise the freshness and quality of the meat, the bold flavors, and the variety of prepared dishes and salads that reflect the same care and craftsmanship. The service is often friendly and attentive, though some visits report occasional missteps with orders or items that are overly salty or overcooked, and a perception that prices can be high or that service varies when not local. Parking can be tight and seating limited, yet the overall impression is of a place that feels authentic, welcoming, and dedicated to Lebanese and Middle Eastern meat dishes, with a clean kitchen, a professional team, and a strong emphasis on quality across raw cuts and cooked specialties.

Excellent food, charcoal grilled, very clean kitchen & efficient service. It may be preferable to order in advance. Note that the parking is pretty small & car needs to block others.

We ordered 1/2 kg of grilled mix. The taste was good, but compared to other places, the food here was more expensive. We paid $38 plus tax for this plate ( small skewers ), while at another restaurant we paid $27 for a mix kebab that included 4 skewers lamb, chicken, beef , salad, rice, hummus, bread, grilled tomato & garlic sauce.

Delicious grilled dishes. The meat is great, fresh & tender. Order by phone so the pick up will be quick & easy.

Delicious food! I was lucky to have found this place on my trip to Montreal. A wide menu to choose from. Perfect authentic Arabian taste is like no other! Savoured every bite of my order, the grilled platter was juicy & prepared on spot. I wish they expand & have a place to serve the guests in the restaurant!

I ordered the 1 kilo mix grilled meat to feed my family. The chicken was amazing but the filet mignon was not Chew chew chew & spit out it was not edible The koftah was ok The hummus was good & the garlic mayo was really good Sadly for that price it doesn't come with rice, potatoes or veggies. One con is There is almost no parking. If you are lucky you can grab one of the few parking slots they have. Inside the store it's total chaos They talk to everyone in Arabic assuming every client is arab which was not very professional & a little offensive. Overall I give it a generous 3 on 5
