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.

Tasty food but too salty. Very loud music to the point of being unpleasant

Food was delicious, sandwiches are kind of small but so tasty & not to forget the amazing raw Kebbeh & Tebleh. Overall this place is the closest to authentic Lebanese cuisine.

Great quality meat & delicious food. The shish taouk wrap was super tasty! Parking was a bit of a pain, but worth it overall.

P.S. The shish taouk meat is a great option if you're looking for a healthy meal, pairs perfectly with a fresh salad.

Love their sandwichs. I got 2 kifta & 2 shawarma, & they were awesome. Cooked on the charcoal in front of you, it made my mouth water just from the smell. Best of all, although it is tasty, the food still felt very light. So, no after meal regrets, haha.
