About

Abu Elias specializes in authentic Middle Eastern culinary traditions with a robust focus on charcoal-grilled meats and freshly prepared bakery items. The menu features signature shish tawook, kafta, and tender lamb skewers seasoned with traditional spice blends and served alongside warm, pillowy pita bread baked directly on-site. Traditional accompaniments include creamy garlic sauce, velvety hummus, and fresh tabbouleh that highlight the depth of Levantine flavor profiles. The kitchen maintains high standards for dough production, resulting in a selection of manakish topped with fragrant zaatar, salty halloumi, or minced meat mixtures. Diners encounter a straightforward environment where the focus remains entirely on the precise execution of grilled preparations and authentic baked goods. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for those seeking reliable, high-quality ingredients processed through time-honored Mediterranean cooking techniques.

Review Summary

Abu Elias is widely recognized as a cornerstone for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and high-quality butcher services in Montreal. Many patrons praise the freshness and superior flavor of their charcoal-grilled meats, raw specialties like kibbeh nayyeh and lahmi madoua, and their signature sandwiches. While a majority of visitors highlight the friendly staff and the reliable, traditional quality of the food, some feedback notes inconsistencies in service, pricing concerns, or occasional issues with portion sizes and saltiness. Despite these mixed remarks and challenges with parking, the establishment remains a popular destination for those seeking genuine Lebanese products and catering services, with many loyal customers returning for years to enjoy consistent, flavor-packed meals.

Pour le prix que tu payes tu n'auras pas la quantité voulu! J'ai acheté le plat 1 kilo & il n'y a pas de patate ni riz qui vient avec juste la viande & pita avec les sauces. La bouffe est correct pas plus.

The majun wrap was the best part of their arsenal. Highly recommend going there strictly for that. If you also need halal meat. Good spot. Please note it's a cash/debit establishment. The other food there was fine. Filet mignon wrap is highly delicious as well!

I recently visited Boucherie Abu Elias on Côte-Vertu & was really impressed. I ordered meat for kibbeh nayyeh, m2anik, & kafta - everything was fresh, high quality, & full of authentic flavor. You can really tell they know what they're doing when it comes to traditional products. Definitely one of the best spots if you're looking for genuine Middle Eastern butcher quality. Highly recommended!
