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.

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!

I bought meat from them, & unfortunately, most of the pieces had a lot of fat & bones, & the quality was not as expected. In addition, the price was quite high compared to the quality provided. I hope the quality can be improved to match the pricing.
