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.

Got some pastries, muhammara, chicken breast & ground beef. Everything was fresh, clean & with high standard. This is my first time visiting the shop, so I took some extra manaeesh to stock in the freezer. Staff were friendly & professional. I would go there again for sure.

Best hummos in Montreal! Could be a bit slow due to high demand + there's an automatic sense of priority given to prettier women, it's funny 🙂

Small Sandwish ✅ A fail in toum sauce ✅ Disappointing Vine leaves ✅ My tawouk was mediocre so was the kafta, this place has more reputation than it should
