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.

...& to think I was oblivious to their Kibi nayeh for the first couple of years after I was introduced to Abu Elias. Don't make the same mistake. Go for the Kibi nayeh.

Taste is good, lamb kebab sandwich seems small for 10$.

They have amazing sandwiches, been going there for years! Unfortunately they often make mistakes when you want to customize your order. Today I ordered by the phone & confirmed the specific changes I wanted to my sandwiches & she repeated exactly what I asked for. When I picked them up & went home, they 2 of the 5 sandwiches weren't as I requested. I recommend just eating the sandwich as is...

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

The absolute freshest, most delicious, & flavourful food! I always take the mixed platter for a variety & it never disappoints. Besides the quality of the food, the service is great, the people are warm & make you feel welcomed! An absolute must if you're visiting Montreal but want to have a taste of Lebanon.

1/2 grillade mix pour 31 dollars c'est nul la quantité & la qualité.

Use to be way better. Not worth spending my hard earned money when it's hit or miss.
