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.

I haven't been there for a few years.
Came back to meet a friend's work colleague for lunch.
It was excellent. I must say that consistency is the main thing with restaurants.
I was never disappointed & after +/- 4 years it was the same.
Bravo to the owner who is always there hovering over the employees to see that everything goes smoothly.

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.

I drove one hour just to eat here. I live all the way on the south shore east. This is the best place in the province. It is so worth it. It's the best & it's worth the gas the time.

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.
