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.

Don't stress about taking turns-there's no real system. If the person making the sandwiches knows someone who came & ordered after you, even though you were waiting first, they'll still give your sandwich to them-especially if it's the same order as yours. I ordered a kafta sandwich, & was really looking forward to try it for the first time, expecting to have hummus in the sandwich. After I left, I found out they forgot to add hummus or maybe they gave me someone else's order. Guy who is handling the sandwiches, his head is not in the game. Unfocused = disappointed clients.

My favorite spot for shish taouk sandwiches. I've been coming here for over 20 years & even though I've moved away, I try to stop by here whenever I'm in town.

We ordered 1/2 kg of grilled mix. The taste was good, but compared to other places, the food here was more expensive. We paid $38 plus tax for this plate ( small skewers ), while at another restaurant we paid $27 for a mix kebab that included 4 skewers lamb, chicken, beef , salad, rice, hummus, bread, grilled tomato & garlic sauce.

Excellente boucherie, qualité incroyable, service impeccable! Vous avez un BBQ, c'est l'endroit idéal pour la viande mariné, déjà prête pour la cuisson. Bon appétit!

It was the first restaurant I try by recommendation of a local. It was a good experience & was my first time trying camel meat. Really amazing experience. I didn't give 5 stars because I want to try more places before a final verdict.
