Overall, Achoura Deli earns praise for halal Montreal style smoked meat that is made in house, tender and flavorful, with favorites like the classic smoked meat sandwich, the Rueben, and a memorable smoked meat poutine. The meat is described as AAA Angus Halal from BC and the preparation from spice to smoke as homemade, contributing to a flavor that many compare favorably to bigger names. Staff and owners are consistently called friendly, warm, and attentive, with guests pointing to hospitality and helpful recommendations. The restaurant is noted for being clean, well organized, and spacious with easy parking, making the visit pleasant. While some reviews mention higher prices, the consensus is that quality and taste justify the cost. Takeout is available, but a few diners felt the experience differed, sometimes noting drier bread or less tenderness than dining in. Halal options and authenticity are emphasized, and many travelers say the place is worth driving for, even from other cities. Multiple opinions call it a hidden gem and among the best smoked meat spots in Laval and Montreal. In short, Achoura Deli stands out for real, homemade flavor, generous portions, and heartfelt service that keeps customers returning.
I visited Achoura Deli on Monday, February 16, 2026, with a friend who regularly drives all the way from Brossard just to enjoy their food - & now I understand why!
We both had the Reuben, which was absolutely delicious. The smoked meat paired perfectly with Thousand Island sauce, sauerkraut, & Swiss cheese, along with crispy fries & refreshing black cherry soda - everything was perfect. I also ordered a smoked meat plate & a large smoked meat poutine for my family, & the poutine was amazing. It had a kind of pepper sauce that I absolutely loved - one of the best poutines I've had so far!
I even had the chance to chat with the owner, who confirmed that their brisket is AAA Angus Halal from BC (if not mistaken). Compared to other spots, everything at Achoura is truly homemade from scratch - from the spicing, to smoking, to steaming - & it really shows in the flavor & quality.
The restaurant is also impressively clean, well-organized, & has lots of parking space, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The service is excellent: the staff are friendly, welcoming, & happy to make great recommendations. The atmosphere is simple, warm, & inviting, making it a place you want to return to.
Definitely a top spot in Laval for a quick meal without compromising on quality. I highly recommend them!
Walked in & immediately felt like I was meant to be here. Abdurahman is an absolute legend with hospitality. The food spoke for itself, the quality was impeccable! We ordered the Classic Smoked Meat Sandwich Combo (Number 1) & the Rueben Sandwich (Number 4). We also ordered the Smoked Meat Poutine to take home! The place was spotless & the ambience was nice & cozy. Highly recommend if you want real authentic HALAL Smoked Meat! Will definitely be coming back again to try the Steak & more smoked meat!!

I visited Ashoura Deli for the first time & ordered a smoked meat sandwich. I usually go to Montreal when I want this kind of sandwich, but a friend recommended this place-& it was a great recommendation.
The smoked meat was delicious, full of flavor, & very well prepared. What really made the experience special was the person who served me. He was incredibly kind & welcoming, invited me to see the smoked meat & how it's sliced, & even generously offered me a good portion to taste.

A hidden gem in North Laval & very much worth the trip. The smoked meat is superior to any smoked meat I tasted in montreal. Make sure you order fries & a black cherry soda. Very highly recommended.
First time I tried Halal smoked meat in MTL & wow it's was delicious. I liked the original one. Simple & classy. Highly recommend it for the experience. Staff very respectful & friendly. Will definitely come back ✨ Come here with your family & friends to support Muslim owner.
All the reviews you see here are legit. This is the best smoked meat shop & probably ahead of anything you can find across Canada. The folks at customer service are absolutely awesome & kind. The bathrooms are well kept & so are overall dining areas. Highly recommend anything from this shop - the meat melts in your mouth & is softer than bread!!
A warm welcome, amazing food, & unbeatable portions! The smoked meat was perfectly spiced & the bun was soft & fresh. The best smoked meat sandwich I've ever had. The owner was so kind - you can feel the passion behind the food & the service. Highly recommended!

We came all the way from Ottawa & it was absolutely worth it. The food was amazing, especially the Ruben. It was so good my brother grabbed a second one before we left! The service was excellent, the place was spotless, & best of all, everything is halal. You can really tell the owner is passionate about his work. Highly recommend!
