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.
Seriously the best smoked meat in Quebec. Their meat is amazing. The staff is super professional & nice. I'd totally recommend this to anyone who wants good meat for a good price.
Si vous cherchez un excellent smoked meat à Laval, c'est l'endroit où aller sur le boulevard Dagenais ! La viande est savoureuse, parfaitement épicée & fondante. Au-delà de la nourriture, l'accueil est incroyablement chaleureux, on s'y sent tout de suite bien. C'est un commerce de quartier comme on les aime, où la qualité est constante. Une superbe adresse que je recommande fortement pour les amateurs de déli !

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.
Amazing food, great quality, & outstanding service. I truly loved the experience & will definitely be back. Highly recommended!
De loin meilleur smoke meat que j'ai deguster du haut de mes 40 ans. Service hyper agréable & courtois! La viande est tout simplement délicieuse, bonne continuation à vous , je recommande fortement & je reviendrais assurément.
Je gère un restaurant, donc j'ai l'oeil pour les détails que la plupart des gens remarquent même pas.
& honnêtement… Achoura Deli m'a impressionné.
D'abord, la propreté : c'est rare de voir un endroit aussi bien entretenu. Tout est net, organisé, rien qui traîne, même derrière le comptoir. TRÈS PROPRE
Le service aussi m'a surpris , un vrai accueil. Des gens qui connaissent comment accueillir sans que ca dépasse les limites.
& la qualité des ingrédients, c'est là que j'ai vraiment fait :'ok, WOW'.
Leur smoked meat est tendre, frais, bien cuit, sans exagération d'épices pour cacher la viande. Les légumes sont croquants, les pains sont frais, tout goûte des produits de qualité.
Bref, Achoura Deli, c'est le genre d'endroit où tu sens que chaque détail est maîtriser, c'est rare ce temps si.
Une vraie belle découverte. Je recommande sans hésiter.
Smoked meat was so good especially Sandwich N4 omg & the poutine also took fries fresh & crispy overall it the food was amazing & the place is very clean highly recommended 👌👌
Amazing Halal Montreal-style smoke meat sandwiches in Laval! Very satisfied of the combo sandwich I took! They prepare & cure the meat in-house from what I've been told. I would recommend this place for Muslims who want to try Montreal-style smoked meat. Good place to go with group of friends or even family!
I came to try Achoura Del after a friend recommended it, since I mentioned I love smoked meat but I'm picky about the taste. Honestly, this place exceeded my expectations-it's even better than the spot I used to go to before! The smoked meat is packed with flavor, tender, & perfectly done.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! On top of that, they keep introducing new smoked meat sandwiches, which makes it exciting to come back & try something different each time. Definitely a must-visit for smoked meat lovers.
Best meat I ever had! It is better than Schwartz!!! & to top it off, it ie halal
Great atmosphere & nice stuff. The restaurant is clean & they have plenty of space for huge group members! Highly recommend & I know it will be my go to Deli
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.
