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.
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!!

We stopped here on a 10 hour road trip up to Monte Tremblant & it was incredible! I'm gluten free so sadly wasn't able to eat the fries or bread but just the meat alone was fantastic!!
Fait du smoked- meat maison très bon & la sandwich reuben & la sauce brune à poutine comme à l'ancienne. Merci pour votre hospitalité...assurément qu'on va y retourné.
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!
Best smoked meat ever!!! 😍 Just had a smoked meat poutine & a sandwich. They were kind enough to give me a sample to try it out, & I absolutely loved it!

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.
From the outside, Achoura Deli might not immediately catch your eye but don't let that fool you. Step inside & you're welcomed into a warm, inviting space where the real magic happens. The food & the owners are absolutely wonderful. We ordered the Reuben & the smoked meat poutine, & both were outstanding. The smoked meat was some of the best we've ever had perfectly seasoned, tender, & incredibly flavorful. You can truly taste the difference in the quality of the ingredients. The owner prepares everything with care, using clean, fresh components, & it shows in every bite. On top of that, the owner's kindness & passion elevate the experience even further. It's rare to find a place where the food & the hospitality are equally memorable, but Achoura Deli delivers on both fronts. A definite must-visit for anyone who loves great smoked meat & genuine, heartfelt service.
