I tried Abo Alabed for the first time yesterday. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be this good because the reviews were a bit mixed. We ordered the regular & spicy musahab sandwiches along with a whole grilled chicken, & everything was absolutely delicious.
We enjoyed it so much that we went back again today & ordered the same thing. The grilled chicken was tender, juicy, & full of flavor-not dry at all. It was perfectly seasoned without being overpowering.
The musahab sandwich was amazing. The balance between the garlic sauce & the chicken was just right, & every bite was fresh & flavorful.
I also have to mention how incredibly clean the restaurant was. It honestly reminded me of being back home, both in terms of the cleanliness & the quality of the food.
Definitely a 10/10. I'll definitely be coming back!

If you're looking for authentic, delicious Lebanese food, this place is absolutely worth the visit. The sandwiches were packed with flavor, the meat was fresh & juicy, the hummus was excellent, & even the fries were seasoned perfectly. Everything tasted homemade & prepared with care.

One thing people need to understand before leaving a negative review: this restaurant is EXTREMELY busy, especially on weekends & during peak hours. Wait times of 20 to 40 minutes, & sometimes even longer, are completely normal when there's a lineup out the door. If you can clearly see dozens of people waiting ahead of you, simple math tells you the kitchen can only work so fast.

A longer wait does not mean the food is bad. In fact, it's often the opposite. Great restaurants attract crowds. Judging the quality of the food based solely on wait time isn't really fair, especially when the volume of customers is obvious from the moment you walk in.

The staff worked hard, the food was fantastic, & the restaurant was packed for a reason. Be patient, enjoy the experience, & you'll understand why so many people keep coming back. Highly recommended! 👌🔥🌯🇱🇧

'The food was very good, especially the chich grilled sandwich. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, & freshly prepared. The staff were friendly & the restaurant was clean. The only downside was the wait time - it took about 35 minutes to get my sandwich, which felt a bit long. That said, the quality of the food made up for it. Overall, a good experience & I would come back again.'

I went twice already . The first time I ordered the sandwich signature spicy it was very good & today I tried the semi farouj & to be honest it was k not the best farouj I've had. But overall it's very fresh & tender.
