Review Summary

Farooj Abo Alabed is widely celebrated for its exceptional charcoal-grilled chicken and authentic Lebanese flavors, with many diners describing the food as juicy, fresh, and incredibly delicious. The signature chicken sandwiches and flavorful garlic sauce frequently receive high praise, often being compared favorably to traditional meals found in Lebanon. While the atmosphere is described as beautifully decorated and welcoming, the restaurant is consistently busy, which can lead to significant wait times during peak hours. Although some visitors feel the service and portion sizes could be more consistent, many others appreciate the hard work of the staff and view the high quality of the meals as well worth the visit.

I really enjoyed the musahab sandwich. The grilled chicken had a nice flavor, & the portion was generous. It's a good option if you're looking for relatively healthy meal while you're out. I would definitely order it again.

As a Vietnamese person, I can't claim to be an expert on authentic Lebanese food, especially since so many places offer fusion or Westernized versions.

I noticed some reviews mentioning the wait time, but I think we have become so accustomed to everything being fast that we sometimes forget quality food takes time. Especially flavourful, charcoal-grilled meat.

While waiting, we had the pleasure of speaking with Lebanese customers who came all the way from Brossard. They told us the food tasted very close to home, even to what they have eaten in Lebanon, which was very reassuring.

We ordered the musahab sandwich & the kebab sandwich. Both were delicious, although the musahab was my personal favourite. For anyone who enjoys spicy food, ask for the spicy sauce. It adds the perfect kick without overpowering the flavours.

We were there at 2:30 PM & it was busy. We left at 4:00 & the line got even longer. It is a little far from where I live, but honestly, this place is worth the detour.

Great job to the entire team!

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!

'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.'

Absolutely amazing experience! The charcoal chicken was perfectly grilled-juicy, flavorful, & cooked to perfection with that authentic smoky taste. The kebab was good but next time i will change the toppings.
Without a doubt one of the best places for charcoal chicken & kebabs. Highly recommended-we'll definitely be coming back!
