Review Summary

Farooj Abo Alabed is widely praised for its authentic, high-quality Lebanese charcoal grilled chicken, tender meat, and flavorful sandwiches, with many customers highlighting the excellent garlic sauce and fresh ingredients. The restaurant features a beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious atmosphere that is welcoming for families and groups. While the service is frequently described as friendly and professional, the business often experiences long wait times and occasional organizational challenges due to its high popularity and busy environment. Some patrons noted concerns regarding portion sizes relative to price and the need for better communication regarding order status, yet the overall consensus remains overwhelmingly positive, with many diners eager to return for the delicious, homemade-style meals.

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!
