Review Summary

Farooj Abo Alabed offers a highly praised dining experience characterized by authentic, fresh, and flavorful charcoal chicken and signature sandwiches that many diners compare favorably to meals back home. While the food quality, especially the garlic and spicy sauces, receives consistent acclaim for its tenderness and taste, the restaurant experiences significant challenges regarding long wait times and occasional organizational issues during peak hours. Some customers note difficulties in reaching the location by phone and express concerns about pricing or rare instances of inconsistent food preparation, yet the welcoming atmosphere and professional staff maintain a strong reputation. Overall, patrons frequently recommend the restaurant as a standout destination in Montreal, with many expressing a desire to return for the high-quality, delicious meals.

The food quality is excellent, & the whole chicken is a standout dish. However, there are a few areas that could be improved to enhance the overall customer experience. Specifically, the portion sizes-particularly the fries-feel disproportionate to the higher pricing. Additionally, proactively including extra garlic sauce with orders, rather than requiring customers to request it, would be a welcome touch. Ultimately, I deducted two stars due to these concerns regarding overall value & portion generosity.

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!
