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 placed an order with the restaurant for two beef kebabs & one shish tawook. Unfortunately, when I got home, I was surprised to find they had given me two orders of chicken *musahhab* & one tawook instead. I tried calling to explain the mistake, but there was no answer-I called about 17 times with absolutely no response. I had also asked for just a little bit of hot sauce, but they made the sandwich so incredibly spicy that I couldn't eat it. In the end, I paid for items I never received.I wish they would respect their customers & either answer the phone or turn it off, since they don't answer it.
Honnêtement, c'était ma première fois à cette place-là pis j'ai vraiment aimé ça! Côté goût, c'était vraiment excellent, pis la qualité est là aussi. 👌
Petit point à savoir par contre : si vous êtes sensibles aux épices ou au piquant, faites attention. Mon amie m'a dit que sa mère, par exemple, est sensible à certains assaisonnements, pis le poulet est mariné avec pas mal d'épices & de sauces qui donnent un goût assez relevé.
Pour les prix, je trouve ça vraiment raisonnable pour la qualité qu'ils offrent. Côté service, rien à dire : les employés sont souriants, accueillants pis professionnels. En plus, y'a toujours de la place pour se stationner, donc c'est super pratique.
Bref, très belle première expérience, je recommande! 😊
I understand a lot of people leave negative reviews about the place, & i hesitated so much before coming because of that, but decided to take a leap of faith & try it
🌟 SERVICE: I was definitely satisfied at the end, the staff are amazing, very friendly & patient despite how busy they are, I spoke with the management (Muhammad) about why they have so many negative reviews, & it seems like people are not accepting the long wait despite how busy & crowded it gets, he took the time to discuss it with me & address my concern, excellent customer service, some people are just not reasonable when it comes to accepting the wait time at such a busy restaurant
🌟 Food: the food was very good, the sandwiches are tasty, fries are nice & crispy, but the highlight was their Sumac garlic sauce with the fries 😍
We wait 15 min for the order, it was just sandwiches! The prices are expensive comparing to others restaurants, even we order one tabouleh, it was not good at all they just give us a small container for sauce & it was for 10$ for nothing !
I was not sure about the social media hype about his chicken. I was mentioning to people about how good it looks, someone already ate there said: not that good. I did not believe them. I went there today. I was so disappointed. First, too expensive compared to others. Second, shishtaouk skewers dry & has a weird flavor. Could be safran or other spices which is not a representation of a typical lebanese chicken. In a main dish, no salade served. Fries are so so. & last, as a lebanese, i can't believe the taste of the garlic sauce.
Recommendation: you.might win the social media but this will not last long. Give the taste of your chicken before it is too late.
I was so excited , hoping to taste a traditional lebanese chicken sandwich. Just grilling it does jot make it wow. The flavor is within.
Service: 3/5 The staff member (Food Runner) on duty was inexperienced. I ordered to dine in, but he packed my food in a takeaway bag. When I told him it was for dine-in, he simply placed the bag onto a tray & handed it to me. He wasn't very hospitable either-he didn't ask if I wanted any sauces or provide any napkins. When I asked for ketchup & mayonnaise, he just pointed at the ketchup packets & didn't offer any garlic sauce (toum) or mayonnaise.
The sandwiches are overpriced & seem to have more sauce than actual filling. There was barely any chicken, & that's basically all you taste. A better balance between sauce & ingredients would make a big difference, along with more generous & evenly distributed filling.
We paid $55.99 for the promotion, which included 4 sandwiches, 4 cans of soda, & only 2 small orders of fries. For that price, the portion size is disappointing, & the promotion doesn't even make sense. Marketing-wise, it feels like the focus is on upselling rather than offering real value. A clearer promotion design with more balanced sides would make the offer feel much fairer. Why include 4 sandwiches & 4 drinks but only 2 small fries?
We also ordered the fries sandwich, but once again it was mostly bread & sauce, with barely any fries inside. Improving the ingredient distribution would help a lot, since the sandwich should actually reflect what it promises.
Overall, I think this place is overhyped. I was really looking forward to trying it, but I left very disappointed with my experience. With better portion balance, clearer promotions, & more consistent ingredient distribution, it could be much better.
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.
My husband asked more than once for my sandwich to be made without garlic sauce. He mentioned it when ordering at the cashier, & when the order was ready, he asked again just to make sure. The employee assured him that there was no garlic sauce in the sandwich.
When we got home, the sandwich was covered in garlic sauce. This is honestly unacceptable. If a customer repeats a request many times, it should be taken seriously. It was a complete waste of our time & money. Very disappointing.
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.
