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.

When it's busy expect to wait 30 minutes for your food, the food is great, the staff hustles, the only thing that I find annoying is watching the owner count his money & take pictures of the lineups instead of cleaning the filthy tables & sweeping the filth on the floor when all the workers are hustling making orders, if I see him acting like he is better than the employees again I will definitely stop eating here & will encourage others to do the same.

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!

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.
