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.

If you're looking for authentic, delicious Lebanese food, this place is absolutely worth the visit. The sandwiches were packed with flavor, the meat was fresh & juicy, the hummus was excellent, & even the fries were seasoned perfectly. Everything tasted homemade & prepared with care.

One thing people need to understand before leaving a negative review: this restaurant is EXTREMELY busy, especially on weekends & during peak hours. Wait times of 20 to 40 minutes, & sometimes even longer, are completely normal when there's a lineup out the door. If you can clearly see dozens of people waiting ahead of you, simple math tells you the kitchen can only work so fast.

A longer wait does not mean the food is bad. In fact, it's often the opposite. Great restaurants attract crowds. Judging the quality of the food based solely on wait time isn't really fair, especially when the volume of customers is obvious from the moment you walk in.

The staff worked hard, the food was fantastic, & the restaurant was packed for a reason. Be patient, enjoy the experience, & you'll understand why so many people keep coming back. Highly recommended! 👌🔥🌯🇱🇧

C'est idiot comment les clients acceptent d'attendre plus qu'une heure pour avoir un sandwich à 17$+taxes. Comme si on distribue ça gratuitement. En plus ils sont très mal organisé on re donné la facture avec un numéro & tu dois traverser à chaque fois la foule des clients pour demander après ta commande .Un Androit à ne pas y retourner .

The food is great but the service & waiting time is not good at all. They need to hire more stuff & be more organized. Also, offer an option to order online so the food is ready once the customer arrives!
