I had almost give up on shwarma as every restaurant was overfilling & all we tasted was lettuce & garlic sauce. I m so happy have found this place. Big portions, no overfilling. Well cooked meat/chicken. Very nice atmosphere, although packed cause too popular. They will need to expand soon. The best sauces I've had in a while.

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 😍

Atmosphere is nice if you like crowded places

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.

Taste: Super delicious 5/5

Price: Good 4/5

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.

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.

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!
