Overall, reviews portray Lali's as a small, welcoming, casual spot offering flavorful and generously portioned sandwiches at good value, with crispy crusty bread and fillings that are described as fresh and satisfying. Dishes repeatedly praised include buffalo chicken, smoked meat, turkey, cubano, chopped cheese, chili dogs with loaded toppings, and a chicken parm, as well as a beef and mango pizza. The atmosphere is often described as intimate and hole in the wall, with a friendly owner and staff who are noted for hospitality, though a few reviews mention limited seating and occasional slow service during busy periods. Late opening hours make it a reliable option for a quick, satisfying meal, and many reviewers say they would return to try more items or to revisit the experience.
Came here during my lunch break. Cashier ignored me when I entered. It took her a couple minutes & she didn't even say hello. Service was a little slow despite me being alone…honestly got the chicken parm, bread was dry & taste was okay. Not worth the money.

Great late night food spot. Came in very late several nights in a row & got sandwiches, the chicken parmo, the awesome mix, & the smashed beef i think. All really good & pretty quick. Served on nice rolls with a perfect toasting.
Lali's is a small casual hole in the wall offering flavorful loaded sandwiches at a reasonable price.
The baguette-style bread is crispy & light, making it the perfect vehicle for a cheesy, saucy, & moist filling.
The buffalo chicken melt is excellent, not too spicy & filled with big chunks of juicy chicken. The chopped cheese is also good & the integration of cheese through the chopped beef kept it moist.
The chili bean loaded fries was a wonderful surprise & may be the highlight of our meal. The chili is packed with flavor & slow cooked until the beef is crumbly
All in all, we had a wonderful experience at Lali's & will be coming back to try their other sandwiches.
Stopped by last night for a quick snack after spending the evening at Cigar Lounge next door. I ordered shredded BBQ chicken sandwich. It was the best sandwich I had in a long time. This is a gem that you would not want to miss. Highly recommend it!
I'm giving this place a 5/5 because their sandwiches are downright amazing. I had a chicken mango & tandoori sandwich & I was actually in heaven when I took that first bite. Amosphere gives off "hole in the wall" vibes yet modern at the same time. Also, great location. Would recommend 👍
One of the best sandwich spots in Montreal. Everything is Halal which is cool too. I tried every single sandwich on the menu, everything is amazing including the hot dogs. My go to's are the chicken parm, onion beef & chopped.

We got the chili hot dog & the buffalo chicken parm. I loved the buffalo chicken parm the most, it was loaded & super affordable. Definitely going back to try more things.
Les sandwichs sont complètement riches & décadents. Service rapide & agréable. Juste au moment de la prise du sandwich, on constate au poids du produit sa qualité & sa générosité. Une belle balance d'acidité, de gras, de sel, de croquant & de moelleux. Je recommande fortement le Chicken Parm comme première introduction, ainsi qu'une généreuse provision de napkins.
