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.
Le propriétaire était vraiment très gentil, rapide à servir 6 personnes, la nourriture était vraiment excellente!!! Je recommande tout à fait cet endroit pour les amateurs de sandwiches & hot dogs "coulants & cochons". Merciiii!
Delicious & large sandwiches at fair prices! The owner is very friendly & the food is always made with love. I think this place definitely deserves a try!
This is what they call'hidden gem' this is by far the best sandwiches spot in montreal. the taste of sandwiches is very delicious amazing. their pizzas are also good. you must try the chiken parma , the Buffalo & of course their special hotdogs. Highly highly recommended
Good food counter. The sandwich was pretty big(& heavy) & the price was good. I was gladly surprised. Will be eating there regularly. I should had taken a samosa
Pourquoi est-ce que personne ne parle de ce resto? Sandwich, pizza, hot dog gourmet, samosa & plus, ce petit resto familial du centre-ville est l'arrêt parfait pour un repas rapide, bourratif & abordable. Le propriétaire est tellement gentil & généreux, la nourriture est fraîche, servie chaude & savoureuse. On retrouve des combinaisons d'ingrédients qui sortent de l'ordinaire (& de la zone de confort). Mon coup de coeur est la pizza au spicy steak mais tous les autres plats étaient succulents aussi. (Sandwich au poulet parmigiana avec oeuf coulant, hot dog au smoked meat & samosa). J'y retournerai assurément.
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.

Discovered this small family-owned place serving sandwiches & pizza a couple of months ago & I've gone back several times since. Everything I've tried so far was great & the portions were very generous for the price. The hot dogs are huge & have to be the equivalent of ~3 regular steamies, & the other sandwiches are about as big. You can get an 8 or 10-inch pizza. Many vegetarian options too. It's definitely a hidden gem (...in plain sight, on Crescent). Highly recommended!
(P.S. If I may suggest one thing, to be a true Chicago hot dog, it should come with pickles & hot peppers instead of cucumbers, but their version is good too!)
Edit: if I remember correctly, the bandari & tofu sandwiches & the two burgers aren't being served since taking the menu photos.
