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.
How are people liking this place so much?! Yall have no taste. This sandwich was not good at all. 19% of the sandwich was this mayo-based sauce that would drip out onto my hands with each bite. It completely dominated the flavour of the smashed onion beef & made the sandwich so messy to eat. I could still taste the cheap quality of the meat though. This place has done nothing to make the space it's own - the layout is the exact same as Bossa which was here before them. They are even using their same board for the menu, which I found lazy. Sitting here was a bleak experience. Staring into the wall eating my sandwich with no music playing. The girl working was a nervous wreck, no idea why she is in customer service. She seemed to get extremely anxious anytime I said something to her. I ordered pickup here through Ubereats. I know a lot of places charge more for uber eats delivery, but for pickup they don't incur the same fees. So I was shocked to see that I paid a few dollars more just because I ordered through the app rather than call them. I pointed this out to the staff & they didn't really do anything about it. It might be that I just chose the wrong type of sandwich, maybe even just an off day for this place - but my experience here does not reflect these other good reviews I'm seeing.
Ordered the montreal smoked meat sandwich & it might have been the best thing I've eaten all year! Price is reasonable for the size & taste of this sandwich.

GREATEST sandwich I've ever eaten 👌🏻🩷. You absolutely have to try the "Awesome mix" sandwich. They should have a bigger patio to eat outside but apart from that, everything was perfect. Both our sandwiches were delicious.
This is the place to go! Great portions, quick service, really good, fresh, high quality & family owned. This is my second visit this week, you won't regret it. 17$ avg p/p.
This is a sick little fast food joint. They over hot & cold sandwiches, hot dogs with different toppings, loaded fries. The place is tiny but their food compensates for it. I got the chili dog & it was a BIG portion.
Le propriétaire est adorable & très gentil. Petit restaurant familial où les produits sont frais. J'ai testé les samoussas qui étaient très bons, un peu épicé. Je retournerai pour tester le reste.

Il sont très accueillants tout les nourritures que j'ai commandé j'ai jamais étais déçu que des 10 sur 10 pour moi elle fait partie des top 5 meilleur restaurant de Montréal mais pas cinquième.
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!
Amazing! I'm at a loss for words. An amazing respectful family running a restaurant with top notch food. If you want flavourful food, you don't go any further. I'm a regular customer for sure now. Thank you Lali's!
