Lulu Épicerie is described as a vibrant, authentic Lebanese spot with fresh, flavorful dishes and a lively vibe, where shawarma and manakeesh are repeatedly praised for tenderness and bold flavors, and garlic potatoes or batata harra are standout sides. The food is seen as fresh and thoughtfully prepared, offering a sense of home, with quick service and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and occasional Arabic music; the space is limited, lending a takeout vibe. Reviewers often call it among the best shawarma in Montreal and a top Lebanese option, though some note price concerns or inconsistent quality, and a few visits when items were unavailable. Overall, it is highly regarded for authentic flavors, good value for the area, and a warm experience that keeps customers returning.
Would've loved to put five stars because the manoushe was delicious but the customer service was horrible. We arrived at 9 am, the guy was standing at the door looked at us turned & walked away didn't even bother opening the door. We walk in he doesn't greet us & has a grumpy look on his face as if we walked into his apartment. We ordered, he barely talked to us & told us we had to wait 20 mins.
Luckily the food was really good but we won't be going again because of his awful attitude.

So this was probably one of the best Lebanese places I visited in Montreal in a long time definitely the best in 2026 so far! Here at @luluepicerie they seem to do something a little bit different.
I can't necessarily put my finger on it but honestly it's some of the best Lebanese food I think I've ever had. I got a couple dishes from the Shawarma Mixed Plate that has both beef & chicken, a mountain of fries, fresh & homemade hummus & garlic sauce & a fattoush salad.
I wish they had some actual plates to eat out of tho🤣 especially for pics it would have looked nicer & just a better presentation especially to eat out of but they are new to the block so I'm sure that's on the way soon! But the food was honestly 10/10 foodgasmic 💦!
The Manakeesh is for real for real! We got the cheese & Zaatar combo, straight fire! & my wife got a shawarma beef wrap & it was the best I've ever had!
While my expectations were high based on the reviews & previous visits -we were sadly disappointed. Ordered the'Batata Shawarma' for the vegetarian in our group. See photo below -4 pieces of potato drowning in 2 cups of runny, over-mayonnaised coleslaw. Also ordered the LuLu shawarma chicken bowl. At 630p on a Friday, they didn't have tabouleh. So they gave me'fatoush' (not authentic as missing the crispy pita chips) & another 2 cups of that runny, over-mayonnaised coleslaw (see photo of that runny coleslaw). Chicken was tasty but everything else was'meh'.
J'aurais voulu essayer les manakich mais ils sont offerts jusqu'à 15:00 seulement.
Tout est typique libanais, l'ambiance, le décor, les produits sur les tablettes & la musique. Chouette place. Les frites sont délicieuses avec l'assaisonnement aux épices.
Mes collègues & moi avons commandé hier (mercredi 7 janvier) via Uber … comme on dit si bien, une photo vaut mille mots…
Je vous laisse constater le désastre par vous-même. Pas besoin de spécifier que c'était pas mangeable!
Je sais pas ce qui se passe chez Lulu épicerie depuis certains temps mais la qualité se dégrade de plus en plus avec ce commerce… c'est dommage parce que ca a déjà été très bon, c'est un restaurant qu'on aimait bien avant & on commandait souvent. Mais ça fait quelques fois qu'on commande récemment & c'est un désastre absolu. C'est rendu ridicule, payer plus de 100$ & recevoir de la viande & du pita complètement brulé, je vais laisser faire. J'aurais été plus satisfait avec du McDo pour la moitié du prix!
Absolutely incredible Lebanese food. Every bite was a full-on flavor explosion…I can't emphasize that enough!!! Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, & thoughtfully prepared. We honestly wished we had a bigger appetite just to try more of the menu.
There are a few tables if you want to eat in, but it definitely has more of a takeout vibe. Either way, the food is outstanding. We'll 100% be back.

Very nice staff. Quality ingredients. Had the Shwarma & the manakeesh. Both very tasty but loved the flavor combination of the manakeesh a lot. We were told to order it'fully dressed' with the veggies & mint; it was delicious!
I went in on Tuesday evening about half hour before close & was told they were out of chicken shawarma, so I ordered the chicken plate to go. Unfortunately, when I got home the chicken tasted extremely off with a strong barnyard flavour that I couldn't get past. I've had chicken from here before & it never tasted like this.
I tried calling to let them know, but it was just after closing & no one answered, which is totally fair. Their voicemail was full, so I couldn't leave a message. I tried again the next day because I was worried they might still be serving the same chicken, but still no answer. I live across the city, so I wasn't about to transit over & turn my day into a Curb Your Enthusiasm skit of me chasing down the musty chicken seller.
I really did try to speak with management privately, but since the restaurant was unreachable I'm leaving this as a friendly note to please double-check product at the end of the night. I understand things happen & I've had great shawarma here before, but the food quality was a miss this time.
