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.
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!
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.
Good food & good service. Had the chicken sandwich, it was tasty & fresh. It's a good casual sandwich place with tasty & authentic marinade. Go have a look!
We had the chicken shawarma & the cheese & za'atar (moitíe-moitíe) manakeesh. It was all delicious & flavorful & made fresh. They were also super nice.
Very nice atmosphere. The sound system is amazing. The sandwiches are tasty the food is fresh & daily prepared from scratch. The team is friendly & bilingual. I would highly recommend this place.

Incredible sandwiches & potatoes! Got there pretty close to closing & they were out of shawarma, but the kafta sandwich was really good. Garlic potatoes were incredible, super fresh & crispy with a spicy oil & great garlic sauce. The place is really brightly lit & the staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming. They gave me a free water cup without making me buy a bottle which I appreciated!
Really good middle eastern food! We weren't sure what to order so the owner recommended the shawarma. It was the right choice. It was a little smaller than others I've had, though it was tightly packed & very flavourful. No complaints here. I also had the Kafka which was also fantastic. Fresh out of the fryer & delicious. If you're in the neighborhood you need to drop by.
Lulu, this time with Mo. His service was outstanding-he served us with a smile & positive energy. As always, the food was fantastic & prepared quickly. The fresh homemade pita was excellent, & the chicken & kebabs were incredibly juicy. Lulu continues to use the same high-quality ingredients they did a year ago, which I truly appreciate. The portions are very generous.
The best lunch spot in St. Henri. From the tasty shawarma with perfectly grilled bread to the most fresh manakish - Lulu is a must. My personal favourites are the chicken shawarma sandwich & the lahme baajin manakesh but everything is a slam dunk from Lulu.
I just had the best manakish of my life. They baked it as you order & they add fresh veggies & mint (not that very acidic veggies that we encounter in other places, the real fresh stuff). I gave 4 stars to the ambience because it was not that comfortable to eat inside with small kids (they didn't reach the table properly). Ah, the swarma plate that was excellent too. I really loved that you can see the kitchen & notice how clean it is.

The most perfect authentic Lebanese sandwiches in Montreal! Everything was fresh & delicious! The Shawarma Poulet divine. As was a variety of the mannkeesh we tried. Highly recommend you visit when in the area.
Amazing food freshly prepared by lebanese great service & fast got my food in 5 min Also the manager there is really nice & makes sure everyone is happy with what they got.
Awesome place to pick up a Lebanese sandwich or anything grilled! They make their pitas fresh from dough baked in their oven, & it comes out beautifully puffed before they fill it with piping grilled meats. Worth a try & you definitely get a bang for your buck. It doesn't seem like it in the pictures, but the decor & vibe of the place is "Lebanese street food" where you can also pickup some drinks, & marinated meats. Great to try for bbq season ;)
Food was excellent, we ate it so quickly no one managed to take a picture :) The bread & little pizzas were super fresh. Had a chat with a fella serving us about hummus & can confirm - it was excellent. Smoooooth & tasty. Will stop by again soon.
Perfect spot for a bite to eat before a show at the Banfield Theater. The chicken sandwich was supreme & the fresh crunchy/chewy saj wrap was top notch. The service was also very sweet. I will be back ❤️✌🏻 (the apple malt drink is yummy!)
