Overall, Lulu Épicerie receives high praise for bold, authentic Lebanese flavors with standout shawarma, manakeesh, fresh hummus, garlic sauce, and crispy batata harra, and many describe the food as among the best in Montreal; portions are generous and the breads and toppings feel freshly made, sometimes described as a revelation. Several reviewers highlight the vibrant, casual atmosphere and a wide range of Lebanese products available for takeout. Service is mixed: many describe friendly, welcoming staff and helpful recommendations, while a smaller number recount cold or inattentive treatment at the door or inconsistent attentiveness. Some diners note price and value tension, suggesting dishes can be pricey though portions are sizable, but the overall sentiment leans toward strong recommendations and a desire to return to explore more of the menu.
I had such a wonderful experience at Lulu Épicerie! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, & full of flavor. Every bite felt carefully prepared, & you can really taste the quality of the ingredients.
What I loved most was how authentic & comforting the food felt. The shawarma & manakeesh were especially AMAZING - definitely some of the best I've ever had! The staff were also so kind & welcoming.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for flavorful Lebanese food. I will definitely be returning soon! A huge thank you to the owner for introducing me to this amazing place & making the experience so special!
I ordered from Uber Eats last night, terrible food. I remember when they first opened I was one of their first customers, the quality was way better. I spent my whole night throwing up & also gotten diarrhea from their chicken shawerma. Highly don't recommend, stay away!

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.
Great Lebanese restaurant with authentic flavors. I had the cocktail mankoushe, which was perfect for breakfast or brunch. For lunch, they offer delicious taouk plates & shawarma. Highly recommended!

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.
If you're craving authentic Lebanese flavors, this place is a must-visit. The man2ooshe here takes me straight back to Lebanon.The staff is friendly, & the atmosphere feels just like a Lebanese café, with touches of the Middle Eastern charm that make it feel truly authentic. Highly recommend!
No other place for shawarma. Nothing in Montreal beats lulu's shawarma wraps.(I've tried the highest reviewed shawarma places) Though I don't recommend their fries.

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.
J'avais vu une vidéo qui ventait le pita shish taouk de ce commerce. Je me devais donc de l'essayer. Commençons par le positif : L'ambiance est sympa à l'intérieur. C'est joli & propre, la musique est exotique (pour le Québécois que je suis) & agréable, puis on offre des produits importés du Liban. La nourriture est vraisemblablement authentique. On fait bien la distinction entre shawarma & shish taouk. Il faut savoir qu'au Québec, quand on parle de shish taouk, on réfère à ce que partout ailleurs dans le monde on appelle shawarma (viande sur broche tournante). Un shish taouk est plutôt de la viande en brochette. Ce commerce assume la définition internationale, ce qui contribue à l'authenticité. J'ai commandé un pita shish taouk avec patates à l'ail. Mon pita était délicieux. La sauce à l'ail, savoureuse, & le poulet, tendre. Globalement très bon sandwhich! Mais c'est ici que s'arrête le positif. Les moins : - Les patates "à l'ail" manquaient cruellement de saveur... Quoique bien cuites, elles étaient fades & même plutôt désagréables au goût. Tristement, ce sont les pires que j'ai mangées. Je m'en étonne encore. Elles ont été sauvées de peu par la mayo à l'ail qui les accompagnait. - Le prix est beaucoup trop cher pour le format du pita & juste pour un shish taouk en général. Bien que très bon, le pita était mince & peu garni. Il ne vallait pas son prix. Même chose pour les patates. - Le service était basique & plutôt lent. Bref, je suis mitigé. Je suis globalement plus déçu que satisfait. L'authenticité y est mais il y a meilleur shawarma/shish taouk pour bien moins cher ailleurs à Montréal. Je ne peux donc pas recommander ce restaurant. Je trouve ça plate parce que le potentiel est là. Mes suggestions : - Revoir la recette de patates à l'ail pour la rendre plus goûteuse - Augmenter les portions - Baisser un peu les prix, si possible, ou offrir des combos
Really good quality food & great service provided by Michael & Youssef! Shoutout Jean Marc for introducing me to this amazing spot! 10/10. I 100% recommend!!!
