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!
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'.
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.

We had the chicken shawarma & the cheese & za'atar (moitíe-moitíe) manakeesh. It was all delicious & flavorful & made fresh. They were also super nice.
Got the chicken shawarma pita & batata harra, really good. A tiny tad too much lemon but really good overall. Found the pita a bit dry, either the chicken or sauce not spread evenly but I'm nitpicking. Good portion. ~21$ total. Would go back!
Wow sincèrement un des meilleurs shawarma de Montréal, goût super authentique, on a adoré, seul bémol le ratio quantité/ prix, le sandwich poulet était minuscule d'où les 4 étoiles.

Really like this place. Had the cheese manoushe & chicken shawarma. The manoushe was thin crust & properly made, the shawarma was perfect, also really generous with the amount of chicken in the sandwich.
A little taste of home!!! What a cute little place. You can get Mediterranean food & especially Lebanese manakish & shawarma. The taste is authentic & service is friendly. I wish they do manakish all day long but I know its worth the hype!
Two Shawarmas + the hospitaluty, smile & pleasantness of Mo is exactly what you need in Montreal at around noon on a hot Saturday day. Great little place in a beautiful neighborhood. We went for chicken & beef & we will definitely come back to go throug the whole menu!
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!
