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.

Delicious fist time, the bread is oven baked before your eyes, you can tell how fresh the food is, for two people one chicken & beef shawarma 33.05$ tax in with tip. But you pay for the flavour & the it's worth paying a little more for such a great product. Although they are wrapped tight & look small they are super filling & just perfect. Thank you ! Can't wait to try more.
Amazing food, best shawarma I had in QC. The manakeesh, shawarma, & grilled plate are all good. Filet mignon was done perfectly. You can't go wrong with anything here. There are only a couple of small tables in the back to use, so take your food to go if it's busy.
My recent dining experience at this Lebanese gem left me utterly impressed & thoroughly satisfied! From the moment I stepped into the bustling restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. The initial wait to place my order was pleasantly managed by the cashier, who, despite the busy atmosphere, extended a sincere apology & even offered me a complimentary drink. When I declined, the generosity didn't stop there - I was presented with a special Lebanese chocolate, which I had as a dessert later on. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. I indulged in the Shawarma wrap, Manakeesh with zaatar, cheese, & lahem ba ajin. Every dish was a symphony of flavors, but the Shawarma wrap & the lahem ba ajin stole the spotlight. The Shawarma was a perfect blend of succulent chicken & savory goodness, while the lahem ba ajin was exceptionally tasty & loaded with flavor. The staff's friendliness & genuine hospitality were evident throughout my visit, making me feel not just like a customer, but a welcomed guest. The extra mile they went with the complimentary treat showcased their commitment to ensuring a memorable experience for every diner. Overall, this Lebanese restaurant exceeded my expectations in terms of both service & cuisine. The flavors were authentic, the atmosphere was lively, & the staff went above & beyond to make my visit special. Without a doubt, I will be returning to savor more of their delectable offerings. Five stars - this place is a true culinary delight!
This was the best shawarma I've eaten in my 20 years of existence. They also have the best garlic sauce known to mankind & the most welcoming host!! An absolute 10/10 would TOTALLY recommend.

Honestly best shawarma & wraps I've had. Beats every spot in Toronto, montreal, & ottawa. Had to get it one last time before I headed back home. Bring your store to toronto, guaranteed to kill it.
I went here with my 2 sons for a nice Tuesday lunch. The food was fantastic, & the staff were so friendly. You can tell that they cook their food with love. I can't wait to try more things on their menu.
Best shawarmas & manakish outside of Lebanon hands down. Michael & Youssef are awesome. Great place 10/10 would recommend to anyone craving authentic Lebanese street food
For context as it may be important, we showed up about half an hour before closing time. We ordered two shawarma plates & bought 2 ramen packs & the total came to $60 something. Definitely pricey but I expected something good inside my container. Got home & opened it to find only meat, French fries, a flat bread, a little coleslaw & garlic sauce. Nothing more. No pepperoncini, pickled turnip, or any of the classic shawarma stuff. Also French fries instead of garlic potatoes or rice or something was a bit of a let down. For the price we paid, I did not expect the basic we got :(
