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.

You're hungry you're at Notre Dame Ouest walking the streets next to Épicerie Lulu. You must absolutely get a sandwich here or grilled pita. It's absolutely delicious with a good kick with the spices as well. Bless this store & their food.
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!
I really want to love this place, but it just won't let me. I've been coming since the pre-opening party. They started out with a bang but declined so quickly. The quality is extremely inconsistent; some days it's good, other days it's plainly insulting.
At this price point, there's no excuse for that kind of fluctuation. The menu isn't complicated; it just requires more integrity & stronger management. I know I'm not alone, this has become a common experience in the community. I truly hope things improve, because the concept is fantastic.
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.
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.
