Abu Elias - Montreal, Quebec

Ordered a few chicken tawooq. Weren’t as I expected. Tiny dry sandwiches you’d need 4 to get full. From basic/normal/good/excellent, I choose basic. Won’t go back.

Honestly , if it wasn’t for the food I wouldn’t be going there! Despite leaving near by I would choose somewhere else! Lucky for me I never had issues with the food! But the SERVICE!! HORRIBLE! They serve their “friends” first! Seems like if you are arab you get your ... food faster than the rest! I’m sorry but if I order one sandwich and your “friend” orders half of the food, you should prioritize! Every single time it’s like that! The wait is horrible! They have a number system when you order but honestly sometimes it’s useless! It’s not because you were there first that you get your food first! Let’s just say that! They could do better on the service! That’s my main problem with them! Read more

Delicious food! I was lucky to have found this place on my trip to Montreal. A wide menu to choose from. Perfect authentic Arabian taste is like no other! Savoured every bite of my order, the grilled platter was juicy and prepared on spot. I wish they expand and have a ... place to serve the guests in the restaurant! Read more

Amazing shish touq shawrma and beef shawrma here. They take only cash !!!! Their parking is very constrained but it’s worth a try. The best most diff shawrma I’ve had in whole of canada !!

So disappointed by Abu Elias. Clear sign that Anthony cant be trusted anymore as a reliable source. Got the marinated chicken legs, raw meat and ribs. The bad: chicken thighs sadly had to be thrown out the next day. It was old and smelly. For the price tbh i was expecting ... fresh chicken. For it to spoil within a day isnt a sign of fresh chicken. It was stored along with the ribs which were amazing, so definitely not a fridge issue on my end. The raw meat was not handled according to Canadian guidance for handling raw meat which was a major disappointment given that they make “kebbe nayeh”. The ribs were delicious so no issue there. Prices are really inflated and doesn’t justify the quality. Read more
