I used to love this place because it was the ONLY Halal smoke meat spot I knew in Montreal, so I didn’t have much of a choice. At the initial stages, they were good, and their qtys were decent. Right now, you can’t order them in pounds, and I was super disappointed to see their qty serving for a combo and then the large $34 large sandwich, which cost me $90 in total. It was not enough for two people and the meat was not great at all....Not worth it at all for the price and quality. I felt like I was robbed as I went back home and checked the qty. Not recommended. I guess this is my last visit and would opt out, looking for another place.
Reviews / Ratings for ACHOURA DELI
Been coming here for years, definitely a must if you like smoked meat, good vibe, clean, and of quality!
Came here very eager to try their alleged AAA Angus smoked meat, which, by definition, AAA Angus must be marbled meat. What I got was super lean, no marbling. I've been fooled by previous customer pictures (posted 3 years back) showing well-marbled smoked meat sandwich thinking I'll receive the same thing. Note that I did ask if they have medium fat i.e. I prefer a fatty cut not lean. I was told they don't have that option here. Now see the picture - it's too lean, barely any marbling. It's more expensive compared to other smoked meat deli's but it's no different than their lean version, has a 'dry' texture to it due to the lack fat. Thankfully I didn't order the expensive plate/ assiette, $35 for just an average tasting super lean meat + bread, I'd be mad to pay this amount + tax + tips for unmarbled product & bread! I'd rather go elsewhere like Schwartz $29 large plate or Dunn's Laval $27.50 for a plate + coleslaw + fries or George's Laval cost-friendly plate is $24 with fries & coleslaw. These outlets didn't boast about AAA Angus, but the taste is much better. If you like lean meat, maybe you'll like this spot. They also mentioned they have "à l'ancienne" for a fattier option. Decently marbled & cheaper? Go elsewhere (I'd suggest Dunns medium fat has a very marbled texture, Schwartz or George's which is $11 cheaper & you even get fries/ coleslaw). If this restaurant wants to serve lean meat, they could've very well done it with cheaper briskets for the same flavour, texture & juiciness & make it more pocket friendly for customers. The process of brining & smoking & steaming the meat for long hours will anyway tenderize & keep the meat juicy. I didn't see any perceived goodness or quality from this restaurant's "AAA Angus". Sorry not coming back
Great service and amazing food!! We really enjoyed our experience here, highly recommended!
Ruben and poutine were both amazing
Best Smoke Meat Sandwich. Very tender and taste great
Worth the drive, if you around don’t skip it Meat with no smell, well seasoned !!!
Súper súper tasty. Perfectly cooked. Sterile place. Clean bathroom. Great spot
I visited this restaurant from Toronto after hearing so much about it. It definitely lived up to the hype. The food was the highlight of my trip to Montreal and the people working there are very kind.
It was definitely worth the long drive from Montreal
Excellent food, fantastic service
Seriously the best smoked meat in Quebec. Their meat is amazing. The staff is super professional and nice. I'd totally recommend this to anyone who wants good meat for a good price.
This is hands down the best smoked meat sandwich I have ever had. I’ve had many in my life, especially around Montreal, and nothing tops this one. The bread is fresh, the meat is incredibly tender, and it practically falls apart. It’s also not overloaded with moisture, so the bread stays perfectly intact instead of getting soggy. It’s honestly an unbelievable sandwich. I would absolutely drive back from Ottawa just for this. I also want to mention the fries, because they were some of the best I’ve had. They were soft on the inside, still crunchy on the outside, and packed with flavour. They were so good they didn’t even need ketchup or any dips. The coleslaw was fresh and had a really nice kick to it as well. The restaurant itself is very clean and has nice seating, which made the whole experience even better. On top of that, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
I drove all the way from Toronto, twice, just for this deli shop. The food is absolutely amazing. Wish it was a litter cheaper in terms of price because you tend to want to buy more. So good!
If you want to eat the best Smoked Meat I strongly suggest you try Achoura Deli. The owner is very kind and welcoming. The meat was delicious. It's really worth the trip!
Great place to eat a good quality halal smoked meat. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Thank you for the great food and service. 🙏🏽
Really good food and incredible service!
I visited Achoura Deli on Monday, February 16, 2026, with a friend who regularly drives all the way from Brossard just to enjoy their food — and now I understand why!We both had the Reuben, which was absolutely delicious. The smoked meat paired perfectly with Thousand Island sauce, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, along with crispy fries and refreshing black cherry soda — everything was perfect. I also ordered a smoked meat plate and a large smoked meat poutine for my family, and the poutine was amazing. It had a kind of pepper sauce that I absolutely loved — one of the best poutines I’ve had so far!I even had the chance to chat with the owner, who confirmed that their brisket is AAA Angus Halal from BC (if not mistaken). Compared to other spots, everything at Achoura is truly homemade from scratch — from the spicing, to smoking, to steaming — and it really shows in the flavor and quality.The restaurant is also impressively clean, well-organized, and has lots of parking space, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The service is excellent: the staff are friendly, welcoming, and happy to make great recommendations. The atmosphere is simple, warm, and inviting, making it a place you want to return to.Definitely a top spot in Laval for a quick meal without compromising on quality. I highly recommend them!
great taste, very kind peoplelooking to be back another time
Just a very friendly and warm place, where the host is very kind and open. The food speaks for itself, amazing corned beef style sandwhich! Don’t be turned off by the location. The kindness and authenticity shines here
The best smoked meet I've ever tried it's in Laval ...
The jumbo burger is a great choice, decent priced, and has great smoked meat. Some of the other menu items are meant for multiple people.
The Rueben sandwich was too good.
Great smoked meat! Tasty! The owners' hospitality was great as well. Ça vaut le détour!
Great quality meat very delicious.
