I had an amazing experience at Abu El zulof. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and authentic, with beautiful decor and a welcoming vibe. The food was absolutely outstanding. The mezze selection was especially impressive — fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The hummus was incredibly creamy, the fattoush was bright and refreshing, and every small dish was prepared with great attention to detail. The meats were juicy and well-seasoned. What really made the night special was the live entertainment. They have a great program with a singer and a belly dancer, which created such a fun and lively atmosphere. It felt like a full cultural experience, not just a dinner. Overall, this place is a must-try if you’re looking for authentic Arabic cuisine and a memorable night out. Great food, great service, delicious mezze, and amazing entertainment — I’ll definitely be coming back!

I rarely write reviews, but Abu El Zulof deserves every word of praise. From the moment you step in, the vibe is nothing short of outstanding—sophisticated, high-end, and buzzing with positive energy. The weekend event night is particularly marvelous; it transforms an already exceptional meal into a celebration. The food? Simply unparalleled. The cold mezza alone sets a new standard—especially the muhammara, which is rich, nutty, and perfectly spiced. The fried kibbeh is a revelation: crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. And the house-made bread? Warm, fragrant, and absolutely addictive. Every main dish I tried was flawless—refined, balanced, and tasting of top-tier craftsmanship. Even with a full house, the service team remained amazing—attentive, warm, and professional. That level of care when every table is occupied speaks volumes. If you’re looking for a five-star culinary journey that feels both inspiring and genuinely memorable, Abu El Zulof is the destination. I’ll be back—and I suggest you book your weekend night soon.

It's quite confusing the high rating of this restaurant. I went with the entire family (old and young) and I must say that the service was terrible. We were one of only 3 customer tables and the appetizers took over 20 minutes to arrive. We also ordered the mix grill which was another disappointment - charred chicken and meat with a strange after taste - and filet Mignon that was either rare or well done all in the same platter. I came here 3 years ago and it was the same subpar quality and food - but I figured it's OK they weren't open long. Yet here we are 3 years after, same subpar service and food, only a nice decor. Never coming back again.

We love coming here whenever we are in Montreal. The food, the service and the atmosphere are excellent. Ola, our server was very pleasant and she made sure to have the kitchen make us Katayef even though they only serve those for Iftar. Abu El Zulof is the next best thing to my mom’s cooking.

The design of the place is outdated not my preference and the service wasn’t that good. 1 server will be working for all the table so things will take a minute when I was there. The food is really good

We visited this place about a year ago and had a great experience, which is why we decided to come back yesterday with a friend who was visiting. Unfortunately, this time it was extremely disappointing. In total we waited about two hours. My friends arrived an hour before me and were told it would be “a few minutes.” When I arrived and we asked again, we were told “three minutes,” but those three minutes turned into about forty minutes. During the last 20 minutes we saw two tables become available, yet people who were behind us in line were seated first, and some guests were even allowed to skip the line. The hallway was packed with around 25 people waiting, and the whole situation was very disorganized. If the wait is long, it would be much better to create a waiting list and tell guests approximately how long they need to wait. In the end we left after two hours and went to Kenzo, where we actually had a great evening. Unfortunately, this experience completely ruined our plans to spend the evening here.

I am on a business trip, from Vancouver. Did not know the restaurant closes at 7 pm, Rahman was gracious enough to serve me for my iftar (breaking of fast). It was a sumptuous dinner, staring with a date to salad to the main course. Nine delicious items. I will visit them for yet another break of fast in a couple of days. I wish they open a location in Vancouver.
