I'm loving Altaib! It's become my go to spot of Lebanese takeout in town. Very friendly staff, generous servings and the food is all fresh and very tasty. At some Lebanese places I find that the meat can be a bit dry, but at Altaib it is always nice and tender. And most importantly their garlic sauce is excellent and they're not stingy. read more

Went for a quick bite, since I am in rush for Appointments. I heard about this spot from many friends. Since, it was on my way, I went in. It's small place; I see it's perfect place for students to pick up food and go. My sister and I ordered pizzas; my sister got a cheese slice and I got hot peppers with sausage slice. It was a generous slice for the price I paid. The pizza was perfect to the T. Service was very quick. I look forward to come back here again. read more

Amazing food and service. Meat a little dry but everything else was on point. The owner made us feel like in Mama's kitchen. Big portions that will satisfy most. Quick service. Absolutely worth the price. read more

Altaïb - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I use to come here so often during my student days at Concordia, however tonight it was below average! So disappointed with Altaib .. what happened to your quality of service & food I'm sobbing!!! Ok so we came in after a party to grab something filling yet delicious. They use to be known for super fresh food during late night hours. The Ambiance was kind of dull this time. Not too many people as I am use to seeing it. The service was a disaster... there were 3 guys at the counter and they looked completely lost! They asked us 3 times our order of pizza and falafel lol how hard is it to remember an order of a slice of pizza & falafel sandwich JESUS!! It was slow and I felt completely ignored. The guy was so rude and just wanted me out of there. I asked him for a plastic bag since we took it to go and didn't even look at me to say ok nothing he just took the bag in a slow motion way and handed to me in a weird condescending way...Wow :/ not cool! I took a mixed plate from the buffet option and added a slice of pizza. The food was super cold and not fresh as it use to be ! I ordered a pizza with extra olives .. i was appalled.. He gave me maybe like 5 littles olive slices .. super generous right? "the beauty of irony " Overall, I was so disappointed and unhappy with my service and food quality .. don't think I want to come back here again unfortunately:/ read more

Was looking for some late night food. And went to a old time fav. Please see review CLEANLINESS The place looked like it had not been clean for a wile. Floors were dirty and items were half full. It also looked like that because there was only one worker working and he was doing his best COST Two slices of cheese pizza and a large plate 30 dollars . Seems on the higher side to me. WAIT TIME Had to wait for the pizza as he Burt the first two slices. PARKING It's hit or miss here I was lucky to find some just a few minute walk froM store LOCATION Next to Concordia next to metro station GUY CONCODIA STAFF he was all by himself and was doing his best to keep up. What he could do alone was amazing He should get 5 stars just for him Not sure if I would go back. Price to quality is moving in the opposite direction read more

I LOOOOVE this place! Their pizzas are good but seriously you have to try their pita wraps! Only $2.50 it's unbelievable how far your money goes here. I usually order their "spicy meat pita" or "laham blajen" (make sure they put mint leaves in it!!) Sometimes they're "out" of mint which pisses me off.. they need to really stock up on that stuff!! Out of all the restaurants in Montreal, once my plane lands, I am here within 24 hours. No joke. read more

A solid place with lots of options in a reasonable price. Most of the items are sold by weight and they have lots of salad/vege options as well as variants of fried chicken. But my absolute favorite here is their lentil. It's thick, not too spicy or salty and the warmth of it can instantly cheer someone up. You can add red chili flakes if you want to have extra warmth ;) read more

I just had a ridiculous experience with Altaib at Guy Street. Yesterday i specifically mentioned at restaurant that i need NORMAL/THICK CRUST or in other words NORMAL/THICK Base.Used my index and thumb to indicate it's a normal and not thin Base. Guess , what ? I got thin slice.I understand.Mistakes happen. Guy got me a new Pizza.Left him with tip as well despite waiting for long time. Few minutes ago, i called for pickup and mentioned again with keywords THICK/NORMAL CRUST OR THICK/NORMAL Base. I did mention i came yesterday and they made THIN base and i don't want this again. Repeated my ORDER TWICE. I go to Restaurant and I got same thin slice. If this was not enough, The Guy told me it was my mistake that I DON'T MENTION ANYTHING. I work in restaurant too.I take orders for delivery as well. I make mistakes as well.But never in my life i act so PATHETIC. If you want to serve, serve with love and respect not with a "fuck off with your Food" Attitude. read more

Funny little place, we enjoyed it, but it was hard to understand the menu and options. We got two slices of pizza, nice and I did a plate at the salad bar, by the pound. Fresh cheap and nice, I would love to know what I should have ordered. read more

Look, I'm from New York and there has never been a Montreal slice that has impressed me, but I live in the the neighborhood and this is my go-to spot for a halal pepperoni slice after a night out of drinking (yep, I know, but we pick and choose our vices in my house). Decent pizza at a very reasonable price. read more

I hadn't been here in about 10 years, and I am so glad it still exists. What a gem! I always order the circular cheese pizza with all the toppings inside (all dressed). It's a steal at $6. What great value for the food. It's simply delicious take out. Been here forever and for good reason. read more

This place has defined my drunk nights while I was in university. Their pizza is a wonderful thing.... even now when I return (not as drunk) I still enjoy some Al Taib. While not the best middle eastern food (I would recommend Boustan for that - just a block away) - but their pizza is unique. They got an express location as well that serves faster - this is more the sit-down place. Excellent stuff! read more

Every once in a while I stop here for a quick bite after 3am. Pizzas are good, check my picture. I usually take a Mexican and a toute garnie. I would only go for Pizzas, the buffet doesn't look appealing to me. read more

Altaïb - Mexican and toute garnie. - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Over the years, Al-Taib has expanded beyond belief. Hitting every corner of the Concordia Quarter, they've done quite well for themselves! However, with their success, they have lost much quality in their output. Not only have prices risen dramatically due to popularity, but they don't seem to care very much about the quality of the service and food. I've lived in the area for about 23 years, and have seen and experienced the drastic changes take place. The service comes off dull and there isn't much 'friendliness' in the factor; now sure, their job requirements don't include becoming buddy-buddy with customers, however, minimal effort to be friendly and accommodating would at least make the experience more enjoyable. They always seem to be talking amongst themselves and respond monotonously to the customer's order. On rare occasion though, you'll get a more 'focused' server. As far as mana'eesh goes, I'd recommend: Feta, Zaatar, Cheese, half Zaatar/Cheese, or the Lahme B'ajine. Adding toppings will cost you extra, but a few of them are good, such as: Mint, Olives, Turnips, or Tomatoes. The food quality is not bad, it tastes good when fresh, but sometimes the dough can come out real thick, original toppings may be scarce, added toppings may not be the most fresh, and other times your pizza or mana'eesh will be dripping in oil... Nowadays, I'd rather go elsewhere and get something better that costs less too. read more

Me and my husband had to do heads or tail because i wanted to try Al-Baghdadi up the street and he wanted to try this one, so since it was 1 AM, we decided we would try Al-Tabib first. Entering the restaurant, theres is a salad bar, which i found quite nice, the restaurant also has an upstairs dinning room, which we found to be quite messy, not dirty, just like old food plates on about every table. We took a while to decide what we wanted and the guy seemed quite annoyed about it(even tho there was no one else in line) so we finally got a cheese/zaatar manakish, he got a beef manakish because they din't have shawarma, and a normal slice of pepperoni pizza. For the food i can say it was pretty good, the bread on the manakish was great, despite not my favourite mix of spices(i really wanted to try the zaatar) the food was good, my husband really liked it. 12$ for two manakish, a pizza and 2 water bottles is good. read more

Great halal good with a fantastique veggie selection. There is a oven with take out pizza. I prefer the cold and warm buffet . the cold buffet has exotic salad section with different sauces. I love zaatar. I recommend to get all dressed. I like the light feeling of after eating fresh food and this restaurant provides it. There is WiFi available and big screen television upstairs. Best place for Concordia students to take a break from studying read more

I've been coming here for years and overtime, I noticed their service had been getting poorer and poorer. The food isn't as tasty and well quality as the first time I came here but if you're looking for a decent meal, I'd recommend others to give it a try. read more

I go here when I need food in like 1 minute flat. They are very smart and efficient. The pizza isn't really for me. The rubber cheese is a bummer and I find I get hearburn from alot of their stuff. The flatbreads all dressed are great value and filling and healthy so I eat those on the run. Go to Al-Bagdadi if you have a bit more time and want to really enjoy a properly made flatbread I like their salad bar but it is quite pricy very nice staff read more

Al-Taib is fantastic. With a menu in French and Arabic, it has to be good! The pizza here is really good, and the service is quick as well. This is key if you are out shopping and want a quick bite or are out late night and want a slice before going out to the bars. The funniest pizza is the "Mexicaine", I never knew there was such a thing as a Mexican pizza. I guess you learn new things in Montreal. read more

All I have to say is dude. I got the poulet slice (chicken) pizza and it was pretty good and fresh. The bread it was made on was crisp and the chicken was cut as thin as to resemble ham and not overpower the cheese. I liked it so much, I ordered 2 lol. read more

This place is located in a great location. We stopped here on our way back from Mont Royal. It isn't too far from the base and is located close to the universities. It was a great price. We had falafels. They were alright, but just alright. There were no pickled turnip and the falafels were a bit on the dry side. It is alright if you are looking for something fast and cheap but if you are looking to enjoy your food I would pass. read more

Cheap but rude at times. I experienced it twice. The food is varied and cheap and if you go within busy hours it is mostly fresh as well read more

Literally made me stand there 30 mins before even beginning to work on my order, while 8 different people came in, ate and left. I am 8 months pregnant, very obviously carrying a child, went into this place and ordered large poutine and a zatar lebanese makaneesh. They took my order and I paid the bill and that was it, they didn't tell me how long it might take ir anything, I can understand cooking somethinf might take long from scratch but it really got to me qhen I saw them making multiple large pizzas from scratch to finish while there was no sign or my order. After about 30 min, I see the guy cutting potatoes, this relly pissed me off. I mean seriously!!! They had 3 people in the back and 2 at the front and they decided to make the pregnant lady wait. They had heted up up makaneesh within 5 mins of ordering so by the time my poutine was ready, the makaneesh was cold and hard as rock. Never going to this place again let alone recommend it to anyone. read more

Al-Taib is delicious and so freaking cheap! A student's dream come true... You can order a feast of some of the most tastiest and freshest food in Montreal for 5-10$. The falafel sandwich is very tasty complimented by a tahini sauce with the perfect consistency, fresh vegetables, and mint that you can have put on the sandwich for a couple of cents extra. Spicy meat and Lahameh bil Agine are also great lunch/dinner opitions, for breakfast try the Za'atar Manakish or the Cheese Manakish or better yet get a half-and-half. Oh yeah... they also serve up a mean pizza free of grease and always fresh. The main outlet on Guy-Concordia is open late so definitely swing by here if you are looking to get something to eat after a late night partying or studying. You will not get better value for your dollar anywhere else in the city. If you are closer to McGill you can always swing by the Al-Taib express in the basement of Gert's open on weekdays from 10am-6pm. read more

Such a convenient place near Concordia with great food options, quick service and food that actually tastes good. I've never been disappointed whether it's their pizzas or traditional middle eastern food! read more

This little hole in the wall serves up good, fast junk food! Lots of varieties of pizza, manakish (kind of Levant dough with thyme and diverse toppings), gyros, poutine... Very inexpensive, full of Concordia students who know a good thing when they see it! Enjoy with moderation! Namaste read more

Went here on a really cold night and I was starving so decided to step in. It was about midnight and most of the pizzas looked good and fresh so I decided to get 2 slices, 1 chicken and one pepperoni. Both came out to $6.00 which is a little high but not the worst for the location. I found the chicken pizza slice was the better of the two but they both tasted really good and I would come back for it when I'm near the place read more

Have heard nothing but good things about this place from my inlaws and finally was in the area to stop by and try their food. I thought it was decent, but nothing great. Being so close to the university, I can see how most students like it. Also, the guy that owns it needs to work on his customer service. He seemed like a jerk. read more

I have been meaning to do this review for like 1 1/2 years now. I went here several times over the course of 2-3 days when I visited Montreal and enjoyed it every time. I mostly ate the pizza which I thought was really good, not greasy or anything. The owner was really nice and friendly and gave me a free piece of bread. I will visit again whenever I go back to Montreal. read more

Zatarr is the best here. Amazing how this place is open 24 hours. A perfect meal or snack at any time!

Delicious food, great service, good prices! I was very hungry and the large serving I received with my #2 combo did not leave me disappointed! read more

I am a huge fan of Al-Taïb!!!!!!!! When i'm in Concordia territory i definitely stop by for a Zatar, an orange brio, and a falafel ball on the side. I can eat here inside of $10 and be totally set. Know what you want before you get to the counter... but the best bets so far are spinach pizza, chicken pizza, and of course the Zatar. This place is totally a student staple and i've definitely brought everyone i know to eat here, it's kind of a right of passage for the downtown crowd. The dining room's all right, but I used grab my meal to go and catch some rays in the Normand Bethune park but I guess that's now history.. in any case, there's always a couple of tables outside if you're willing to brave the bird shit. The tabouleh is great as well, very lemony. I refuse to go to their other locations because this one does it the best. read more

I love this place, their pizza was my childhood. Their pieces are so big and delicious honestly. I never had a problem with them. They made the orders fast and even delivered them. read more

would you believe that my pre-made salad from Wrap City cost me 9-something? They had the nerve to call it a Greek salad. No salad that has a couple of black olives and bits of shredded feta can be called a Greek salad... A total of 4 cherry tomatoes in it and then some strips of chicken on top to hide ALL THE LETTUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love lettuce but this is pas mal exagéré non? I got ripped off and hate that!! So : ) I'm sharing! read more

Good food. Authentically funny people behind the counter. Cheap.

Al Taib gets a solid 4-star rating for its manakish. Most are pre-made and waiting in the refrigerator. I had the cheese/zaatar and lahm bi' ajeen versions. While the cheese/zaatar was certainly enjoyable, a more pronounced cheese/zaatar presence, along with a more generous application of olive oil would have made it truly excellent. The crust is thin, crispy edges and tender center, and folds very nicely. The lahm bi'ajeen is very good, not overly full of toppings, but not sparse. I believe the oven is key to the bread's overall quality, as it is a high temperature stone oven. Quite inexpensive, $4.50 for both. A varied assortment of manakishes are offered, some traditional, some a little less so (kafta and shawarma toppings) read more

Quick delicious cheap eats! All the pies were pre made, but you could tell they were made that same day, very fresh and the dough was well flavored with the right amount of chewiness. I would go back if I was in Montreal. read more

Their pizzas are better than Dominos/Pizza hut if you get them to make them fresh for you. The mexican one is pretty good. They sell by the slice, too. The minced meat pita wraps are good. Try the Za'atar ones with mint but skip the pickles and onions. Their salad and rice bar aren't that good. Seating is average. Open 24/7 which is a plus if you are in downtown. Parking is challenging. I'd say it's your best bet for good food late at night to satisfy those munchies. read more
