The season of Maamoul has arrived, but don’t you fret since we’ve compiled a list of our favourite places to get Maamoul in Lebanon (that’s not made by your mom, because, of course, your mom’s Maamoul is undoubtedly awesome)!
A hidden gem in Achrafieh, Hanna Mitri makes mouthwatering maamoul using a very traditional recipe and high quality ingredients. Of course, you can’t not have a scoop or two of their iconic ice cream.
These are a favorite! Located in Wadi Shahrour, these small but mighty bites of heaven will keep you coming back for more. Our favorite is the bitter orange flavor.
Located in Tripoli, Abdul Rahman Hallab & Sons is known for the best oriental sweets in Lebanon! Not to worry though, you don’t need to go all the way to Tripoli to get your dose of traditional maamoul since they have a few branches in Beirut!
That whiff of traditional orange blossom and rose essences as soon as you open the box is enough to make your mouth water. The fillings are rich, dense, and of high quality; all that you expect from a tasty maamoul – HIGHLY recommended!
We included one “diet” Maamoul option for those of you who are watching your cholesterol and blood sugar levels or those who are simply watching their waist line! The Maamoul at Le Gabarit can be a great alternative to satisfy your Maamoul cravings.

Last but not least, the best maamoul can be found at home! Didn’t see that one coming did you? We didn’t want you guys to feel left out from this list. I’m sure each and every one of your moms and tetas make the best maamoul in the world in your eyes!
