Craving African Food in Beirut? Check Out This Badaro Gem

If you’re in Beirut and you’re craving rich African food, here’s a gem you need to try. Serving up vibrant flavors from West Africa, Pamai Chop is all about hearty dishes and bold spices.

This spot in Badaro specializes in African “tabekh”, making it a must-try for someone craving some home-stye cooking.

Their menu is filled with traditional flavors, including famous West African stews. If you’ve ever seen African food mukbangs featuring fufu, then here’s a dish you need to try: Eba and Egusi.

This hearty dish is made with ground Egusi seeds, finely chopped sour leaves, red palm oil, and creamy peanut butter. It’s served with soft Eba balls (a type of fufu made from cassava flour), perfect for scooping up every flavorful bite.

Their traditional Jollof rice is also a must-try, the undisputed “queen of West African kitchens” according to their menu. With its deep-red color, irresistible aroma, and spicy kick, this one-pot wonder layers fragrant vegetables, bold spices, and your choice of beef, chicken, or fish.

And did you know? The African Grill House fires up all their grilled dishes. Previously delivery-only, you can now stop by Pamai Chop to enjoy their delicious bites dine-in.

This spot brings together the best of African home-style cooking and a tasty twist on classic grilled dishes.
