Where to Grab a Döner in Lebanon That Actually Hits the Spot

If you’re here, chances are you either love döner and are on the hunt for the best spot to enjoy it in Lebanon, or you’ve never tried this delicious sandwich and want your first bite to be the right one.

Since opening, Hayat Döner won people over with their mouthwatering signature item: the Döner. Available in beef, chicken, or both, this hearty meal is made with marinated shawarma meat seasoned with a secret blend of herbs and spices.

Each one is piled with your choice of onions, pickled cabbage, tomatoes, and crisp iceberg lettuce, all drizzled with their signature herb sauce and a spicy kick, served on traditional döner bread.

There’s still room for shawarma purists who prefer classic pita at this spot, but a döner is so much more fun, filling, and delicious.

Where can I find Hayat Döner?

To make sure no one misses out on their delicious Turkish bites, they’ve opened 13 branches across Lebanon (and counting!). That includes Mazraa, Mcharafiyeh, Saida, Sour, Nabatiyeh, Chtoura, Khalde, Tripoli, Zalka, Batroun, Bliss, Miniyeh, and Jbeil.

With locations in major cities and towns, it’s easy to grab a döner no matter where you are.

What else is on the menu?

Beyond their signature döner, you can also enjoy other Turkish specialties. Their Turkish-style burgers are packed with flavorful meat, grilled onions, tomatoes, and herb sauce. Another standout is the loaded kumpir, a baked potato stuffed with fresh veggies, cheese, and sauces.

For dessert, their knefeh is a must-try. Melted cheese soaked in sweet syrup with a crispy top layer, it’s perfect for anyone who loves authentic Turkish desserts. It’s the perfect way to wrap up a delicious meal at Hayat Döner on a sweet note.
