Em Hussein’s Hearty Lebanese Breakfast: A Must-Try in Burj El Brajneh
No matter how many new restaurants open around Lebanon, nothing can quite beat a traditional Lebanese breakfast. In the bustling neighborhood of Burj El Brajneh is a taste of home serving hearty Lebanese dishes we all love.
Lukmet Em Hussein promises terwi2a lebneniye 3al 2sool, preparing every dish with the same care she’d put into a meal for her own family.
What to expect
The first thing you’ll notice is the smell of freshly made falafel, and from there, it’s hard fight the hunger. Em Hussein has all the breakfast staples we know and love, including hummus b tahini, foul w hummus, msabbaha, and fatteh.
How can you even crave a croissant for breakfast when you can have a traditional spread like that? Every Lebanese person’s love language is passing plates around the table, and there’s no better excuse to gather your favorite people, catch up over breakfast, and enjoy a little terwi2a in good company.
What makes the experience even better is the care that goes into the food. Everything feels (and is) freshly prepared, from the daily-sourced meat to the beautifully arranged plates. The flavors are simple, familiar, and comforting, bringing back the kind of homemade breakfasts you grow up looking forward to. No gimmicks or new dining concepts needed to convince you that it’s good.
Lukmet Em Hussein is one of many local eats that remind us you don’t need a fancy restaurant or an elaborate menu to enjoy a really good meal. All you need is a small local spot serving the Lebanese food we grew up eating. Mercury is in retrograde right now, so we’re like 99% sure it would solve all our problems.
