This Ma7eshe Boat Is Exactly What Lebanese Moms Mean When They Say “Fi Sushi Bel Bet”

The “Lebanese sushi” jokes are finally coming to life. Baytna Express in Tripoli just dropped a ma7eshe boat, which arguably beats any sushi boat you’ll find anywhere.

The ma7eshe boat is made entirely out of koussa, wara2 3enab, and beitenjen, made to look like maki rolls. And instead of soy sauce, you get a serving of laban and tomato sauce to dip the ma7eshe into.

We’re sure that if you show this to your Lebanese mom, she’ll tell you that she can make it at home. Maybe it should be on your 2026 bucket list. Either visit Baytna Express to try it, or ask your mom to make it at home.

Make sure to follow Baytna Express on Instagram for more of their creative dishes. But if you’re looking for good sushi spots (REAL sushi, not ma7eshe), then check out the #Sushi section on our website.
