10 Shawarmas To Have In Lebanon That Are Better Than Sex

Sure sex is great, but have you ever bitten into a shawarma that has the perfect ratio of bread to toum to meat/chicken to veg? Here are ten spots serving up delectable shawarma in Lebanon.


1. Rock Restaurant, Jbeil


Tender, juicy, and always hits the spot.


2. Spiced and Spliced, Hamra


Whether you like it in a wrap or in a bowl, these shawarma pros will deliver quality each time.


3. Makhlouf, Jounieh/Dawra


The only thing better than Makhlouf’s unbeatable shawarma is getting a box of their crunchy and delectable fries on the side.


4. Joseph, Sin El Fil


They didn’t give them all those awards for nothing. A classic, for good reason.


5. Jabbour, Dawra


Their chicken shawarma skewer runs out pretty quickly, so be sure to beat the lunch rush hour. This restaurant is famous for the juiciest chicken shawarma, so be sure not to drip any on yourself because it will stain.


6. Al Ghazzawi, Aicha Bakkar



This spot has a loyal following and for good reason. Their toum is famous, as well as their perfectly charred shawarma.


7. Mano, Bourj Hammoud


Sizzling Soujouk Shawarma on warm pita bread is what we call an orgasm (almost). Mano has not left the spotlight since 1966, and for good reason.


8.Diwan Beirut, Achrafieh/Antelias


Everything from their delicious plat du jour to their amazing shawarma wraps will impress. Be sure to try their creamy hummus, it is heavenly.


9. El Estez Snack, many locations


The snack station that specializes in shawarma! Check out our video of their incredible toum tarboosh.




10. BouBouffe, Achrafieh


An oldie but goodie! This spot serves meat and chicken shawarma wraps with fresh and delicious ingredients.
