A bright, yellow-hued slice of Beirut in Kensington where the aroma of baking sesame bread and za'atar pulls you in for authentic, affordable street food.
Ordering Strategy
Focus on the baked goods—mix and match a Manakish (flatbread) and a Ka’ak (purse-shaped sesame bread). It is primarily a counter-service spot with limited seating (about 20 spots), so be prepared to take away if it's busy.
What to order
Lahmeh Bi Ajin
Described as a 'must buy' that 'blows away the competition,' this minced beef and lamb flatbread features a perfect 'doughy crust' and rich, home-cooked flavors.
Kafta Wrap
Recommended for those who want to leave 'stuffed,' these 'juicy meat wraps' are minimally garnished to let the quality of the protein provide a satisfying, hearty experience.
Kunafa Ka’ak
A decadent sweet-savoury mashup featuring stretchy cheese, rosewater sugar syrup, and crushed pistachios inside sesame bread.
Pistachio Mammul
A 'perfect sweet treat to top things off,' this traditional pastry provides a nutty, sweet finish to a meal of savory flatbreads.
