A great spot for Middle Eastern street food like falafel wraps and shawarmas. ”Award-winning and Proudly Home-Grown”, as they claim themselves, this chain is worth checking out. Top tip — their breakfast tray is good at any time of the day as it is big and nutritious. 

Another must-mention from the world of kebabs. This place is located on the outer part of the city, but considering their delivery, this is the best go-to, when you crave that perfect Arabic lemony meat and you don’t want to spend a fortune. Family-made, they serve probably the best kebab in the city. This author’s ultimate favourite is the lemony one, but the rest of the Sandy team voted for the chicken and lamb chops. So, go for the mix kebab and you won’t be disappointed. Shirazi salad and moutabal are worth ordering as well. It is mouthwatering to even think about this lemony meat, after you have tasted it one time. 

This is the author's secret spot. Located in Arjan, this is the cutest place with great Lebanese cuisine. Exceptional moutabal, everyone craves every time. Great great great home-made jams and other things you can purchase for your kitchen. Enjoy traditional Lebanese wraps and amazing grilled meats. Lovely staff as a compliment to everything. Their own creation — Lebanese Burger — give it a bite, you won’t regret it. And please take that ayran with you, it is a legit Lebanese ayran worth millions. More than that, they deliver meat goodies to your doorstep, as they’re a butchery as well. So, next time you’ll host a BBQ — you’re all set!
