i’m a huge fan of lebanese food, especially chicken-related. so, being acquainted with names like ‘boubouffe’ or ‘mano’ (in beirut), it’s always hard to find a match. but a match i found.
‘lebanese corner’’s shish taouk ((semi-silent K, folks)) is amazing, considering it’s ‘just’ chicken on a skewer, right?
then, the hummus, with a great balance of the simple ingredients it needs;
their fattoush. again, a ‘mere’ salad, but that pomegranate flavour and the fried bread bits on top... manoman...
the falafel are very deceiving, but fear not: they look burned and too crunchy to sink your teeth into, and yet, soft as the paste you’ll find inside.
on the bread: yes, please, and also, enough, guys, you’re killing me. it’s just that hard ro resist.
the chicken shawarma sandwich has that hidden pickle to tantalise your palate, and when you order it as a separate dish: there’s something there in the spice mix... i want to say cinnamon, for there’s some sweetness to it, but i have no idea.
i wish i could have an opinion on other items, but i’m a boring customer who sticks to what he loves.
however, and funnily enough, what makes me want to really support ‘lebanese corner’ is the owner. mohamad is just the nicest guy, goes out of his way to please his patrons... i shouldn’t say this, but he sometimes throws in a complimentary thing or two. i have to find an alias, so he doesn’t think i go there for the freebies. :))
but he is a really sweet guy, so get to know him.
as the rest of the team, i’m sure. but he’s my usual interface.
now stop reading this and go there or order now!
