Restaurants in Lebanon are becoming increasingly expensive and it is honestly becoming ridiculous. Everytime the restaurant has a new menu or revamps his location, we have an extra 10% here and there.
The problem is not just in prices though, but in the quantity you get for that price. But obviously prices and quantities are reversely proportional in Lebanon, as size shrinks while price increases.
We ordered food from Zaatar wou Zeit last week, and i could not help but notice how expensice it has become.
4000 LL for Lahme Beajine man2ouche, oh and it is labeled as “thick” though it is ridiculously thin.
6500 LL for a Jebneh wou Jambon man2ouche, also labeled “thick” bass min wen la wen?
Last but not least, a Pepsi can costs 1500 LL at ZWZ even when delivering it. Shouldn’t soft drinks be cheaper when delivered?
How much more expensive are all those items? Well Zaatar wou Zeit mistakenly still have an old menu uploaded online, and it is 1 or 2 years old only.
As you can see below, Lahme Beajine was priced at 1750 LL compared to 4000 LL now, that’s more than 100% increase. Same for Jebneh wou Jambon that was priced at 3000 LL only.
But still the funniest increase in price is the soft drink! As if ZWZ manufactures Pepsi or maybe Pepsi increased its price and we are not aware of that.
Nonetheless, this increase in prices is everywhere, but is most noticeable when you pay 3$ for a freaking’ man2ouche that costs anywhere else barely 1$.
Apparently Martha Stewart is cooking for them!!! http://bit.ly/8YQcTg
Lol @ Joe!
Well i think the prices even increased more since March because you know they revamped their locations. Chou hal Maskhara…
Problem is its the only decent place to go to after a party or in the morning. Maybe someone should open a new breakfast place and open up everywhere with reasonable prices.
At least they’re smart to overcharge all the price insensitive loud drunkards coming to fill their stomach post-party + you’re paying a premium for the ambiance, which you won’t have at Abou Tony snack.
Yeah but what ambiance am i getting when i order a man2ouche and a soft drink to work?
good one Najib
All I can say is Sahteyn.
Well Najib Knefeh from Doueihi is the best in the morning and less expensive than a mankouche from ZWZ and doweihi has great Ambiance in the morning cc:Bored
Joe,
Don’t get me started on Doueihy and “Misk”. Last time i went there at night, there were people opening a vodka bottle (ma3 red bull akeed).
Best Knefeh is Baba & Abeille D’or.
lol that’s why i mentioned you have to visit in the morning ;0) but misk knefeh in my opinion is good!if your not a fan of knnefeh you can try pain au chocolat from Paul or Bread republic, Noura or pâte à choux best in lebanon!!
lol @ change 100,000 getting the 7-up price!
Try Knefe from BABA on the Jal el Dib Highway. Its really good an different from the beiruti knefeh.
which pain au chocolat 3and paul? I’ve tried almost everything chez Paul. Applie pie is good at bread republic.
Noura wou Pate a Choux soret 3am todroub t2eel.
shou ya najib 3a ases ur on a diet! you promised us to lose 20 to 25 pounds within 2 months the clock is ticking and ur still eating :p
L.M
“We ordered food from Zaatar wou Zeit last week”
ok i will try it for sure.
as for the pain au chocolat it is the same price everywhere and it is cheaper than a mankouche chez zwz :O) so dont worry!!
Where can one get a nice healthy breakfast? There is a place next to my house up in Seheili, its an old lady, don’t think the shop has a name, she does the best eggs for breakfast and for just 4,000LL. Thats 3 eggs with a side plate of tomato and amazing black olives. will post about her tonight.
i am not defending zwz bc they are waaay too expensive, BUT that site you took the menu from is at least five-six years old… i tried to use it a few times when i didn’t have the delivery menu i needed, but it’s sooo old, it’s just totally obsolete & useless.
L’abeille d’or = Best Knefe in Lebanon
Najib, then if you ordered to work, you had the choice when ordering. Why did you order knowing the prices, to brag about them later on? There are plenty of other cheaper restaurants you could’ve ordered from.
Bored,
– I did not order but a friend did, i just told him what i wanted.
– Find me a place that delivers lahm baajine and manakish at 6 pm. ( and that is good as well).
Why should I find you a place? Can’t you find one? You have plenty of posts on food.
Bored,
Because you assumed there are such places and i am still ordering from ZWZ. So if you don’t know what you are talking about, don’t argue for the sake of it. Simple.
OK well call Tasty at 01-203322. they have manakish at 1000-2000. And I think you either need to get off the diet, or simply attend an anger management course.
Baaden macchouna bel maktab. You had a meal with drink for $4 per person. Good enough.
Bored,
Tasty does not stay open that late.
You are really bored arent you?
Tasty is open from 7 AM to 4 PM. dang! 30 minutes before your hunger kicks in.
Since you’re on a diet, I don’t think you should eat after 4 PM anyways, if at all. Don’t be cheapos.
