The weather is so damn hot these days that I am trying to avoid the city and am going uphill towards Ajaltoun and Faraya.
Last day, we were in Klayaat and I thought I try Adib’s Shawarma, which is supposed to be really good. The place offers two sizes, the regular one and the Malik-el-Taouk-like one which is huge. (See below picture)
I honestly didn’t like both meat and chicken Shawarmas at all and the place looked really dirty. On top of that, it’s very expensive as each regular Shawarma costs 6000 LL.
We really need some decent Shawarma places in Lebanon because the only one with a good Shawarma that I know of is Boubouffe.
I used to like el Karkour in Jounieh but it closed few years back.
Have you tried Ya Hala in baabdat? or shawarma joseph in sin l fil? they’re both good and well known. Haven’t had one in a while though so im not that updated in that matter.
Or you could have taken a left right after Adib and had the best (and probably largest) submarine you could ever have at Chez Simon.
Personally, when it comes to shawarma, I either have Mano’s shawarma (Bourj Hamoud) or Abou Joseph (Sin El Fil). Chicken shawarma that is.
to me the best shawarma is in sour
I know this place, I think it’s is amazing. Luckily I had a really good friend who lived in Ajaltoun and introduced me to it. I’ve only tried their chicken, which I thought was awesome.
I lived in Kleyaat from 88 to 91 before coming to the US and Adib used to be my second favorite place to eat, after Le Relais.
Aahhh the good old days!!
88 to 91? you fought or lived?
I was only 13 at the time. so I lived while everybody around me fought! The house we lived in was leveled during the Syrian war, and once again during the army vs. forces war! So we became experts at packing up our shit and moving around!
Luckily, we stayed up in that area and avoided Beirut at all costs. Although I did attend and graduate high school at CTI in Horsh Tabet. I had to commute daily in my beat up Renault 12 with only a few minor incidents over the years.
Despite all that, I survived this generally positive experience and I’ve gone back to visit a few times on a couple of recent occasions.
