You know you’re in for a pretty generous treat when the greetings and “bon appetit” are doubled and tripled whenever you come in. Ahlen w sahten! It’s always been the warmest of welcomes and widest of smiles that have differentiated the lively Lebanese hospitality from all else. If you’re eating Lebanese, you’re eating at home; and so when you’re aching for this chaotically friendly warmth, we’ll be here to give it to you wrapped with extra toum. Allo Beirut proudly revives the nostalgic feel of Beirut’s Golden Age of cultural vibrancy and culinary cosmopolitanism through mouth-watering street food that takes you back to late night cravings on Bliss Street and early-morning road trips to Bekaa or Byblos. The shawarma, the sandwiches, the grills, the mana’ish! No one has faithfully hit this homely vibe away from Lebanon like Allo Beirut has. Yes, some branches open 24/7; yes, that after-party fatteh is yours; and yes, a mini dabkeh might burst out of the blue at 3AM. So call on Fayrouz and play some Sabah, it’s about to get emotional and tasty in here.
1940’s to 1960’s Beirut. The golden age; a period in Beirut’s history that evokes nostalgia and memories of better days. If its streets could speak, they would tell tales of a city that flourished in a time of prosperity; Of a glamorous cosmopolitan capital that was commonly referred to as the Paris of the Middle East, and its reputation as an alluring playground for oil tycoons, spies, and movie stars, the likes of Brigitte Bardot, Peter O’Toole, and Elizabeth Taylor.
We are more than just streetfood or a diner. We are a community that longs for the Golden Age of Beirut, the Paris of the Middle East, in all its glory, colors, and flavors. We are Allo Beirut... a moment of happiness that defines the Lebanese joie de vivre (enjoyment of life).
