Zaroob

With its live cooking stations, open kitchens, fruit-filled baskets, colourful lanterns and graffiti-covered steel shutters, Zaroob radiates the urban integrity of a Beirut street-food alley. Feast on such delicious no-fuss food as falafel, shawarma (spit-roasted meat in pita bread), flat or wrapped manoushe (Levant-style pizza) or alayet (tomato stew), all typical of the Levant. Nice terrace too.
