@
@kiiiiiiiiiiik113 years agoIn lebanon we usually put a garlic sauce with chicken shawarma instead of tahini… the squash is actually zucchini and the pea thing is yakhnet bazella 😊 Sahten (eat well) so happy you like our food 🙏🏻 2
@
@pottersjournal4 years agoOh yes and the bakery too. Great simple part of breakfast the zatare bread with labneh. 2
@
@dirkfunk80534 years agoA bit more on the hole-in-the-wall side but make sure to try Falafel ARAX in North Hollywood next, absolutely killer spot. Love your reactions, this is how I react when I eat good Lebanese food.
@
@suhakaiss79882 years agoI am a Lebanese and so proud to hear that about our culture 1
@
@munasleem65573 years agoThe carrot-pea stew is actually found all over Lebanon 😅 Yakhne is Lebanese for stew and there are soooo many variations. Basically you have the base of tomato sauce/garlic/coriander/meat and then it could be carrot-peas, cauliflower, potatoes, lime beans, kidney beans, or red beans.... etc + the rice next to it. It's not limited to a town, it's in every household at least once a week. (+ there is the vegetarian variation in f each of those as well 😅) ...2
@
@alfredozurita56734 years agoHey trying the best spots in Westwood 👍. Once you finish your middle east LA food tour, I want to recommend you a place right across the street from sunnin.

@
@meekhinglim48293 years agoI have eaten a lot of delicious Syrian cuisines during my two weeks stay in Damascus , I guess there is some similarity among the Lebanon and Syrian food 3
@
@pottersjournal4 years agoLebanese food is the best. It's all so mch work to make too. I'm not eating out this year so it could be a long day in the kichen. Unless Sunnin's Cafe delivers to Pittsburgh. It all looks so rocken.. 5

@
@Joe-eg7ml10 months agoI'm Asian and married a Lebanese girl. I get all this good food all the time, thank God!
@
@charbelyoussef6043 years agoNormally in Lebanon we put garlic for chicken shawarma and tahini is for beef shawarma. Maybe chicken shawarma is good with tahini I should try it.
@
@khaleddidi10213 years agoHey im really glad you tried the lebanese cuisine and enjoy it ! The thing is i would love to cleae some things up ! First of all the chicken shawarma sandwish was made kinda wrong , chicken shwarma sandwish should be only made of chicken , garlic sauce , pickles , and ofc molasses is an option if u like ( which i really recommend ! ) it shouldnt contain lettuce or tomatoes or tahini or this red thing which i forgot what its name is ! You should also try the meat shawarma , and this one consists of the meat , tahini , tomatoes , parsley , onions and pickles ! Also the kebabs were kinda served in the wrong way ! A typical barbecue dish in lebanon consists of chicken kebabs ( tawook ) which should have garlic sauce on the side ! Meat kebabs ( which are 2 kinds : the one u had and the other type is meat skewers ) and these should have hummus on the side , and lastly lamb ribs is a must in lebanes barbecue which are also dipped in hummus ! Rice shouldnt be served with the kebabs as it is not traditional and it really isnt great with them , instead u should get grilled onions , tomatoes , green pepper ( grilled on the charcoal ofc ) and maybe some chilli peppers also and maybe some fries or grilled potatoes ! Also this a typical lebanese salad but with this type of food tabboole is a must with them ! ...1

@joycedoumit26973 years agoHeyy im a lebanese girl here 😍😍 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
@
@rossam844last yearChicken shawarma goes with garlic sauce not with tahini, beef goes with tahini sauce, and the sandwich should've been toasted, the chicken shawarma is better with saj bread than pita bread, baba ghanuj should be topped with pomegranate and hummus with cumin & paprika, they needed more olive oil, hummus goes well with tabbuleh & beef kebab, the shawarma also goes well with pepper paste dip & pomegranate molasses ...
@

@TheIllusions733 years agoShawarma is turkish No ? AND BAKLAWA TOO
@
@tourismclub28672 years agoAm sorry to say the shawarma chicken wrap has nothing to do with authentic Lebanese food !!! It reminded me of Indian restaurants who tries to imitate Lebanese Shawarma . Lebanese never put tahina sauce with chicken shawarma and never put pickled turnip , they put those with meat shawarma! with chicken shawarma the put some lettuce and pickled cucumber and garlic sauce. Also the peas dish the amount of carrots is maybe 4 times the amount of peas while carrot should be about 20% and the rest should be peas, I dont want to talk about how unprofessional the carrot was cut !!! ...
@
@nanahussein73883 years agoI don’t wanna be negative but this isn’t how shawarma is made and none of these are really authentic 😭 i hope u find a better place cz our food is great🥺
