Beirut Grill and Deli

The Write-Up

The full story

A family-owned halal Lebanese kitchen on Alafaya Trail where everything tastes homemade and the room feels like family. Guests rave over the beef shawarma and the creamy hummus, which one regular calls the best in Central Florida. The chicken shawarma sandwich, falafel and fried kibbeh arrive generous and fresh, and regulars tell newcomers to save room for kenefeh.
