You know Rawcheh for sure, you know Pigeon’s Rock, Shrimpy’s, Hallab, Bayrock Café and all the other new cafés that opened there in the last two years. But you don’t know Forn al Mahabba! And you should. It’s a very small “forn” or bakery in a street parallel to Rawcheh (Australia Street) where you can find one of the best man’oushes and lahm b’ajins in town, seriously. I can’t define where they come from, if they’re originally Lebanese, or Palestinians, or maybe from Syria? I can’t tell, they offer the food in all variations (lahm b’ajin “Sfiha” from Baalbeck or “Shami” from Damascus). The staff changes very often, but they are aaall very kind and generous, a real blessing, especially early in the morning!
