or those craving authentic Lebanese flavors, Asalet Beirut in Jeddah offers a wide array of traditional pizzas, manaqeesh and pastries, all baked fresh to order.
The restaurant is known for its simple yet charming setup, catering to locals and visitors. The interior is styled on a homely Lebanese bakery, creating a cozy atmosphere.
One of the highlights of the menu is meat manaqeesh, a dish that has earned high praise for its rich flavor and perfectly baked crust. The meat is seasoned to perfection, blending Lebanese spices with a tender texture that melts in your mouth.
The menu is extensive, offering everything from zaatar and cheese manaqeesh to classic pizzas. While the variety is impressive, some items, such as the labnah manaqeesh, tend to get soggy if not eaten immediately. This makes eating in the car the best way to enjoy the food at its freshest and most flavorful.
The pricing is good with options catering to different budgets, making it a go-to place for quick bites or family meals.
While the food stands out in terms of flavor and variety, the main drawback is the occasional inconsistency in texture if some items sit for too long. However, the vibrant flavors and authentic preparation more than make up for it, especially for those who enjoy freshly baked goods.
Whether you are a fan of Lebanese cuisine or looking to try something new, Asalet Beirut is a great choice for flavorful, budget-friendly meals.
