Baalbek
Baalbek in Melville serves traditional Lebanese cuisine and brews their own coffee. Here you can find a variety of flavorsome Lebanese dishes using only the best ingredients. They pride themselves in being the only restaurant that has an original Lebanese Saj oven, which offers a variety Manakish dishes. Their imported hubbly bubblies are also a go to for an all round Lebanese experience. Oh, and they have belly dancers on Saturday evenings!
Yalla
Yalla serves the type of takeaways we'd love to see more of. Their menu's main feature is their laffas (flour wraps with shawarma meat, salad and sauce), and you can also order delicious Mediterranean sides like dolmades, laffa bites, olives and salads. They have two locations - one in Fairland Walk and one in Morning View Center in Morningside and are also on Uber Eats. Instead of a boring old burger and chips, why not get a laffa and salad next time you order in?
