FRIED
DARK.

Most falafel in this city comes out of the oil deep brown, heavy, apologetic.

OURS COMES OUT
BLONDE.

Home of Beirut's famous blonde falafel — golden outside, impossibly light inside.

VS
the blonde falafel

Dark falafel everywhere else. Blonde here.

Most falafel in this city is fried dark. Aboulziz built its name on the opposite: the 'blonde' falafel — pulled from the oil at gold, not brown — crisp, pale and light enough to argue about. Three branches later (Hamra, Sodeco, Dawra), the blonde one is still the reason people cross town, and still costs less than a taxi there.

★ 4.3 on Google, 76 reviews — “clean quality food, super cheap,” as one regular put it. The blonde one earns its keep.

I had heard that after only three years in business they had become famous for their unique blonde falafel balls, so I decided to pay them a visit.
