Pick your cut at the case, they grill it while you wait — Hamra's sidewalk butcher-grill.
Hamandi is a butcher shop that grills. You point at the case — tawouk, kafta, lamb cubes, the day's skewers — and it goes straight from the marble to the charcoal to your sidewalk table. Tiny, humble and honest, with meat reviewers call the best-tasting kebab in Beirut. Most of Hamra orders it delivered; the smart ones eat it ten steps from the fire.
The butcher case is the menu: skewers built fresh through the day.
Kafta, tawouk and lamb over real charcoal, seared hard.
Hummus, tabbouleh, grilled bread and the platter that covers the table.
We ordered tabbouleh and mashawi mshakkal — everything was absolutely delicious and of great quality. It's a very humble, tiny place, perfect if you're looking for authentic flavors.
The meat is tasty and clean. Best lebanese snack I've had so far. Prices are fair for the quality.
It's a sidewalk dining experience which is worth it for the food. Had the 3 skewers bbq mix platter — tawook amazing.
