The King of Foul — hand-mashed hummus and foul by Abu Hadi's crew since 1965, steps from AUB.
★ 4.6 on Google · 64 reviews · Hamra · near AUBThree generations of AUB students have eaten at Malek al Foul, and the menu still fits on one card: foul, hummus in every direction, balila, fatteh, eggs. Bassam Badran — Abu Hadi — runs the small Hamra counter the way it's run since 1965: huge ladles, quick service, most of it carried out the door in paper bags.
Slow-simmered fava beans under good olive oil — the reason for the crown.
The heavier morning: warm yogurt, crisp bread, eggs with awarma.
Warm chickpeas with cumin and garlic, mashed by hand like always.
Authentic lebanese Foul place in Hamra! Students and workers come to this place to have one of the best foul.
