Farrouj Express

Farrouj Express doesn’t look like much at first—just a glowing counter tucked in the basement food court of Place du Parc. But behind the styrofoam containers and neon signs is one of the most consistent Lebanese counters in the city. Run by a warm and welcoming family team, they turn out juicy chicken shawarma, smoky beef doner, and perfectly crisp falafel, all served with seasoned rice, garlic potatoes, fresh salads, and housemade sauces. The menu is sprawling, but everything tastes like it came from the same trusted kitchen. Filet mignon brochettes? Done to a proper medium. Merguez couscous? Generous and well-spiced. Even the vegetarian plate holds its own. Regulars know to head downstairs, grab a tray, and claim a seat in the food court—Farrouj may not be fancy, but it’s the kind of place that quietly earns a following for a reason.
