From 1881 to Today: Al Hallab's Enduring Legacy Captivates Dubai with Timeless Lebanese Flavors
By Editor_wr Last updated Apr 23, 2025
In a city that thrives on innovation and culinary trends, Al Hallab stands as a rare gem—offering not just food, but an authentic slice of Lebanese history. With roots tracing back to 1881 in Tripoli, Lebanon, Al Hallab's commitment to tradition has made it one of Dubai's longest-standing Lebanese restaurants—offering time-honoured recipes passed down through 140 years of generations and carefully preserved across its evolving menu.
Known for its unwavering authenticity, Al Hallab serves a menu of classic Lebanese favourites. Each dish is a direct descendant of recipes passed down through generations of the Al Hallab family.
Signature dishes like Lahme Baajine Traboulsi and the legendary cheese kunafa were first served at the original sweet shop in Tripoli—long before the brand expanded into the full-service dining experience it offers today. Currently, Al Hallab serves a wide range of dishes true to Lebanese heritage, with favourites like their mixed grills remaining unchanged since they first opened in the UAE more than 20 years ago.
'These dishes are more than just food—they're memories of home, family gatherings, and traditions we're proud to keep alive every day,' says Chef and Owner Rami Al Hallab. He added: 'It's a sentiment that resonates with locals and visitors alike, who come to Al Hallab not just for a meal, but for an authentic Lebanese culinary experience that's remained untouched by time'.
For over two decades, Al Hallab has been a must-try destination for lovers of authentic Lebanese food in Dubai, staying true to the flavours of Tripoli and offering an experience that can't be found elsewhere. But what sets it apart isn't just its long history—it's the passion for staying true to the dishes of Tripoli, served exactly the same way today as they were 140 years ago.
Dine-in Locations: Garhoud, Mall of the Emirates, The Dubai Mall
Order for Delivery: Available via Deliveroo or Al Hallab's own ordering platform.

Bollywood diva Kriti Sanon vibes to Salman Khan's 90s hit iconic songs
Actress Kriti Sanon is a '90s baby' for life as she was seen grooving to some of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's iconic tracks such as 'Janam Samjha Karo' and 'Pyar Dilon Ka Mela Hai.' Kriti took to Instagram, where she shared a video of herself getting all dolled up in her vanity van. While getting her make-up done the actress was seen mouthing the lines of the 1999 banger track 'Janam samjha karo' picturised on Salman and Urmila Matondkar. Kriti was heard saying: 'I love this song' as the 1999 song played in the backdrop. She added: 'What music yaar!' The song then changes to 'Pyar Dilon Ka Mela Hai' from the 2000 film 'Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge' starring Salman and Karisma Kapoor. Kriti says 'All songs are amazing' as she discussed the film with her make-up artist. For the caption, the actress wrote: '90's Baby for Life!! Part 1.' On the work front, the actress is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film 'Tere Ishk Mein' with Dhanush. 'Tere Ishk Mein' is said to be a spiritual successor to the world of 'Raanjhanaa,' as it delves deeper into themes of unrequited love, longing, and emotional conflict. It was in January, when Kriti was confirmed to star opposite Tamil star Dhanush in 'Tere Ishk Mein.' The film reunites the 'Raanjhanaa' team as Aanand L Rai, Dhanush, and the Oscar-winning music composer, A.R. Rahman, are joining forces after their last venture, 'Atrangi Re.' Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow present 'Tere Ishk Mein,' produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar. The film, directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma, is an A.R. Rahman musical with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. The film is scheduled to release worldwide in Hindi and Tamil on November 28, 2025. Talking about Kriti, she was last seen in the film 'Do Patti,' a drama thriller directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi. It also stars Kajol and Shaheer Sheikh. The film tells the tale of twin sisters. Their carefully constructed lives are shattered when a police inspector uncovers a web of deceit that threatens them. Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan and Kriti came together for a fun social media post recently. The two actors shared a video on Instagram, where Varun was seen holding a glass of chocolate shake in his hand, while Kriti was having something much less appetizing - a matcha drink. As Varun offered Kriti a sip from his chocolate shake, the dive ended up finishing almost half of his drink in one go. This left Varun extremely sad. The text on the video said, 'What she means when she says one sip.' 'Matcha is Chocolate is everything! Who can relate to that?', the caption read. As soon as the clip surfaced on social media it went viral. The netizens also flooded the comment section with some interesting remarks. Varun and Kriti are expected to be next seen sharing screen space in 'Bhediya 2'. The project will mark their third professional association after 'Bhediya' and 'Diwale.' Indo-Asian News Service
