Beirut kitchen · mezze · charcoal grill

Lebanese home cooking made for sharing — generous mezze, smoky grilled plates and everything in between.

The room

Warm brick, olive trees and a long table built for lingering.

We wanted damnak to feel like a Beirut courtyard — greenery climbing the walls, the smell of charcoal, and room to settle in. Come for a quick mezze at the bar or pull up a chair and stay all evening.

The spread

Made for the middle of the table

Order a few things, order a lot of things — mezze are built to be passed around. Start with hummus and warm bread, add something from the grill, and let it become a feast.
