Zaitouna Express

You'll find Zaitouna Express tucked on North Street, where it's become the sort of place locals queue for at lunchtime without making a fuss about it. This is Lebanese food stripped back to what matters — fresh ingredients, honest cooking, quick service. The vibe is deliberately unpretentious; you're not paying for minimalist plating or mood lighting. Instead you get generous portions of shawarma, fattoush salads that actually taste alive, and proper mezze that'll have you wondering why you ever bothered with the chain places round the corner. It's the kind of spot where regulars have their order down to a nod.
