The store carries the dishes that take the longest to make at home. Pastries by the bag — sambousek with meat or cheese, rekakat, spinach fatayer, kibbeh balls. Trays for four — kibbeh bil saniyeh, batata soufflé, lasagna, sfeeha. Stuffed and rolled by hand — shish barak, warak enab with or without meat, kousa mahshi. Cooked mains by the portion — molokhia and moghrabieh with chicken, fasolia with beef, bamieh with lamb. Plus kafta patties and hummus.
Order at least two days ahead. Everything is cooked in our kitchen in Keserwan, packed the same afternoon, and delivered to your door in Beirut, Metn or Keserwan in the morning window. Each item tells you how to cook it and how long it keeps — most of the pastries go straight from the freezer into hot oil or the oven, and the trays only need reheating.
If you are abroad and want your parents in Beirut to eat properly this week, you can order to their address instead of yours — put their details in at checkout and the delivery goes to them. For something ongoing rather than a one-off box, a gifted meal plan feeds them every day.
