Foul About Shady is a must try place when you're in Beirut. The food is absolutely authentic & delicious, freshly made and affordable. The Beid Liye (Eggs with crispy Crackling Lamb Fat) I hadn't seen anywhere else and it's out of this world. The Labni with Almonds, meat and onions delicious, Foul delicious, Fatteh Delicious, maaneh & Soujoukh delicious, hummus Ghawerma delicious everything was delicious. Look at the pictures.
Foul Abou Shady is a place where you will really really enjoy your breakfast in, not just the wonderful taste of breakfast that Abou Shady serves, but the overall experience at Abou Shady is one of a kind! Must Try: Labneh with Meat, can't find it anywhere except at Abou Shady's!
