Em Sherif Deli Beirut

After I heard a lot about this place, we went there with some friends. The place's decorations give the right vibes. The staff were friendly. The service was not that fast. They gave us the sandwiches and after around 7 minutes or more they gave us the salad we had ordered. The sandwiches were too small. I can eat 6 sandwiches easily. Their taste was good but not worth their price. The salad portion was good, and it was good tasting. It was a one-time experience and thats it.

Did we LOVE the food? No. Would we return? Absolutely. One thing is for sure, the food quality is top notch. The portion of the sandwiches could be bigger especially for the price you’re paying. We ordered a rose lemonade which was very refreshing, a tawook sandwich, kebbenye on sourdough sandwich and soujuk hot dogs. The soujuk hot dogs were very underwhelming. The sandwiches were yummy but felt like kebbenye needed a little more something, maybe a bit of salt? Good luck trying to get a table as it can get very crowded. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and will be back to try other items on their menu!

Em Sherif Deli definitely lives up to the hype. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but the food quality is top-notch. Highly recommend the beef shawarma saj, kebbe nayyeh sandwich, turkey sandwich, asbe sandwich, soft serve, and a glass of Chateau Oumsiyat white wine. The atmosphere is lively and hectic — almost like a New York deli vibe. I’d recommend trying it at least once. For us, it’s become a go-to spot we keep coming back to and have loved every time!

If you’re looking for an authentic Lebanese sandwich experience, this spot is unbeatable. Their special Lebanese bread, combined with fresh, flavorful ingredients, makes for a truly delicious meal. The appetizers, like hummus and salads, are just as good—rich, well-balanced, and packed with taste. Some may criticize the seating or even the sandwiches, but when asked where to find a better one, no one has an answer. That speaks for itself. If you’re after the best Lebanese quick bite, this place is as good as it gets—arguably the best in town, if not the world!

The food is delicious and seating is cute. Hendbeh, labneh and makdous, kebbe nayye sandwiches are the best. All the prices are reasonable for the quality and taste however the lahme meshwiyye (beef skewers) sandwich is very overpriced for what you get. It’s tasty but nothing special or contains additional ingredients for such a markup.
