10 Questionable Things The Middle East Has Done To Sushi
Are you guys bored of plain ol’ sushi? Can someone please explain why these guys would commit such crimes against Japanese cuisine?
1. Fruit Sushi at Ginger & Co. [Lebanon]

Do you want to add some fruit to your diet? Well, Ginger & Co. has got you covered! Salmon, Avocado, Mango, Kiwi, and HONEY, because it wasn’t sweet enough before.
Price: 13,250 LBP
2. Sushi Shawarma at Maestro Shawarma [Lebanon]
The trend started in Montreal, and shawarma sushi seems to have spread to Lebanon! You can choose either chicken or meat. Guys, just eat a shawarma in a sandwich like everybody else – with extra toum.
Price: 10,000 LBP
3. Ginger Sushi at O&C [Lebanon]

O&C, we love you, but ginger goes on the SIDE. It is meant to cleanse your palate between eating different pieces of sushi, otherwise, it’s served before or after your meal – never in a wrap, ever. If you wanna go wild, O&C even has a sushi wrap with octopus, mango, avocado, and tartar sauce. Yum???
Price: 10,000 LBP / 18,000 LBP
4. Sushi Burger at Sushi Counter [UAE]

This sushi burger looks like the sushi cakes we often see at seafood buffets in Lebanon, however, sprinkled with what looks like bread crumbs. This could be quite good.
Price: 18.90 AED
5. Zaatar & Labne Sushi at Moshi [UAE]

If you’re craving labne so much, go make yourself a 3arous Labne ma3 rashet zaatar! It’s cheaper – and most definitely tastier.
Price: 25 AED
6. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Sushi at Moshi [UAE]

Interesting combo though. We like Cheetos.
Price: 32 AED
7. Falafel Nigiri at Moshi [UAE]

So this is basically like having falafel and tarator with rice instead of bread, right?
Price: 19 AED
8. Cheesy Chips Oman Maki at Moshi [UAE]

Chips sounds good, it’s like you’re adding crispy to it I guess but with a saltier flavour. This might work.
Price: 24 AED
9. Osmalliyeh Sushi at Osaka [Lebanon]

On the menu, these sushi rolls are described as “Shredded Phyllo Rolls”. Some have foie gras in them. Would you try them? We would much rather have the traditional Osmalliyeh with sugary syrup at a Lebanese sweets shop.
Price: 12,000-18,000 LBP
10. Chocolate Sushi at SteakBarSushi [Lebanon]

It’s been done, and you can check out all the chocolate sushi combos here.
Price: We’re not gonna tell you, because we simply won’t allow it.
