Ya Ghezayel: A New Gem In Mar Mikhael

Looking for a new experience in Beirut? Well, you’re in for a treat! Taking the famous Najah Salam lyric to a whole new level, the new restaurant called Ya Ghezayel is bringing a lively feel to the bustling street of Mar Mikhael.

If the song “Mayyel Ya Ghezayel” were an actual place, this would be it. A colorful and cozy space that is pumping with Lebanese heritage, the restaurant is as beautiful as it is authentic. Ya Ghezayel offers a dose of nostalgia, tributing our memories of journeying to the mountains for an authentic Lebanese lunch.

Filled with plants, the spot will appeal to city dwellers craving greenery in Beirut. Though an escape from the city is long overdue, a visit to Ya Ghezayel will do the trick.

And did you know that there’s a cave in the restaurant? An unexpected sight, but quite an interesting addition to complete the vibe.
