Let me tell you my story with Hajj Nasr. I remember this guy, standing seriously behind his counter, preparing hundreds of sandwiches every morning without needing any help or support. I had a funny encounter way before phones and social media became famous.

With more lights, a cleaner environment, and a welcoming staff, the Achrafieh new location is a treat for the young generation who’s heard Hajj Nasr’s stories from their parents.

I like the place, the white tiles and how the sandwiches names are displayed on the wall; when one is out of stock, you can read “Ken Fi” or “there was”.

Kafta, chicken, chicken liver and chocolate with cream and bananas to finish the experience.
