Al Mayass “in my opinion” is one of the greatest restaurants found by humanity. Apart from its’ good location, the food is delicious and has the coziest atmosphere ever. For those of you who don’t know what Al Mayass is, it is an Armenian restaurant located in Achrafia, Beirut. It opened 11 years ago (1996) by an Armenian/Lebanese, Mr. Chant Alexanderian. He started off by cooking the food in his small restaurant with the help of his son, but soon he gained the attention of many food lovers and found the need to expand. By training several chefs, the restaurant prospered and became one of the busiest places in Beirut.

We always loved eating there, whether it’s lunch or dinner it doesn’t make a difference, it’s scrumptious! During the past semester we started going there every other day, which was an awful lot! I wonder how we didn’t get sick of the food? Some of us even planned to offer their chef a great deal of money to come work for us but unfortunately he refused. Due to our frequent visits to Al Mayass, we ended up making our own mixture of sauces and our own fixed menus; that’s how regular we became. (I’ll share them with you in a bit.)

Now, Al Mayass is planning to open in Kuwait soon (most probably in April). I am sure that many who experienced Al Mayass in Lebanon cant wait to repeat the same experience in Kuwait.

Best regards to Mr. Chant Alexanderian and all Al Mayass’ staff from the Buzberry team.
