"The only shawarma cooked over a charcoal fire in town. I would have checked that statement for accuracy, although I’d rather just keep coming back here. It was pretty tasty."

James Brennan

"When it comes to shawarma dens, Boubouffe is almost uniformly upheld as one of the city’s best. Deep in the trendy neighbourhood of Achrafieh, this kooky little restaurant serves up meaty, juicy wraps and typically lively debate."

Helen Graves

"This is the place to get a shawarma. Smoky meat, bathed in that delicious fat, served under flatbread with roasted tomatoes which have been allowed to cook under the spit, collecting all the precious juices."

Beirut City Guide

"Their shawarma sandwiches are legendary. The chicken, an even mixture of thigh and breast, is seasoned, tender, and substantial. The beef is enriched with layers of lamb fat that give it a distinctively strong flavor."

Kamal Mouzawak

"Wonder between a chicken or meat shawarma at BouBouffe – and settle for both in the end!"

Randy Potts

"The chicken shawarma is wrapped in pita and stuffed with several French fries, a yogurt sauce, and enough garlic to kill a dozen vampires. It is a revelation."
