Zaroob and NoGarlicNoOnions proudly welcome back one of Lebanon’s most loved street food heroes: Abou Daoud, the man behind the legendary manakish. After the huge success of Season 1, he’s back at Zaroob Motor City, ready to surprise taste buds once again with new creations, unmatched energy, and a storytelling vibe that makes every visit unforgettable.
When to Find Him
This season, guests can enjoy Abou Daoud’s manakish all week long, with timings designed to fit every appetite:
- Weekdays (Mon–Fri): From lunchtime into the evening, 12 PM – 9 PM.
- Weekends (Sat–Sun): Morning to afternoon sessions, 9 AM – 4 PM, perfect for breakfast and lunch cravings.
New Manakish, New Surprises
Abou Daoud has returned with six new manakish specialties that push the limits of creativity while keeping true to Lebanese authenticity. Expect bold mixes, rich flavors, and textures that melt in your mouth. From classic zaatar and cheese to unexpected twists, every manouche is an invitation to taste something different. And just when you think you’ve tried them all, he has another surprise waiting in the oven!
More Than Food – It’s a Scene
The experience of eating with Abou Daoud goes beyond food. The smell of freshly baked dough fills the air, the oven crackles, and people gather around, excited to see what’s next. Families, foodies, and curious passersby line up, chatting, laughing, and sharing the joy of authentic Lebanese flavors.
As he serves, Abou Daoud often bursts into spontaneous poems – playful verses that make guests smile as much as the food does. It’s these moments, paired with the taste of his manakish, that create memories people take home with them.
Why People Keep Coming Back
Every bite of Abou Daoud’s manakish is a discovery. His 22-gram doughs are light, crisp, and perfectly balanced – a texture that surprises and delights. Toppings are generous, authentic, and full of character. He never fails to excite your palate, leaving you with the feeling that one mankousheh is never enough.
Guests who experienced him before are eager to return, and new visitors are already buzzing with anticipation. Because with Abou Daoud, it’s never just about the food – it’s about the flavors, the atmosphere, and the stories that come alive at Zaroob.
A True Hero of Season 2
As one of the seven heroes of Season 2, Abou Daoud brings back not only authentic Lebanese manakish but also the spirit of connection, tradition, and creativity. His return proves once again why Lebanese street food is loved across cultures – it’s simple, soulful, and impossible to forget.
So come for the manakish, stay for the energy, and leave with a story you’ll want to relive again and again.
