Maamoul Comparison Video: 12 Different Choices to Choose From

It’s the season of “Ma3mouleté atyab Maamoul”, so why not try some of them and check the differences. On a quest to find the best Maamoul in town, I spent a long day driving around from Saida to Tripoli searching for good Maamoul. Different recipes, different shapes, different flavors, and different prices. 

Below is the final list:

  • Hanna mitri 
  • Joelle’s Cuisine 
  • Al baba sweets 
  • Pâtisserie Chidiac 
  • Zejd (olive oil maamoul) 
  • Amal Bohsali

  • Chanterelle 
  • Mayrig 
  • Al Kassir Saida 
  • Y The Chocolate Anfeh
