Sama Loubnane — Restaurant in Paris

A hole in the wall with a beautiful 😍 interior joint serving Lebanese fare!

Don't let the size fool you: really welcoming, clean and cutely decorated. The exposed walls give that oriental feel. The small number of tables in the back creates an intimate atmosphere.

I was warmly greeted by the nice man and woman at the counter.

Coming from the States, I appreciated finding menu items like Lebanese sausages that I've rarely seen even in major cities like Boston.

I had the meat pie and the sausage sandwich.

The pie 🥧 tasted amazing: the dough was soft, didn't feel heavy, and the meat was well seasoned.

My sausage sandwich came with garlic 🧄 sauce (which I tasted on the first bite), lettuce, tomato 🍅, onions, parsley and turnips. The garlic was not overpowering at all. On the second bite, I tasted the amazing sausage 🤤 😍, with a hint of smoked paprika-like heat and excellent seasoning. The pita 🫓 bread was al dente, not too soft, not too hard. Everything worked well together.

I left with a tasty 😋 baklava present: not too sweet, crunchy, with orange blossom 🌼🌸 flavor.

I have eaten shawarma all over the middle east and know what it is supposed to taste like. Im always looking for a good shawarma place in Paris and have tried 15-20 different restaurants. This has been the best shawarma I have had in Paris. The spices and flavor profile are authentic. The meat is cooked just right, not dry or tough. This is rare to get right. Also the grape leaves are homemade which is even more rare. Most businesses will serve you something from a can because it is too much work to make them by hand. Their meatless grape leaves were homemade and had nice tangy flavors. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their dishes. The couple who own the restaurant are lovely and very warm. They embody Arabic hospitality and in their restaurant I was made to feel like I was a guest in their home. The restaurant is across the street from Jardin Luxembourg and is perfect for a picnic in the park. You will very much enjoy your decision...

Amazing value and amazing flavors. Finally shawarma the way its supposed to be.

This shop is run by a cute couple with a passion for the food they serve. You could tell by the way they prepare the food and also by the way the owner came and asked us about how the food was very good 😁

He was right, the food was very good. Exceptional even. Super generous portions for prices that are so fair that its rare nowadays. I’ve had plenty of shawarma in Berlin and this was the real deal. Juicy and flavorful without being overly spicy. Everything but the bread seems to be homemade. The condiments were fantastic.

I can only recommend for you to go if you want to have a very satisfying, fresh and very tasty meal at...
