It all began in 1881, in one of the most historic towns of Lebanon, Tripoli; where Al Hallab, formerly a family cafe, welcomed all of Lebanon’s aristocrats, artists, and cultural individuals to enjoy the most mouthwatering sweets and heartwarming hospitality. As time went on, through dedication and hard work the cafe evolved to be the largest authentic Lebanese sweets provider in the region. Under the apprenticeship of his ancestors, and his rich experience in the hospitality industry, Rami Al Hallab ventured to Dubai in 2002, to develop Al Hallab Restaurant and Sweets into a prominent full-service Lebanese restaurant group.

Al Hallab Restaurant & Sweets is available in four locations across Dubai offering its patrons a full-service Lebanese Grill dining experience in Al Garhoud, The Dubai Mall, Mall of Emirates and a Seafood experience, under the umbrella of ”Al Hallab BAB EL BAHR”, in Downtown Dubai.

In Istanbul, Rami Al Hallab, the fifth generation of the Al Hallab family, is on a mission to offer the same experience of Al Hallab Lebanese gastronomy to the Turkish market targeting locals and tourists alike on the high streets of Istanbul with luxury settings and inspired flavors.
We are proud to share Al Hallab’s long years of food and hospitality experience by being closer to our Turkish guests to serve them better with our legendary menu and elegant ambiance. In order to cater to the increasing demands of our Turkish customers, Al Hallab currently has two branches in most exclusive neighborhoods of the European side of Istanbul; Nisantasi and Fisekhane.

Yet, no matter how much Al Hallab has grown or how many branches it may open, it will always stay true to its family values; authenticity, hospitality, quality and service, to anyone and everyone who walks through its doors…
