A Guide to Lebanese Mezze at Yalla Beiruty

Mezze is more than an appetizer course — it is a way of eating, sharing, and slowing down. A Lebanese mezze brings a table full of small dishes to the center so everyone can dip, scoop, and sample together. At Yalla Beiruty, our mezze selection is one of the most extensive you will find in South Florida, and every plate is halal and made fresh from scratch with no artificial flavoring, coloring, or preservatives.

Visit us in Dania Beach at 1104 S Federal Hwy or Coconut Creek at 6718 N State Road 7 and let us build your spread. With more than 15 years of experience and family recipes from our roots in Montreal, we know how to set a proper Lebanese table.

Cold Mezze to Start

Our cold appetizers are the heart of any mezze. Begin with creamy hummus, smoky Baba Ghannouj, walnut-rich Muhammara, and tangy Labneh. Add Vegetarian Grape Leaves, Tzaziki, Zaatar with olive oil and sumac, and a Feta Ball (Shanklish) rolled in herbs. For the adventurous, our Kibbeh Neyeh offers fresh raw beef blended with cracked wheat, onions, and mint.

Hot Mezze for the Table

Once the cold plates are flowing, bring on the hot ones. Crispy Falafel, golden Fried Kibbeh, Cheese Rolls, and Meat Sambousek are crowd-pleasers. Batata Harra delivers garlicky, spicy potatoes, while Grilled Halloumi and our Whole Cauliflower with tahini and pomegranate molasses add something special. Soujouk and Makanek bring savory Lebanese sausage to the spread.

Build Your Own Mix

Not sure where to start? Our Mix Cold Appetizer lets you choose four of your favorites, and our Mix Hot Appetizer combines fried kibbeh, cheese rolls, meat sambousek, and falafel in one platter. It is the easiest way to taste a little of everything.

Mezze for Vegetarians

Lebanese mezze is naturally generous to plant-based eaters. Many of our cold and hot appetizers are vegetarian or vegan friendly, making it easy to assemble a full, satisfying meal without meat. We are proud to be a welcoming spot for vegetarian and vegan guests.
