Shish Tawook (Chicken Taouk) at Yalla Beiruty
Shish tawook — which we serve as Chicken Taouk — is the dish that wins hearts. Tender cubes of chicken are marinated in zesty lemon and garlic, then threaded onto skewers and grilled until juicy with a touch of char. It is simple, bright, and deeply satisfying, and it is one of the most popular orders at both of our restaurants. As always, it is halal and made fresh from scratch with no artificial flavoring, coloring, or preservatives.
You will find Chicken Taouk at our Dania Beach location (1104 S Federal Hwy) and our Coconut Creek location (6718 N State Road 7). Our family recipe, rooted in Montreal and more than 15 years of cooking, keeps it true to tradition.
The Secret Is the Marinade
What sets a great taouk apart is the marinade. Ours leans on fresh lemon and garlic, giving the chicken a vibrant, herbaceous flavor that stays tender on the grill. Each order is two skewers of zesty lemon-and-garlic chicken cubes, served with grilled vegetables, garlic sauce, grilled garlic bread, and your choice of seasoned rice, Lebanese rice, plain fries, or Beiruty fries.
How to Enjoy It
Chicken Taouk is wonderful on its own, but it truly shines as part of a larger meal. Pair it with hummus and fattoush, or order it as part of our Mixed Grill alongside kafta and beef kabab. It also appears in our Beiruty Deluxe Grill and as a protein choice for our Pearls of the Orient couscous.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Taouk is a benchmark dish — if a kitchen does it well, you know they care. Ours is grilled to order with the house garlic sauce that guests rave about, and it carries the same seasoning of love we put into everything. It is a reliable favorite for kids and adults alike.
Great for Groups and Catering
Because it is so universally loved, Chicken Taouk is a natural choice for gatherings. Whether you are planning a family dinner or a larger event, it travels and shares beautifully — ask us about catering for your next occasion.
