Al Hallab’s journey began in 1881 in Tripoli, one of the most historic towns in Lebanon, where it started as a family cafe. Serving mouth watering sweets and offering warm hospitality, the cafe became a favorite of Lebanon’s aristocrats, artists, and cultural figures. Through dedication and hard work, it evolved to become the largest authentic Lebanese sweets provider in the region. With a rich experience in the hospitality industry and the guidance of his ancestors, Rami Al Hallab established Al Hallab Restaurant and Sweets in Dubai in 2002, which has now become a prominent full-service Lebanese restaurant group. 

Al Hallab has four locations across Dubai, offering patrons a full-service Lebanese grill dining experience at Al Garhoud, The Dubai Mall, Mall of Emirates, and a seafood experience under the name “Al Hallab BAB EL BAHR” in Downtown Dubai. 

In Istanbul, the fifth generation of the Al Hallab family, Rami Al Hallab, is continuing his family legacy by offering the same Lebanese gastronomic experience to the Turkish market, targeting locals and tourists alike. Al Hallab’s luxury settings and inspired flavors are available in high-end neighborhoods of the European side of Istanbul, including Nisantasi and Fisekhane.
