Beirut Express reopening on London’s Edgware Road

June 27,2019 0 Rita Ghantous

Marouf Abouzaki, alongside his wife opened London’s 1^st Maroush restaurant on Edgware Road in 1981 with the aim of serving Londoners authentic Lebanese food made the traditional way. Since then, the brand grew to include 16 outlets boasting 5 F&B concepts. These include more formal dining at Maroush Gardens, live entertainment in a more relaxed atmosphere at both Maroush Vere Street and Maroush I, Ranoush Juice offering freshly squeezed natural juice to accompany the food, as well as Maroush Bakehouse, where customers can get freshly baked artisan and Lebanese breads, sweets and cakes.

In addition, Abouzaki also launched Beirut Express under the Marroush brand, which was followed by a second branch that closed a while back before reopening recently where the original Maroush restaurant was located. Beirut Express is famous for its classic mezze and Lebanese ‘good time’ attitude. It is a fast-paced, spirited and overwhelmingly friendly F&B concept reflecting the authentic identity stemming from Beirut’s cultural roots. It serves fresh shawarma meat on a daily basis prepared using a marinating process that has been carefully perfected over the years. Whether sitting down to a relaxed dinner or rushing in for a quick self-serve lunch, the effort, passion and skill that goes into the creation of every dish is guaranteed to have guests returning for more.
