Tiger's Beirut
Lebanese-American sports diner
This is a Lebanese-American diner by the famous Lebanese basketball player named "Fady El Khatib". Fady started this restaurant along with a gym called Champs above it. That is why this spot hits headlines quite often. So what is unique about this spot? It is the spot where Lebanon meets America when it comes to food, music and vibes!
Tiger’s offers you an exciting experience the Lebanese way, from burgers to Lebanese specialties! This sports diner gives you a mix of everything from Lebanese shawarma to soujok to wings to burgers to pasta to grills to international salads and beyond. The grills are like the home-made grills "mama makes at home". Also, the cool fact about this spot is that behind the high glass windows as you enter you will get to experience the vibe of a basketball field since the restaurant is owned by Fady el Khatib as mentioned before and his number is 15!
Therefore, basically the good thing here is the food since you get huge plates decorated as American diners but prepared the Lebanese way! I once ordered a huge cheerleading triangle like shawarma sandwiches plate! And my favorite is the "CHICKEN DYNAMITE", it is just so good and worth tasting!
This spot really has a unique way of preparing its food and giving you the best of both the East and West worlds!
