Al Hallab: From Tripoli to Dubai
Founded in 1881 in Tripoli, Lebanon, Al Hallab began as a small family-run bakeshop renowned for artisanal sweets and warm hospitality. In 2002, Ghassan Al Hallab brought this legacy to Dubai, expanding the brand into a symbol of Lebanese culinary culture.
Today, Al Hallab offers diverse dining experiences, from its full Lebanese grill at Garhoud, Dubai Mall, and Mall of the Emirates to seafood specialities at Al Hallab Bab El Bahr on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.
