The Lebanese store Lama recently opened a new and much larger store near my house in Salmiya. They’re mostly known for importing and supplying the local supermarkets with Lebanon fruits, but if you visit their store you’ll also find other interesting food products. Most of the products don’t mean much to anyone except the Lebanese in the same way strangers to Kuwait won’t understand the obsession with Sunkist and KDD Gold for example. But, if you’re Lebanese you’ll be interested to know that Lama carries some of our favorites including Gandour products like Tarboush, Unica, Pik-One Safari, dry biscuits and more. They also carry BonJus, SMEDS, Picon, Lebanese bread from the Wooden Bakery as well as Taanayel dairy products.
If you’re interested in passing by they’re located in the street that’s parallel to Baghdad Street. Just take a right after Dodo and head down until you reach the main road, the store should be in front of you.

I was just there after work buying peachs and watermelon!
My mother has been buying fruit from Lama for decades. And thanks for the Taanayel info, I love their halloum cheese because it’s not very salty
I had my first exposure to Picon last week, when I stopped by Abu Arab for Ka3k on my way back from Jiye… Ka3k with picon! I had no idea what they meant until my friends offered a bite to taste
yeah i have their halloum cheese for dinner on my cheat day with fresh bread from the bakery next to dodo. delicious.
If you want to try something cool go to Lama, get the plain gandour dry biscuits (they’re circular) and also ask for plain ra7a. Go home, take 2 biscuits, put a piece of ra7a between them and grind the 2 biscuits gently together until the ra7a becomes thin. then bite into it.
THAT IS AWESOME MARK ! THANKS
