Our Story
Yalla Beirut was founded by visionary entrepreneur Mr. Ashraf Ghitany, who transformed a simple dream into one of London’s most exciting new food ventures.
Coming from the bustling marketplaces where food, culture, and community thrive side by side, Mr. Ghitany carried with him the authentic spirit of Beirut. His journey led him to the heart of the City of London, where he set out to share the flavors, warmth, and hospitality of Lebanon with a modern twist.
A Word from Our Founder "With Yalla Beirut, my mission goes beyond serving food—it’s about creating an experience. I wanted to bring the warmth of Lebanese hospitality and the flavors of my culture to London, but with a fresh, modern twist. Every shawarma burger, every sauce, and even our branded drinks are crafted to tell a story of tradition meeting innovation. For me, Yalla Beirut is not just a restaurant—it’s a place where people can come together, share moments, and celebrate culture." — Ashraf Ghitany, Founder of Yalla Beirut
