New Yasmeen Bakery

"New Yasmeen Bakery has been providing Lebanese cuisine to the Dearborn community since 1986. Expect plenty of seasoned Lebanese flatbreads like manaeesh spiced with za’atar and the ever elusive lahm bi ajeen (minced meat and spices baked on thin dough.) There’s also a wide selection of croissants available. For those with a bigger appetite, check out the selection of fried kibbeh, falafel, and shawarma. Diners can place online orders through Toasttab." - Danny Palumbo

"During Ramadan, the bakery keeps its doors open 24/7." - Serena Maria Daniels

"The storefront on the corner offers an extensive range of pastries, a hot counter, and a grocery section featuring New Yasmeen’s house-made pita bread. Specializing in Lebanese cuisine, the eatery boasts delectable baked goods like mashallah and mini cheese and parsley pies. Many argue that New Yasmeen makes the best shawarma and toum in the area, though the debate is heated." - Courtney Burk

"The rationing of ingredients for bread, the shortage of basic supplies like toilet paper, the rising number of casualties — when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit the United States, it reminded Hussein Siblini, co-owner of Dearborn’s New Yasmeen Bakery, of the civil war he witnessed growing up in Lebanon." - Zahir Janmohamed
