Made with fresh ingredients following Lebanese tradition, the massive wraps are popular at this eatery.
"This small North Beach spot is one block from the ocean, and they make Lebanese wraps that are perfect for a little picnic on the sand or post-beach lunch. The menu isn’t huge, but options include a soujok wrap, falafel wraps, and—our favorite—the kafta wrap: ground beef and minced onions between two grilled pitas wrapped around pickles, tomato, and a house sauce. There are also some bowls and an excellent Lebanese-style burger worth asking about. It's stuffed with coleslaw, fries, and gets pressed just like the wraps, which gives the outside of the bun some gorgeous grill marks and a crisp." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"The Beach: North Beach, between 69th and 72nd Street. We’re going to loosen our definition of a sandwich for one paragraph to allow The Wrapper on this guide. This Lebanese spot is too good, and technically they do make very tasty things between a doughy form of carbohydrates. They also have a burger if you’re one of those people who count that as a sandwich. But for a beach meal, stick to the wraps. Each is pressed until it’s crispy outside and you can get them in eight or 11 inches. Our favorite is the kafta wrap: ground beef and minced onions between two grilled pitas wrapped around pickles and tomato. Pair it with the housemade rose water that feels especially designed for a sunny day. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"This small North Beach spot is named after the various (and delicious) Lebanese wraps on the menu. But their burger is great—and the only Lebanese-style burger we know of in Miami. It’s stuffed with coleslaw and fries, which might be a little hard to manage if it wasn’t all pressed into a neat, crispy little burger package on the same grill as their wraps. And just like the wraps, the outside of the bun gets some gorgeous grill marks in the process. Pair it with the housemade rose water, which you can sip while you walk off the meal on the Miami Beach boardwalk across the street." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"This small North Beach spot (and former Smorgasburg vendor) is one block from the ocean, and they make Lebanese wraps that are perfect for a little picnic on the sand or post-beach lunch. The menu isn’t huge, but options include a soujok wrap, falafel wraps, and—our favorite—the kafta wrap: ground beef and minced onions between two grilled pitas wrapped around pickles, tomato, and a house sauce. There are also some bowls and an excellent off-menu Lebanese-style burger worth asking about. It's stuffed with coleslaw, fries, and gets pressed just like the wraps, which gives the outside of the bun some gorgeous grill marks and a nice crisp. Pair it with the housemade rose water that you can sip while you walk off your meal on the Miami Beach boardwalk, located right across the street. " - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo, Mariana Trabanino
