Mint Beirut is a takeout-only operation in Flagami, run by a daughter and her parents cooking a menu of Lebanese classics. The a la carte menu covers familiar starters — hummus, baba ghanoush, labne, falafel — alongside dishes less commonly seen on Lebanese menus around town, like kibbe nayeh (raw ground lamb with cracked wheat and spices) and samki harra, spicy cod finished with tahini and almonds. House specialties include deep-fried cheese and meat rolls, Phoenician fries tossed in lemon, garlic, and cilantro, and a hummus topped with sautéed pine nuts and tenderloin or chicken.
Shawarma wraps, lamb chops, and baklava round out a menu built around straightforward Lebanese cooking rather than reinvention.
