Good morning, guys from our next video here in Lebanon, specifically here in
Beirut, and I’m with my buddy Fuad. Hey, what's up, guys! and Fuad's driving us
over to…how do you put-- How do you pronounce it? Mano , Mano, Mano alright.
So, Mano is this recommendation for shawarma that I've gotten quite a
few times. I've already been to restaurant Joseph for shawarma, which for
me, that's the best in the world; and then a few other shops, both here up in Byblos
and a couple other spots, but I've been told that Mano is going to be one of the
best shawarmas and what makes Mano so special? There, he does like, the
sujuk shawarma. Sujuk is like the sausages, yeah, but it's a bit spicy, it's delicious.
Oh alright. And there's another thing, the Basterma it's like a type of meat
yeah, I don't know how to explain it but it looks like,
it looks thin when they do it. I don’t know You know, how they do the turkey pieces in the
machine, in the supermarket. Right. There's the,
it cuts like into small pieces it's the same thing as Basterma. It's delicious.
I think we're gonna love the food over there. Sweet. Yeah so, we're gonna have to load up.
We haven't eaten anything yet today so we can save our appetites and
chow down on some delicious shawarma. So let's head on over guys, we're almost there.
So, we'll see you once we get there. And it looks like we're coming up on
Mano right there, it's sitting here right on the street corner, as you can see
right over here guys, and you can see yeah Basterma, Sujuk, Mani
Since 1966 That is a great sign, yeah.
That's a legacy. That is definitely a legacy. The challenge though it's the
middle of a working day on Friday and so there is no parking, there's a lot of
traffic here, which for me hearing all of the things going on-- Seeing all the
things going on with shortages of fuel, it's crazy how busy the streets are
still but a lot of the traffic does come from lines of built-up cars waiting to
get gas. So, you get a mix of both, right now, but yeah let's see how long it
actually, takes us to find a parking spot over here.
Habibi, merci, he’s the- he's the valet parker, so we don't even need to look for a spot. Bonjour.
Bonjour bro, Merci. Alright, let's do it and we're getting
honked at. Thank you very much, thank you.
Alright, here we are at Mano!
time to get some delicious food. (Speaking in foreign language) bro!
Good morning. Oh, good morning, good morning
Oh yeah so this is what we've got going on here that's the chicken
yeah, that’s the chicken, that is the chicken, that's the beef Is that, sujuk?
Oh yeah (Speaking in a foreign language)
Habibi
Nice to meet you, yeah you guys are gonna make some delicious food then today
Yeah
Merci, merci, (Speaking in foreign language) bro.
Alright let's get some shawarmas here, yeah? Yeah, I think we'll
start with the sujuk. That’s something new so, some sujuk. alright bro yeah
Whatever you recommend, we’ll get it.
(Speaking foreign language)
Bonjour, Merci. Alright we'll take those
Sweet. So, they give us a ticket here and it's about 102000 with the current
exchange rate, Two sujuk shawarma. That's the good stuff.
Merci (Speaking in foreign language)
That’s the sucuk right there this is my first time ever seeing a sujuk shwarma.
Oh yeah that is good There it goes
Yum, look at that nice slice right going down there. That is gonna be delicious.
They're getting it fully loaded too This is the only place that sells sujuk shawarma, yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, so that's their specialty here, and sujuk--
Yeah, for me, you're the man. Oh sweet. Let's try a little chicken
here too, thank you. (Speaking in foreign language)
No pickles for me.
No pickles, no tomatoes. What do you want in?
Just the sujuk. The thoom (Garlic)
garlic mm-hmm Yeah, sujuk, thoom, and
that's it yeah.
Plain and easy. Chicken is very good, bro.
(Speaking in foreign language)
That's gonna be good so wrap it up
In-- And then that- that's like the heat box that gets it a little
warmer. yeah, oh sweet. So that's how we get it going
Geez, I gotta come back and try each one of these. You know
that's gonna be delicious.
Oh yeah and then this is where the ‘thoom’ (garlic)
happens oh yeah extra thoom
Habibi
oh yeah, get the fries in there too that is, that is the good stuff
oh yeah, oh yeah that is- that is what we call a sujuk shawarma.
right there
oh, a little slice and dice up top too
Look at that perfection.
Oh yeah, Habibi (Speaking in foreign language) for you
Yeah. You know what's the meaning of tips? Oh my god!
He loves it, that's good. This is the one and only sujuk shawarma
here, and they made that perfectly, so let's do this
Cheers guys!
Oh my god Now I understand what all the hype is about.
This is so good.
I will say, it tastes so much different than like sujuk I’ve had
like when you get it, as like traditional Lebanese. You know when it comes in
the bowl, how's that explained. So, it came with a metal- metal bowl,
it was really hot the sauce- the sauce was boiling so it
came like- came with like pieces like sujuk with cheese-- I think Parmesan and Cheddar cheese you know like--
and like small pieces of tomatoes so red with fresh bread it was awesome.
And even here it's like a proper sandwich of sujuk so its really good. Yeah, so so good.
Like as you can see in here, it looks so much different than the sujuk that I
had and when I first got to Café de Ced I was like alright, this is my favorite
food, then I had sujuk at a few other places and they didn't make it the same
way as Café de Ced, so it wasn't my favorite but now that I've had it like this
loaded with the fries, the ‘thoom’ which is like a garlic sauce if you saw
my other videos as well as this delicious hefty piece of
meat so yum, yum, yum.
Fuad trained me early on that the best part of the shawarmas are always the bottom
because by that time like all the thoom has been pushed in more infused with the
flavors and those last couple bites are just the
absolute best. So, let's- let's enjoy.
Oh man. Sujuk, smiley face these guys look good. Can you grab the camera for a second, bro? Yeah.
look at that, we got a sujuk smiley face custom made, (Speaking in foreign language) bro.
Yum, yum, yum, yum. oh, oh, oh, oh, the wind is taking it. The wind is trying to take it
away that is my smiley face to chow down on it
yeah, geez I'm gonna put on a couple-- You pointed out this one-- I'm gonna
put on a couple of kilos after getting eleven after two months dude
we're just chowing down every day. It's really good food.
And the last bite I’m sad the food is that good I feel like--
Alright, now we gotta try this smiley face bro you gotta try some too
yeah, I'll try this one. That's the better one to try first.
Alright, I’m gonna try this one out What do you think?
And this is like what we had at Café de Ced. Sausage form of a sujuk but its still a sujuk.
Yeah, but no that's normal sausage that's not sujuk. Ah, normal sausage. I guess we've tried the Basterma.
It's really good. Maybe some pickles?
They're really generous here. They are.
Yeah, they took care. They just brought that out for us. Try a little pickle
it'll uh give it a nice sting right after. They don't like their customers to be sad.
We came late last night they even they made us a shawarma. So yeah, yeah, we
came here after going out and we're like we need to have one of these, like 2 a.m
and they already closed and we're like please, please, please, they had just enough
chicken left to make us some shawarmas the other night and they were great, even at
the very end of the night.
(Speaking in foreign language) bros you got one more shawarma
going on in here? Habibi yeah, let's do it one more shawarma?
No, no, no more!
Oh, yeah, we need a- we need a nice big shawarma. Three bro.
Extra thoom- extra thoom bro. You like extra thoom bro? Two extra thoom, one no extra thoom.
Let's see alright so here we get-- We've got them that's a special way to do it here, right?
They say- they say this place is the best in the world. Oh, yeah there we go
Get her loaded up there my guy, oh my god. Oh yeah that's gonna be good that is a good-looking shawarma that you
see how quick he put that thing together?
Oh, there we go oh presentation next level, level up here let's get it yum, yum,
yum that's gonna be good bro
Habibi, (Speaking in foreign language) bros
Did someone say Mano? Alright I guess it's time to give
it a shot here bro this is gonna be good yeah
Let's try it out here.
Extra thoom baby! Hey bro (Speaking foreign language) Thank you very much bye!
Oh that was good we might have to come back later today to try the beef and the
chicken, I think that's gonna be the move. What do you think bro? Yeah.
Lunch and dinner Mano, that's the way to do it. Wait let's ask them this
time at what time they close. Yeah, yeah. yeah let's see just so we know.
While we're walking over there, you can see is that fresh sujuk hanging in
there that's, I think Basterma Basterma, and is that sujuk? Or it's
all? Basterma is served like this, and sujuk is served like this. Yum, yum. So, that looks amazing.
As you can see guys, we're not the only one with the idea to come to get some
sujuk. This place is popping off right now. Everyone is enjoying a nice
shawarma lunch.
Let's ask our--
That's our chef bro, Merci. (Speaking in foreign language) It was delicious, really appreciate it.
Oh, they close at 2 a.m. 2 a.m .okay. we're gonna come back later tonight

You, thank you bye. we'll come back in a couple hours we
want to get the chicken and the beef at like for dinner time we return yeah? Yeah.
thanks. Merci bro (Speaking in foreign language) alright
Guys that's where I'm going to go ahead and end this video today, it was a bit
shorter of a video but as I've been told by many people in Lebanon, the sujuk
from Mano, the shawarma sujuk is some of the best and I will tell you it truly
lives up to its name. We did mention on our way out we're gonna go back and try out
the chicken and the beef, we probably will at some point. Unfortunately, last
night we weren't able to fit it in the schedule. We had some things come up but
let me just tell you the shawarma we had was so good and the night before or
maybe two nights before we went there at like 2 a.m. It was their last batch and
we had some chicken then and so I did get a small sneak peak of it, wasn't as
fresh as what we had during the day as you guys saw, but it was still so good so
highly recommend checking out Mano if you're gonna be here down in Beirut,
Lebanon, the food is delicious as I've said a million times now. So, yeah guys
