Ghazar Bakery

Ghazar Bakery is a local institution in Bourj Hammoud, recognized by the steady stream of diners gathered along the narrow, car-width back street to wait for its signature lahmajoun. This thin, crispy flatbread, topped with a savory spread of minced meat and spices, is baked in a traditional stone oven that has been a focal point of the business for generations. The bakery is part of the neighborhood's long-standing Armenian culinary tradition, and its ovens have been fired by stone for over fifty years.
