About La Rouche Lebanese Restaurant

Excelsior Street regulars will send you here for falafel fried right before your eyes—hot, crisp, and generously served. It is a no-frills, counter-service Lebanese staple where early risers drop by for morning grilled meats, warm foul, and bowls of fatteh. Portions run large and prices remain modest, drawing steady lunch crowds alongside families stocking up on dozens of spiced kibbeh and falafel rolls. For takeaway runs, tabouleh comes packed with the dressing kept strictly separate to preserve its crunch on the drive home.

  • Cooked-to-Order Falafel: Piped and fried right in front of you, arriving crisp with tahini and tangy pickles.
  • Morning Breakfast & Grills: The kitchen fires up the meat grill early, pairing charred skewers with traditional foul and fatteh plates.
  • Thoughtful Takeaway: Packed with salad dressing kept on the side so bulk orders of kibbeh, tabouleh, and rolls stay fresh.
