About Laffe By Kanzaman

Laffe delivers authentic Lebanese banquet feasts from an open kitchen on Bridge Road. Uncork a brought bottle of wine for six dollars, then settle in for crisp falafel, smoky baba ghannouj, and skewers of spiced lamb kofta grilled straight off the coals. Regulars treat it like Sunday dinner at an auntie's home—warm, calm, and generous. The kitchen finishes long group spreads with house Turkish delight and strong Lebanese coffee.

  • Sharing Banquets: Multi-dish feasts featuring cold mezze, dips, pastries, and grilled skewers.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: Low six-dollar corkage pairs your favorite vintage with traditional mezze.
  • Open Kitchen Setting: Watch skewers and mezze prepared fresh in the dining room's open layout.
