Chapter · Tradition
The Beirut recipe, brought to Lyon
Shawarma is one of the emblematic dishes of Lebanese cuisine, and it holds a special place on our menu. It all begins with a carefully measured marinade: the meat soaks up its spices before being skewered vertically to cook slowly over rotating heat. It is this double texture, tender inside, crisp outside, that makes Lebanese shawarma so distinctive.
In Lebanon, shawarma is never eaten alone: it is gladly paired with a creamy hummus or a fragrant tabbouleh, to build a meal to share around the family table.
Chicken, meat or mixed chawarma
Choose your chawarma
The chicken chawarma relies on chicken breast marinated in Lebanese spices, tender in flesh and delicate in taste. The meat chawarma, one of our specialties, unfolds deeper flavours thanks to red meat marinated at length. And for the undecided, the mixed chawarma brings the two together in the same Lebanese bread.

FAQ
Your questions about shawarma in Lyon
What is an authentic Lebanese shawarma?
Lebanese shawarma is meat marinated at length in a blend of Middle Eastern spices, skewered vertically and slow-grilled over rotating heat. At Layali Beyrouth, we honour this tradition with produce chosen fresh day by day, faithful to the flavours of Beirut. The result is tender, fragrant meat, served in Lebanese bread with fresh vegetables and house sauces.
Do you offer chicken, meat and mixed chawarma in Lyon?
Yes. At Layali Beyrouth, chawarma comes in three versions: chicken, meat or mixed. The chicken chawarma, based on marinated chicken breast, is tender and milder in taste; the meat chawarma, made with marinated red meat, develops more pronounced aromas; the mixed brings the two together. The choice is made when ordering, dine-in, via Click & Collect or delivery.
Can you order a shawarma as takeaway or delivery in Lyon?
Yes, you can collect your shawarma directly at the restaurant via Click & Collect, or have it delivered across Lyon and its area through Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Orders are prepared to the minute to preserve the moistness of the meat and the freshness of the sides, at the office for lunch or at home in the evening.
What is the difference between a shawarma and a Lebanese grill?
Shawarma refers to marinated meat, skewered then cooked vertically on the spit, whereas Lebanese grills such as kafta or chich taouk are cooked over charcoal on horizontal skewers. Both share a base of Mediterranean spices but offer different textures. Our menu features both worlds so everyone finds the specialty that suits them.
Where can you enjoy a shawarma in Lyon in a family setting?
Our restaurant is located at 38 rue du Dauphiné, in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, a few minutes from Part-Dieu. A couple at the stove and in the dining room has welcomed guests since May 2010, fifteen years of experience serving family Lebanese cuisine, in a warm atmosphere.
Can you arrange a shawarma for a group or event in Lyon?
Layali Beyrouth offers a catering service and welcomes groups of up to 30 people. Shawarma can be part of a Lebanese buffet with cold and hot mezze, hummus, tabbouleh and Middle Eastern pastries. We study each request individually, whether for a birthday, a company meal or a private hire.
