The company will open its first Lebanon location in late October 2025 on Hamra Street in Beirut, marking the brand’s return to the city that inspired its creation.
Black Spoon Group announced the expansion through a franchise partnership with Fashmore Holding. The casual dining brand launched in 2018 and operates locations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Charbel Mhanna, CEO of Black Spoon, said: “We are proud to announce Allo Beirut’s entry into Lebanon, a homecoming that holds deep meaning for our entire team. For the past seven years, we’ve been celebrating Beirut; its food, its energy and its spirit across the UAE and more recently in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
“We’ve been proud to carry a piece of the city into new places and share it with new audiences. That’s what makes this homecoming feel so special, it’s not just another opening, it’s a return to where it all began. This launch marks a key milestone in our regional journey and bringing the brand to Hamra feels especially significant.”
Mhanna described the opening as significant due to its location. “Hamra Street represents the cultural heart of Beirut and its vibrant energy perfectly mirrors the spirit of Allo Beirut. Together with our partners at Fashmore Holding, we’re committed to delivering an experience that not only celebrates the flavours of Beirut, but feels like Beirut,” he said.
The restaurant will occupy 675sq m across three floors and seat approximately 100 guests. The venue features an open-concept layout designed to evoke a Beirut street atmosphere, with dedicated stations for manoushe, shawarma and fresh juices.
