‘Not a kebab’: It’s all about chargrilled Lebanese chicken at Tawooq
The Brunswick East eatery brings Beirut street food flavours to Lygon Street.

Named after Lebanon’s beloved chicken skewers, Tawooq offers its own take on the chargrilled chicken wrap. Meat is cubed and marinated overnight in garlic, lemon, toum (garlic sauce) and spices, then grilled on a flat-top and rolled into flatbread with chips, pickled turnips, slaw and more house-made toum. It may look like a kebab, but owner Boudy Yaacoub is quick to clarify: “It’s not as messy. It’s not as greasy. Our tagline is ‘not a kebab’.”
Hot tip: Can’t get enough chicken? Try the Asbe – toum, tomato, pickles and chicken liver on a baguette.
