Maamoul Comparison Video 2019: 8 Different Choices to Choose From: One Winner!

It’s the season of “Ma3mouleté atyab Maamoul”, so why not try some of them and check the differences. On a quest to find the best Maamoul in town, I spent a long day driving around from Saida to Tripoli searching for good Maamoul. Different recipes, different shapes, different flavors, and different prices. 

Below is the final list:

  • Lamisse
  • Irap
  • Fadel
  • La Cigale
  • Bar Tartine
  • Em Fares
  • The Lebanese Bakery
  • Elika Sweets
