Abouzaki said, “We believe that through food, we can experience different cultures and share the happiness with which the Lebanese normally live their lives. We also developed new concepts, which include the more formal dining venue at Maroush Gardens, live entertainment at both Maroush Vere Street and Maroush 21 Edgware Road, while at Ranoush Juice we offer freshly squeezed natural juice to accompany our food. As for Beirut Express and Maroush Express, the focus is on meeting our customers’ needs for a quick meal.
