LIL WATAN roughly translates to ‘for the homeland’, it also appears in the Lebanese national anthem. The composition of the Lebanese national anthem was influenced by Beirut’s exposure to western culture at the end of the 19th- century. We are a global people that have more Lebanese outside the country than inside. This directly informs our passion to reach those constantly seeking the country’s authentic food abroad.

Our goal at LIL WATAN is to provide authentic Lebanese food to every person who has a forever craving for Lebanese food after trying it just once, to the home sick Lebanese craving the authentic taste in every bite and offering the Lebanese soul to every person ready for a healthy culinary escape. We’ll make sure to warn newcomers of the eternal craving we’re casting on them.
