Welcome to Shawbak.

We’re a Lebanese Eatery & Bakery, where every meal is rooted in family, tradition, and the generous spirit of Lebanese hospitality.

Our story is shaped by generations of recipes, passed down through kitchens filled with laughter, care, and the belief that food is an expression of love.

Every dish we serve carries that heritage forward—honoring tradition while welcoming new memories to be made around our table.

Our Purpose

Shawbak was founded by a Lebanese family with a deep love for sharing the flavors, memories, and warmth of home.

Our Food

From freshly baked manoush and savory pastries to comforting breakfasts, shawarma, falafel, hummus, and homemade drinks, each item is prepared with intention and shared with pride.

Whether you are stopping by for a quick coffee and bite, gathering with family for a meal, or discovering Lebanese flavors for the first time, Shawbak is a place where everyone is welcomed, remembered, and cared for.

Hospitality

In Lebanese culture, hospitality is not an act—it is a way of life.

At Shawbak, generosity is at the heart of everything we do. We believe no guest should ever feel like a stranger, because every guest becomes part of our extended family.

Community

More than a bakery or eatery, Shawbak is a reflection of home—of Sunday mornings, shared tables, and the simple joy of feeding others well.

We hope every visit leaves you not only satisfied, but connected—to our food, our story, and to the spirit of community we are proud to share.

Whether you’re stopping by our Melrose kitchen for a quick bite or joining us from neighboring Malden, Medford, and the North Shore, our table is always open.

We are honored to serve you and to bring a piece of Lebanon to your neighborhood.

One table, one meal, and one welcome at a time.
