About us

A family barbecue house that has been feeding Tla Al Ali since 1992.

Established in 1992

It started with one smoker in a parking lot and a brisket recipe passed down through three generations. Queues formed around the block, and a year later we opened our first dining room on Wasfi Al Tal Street.

More than thirty years on we still smoke over oak, still make every sauce from scratch and still believe that barbecue tastes best when it is shared with family and friends.

Dinner by the smoker

Long tables, fresh mint lemonade and the smell of the smoker drifting through the room. Bring the whole family or book the back room for a celebration; we will take care of the rest.

Meet the pitmasters

The people behind the smoke, the sauces and the welcome.
