History

Established in 2009.

Alforon brings you freshly made flatbread sandwiches and Lebanese cuisine from the finest of ingredients, baked daily in our state-of-the-art oven. Everything -- and we mean everything -- is hand-made in-house. Alforon uses the freshest of ingredients: no freezers, no microwave, no forced heating of any kind. We import our Zaatar and Summac, as well as our olive oil to bake like old times -- the soft flat bread sandwiches you use to roll when you were a kid, the toppings your mom, grandma and aunts did growing up. It is all done the old-fashioned way, from dough preparation and handling to baking and storing. We opened in 2009 and our goal has always been to provide the most authentic, original Lebanese dining experience around, while treating our guests like family and friends in a comfortable setting. We pride ourselves on the freshest ingredients and an impeccable level of friendliness and cleanliness. You will never eat a pre-made dish at Alforon!
