Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sandwich W Noss stand for?

Born in 2015, Sandwich W Noss was conceived with one simple goal: to bring back the authentic Lebanese flavor in an original snack experience.

Fresh, high quality products, a warm homemade feel and most of all, really big mouthwatering sandwiches that keep you coming back for more. The twist: when one sandwich is too little and two sandwiches are too much, we created a new ideal size: a sandwich and a half.

It’s an experience we are sharing today in every shop with more to come in the near future, more neighborhoods to reach and more people to satisfy, because that’s what a true Lebanese snack is about: giving the people food from the heart with a great value for money.
