Sidon, also known as Saida, is Lebanon’s third-largest city, celebrated for its historic fishing ports, citrus orchards, and medieval Crusader fortress. The city’s long-standing traditions of hospitality and cuisine have inspired Lebanese families worldwide, including the Hariri family, who have carried this culinary heritage with them to the United States.
The Hariri Legacy
When Mahmoud and Bahaa Hariri—father and son—settled in Toledo in the early 2000s, they brought more than recipes; they carried a vision of community, family, and authentic Lebanese dining. After the success of their Middle East Market, established in 2005, they expanded to create Sidon Lebanese Grille & Bakery, a restaurant dedicated to celebrating the flavors of their homeland.
Dining & Tea Experience
Located at 4625 W Bancroft St, Toledo, OH 43615, Sidon Lebanese Grille & Bakery offers guests more than just a meal. Visitors can enjoy freshly baked bread, traditional Lebanese dishes, and a wide selection of teas in a welcoming atmosphere that combines modern design with Middle Eastern warmth. Whether you are stopping in for a quick bite, a family dinner, or a relaxed tea experience, the Hariris ensure every visit feels like home.
Fresh, Wholesome Food
At Sidon, quality ingredients are the cornerstone. From halal-certified meats to freshly prepared breads, hummus, falafel, shawarma, and sweets, every dish reflects the Hariri family’s dedication to healthy, authentic Lebanese cooking. Their goal has always been simple: to bring people together over food that nourishes both body and spirit.
Community & Cultural Bridge
Sidon Lebanese Grille & Bakery is more than a restaurant—it’s a cultural bridge that connects Toledo with the traditions of Lebanon. Guests are invited not only to taste but to experience Saida’s rich history of food, family, and hospitality.
