La Zeez, Lebanese street food truck in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
La Zeez is a Lebanese street food truck in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, serving fresh dishes from a mobile unit. The truck operates as a takeaway spot, with a menu that highlights traditional Lebanese flavors and a focus on quality ingredients.
La Zeez started during the Covid pandemic when founder Hussein, then working in finance, bought a food truck and began selling from his driveway. After connecting with the St James Centre, he secured a spot there in 2023 and later expanded to more locations across Edinburgh.
The truck brings a taste of Lebanese street food to Edinburgh, filling a gap for those who miss the flavors of home. Customers often chat with the founder, Hussein, who is happy to share stories about the food and its origins.
The truck is based on Little King Street, near the St James Centre, an area easy to reach on foot from the city center. Service is takeaway only, so plan to eat elsewhere, and expect queues at peak lunch hours.
The founder balanced his finance job with late shifts at the truck for the first year, working from 5 to 10 pm after his day job. He initially gave himself a year to see if the business would work before committing fully.
