A Syrian kebab cannot be beaten. They are available in jaaj (chicken) and lahme (lamb) varieties, including the wonderful local garlic mayonnaise.
Also look out for tabbouleh, the wonderful parsley salad, hummus bi lahm (chickpea puree with meat and pinenuts), felafel and labneh (a yogurt dip).

Whilst this is fairly true as a connoisseur of schwarmas (kebabs) I have to say that the Lebanese are normally marginally better and the best I have ever had are from 'Schwarma' street (ask anyone) in Kuwait.
