Kubba or kibbeh is considered the national dish of Syria and especially Aleppo. But, it is is often credited to the Lebanese cuisine. Also, it is a popular dish also in other Middle Eastern countries, like, Palestine and Jordan. Some Kubba is named after the town in which it originated, leaving no room for argument as to who invented it. For example, "Kubba't Mosul" originated in Mosul, Iraq. "Kubba Halab," on the other hand, originated in Halab (Allepo), Syria.
