We went for Schwarma and schwarma we got! For a ridiculously cheap price! $10 got me a plate of delicious chicken served on a bed of onions with a garlic dip that could have only come from heaven. You got a huge stack of lebanese bread as well. There was so much food left over I took it to have for lunch the next day, and my goodness! It was even better the next day! I'll definitely be back to try the beef schwarma!

So I don't know when I come back to this place? Definitely I will miss this place! The food was delicious and bomb and plus best service?? Omg best restaurant!!

Decided to try this place out as I walked past this restaurant…read more There are two seating choices: indoors or outdoors. At the time I was there, there was only one other person who sat indoors. The interior design of this restaurant is modern yet elegant - had some middle eastern touches on its design. Upon looking at the sample menu in the front, my eyesight glued upon chicken pilavs (Turkish style risotto) as it has cream sauce and was pan tossed with sliced mushrooms, cubed chickens and shallots. It was definitely tasty like what the menu described. It has lemony taste, the pilavs was soft yet chewy and the cream was in right proportion to linger the tastebuds. It was still hot when it was served and realized that just after I put a spoonful of it in the mouth. Tried the lemon lime bitters. It was actually soda with syrup. Was fizzy when it was served and you would need to stir the bottom to mix the beverage. Was pretty good as it has strong fruity taste that I yearn for. Overall, price wise it was pretty high for me but probably on the normal range for Australian market. The lady who served me was also cheerful and asked me how was the food. Seemed like many people had commented "loved it" that she wasn't responding to my comment. Will be back again if I'm craving for more risottos.

These guys are awesome... I was visiting my sister in Sydney Australia, all the way from Phoenix…read moreArizona, and have heated of these guys but never seen them, so they were in Lidcomb (I think) one weekend in June (freezing cold) and we went and saw them. They know how to put up a show. Lines were long and it was worth it. We get out order in and the guys are nice, friendly, with a huge smile and huge beards (just like me). They sing and dance and and bake our favorite middle eastern desert "knafeh". Now the food....I've never had Jerusalem style Knafeh, I've had of course the Armenian style called (ghadayef) also the Egyptian style which is called (basboosa) and the Jordanian and Lebanese style. I know some may say they're different but in many ways (to me) the idea is the same. This type of knafeh I had was a very good knafeh, for a food truck baking it fast, but it wasn't the best. Still we went back the next day, we got some more and their tea that they prepare omg is so good. Go for the dance, the atmosphere, the fun times, and also the knafeh. It's really good. Can't wait to come back to Sydney and Experience them again. May be they should come to Phoenix. #TheBeardedArmenian

Can we all agree that it's an outdoor family club that serves delicious dessert!?…read more I came here on a Saturday night, and holy what a scene! It was packed with people waiting in line, eating and simply there enjoying the music and entertainment. These long bearded men know how to throw a party. The music was loud, all the workers were dancing as well as the crowd that was around. This place attracted people from all ages with different diversities and backgrounds. It was something very different from what I've ever experienced, especially when there's only 3 things on the menu! 1 that's actually edible - their knafeh. The knafeh ...where do I begin. That sweeeet sweet cheese dessert!! It was almost like a more textured, creamier but lighter version of a creme brulee. It's a little sugar heavy so I would recommend sharing it with another person unless you have a major sweet tooth then you'll easily demolish this. It was simple and delicious - and to only have that on the menu they are definitely doing something right. If you haven't tried it - definitely go before they move to a different location! It's $8 you will not regret.

Iraqi food? In Sydney? Yep there sure is…read more I can't say enough good things about this place. The owner will always greet you with a smile, a rarity in most places nowadays. The food can be simply described as simple and extremely tasty. My go-to dish here is always the mix plate which consists of kebab, tika and chicken tika (a plate is enough to share for two), all meats grilled over a coal barbeque and complimentary salad/pickles and of course Iraqi bread (which is similar to Lebanese bread but a bit thicker and more filling). I love eating the meat with the delicious Middle Eastern chilli sauce that's provided as a condiment on every table. I can't fault this place, every time I go I'm never disappointed. One of Western Sydney's highlights.

After reading some great reviews of this restaurant I decided to try it out…read more We walked in and pretty much were ignored til I asked shall we sit anywhere? To which I got a nod. After about 5 mins someone came and pretty much threw menus at us, ok, so my sense of feeling like i was being judged might have been accurate. A man, I think the owner then came to take our order, i ordered the bread stew a combination tika plate and I wanted to order a shish kebab plate but the owner abruptly told me NO, you have too much food. Ok so we wont have the shish kebabs can we have some rice. To which he relented and said ok, and quickly left without asking if we wanted drinks, he did seem very distracted, we got up and got our own drinks from the fridge. The food came out pretty fast, and now I can see why this place had such good reviews. The lamb shanks were so tender and flavorful as were the chicken and lamb tika, the waiter was correct in saying we had enough food as we couldnt finish it. I have never had iraqi cuisine before but I would say this place is pretty authentic. I feel like they dont have to be overly nice to customers because the food speaks for itself, or maybe it's just their way and custom, I did note that there were no females working there, just cranky men.

By now if you are not already drooling..now come out shawarma for hubby, veggie mixed platter for me and chicken nuggets and fries for bub. Oh my god. There was silence as we worked our way through our dishes. Vegetarians - listen up! This platter is the best mix of all Lebanese vegetarian dishes put together. (I know there might be many more) every single thing was yummy. Finally there's more than falsely on my plate. I loved the salads and the baba ganoush and hummus served as well. It just is a perfect.. Very filling and fresh and yummy! Hubby said the shawarma was damn tasty too. And bub couldn't get enough of the French fries! Oh hey they also have chuppa chups at he counter. What an awesome awesome family meal :) Go there with a small or big group to share more. One of the best places in Sydney to enjoy Lebanese food for sure:)

I love it here. The prices are great. The staff are helpful…read more When you sit down the bread, sauces and pickle plate follow shortly after with table water. Things I want and don't have to ask for. My 2 friends and I spent 20 each and the portions are massive. The meat is fresh and succulent. The hummus, baba ganoush and garlic sauce are all made there. Their falafel is one of the best I've ever had. Not too dry at all. Get the mix plate for a bit of everything. I got the fried chicken tonight cause it looks so good and it was. Get that the next time. Actually. The total was 61 and the cashier said for you my friend I take 60. How good is that!

Set in the heart of Lakemba, where for a second you might think you're actually in the backstreets of down town Beirut, this well presented and clean restaurant is always ready to please. Lebanese cuisine is the menu and the garlic chicken is to die for. I always get the mixed sish plate which comes with different kinds of meat, dips, tabbouleh and some pickles. I never finish it, the value is great and you can't go past their chips with garlic sauce!! Truly a little gem which Often has people who you can tell would never set foot in Lakemba were it not for this restaurant.

We have come here twice for large family gatherings during lunch (~40-60 people). The food is…read morealways top notch and there is never a fear of going hungry. There is lots of seating with fancy table and chairs. There is also bench seating around the back. The couple negatives was mainly due to having a large group and banquet option. The banquet includes Lebanese coffee and complimentary baklava. At the end of the meal instead of bringing out the Lebanese coffee they took coffee orders, that meant people naturally asked for lattes and cappuccinos and not realizing that there was already included coffee. Then there was no baklava brought out as they thought we had enough sweets (we brought cake and another sweet), not very complimentary :/ With that said, fairly minor things that I would just make sure to avoid if I went again. Also they have fancy spout taps in the bathroom :)

The food served are still as delicious as I remembered when I was first introduced to this restaurant and fortunately STILL reasonably priced (especially for the quantity you get). They cater for everyone from all walks of life. So whether you want to bring a group of people (e.g. family) or want to dine alone...this is the place for it. The smell of the meat being cooked (I think they are charcoal grilled) permiates all over the restaurant. You could even smell it before opening the door to enter the restaurant (the aroma was enough to get me hungry)! The yoghurt they serve with the meat is incredibly delicious - and healthy! It is light textured (unlike those yoghurt that makes you feel heavy in the stomach) and there's a hint of mint on it that will linger on your tastebuds. They also add diced cucumber to make it refreshing. Their rice: I have never appreciated rice as much as I have in this place. I ate a whole plateful of it and still felt great afterwards. Not sickeningly full - just satisfied. They also mixed a bit of butter on it. Taste and freshness in ingredients is obviously important to this restaurant. I'm not usually fond of eating lamb. But this place might have just changed my opinion on it. I'll definitely be introducing it to more people.
