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.

Fantastic. Waiter offered excellent recommendations and was a lovely chap…read more Chicken with lemon and garlic, fish with rice and lamb shank with rice were all great. Bread was mass produced. Dips excellent. Vine leaves top notch. Small complimentary desserts were a great touch. My fussy eater kids loved it.

Tonight I had the pleasure of eating some of the best Lebanese food I've ever eaten!…read more We ordered the Vegetarian Banquet (made vegan) to share and I missed getting photos of most of it because we got into it so quickly, so here's the one shot I took of the night. My personal favourites were the hummus and tabouli, balila, spinach triangles (with spinach from Eddie's own garden) and the stuffed vine leaves (which I don't usually enjoy but these were so good)! Our host for the evening Eddie (yes, THE Eddie) was humble, attentive, and had such a passion for homestyle cooking. I highly recommend giving Eddie's Vegan Eatery a visit if you live near the St George area of Sydney. From the starters all the way to the baklava and tea at the end, it was a divine experience.

The food and service is fantastic. Eddie's Lebanese Eatery is a very welcome addition to Mortdale's…read morelittle strip on Morts Road. You'll notice that as soon as you arrive you're warmly greeted by Eddy and his staff who are very attentive. All of the food we've eaten is very fresh, the banquet is good value and the platter for 2 for smaller groups also offers a good variety. The a la carte menu offers all of the usual lebanese cuisine, the serving sizes are generous and I think the prices are fair for what they offer. We've been many times and have also gone in large groups and the food has always been consistent. Make sure you finish the meal with some lebanese coffee and a sweet!

It was 9pm on a Thursday night. I'd finished work and was starving. Most restaurants are closed…read morearound this time, so it's hard to get some good take out if you don't have any food in the fridge. I'd just moved to the Belmore area and was living there for a few weeks before I'd discovered the beauty that is El-Manara. Lebanese food is always good, but sometimes, certain restaurants can be hit and miss with the quality and value of their meals. I love just ordering a mixed plate, and to my luck El-Manara was still open when I phoned them, after looking up the local Lebanese restaurants in the area. This one was one of the closest to my house, 6 minutes around the corner to be exact. So when I asked if they had a mixed plate, the man on the end of the phone said he'd "put something together for me". I told him to make it for 2 people to share. I expected the price to be about $30 (because I've also ordered from other Lebanese restaurants in the area, and based on the other business' prices, they charged $15 for a mixed plate for 1, so I just assumed enough for 2 would be double that.) I was surprised when the man on the phone said "Okay, for you, twenty dollars." "Twenty dollars?" I asked, in disbelief. Knowing what Lebanese restaurants are like, they are usually very generous with their food, and for me, ten dollars each for that kind of food is massive value for money. He confirmed the price, and I told him "I'll give you $25 when I get there" he paused and then asked "will you give me $20 or $25?" with a slightly confused tone in his voice. "I'll give you $25 man!" I said excitedly! Knowing that was what I valued my food at, hoping that he'd give me good value for my money. His response to that was: "You give me $25, I give you extra food!" Well, brilliant! Needless to say, ten minutes later, I picked up my food - and to my surprise, walked out of there with 2 huge meat trays filled with so many chicken and lamb skewers and kafta sausages, 6 falafels, vine leaves, a plate of pickled peppers, two garlic dips, two tubs of hummus, two tubs of baba ganoush and two bags of Lebanese bread. It was more food than my sister and I could eat in one sitting, so we devoured the remainder for lunch the next day! I think I got the luck of the draw, perhaps I was the last customer they served before closing that night, so I possibly received all the extra food they had left in the kitchen so they didn't waste it by throwing it out. But for me, being a Lebanese food lover, who is willing to pay for the quality and quantity of my food, but also loves a meal that is excellent value for money - this restaurant ticks all the boxes! Upon pickup I noticed they had a very small in-house seating area for diners who wish to dine-in, however, I highly recommend this joint mainly for takeaway purposes only, as the seating isn't very generous and isn't very intimate as you're smack bang next to the ordering counter for people who walk in off the street to order their takeaway. Haldon Street boasts a fair few Lebanese restaurants, but if you're taking your food home with you - definitely hit this place up for a taste test!

Eastbite is my favourite Lebanese restaurant. Ever. While I'm no expert, from what I have tasted of…read moreLebanese food, Eastable is the best. The food is sensational and always tastes fresh. Service is great. The waiters go out of their way to look after you, and are very helpful when asked for menu suggestion. I went here after friends raved about it. And I'm so glade they did. Now I know where to go the next time I'm craving Homous or baba ghanoush. The ladyfingers and fried eggplant are also good as is the lamb shwarma and garlic chicken. The cosy restaurant is BYO, with a small corkage fee per person. Parking is an issue, because Eastable is located on the perpetually busy, King George's Rd. Prices are also a little high, though average for a Lebanese restaurant. And the delicious food is worth the price tag. I can't wait to go back!

Excellent restaurant, wonderful food and an excellent host. Highly recommended !…read moreBeing a small restaurant I would suggest booking ahead, also I would recommend the $35 per person feast they have on offer. Also it's BYO so don't forget the wine!

I was driving through Bankstown and needed a quick feed. Saw the closest Kebab shop and went in…read more Didn't expect much.. however.. Presentation: The kebab came wrapped in foil paper on a plate with fries. Taste: Chicken Kebab with cheese, BBQ and Garlic sauce. The kebab is smaller than most other kebabs but what it lacks in size, it makes up in flavour. I've never been a fan of kebabs which have too much meat. This kebab had the perfect amount of meat, vegetables, and sauce. One of the best chicken kebabs I've had in a long time. The meat was tasty and not too salt. Sauce not too overbearing. The fries came with chicken salt and I think paprika. Really crispy and delicious. Service: The guys at the counter were cool. They just did their thing. Location/Atmosphere: Not somewhere you'd take your partner out for a romantic dinner lol. It's in a very convenient location, just 2 minutes walk from the station. Carpark 1 minute walk away. Recommendation: This is now one of my favourite kebab shops. Will drop by next time I'm going through Bankstown. Cost: Kebab + fries + Drinks : $13.50

Before going to Summerland I've checked the reviews and noticed low score for customer service…read more Nevertheless yesterday lunch time four of us went to have the experience that can only be classified as "unique". Firstly, we were greeted by the bored look from a young man with limited english who led us through entirely empty venue and we got seated. A bottle of chilled tap water was served. While the restaurant looked clean and tidy, a quick visit to the bathroom revealed slightly less positive picture. Looking at the menu we noticed that the banquet price has risen to $40 and seafood to $60. Still, we wanted to get some food and we proceeded to order two meat banquets and one seafood. And then to our utmost shock we were told that despite the order standing at $140 we must order another banquet for the fourth person. Just to clarify, this is not "all you can eat" place where per head fee is required, this is set menu / a'la carte restaurant. Obviously we didn't want to spend another $40 because of the restaurateurs say so. After short discussion we did what we have never done before, we left the venue dumbfounded and shocked describing middle eastern culture in words that would not be published on this site. $40 for food is expensive. Actually it is very expensive. $60 for fish is just a rip off. The waiter was of the "I don't give a damn" type, maybe not rude, but definitely lacking in the service and manners department. Don't think we'll ever go back. For all hungry souls walk to the Bankstown RSL, excellent food for approx $15 a head.
