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.

My sister told me there is good restaurant around this area so I tried…read more I ordered (Sorry I forgot the name of food but you can see the picture what I ordered) Pizza(eggplant )- bomb!! I had first bite and was really good!! Vegetables was fresh so every each bite brings good taste of vegetables in my mouth! Like wow ! Dough wasn't dry was moist so was perfect match with the ingredients! Skewers plate? (Sorry forget the name but you can see on the picture) -I had skewers (lamb rack ,chicken mince lamb?) was delicious!!!!! I'm not huge fan of lamb but this lamb omg omg good flavor!!! I can taste of into the meat and the meat was juicy and good seasoning and was perfectly cook!! I can say more more much more good thing about this dish but let me calm down anyway good ..serving with pita bread and white creamy sauce and vegetables put all together on the pita and wrap and eat taste like come from heaven oh i forget the rice the rice?? Bomb... Cheese spinach wrap (sorry forgot the name) -was really good also it's like spinach cheese wrap with egg paper. Falafel plate-served with two pieces falafel and rice(this rice was bomb I think it's garlic rice?? Omg delicious!) and comes with mixed salad and hummus I can tell the hummus is house fresh made and it was best hummus I never try so far. I'm just visiting here. 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.

We ordered a lot of food! The Sahra Feast, Labne, Kibbe. The food started arriving and its was a big WOW. First the Labne sprinkled with a bit of dried mint and a big drizzle of EVOO. The large individual bag of Pita was probably the best we have ever had. Perfectly thin in my opinion the closest to Lebanese Bread that I grew up eating. The Kibbe was of course my favorite thing. And Sahra's is perfect. Then the Feast arrived. We looked at each other and wondered how we were going to eat all of the food. The Lamb skewer was our favorite followed by the Kafta...the poor chicken skewer just couldn't compete!!! But it was delicious but just chicken. The Feast had had hummus, baba ghannous, tabouli, pickles and garlic sauce. Everything just down right awesome. Service was great which only enhances the atmosphere. Highly recommend. Will definitely return when visiting Australia.

When you look at the menu thought you'll find out that's it's actually Mediterranean cuisine. Unfortunately I think it tries to cater across too many cuisines. From Spanish to Italian to Arabic. I was drawn to the Italian food since it's my favourite European cuisine and to be honest I was quite let down with both the dishes we ordered.

We ordered pretty much everything on the menu. Chicken, fries, extra garlic sauce (toum.. twice), tabouleh, fattouch, a kafts sando, and more chicken. The char-grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. Juicy, flavorful and smokey, just how we like it. The tabbouleh needed a bit of extra lemon squeezes but really hit the spot. Fries - superb. Extra thick and crunchy which is how I like mine thankfully.. other Lebos like them thin and lanky. The kafta needed some more moisture, but was good. Get a side of the pickles to pair sour with salty along the way. I'm salivating just writing this. I wish SO badly that they would open up a store in San Francisco. Owners- if you're reading this, and interested in making you're way to the US, I will personally back you :p Yallah Service was fantastic. It was freezing in their 2nd dining area and they promptly turned it the AC down after we asked. Everything was clean, very friendly staff. A must for a quick meal in Sydney.

And also as a newbie, I had no idea how the ordering system works, but I got by when I said to the lady at the counter, "Can I get five pieces of...." walked to wherever it was and pointed to what I wanted. On my second visit, I discovered that you need to specify which plate size to get and then you can point and pick what you want. The big plates seem to be good value for parties or events. There's hardly any labels at their displays so it's hard to know what exactly it is that you're getting if you're not familiar with what they are. I think we've tried the sfoof and one flavour of their baklava, which are now both my favourites. They are pretty sweet and can get a bit sickening if you eat too much at one go, but delicious nonetheless, and great to get the garlic smell off your breath after a meal at nearby El Jannah. There are some tables and chairs for eating in, I reckon it would be good to get a group of friends together and get one of everything to get a sampler of what they have.
