This weekend's crave was Persian cuisine! We spent the day in the northern suburbs and this place…read morewas right on our way back home. I don't think the location is ideal, but then again, I'm still getting to know Sydney and there may be more to do in the area than I know of... However, it was worth stopping by for a Persian feast! The place is not very big (although there is a second floor which I don't know if they use or not), but had no problem getting seated and ordering the food. The waiting time was a little long, but that was due to a massive order being taken for takeaway just before we got in. The chef came out halfway through to apologise to us, which was nice. We didn't mind as we were in no rush and were enjoying ourselves anyway. But then it came! The meal I was looking for, a big sharing Chelo Kabab which was very tasty and fulfilling. Particularly, I'm a big fan of the mince-meat from these restaurants. It was lovely. The waitresses were very nice and helpful too. I reckon we will pop round again if we are ever in the area

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.

Absolutely delicious food, the service was amazing and it has a great vibe!…read more The only negative I would say is the Woonona restaurant's service is a little slow, even if they aren't busy the waitresses leave you waiting far to long to order food and drinks - (you have to give them that awkward stare for quite a while before they'll realise and serve you). Other than that, the food is impeccable, it's one of my favourite restaurants!

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.

It came with a big box of chips (better known as fries in the US). They weren't very crisp, but a couple of minutes in the air fryer took care of that. A salad of choice, we chose the coleslaw, which needed just a bit more tang, of which some vinegar helped. A huge bag of Lebanese bread, kind of like naan. A container of garlic sauce, much like garlic aioli. My husband thought it was very garlicky, but I thought it was just right. We each also had our choice of a can of soda. Plenty of food, with enough leftovers for another meal later. Big restaurant, friendly servers.

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.

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!
