As a bit of a falafel connoisseur, it gives me a warm feeling to know that there are a number of…read moreSabbaba's around Sydney. The Bondi Junction version is probably the smallest of them all. Its pint sized interior is deceiving though, for there is nothing but big heart and ample options for a delicious feed on the hoof. Surely, there can be fewer nobler challenges than trying each and every signature Sabbaba pita roll over a period of time. Such is the allure for a falafel lover of the sight of 20 odd different types of falafels, each inspired by a place. The Tunisian is an absolute winner especially if you're a fan of chilli, sweet potato and babaganoush. Sabbaba Bondi Junction is welcoming, warm and maintains that slightly hip feel of its bigger Bondi Beach sibling. There is always a funky tune on the go and some friendly faces to help you out. It's the kind of place where you could easily lose a few hours reading a newspaper or playing a game of backgammon - if you manage to grab one of the few available seats. If it's just some great, good value takeaway food you're interested in, you'll have one of the best falafels in town in your hand in no time at all. Oh, and the coffee is great too.

It was fresh, and the menu is extensive - there's something to suit everyone! I was surprised how tasty and flavorsome the pita pocket was. Service was quick too although there was a line. I'd definitely go back! They had this egg, haloumi cheese, and avocado pita pocket that looked very nice and I want to try it :)

In a city were you can't sneeze without blowing boogers on a kebab shop, there are certainly some…read morethat stand out and some that should be avoided like the bird flu. Fatima's on Cleveland Street in Surry Hills (nearing Redfern), is one of the good ones. Many a time I have stumbled in from the Norfolk across the way in search of some quick, cheap eats. I wouldn't even venture to recount the details (of anything) on those occasions but I have, however, been to Fatima's whilst sober. And eating a sober kebab is something I very rarely do. The freshness and zest of their hommus is worth noting all on its own. Sometimes I take home a whole tub of it (for $7, I believe), to eat with veggies during the week. Usually, I go for the falafel kebab, if I'm goin' big. The tabouli is amazing as well. If you're indulging, please don't NOT get the baklava, we're talking life-changing flakey, ooie, googie greatness in puffy square form. Don't tell anyone, but one time I went in there and got one, ate it, paused, reflected, got another one, ate that, pondered, praised, then NEARLY got a third. A friend had to intervene. And wanna know what else? Fatima's is open til 3am! Boom, put that in your hooka and smoke it.

Given that Fatima's is open until 3 am and has some very positive yelp reviews, I was excited to…read moretry this place! But maybe my hopes were a little too high? Tried the vegetarian platter to get an all around feel for the dishes ($20 pp), and added on some vegetarian lady fingers ($8). Not sure why "lady fingers" is a popular name for food, but here, it refers to flakey filo stuffed with spinach, onions, and a little ricotta cheese doused in a serious amount of lemon juice. Indeed, the baba ghanouj, tahini, and eggplant they served were all way sour for my tastes. The filo on the lady fingers was wet as all the food is preprepared and sitting under a heat lamp. The falafel was solid, but not particularly seasoned or flavorful, and with so many enticing smells wafting down this street from other Lebanese eateries, I'd keep exploring. Nice folks work here, but atmosphere wise, the dining room is dark and has a bit of a smell.

We all have that favourite kebab shop that we swear has the best kebabs in all of Sydney. Well, I'm…read moresorry, but unless your favourite kebab shop is also Brothers Kebabs on Princes Highway, you are sadly mistaken. Playing homage to their Turkish origin the Brothers boys ensure all their kebabs are of genuine Turkish quality with only the best meats on offer including beef, lamb and chicken to mix and match with the fillings of your own choice - including tabouli, lettuce, onion, cheese, tomato and more - to create the ultimate kebab to suit your tastebuds. Prices are average starting from $8.50 for a kebab and extra for special fillings, which may seem steep but at the end of the day, how can you put a price on absolute satisfaction? And for just an extra $3.50 make sure you order hot chips as a side, their slightly lemony flavoured chicken-salted chips are a definite must. But to make things even better, the kebab shop is open til late for all those party goers looking for a late night feed after a big night out. They say alcohol makes your food taste better, but in this case, trust me, it doesn't need it.

The kebabs are not only good, they are also consistent... they're juicy and delicious Every. Friggin. Time. As for which kebab and what combo, everyone's got their fav and swear to god bro it's like the best, you'll never eat anything else, so I'll let you choose your's. If you're not onto it already have it with the yoghurt drink, perfect combo.

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.
