Anyway, I ordered a wrap and couldn't really understand the menu, it seemed to repeat fries, pickles and chicken in the wrap. Then when it arrived I understood. There is a mammoth amount of chicken, fries and pickles IN the wrap - fries inside the wrap. Fries. Inside. The. Wrap. I think I woke up 3 hours later from a carb coma. Go here. Be amazed by the fries in wrap. With pickles.

The Friendjamin 3 came here for lunch (well technically it was just 2 of the 3 as the 1 was…read morewaiting patiently at HQ) and we tried some chicky on cheeky tuesday. We appreciated the portion of chippies but they were drier than the desert of the jacoran and appeared older than the ghosts of benjamin past. The chilli dip didn't pair nicely with the chippies which is always a warning sign. The burgies tasted kinda yum but a little dry and could've used a bit more slop. One of the friendjamin ordered salad with his chicky but it came with chippie instead and the extra bread and garlic dip were deemed useless. It almost made him ascend into the hall of shadows and scream with anger...We even ordered the burger that Tayta himself designed...The Friendjamin 3 had never met a chicken man like Tayta to be so cavalier with his reputation...

We have never been so thankful for a blocked sewer. Let me explain...we were going to a show at…read morethe Seymour Centre and were going to grab a bite to eat at a little hole in the wall place on City Road. But the sewers were blocked and had huge crews of people working on them. The smell was...interesting and not conducive to dining, so we retreated round the corner onto Glebe Point Road and found this place. We were in a hurry so didn't have time for a full meal but what we had was fantastic. Beautiful spicy sausages. Baked kibbeh. A sort of lamb ravioli with rice and an amazing goat yoghurt sauce. They had some beautiful looking desserts as well but we didn't have time. They also had a huge range of home made traditional pickles that I am dying to try. We will definitely have to go back for a more leisurely meal when we aren't rushing to be somewhere else.

I have come here three times now and have tried almost everything on the menu. The best dishes, in…read moremy opinion, are: DIPS - hoummos with lamb and pine nuts; yoghurt with cucumber (tzatziki) SALADS - fatoush; tabouli MAINS - lamb mansaf; shishbarak; chicken shawarma; samkeh-harra SIDES - potato coriander; falafel; kebeh (baked or fried) If you come in a large group, I'd recommend ordering a la carte rather than any of the banquets. A la carte will get you more food for the same amount of money, with a better variety of dishes. Service here is generally quite friendly, although the last time I came there was a minor hiccup with our bill. When I went to the front counter to pay, I pointed out to the owner that one of the dishes we'd ordered hadn't been served to us, and I requested that he remove it from the bill. He checked my story with our waitress, who insisted (rather aggressively, I thought) that she had brought the dish out. After the waitress was out of earshot, the owner told me he was 'in an uncomfortable situation' because the waitress (note: I call her a waitress because she served us our food, but she could have been a manager or co-owner) had 'been working at the restaurant for 20 years' and 'wouldn't lie'. I maintained that I wasn't lying either. To his credit, he accepted my story and removed the item from our bill.

If you drive, make you go early as it can be difficult to get a parking spot, though the owner informed us of a parking station across the road at a $10 flat rate. It is a great meet up spot for a quick bite to eat if seated at the train, or a dinner with friends near the airport. It is basically the concept of a sushi train, but serving Lebanese cuisine. There are plenty of options on the train, but you can also order hot foods from the grill. You can also have made to order. All seatings come with a basket of pita bread and crispy fried pita bread to be used with the dips. We tried all the dips on offer; including hummus 'lord of the chickpeas' (chickpea with tahini and garlic), baba ghannouj (smoked eggplant with tahini, garlic, and lemon), and labne (strained yoghurt with olive oil). They were all a nice consistency and very tasty. From the cold mezza plates, we tried the 'shanklish' which was a salad; seasoned and served with diced tomato as described by them 'the goods' and it certainly was. We also had the 'arnabeet' - fried cauliflower, always delicious, as was the Haloumi. You can't go wrong with fried anything. These were also a Vegan and Gluten free option. From the warm mezza plate options we tried the sambousek and kibbeh - minced beef in pastry shells with onion and lightly fried. My husband tasted the warn enab; similar to dolmades: vine leaves wrapped around rice, tomato, parsley. As great combination to try with the dips. There are numerous vegetarian and vegan options to try including the falafel (my personal favourite) as well as gluten free selections. From the grill, the Lebanese barbeque, this was cooked hot to serve. It included shwarma chicken served with garlic sauce which was a favourite of my husband. There was also shwarma lamb. The maanet were mini beef sausages, also very tasty. The Kafta was very nice - lamb mince with parsley, onion and garlic. There were more options; which made good accompiaments for the meat including the fattoush which is a tomato salad, tabouli and the kabees pickled vegetables. There are so many choices but we couldn't try them all - so full but my husband did make room for some sweets. He tried the baklava which was very tasty but his favourite was the knafeh - a semolina mixture with melted cheese, crushed pistachio drizzled with orange blossom syrup. A different version to the bearded brothers, but just as tasty. Because the dishes are small plates, it gives you the opportunity to try many things which is great. Will have to definitely come again sometime. There are a wide range of alcoholic choices; wine, beers and cocktails as well as soft drinks and juices. The owner and staff there were very informative and hospitable. He tells us that the food is just as good as his mothers, as many of his guests would agree. Just don't tell their mums ;) A great experience to dine here and we'll definitely be back for a revisit.

I drive up and down the main street past this place alot and only just noticed this place on…read morethursday night and looked it up and of course was very intrigued to give it a go :)!! So i loved the idea that that its sushi train but with Lebanese food :D!! Place wasn't so busy probably only cause not many people have found out about the place yet. They had heaps of dips, sweets and warm food circling around.. they had 5 different plate prices, dips being the cheapest and meat being the most to pay. Overall the dips, soft & crisp bread, falafel, some sweets and everything else apart from the meat was what was expected.. tasty :). The meat was not bad but not the best tasting. I guess when I've been to other Lebanese Restaurants like Jasmin or Al Aseel you compare every other Lebanese Restaurant to them.. Also when it came to ordering meat dishes of the menu or drinks it was only 1 girl taking those orders down for the whole place.. when you ask any of the other people running around they apologise and point to the 1 girl to ask her to take the order. All in all i loved the Lebanese Train Idea and the extremely friendly staff, I did leave with a full stomach & it ended up costing about the $50 mark or a bit more per person to be well fed.

With everything from street food-style pita pockets to gourmet sandwiches to heaving plates of dips, balls, breads and salads, I can't imagine anyone not finding something that grills their haloumi within these hallowed walls. As for me? I stuck with the street food style. My "Algerian" was roasted capsicum falafel balls, tabouli, green chilli, red chilli, chickpeas, eggplant, pickles, tahini & hummus.

It is a vegetarian platter but I think most of it is actually vegan so even better. Loved the hommous, potatoes, and fried cauliflower so, so much. Only fault is I wish they gave more of the cauliflower and perhaps took away from something else. It was a very small portion, probably only about 2 pieces from memory and it is one of my all time fav Lebanese dishes so I was a tad disappointed. But everything else more than enough made up for it, and I was actually really surprised with the falafel because I have had so many bad encounters with it I was just pretty sure I hated it, but here it was incredible! Like really really good. They also give you so much bread so you will definitely be full and satisfied by the end of it. Highly recommend this platter. The waratenib was alright, the lemon was very overpowering and hard to notice much else, but it wasn't too bad. Service was also incredibly lovely, so it really did make for an enjoyable meal and evening all around.
