We got the least expensive banquet menu at $55/head. We were given: -Olives -Labne Balls with thyme -Hommus (could have used some more garlic) -Mushrooms with goats curd (amazing!) -Cauliflower and pomegranate salad (who knew cauliflower could taste nice, let along as delectable as this!) -Lamb Dumplings in labne (different but good!) -Baked sausages and eggs (meh) -Carob glazed beef cheek (weird sounding, but HOLY CR&P- has to be one of the best things I've ever tasted.) The dishes came very quickly together- they could have been 5 minutes of so further apart, but then the LAST dish, came about 25 minutes after the rest- which was irritating given that we had a table booked elsewhere for after. Staff were great. We had HEAPS of food intolerances at our table (lactose, gluten, onion, fructose), and they were careful to check what was an intolerance and what was an allergy and providing alternative dishes to those with problems. Will go back again, and most likely for one of the banquet options...

More like a 3.5 star?…read more Definitely make your bookings in advance, we came in on a Saturday night and it was packed! Had to wait 20 minutes at the bar which was fine. Their wine list was good. Food was good too - definitely on the more pricey side? Mains were all 32-36. This would've been a stellar 4 stars but for a packed venue, they were really sparse on staff. 2 guys and 1 girl, and one of the guys was the bartender so service was really behind! I usually wouldn't think anything of it since it's Sydney, but adding an extra person wouldn't have killed them. Worth a trip if you're craving Lebanese food!

While the outside area is hookah oriented, the indoor seating is vibrant and comfortable for a full and proper meal. We stopped in around 8 pm and proceeded to order a mix of items. To begin, we had the three dips (baba, hummus, roasted red pepper hummus) which was the perfect starter given how hungry we both were. Additionally, the V mango mojitos were the right balance and quenches our long walk induced thirst. The fried kibbeh were next, piping hot and delicious. For the entree portion, we shared the large and plentiful lamb shank tagine (broth was solid and the lamb shank was melt in your mouth good) and the chicken shish kebab (the sauce and marination was exceptional). Both were presented very nicely. The chicken was exceptional and the tagine was very flavorful. We ended the night wuite appropriately with some nice, piping hot tea. Overall, the meal was a very memorable part of my Sydney trip - definitely recommend the food, ambiance, and the smooth dinner experience.

Overall, great place to eat, although the service isn't very polite, and have a tendency to be a little impatient!

This seems to attract smokers, and I think there's a hookah going on sometimes too. The interior restaurant may suffer from this, however. As a rather self-righteous ex-smoker, this would drive me mad on any potential repeat visits, but I think there's interior courtyard seating too out the back, so maybe that would be an escape. Then again, maybe it would just be more smoking section... The service is pleasant and friendly, the waitress was happy to offer us explanations of their traditional Lebanese dishes and made some introductory suggestions, which I never mind at a new restaurant or new cuisine. I have had food like this before under other labels but the Lebanese spin seems to be unique added spices and ingredients, like pomegranate seeds in the side salad, and a distinctive pita-like bread with thinner texture but equally delicious and perfect for dipping. The kebabs were tender and the side dips were garlicky and yummy. All in all a cute new place which I recommend trying, especially since there's not many restaurants with similar Middle-eastern cuisine in the immediate vicinity.

A per usual we order more food then we needed but it was all so good. The hummus and chicken skewers were to die for! The food came out in a good flow and the table was cleared promptly, the staff were friendly. Although they are fully licensed 4 stars for not having a cocktail menu and when ordering getting a "oh that's complicated" laugh from staff.

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.

My husband had the free range eggs on toast and I had the eggs Benedict. His was delicious but the eggs Benedict was amazing. The crispy kale really sold me as it was delectable in each bite.

I also got to try the summer breeze watermelon salad. That was refreshing. It had a mix of greens, dressing, feta and a crisp prosciutto. I've never had prosciutto served fried; it was delicious. The whole piece married well, and I wish I knew the background of how it was created. I loved every bite! Although the place was crowded, it can still be intimate. Besides indoor seating, they also have a patio and seating outside.
