Sabbaby, baby, baby - these deep-fried balls are some of the best I've ever indulged in. The fact…read morethat I stuffed my face for under $10 was just an added bonus. 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. AKA: yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Gimma a pita as big as a baseball mitt and jam that guy fill of golden falafels fresh from the deep-fryer, stuff it with all kindsa colourful pickles and creamy sauces, get a dirty great ladle and spoon in as much chilli sauce as it can hold before disintegrating in a spicy flood. Sabbaba has a veritable crap-ton of options to choose from, all named after different middle-eastern and Arabic countries. My go-to is the Algerian, jacked with harissa. Or hey, go off-piste and build your own.

Went here on a Saturday night with the family for some beautiful Lebanese sweets after having a…read morebath in el jannah's garlic sauce minutes earlier. The atmosphere is nice, it is very much like what a sweets cafe looks like in Lebanon before all the craziness. It's clean spacious and will set out. How ever it does look a tiny bit like my living room furniture wise, but that just adds to the relaxed feel of the place where you can enjoy amazing Lebanese desserts and some of the best coffee that I have had in a long time. The service was fast and friendly with the waitresses joking around with us when trying to speak broken Arabic to them. They cleaned up nice and quick and were very polite and helpful in every other way. I would not hesitate going back, I would recommend to sit back relax and enjoy the desserts and coffee and even take some home with you. Lady's arm and sweet cheese are my favs. Steer away from the typical baklava that you're use to and try something new! It's all good!!

Over the past 8 months I've visited Sydney 4x and stay in CBD. Obviously there are numerous…read morerestaurants in the CBD but on my last night I wanted to experience a local neighborhood. After a few searches I decide upon Balmain, a suburb of Sydney, directly across the harbor. Balmain like most areas around the harbor have an interesting history - look it up. Back to the meal - the tenderest chicken kabob ever! So good, I decided to take the last portion back to my hotel. The appetizer- Arnabeet was fantastic. If you like this cuisine - make the short trip by land or water taxi. The only reason it's not 5 star - they served me Sprite instead of lemonade- forget that - 5 stars - I should have asked for another drink. I'll return for lunch in near future and take fotos when I have more ambient light. Kudos to the chef!

The restaurant decor is beautiful and the crowd is a real mix, I saw couples having a romantic dinner, families and big groups all enjoying their meal. Tucked away near the Spit Bridge it features water views in an intimate atmosphere. The service is friendly, geniune and professional and they helpful with recommendations. The menu is concise but everything is done well. We had the crab felafel, chicken and leek croquettes, lamb kofta, halumi and rocket salad, paella, beef cheeks and he dessert tasting platter and could not find any fault. The food is authentic, fresh and delicious and the staff help pace the meal well. The beef was especially good, it cut like butter and featured a wine glaze, the rose water rice pudding was also a highlight. Afous is really an experience, the food is made fresh to order so enjoy some wine or a cocktail and soak in the atmosphere. Enjoyed both dinners and will be back soon!

A Fous replaces a long standing, but ultimately failed fish restaurant. That predates my…read moreexperience, and only know A Fous here on the end of the Spit - just before the bridge. Let's start with the owner: he is the most wonderful, gracious and hospitable host I've ever met. His opening line is "welcome to my home" and it's all good from there. Each time I've been here (3 times in all), I have just asked him to choose the dishes and keep them coming until we say "enough". Given this is a Moroccan tapas kind of place (whatever that is?), it's more "ca suffit" or "hallas" with my best French or Arabic accents, respectively. Food is varied and delicious and small enough so you can try many things. BYO and bring your good stuff to go with the meal. No corkage fee, and they will keep whatever you want chilled until you're ready to go. For example, one time we dropped off our wine and beer before heading out on a boat. They happily held it in their fridge for us until dinner. Last good thing is that A Fous is really not that expensive, especially if you bring your own beverages. All you can eat (see above!) was about $170 for 2 couples. That's first rate for an elite eat here in Mosman.
