Sesame n' Soul — Restaurant in Melbourne

Great lunch today at Sesame n Soul and the kaake didn’t disappoint! Having (me Ronny) been eating Lebanese for 7 years and Charlene being Lebanese we had a good idea, well her more than me, what good Lebanese baked goods and a bakery lunch should be like.

The kaake was great and probably up there with some of the great ones we have had. Freshly baked, warm and crunchy. Fillings were chicken and toum, and labne and veggies. And of course we topped it with some za’atar. The za’atar was particularly good. Serving size is filling, so come hungry. No complaints about these two, and next time we will get the dessert kaake with knafeh and syrup.

We got some coffee too, and the bloke knows how to make a good piccolo latte. Properly micro foamed and stretched milk, great coffee beans, silky smooth.

Service was great but it was quiet when we went (after the lunch rush hour). Atmosphere was fine too.

Overall a great spot for breakfast and lunch, the only downside are the items that are precooked and need to be reheated, but if you want some of the best kaake we have had be sure to check them out.

Edit: came back today for lunch again and the food was even better than before. The kaak was fresh out of the oven with fillings that were flavour packed. Highly recommend you check this place out if you’re after a Lebanese lunch. While we waited for our food we got served some freshly baked mini kaak to wet our appetites. Seriously such a great lunch feed. On the way out we bought a few bags of kaak for home to make our peanut butter and jam sandwiches,...

Lebanese cuisine is quickly becoming my favourite, and I’ve always wanted to try kaak, but it’s not as available here in Melbourne. So when I found that these guys do kaak as their speciality, I snuck out of work and took on a long tram ride to this cafe. The owners were kind and hospitable, the food came out promptly, and the portions were very generous (probably way too much for me, I did wish there was a smaller version) But most importantly, it tasted just as good as it sounded on the menu. I can’t wait to come back and try their other items, but I’ve still got a long list of Lebanese bakeries and cafes to...

Always great food, they cater for vegetarians The owner Milo is always welcoming and makes the number one best coffees. You feel the culture in this place, the aromas are hypnotic. The thyme and oregano, eating the Labneh (yoghurt) dip took me back to Lebanon This place is an icon in Lygon Street . Well done to you for such a great place where people can meet and eat good food Of course the Khaaki is what they are renowned for Thanks to you and your family for giving us Lygon Streeterers ...
