Bankstown Lebanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Sydney

We started visiting this place back in 2016 and have been regulars ever since. The breakfast options are great, but the consistency in how they serve food is lacking. Sometimes the shawarma takeaway plate is missing pickles, other times it's missing bread, or even fries. I'm not sure why this keeps happening.

Another issue is the price hikes every couple of months. The lamb shawarma plate started at $15, but after gaining popularity, it gradually increased to $16, $17, $19, $20, and now it's $21. While $21 isn't outrageous, it's not exceptional either. For that price, you could go to Jasmine or other better Lebanese restaurants that offer a nicer atmosphere and more space.

Today, we got the chicken shawarma to go, and again, it was missing pickles. The chicken itself was average and only came with a side of tomato. I really hope they address these issues because at $21, there shouldn't be any room...

Falafel, kibbeh, hummus fatteh - all done well here for breakfast. Good textures in every bite. The menu currently says beef but the actual meat is lamb, I hope they fix that soon or it might discourage some from ordering. Service was a bit limited on my visit due to the person cooking also serving, hopefully they get a bit more help in to manage it so that he can concentrate on the excellent cooking. Venue is clean, there's a sink to wash your hands, chairs are sturdy, so the dining space is good even if the counter area seems to be a bit of a work in progress. Breakfast and lunch are seperate menus so be sure to have a peek at the menu photos posted, lunch seems to include shwarma and other skewered things, which I will one day come back...

We have been frequenting this quaint restaurant for about 13 years. Never fails to deliver on flavour and value. We arrived today, for the first time in a while and laughed that they had increased the price of a mixed plate, with bread , salad and garlic sauce to $16.50!! Can't believe these guys are still delivering great quality food at such a crazy low price! Don't pay $30 or more from fancier establishments... Lunch for 2 with a can of drink $18.50, with an extra basket of bread?!! Can't beat.... Go and enjoy it! Btw.....
