First off, I like this place and will return. There are some good dishes, some curious execution and well, less good dishes...no duds! I'd say that the barramundi is most likely the south Asian farmed kind...very nicely cooked with a good "harissa" (Lebanese version of course)...wild? Not so sure. The dips are all great with a well defined babaganoush, piquant labne, and a hummus that's as heavy on the Tahini as any I've ever had...its as rich as Elon. The bread is excellent. The felafel are crisp, but heavy as a wet track. The pickles are standard Auburn quality, neither better nor worse. The knefeh is stunning. The fermented cheese salad is a hard core salt and cheese experience, that needs to be teamed with tabouleh or fetoush aside to calm the welcome assault. The kofta are above average, the biwaz bread excellent though I'd like the garlic dip to be more punchy. The service is terrific and as homely as a lebanese village. I love Lebanon, and I love lebanese dining in Sydney. There's enough I like about dining here to return. Its no better or worse than the good standard set by Al aseel and others in Sydney. We're lucky to...

The grilled halloumi and chili potatoโs were quite pleasant and full of aromatic flavour. The cauliflower was a particular favorite of mine, as they were very crispy, slightly sweet and complimented with a tahini sauce.
For our main meal, we ordered the mixed grill; an assortment of lamb, chicken and beef kebabs arranged beautifully on the plate. Each kebab was tender and coated in flavourful, aromatic spices which perfectly paired with onion stuffed flatbreads, garlic and mouhamara dips.
Although stuffed, the high quality of our meal so far convinced us to try the rice pudding and pistachio ice cream from the dessert menu, both of which were...
