El Sweetie Granville — Restaurant in Sydney

Lebanese sweets are an exquisite culinary delight that deserves every bit of praise it receives. Bursting with flavors and textures, these delectable treats are a testament to Lebanon's rich gastronomic heritage and its love for indulgent desserts.

One cannot help but marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating Lebanese sweets. From the intricately layered pastries to the delicate hand-rolled dough, every bite is a symphony of taste and texture. The use of high-quality ingredients such as rose water, orange blossom water, pistachios, and honey adds an aromatic and flavorful dimension to these desserts, making them truly unique.

One iconic Lebanese sweet is baklava, a pastry made of thin layers of phyllo dough filled with a generous amount of crushed nuts and sweetened with honey or syrup. The delicate balance between the crispy layers and the rich nut filling is a sheer delight for the senses. Another crowd favorite is knafeh, a cheese-filled pastry soaked in sweet syrup and topped with a layer of crunchy semolina. The contrast between the soft cheese and the crispy semolina creates a mouthwatering experience that is hard to replicate.

Lebanese sweets also showcase a wide variety of flavors and textures. From the creamy richness of muhalabia (a milk-based pudding) to the airy lightness of maamoul (date-filled cookies), there is something to satisfy every palate. The use of floral essences like rose and orange blossom water adds a subtle yet distinct floral note that elevates the overall experience.

Beyond their delicious taste, Lebanese sweets are also a reflection of Lebanese hospitality and culture. They are often shared during celebrations and special occasions, symbolizing warmth, generosity, and togetherness. The art of making these sweets has been passed down through generations, preserving the traditions and heritage of Lebanon.

In conclusion, Lebanese sweets are a culinary treasure that deserves to be celebrated. Their intricate craftsmanship, unique flavors, and cultural significance make them a true delight for anyone fortunate enough to savor them. Whether you're indulging in a traditional baklava or exploring the diverse range of Lebanese pastries, each bite is an experience that will leave you...

Ordered a shisha, sheesha was ok quality in the smoking area. 20 minutes in i see a mother and her 2 year old being escorted to a table to my left and a high chair being provided to my surprise from the manager. Was a bit irritated as i continued smoking and the toddler inhaling the rooms smoke.

I came again few days later I ordered vine leaves stuffed with meat as clearly stated on their menu. The vine leaves had no meat!(canned aldi style) After i complained to the manager who escorted the high chair to the 2 year old few days before he told me that everyone knows vine leaves dont have meat! I apologised and told him i wasnt used to canned vine leaves rather arabic style vine leaves.

Since we had eaten most of the vine leaves on the plate it did not matter that whether they had meat or not, even though the menu clearly stated stuffed with meat. Rather than apologising for the menu error, he entered a primary school level argument where he stated that i am the first person since the menu launched that complained on their vine leaves having no meat, even though it being stated on the menu. Rather than apologise and follow up by upgrading the menu he was happy to degrade me over $12.50. I spent average 150$ an order at this restaurant so the disrespect recieved was quite a shock.

This joker managing the shop will bring this store down. It used to be a decent place food quality is down, customer service and respect for customers is lacking. I am sure there will plenty of other poor customer service reviews and experiences. New management likely required to keep this place in...

Very disappointed with the service provided tonight. The second we walked in, the waitress informed us that they would be closing at 10pm. It had only just hit 9pm. We told her we only wanted to order coffee and sweets and were not going to be long. We ordered 4 knafeh and 3 coffees. One of them being an almond latte. We ALSO asked for table water but were told if we wanted water, we would have to pay for bottled. That is actually illegal. It took roughly 15 mins to just get our coffee and when it came, what was meant to be an almond latte ended up being a caramel latte. We had kindly let the same waitress know that it was the wrong coffee and instead of saying sorry, she gave us a rude look and I had to ask her to please get the correct one. 5 mins later, another waitress had come up to us to confirm what had actually happened whilst the original waitress was standing a few tables back watching the conversation. We also still hadn’t received our knafeh… All in total, it took about 30-40 mins to get the knafeh and when we did, the waitress proceeded to inform us again that they were closing at 10pm… If it hadn’t taken so long, we would’ve been out a long time ago which seemed like the staff wanted anyway. Couldn’t even enjoy it and didn’t get to finish because we were so uncomfortable and felt rushed. As soon as we left, 2 waitresses followed us and shut the door. Honestly so shocking and will never go back...
