An Exceptional Dining Experience at Open Sesame Sydney! My recent dining experience at Open Sesame Sydney left me thoroughly impressed. From the exceptional service to the delectable food, every aspect of my visit was truly remarkable. With tantalizing flavors and an ambiance that transports you to the streets of the Middle East, Open Sesame is a must-visit for any food enthusiast.

Outstanding Service: The highlight of my visit was the exceptional service provided by the staff at Open Sesame. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The waitstaff were incredibly attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. Their knowledge of the menu was extensive, and they provided valuable recommendations that enhanced our dining experience.

Delightful Flavors: The food at Open Sesame Sydney is an explosion of taste and aroma. The Shawarma, in particular, was a standout dish. The tender meat combined with the expertly crafted spices created a flavor profile that was truly exceptional. Each bite was a symphony of savory goodness that left me craving for more. Additionally, the chips served alongside the Shawarma were perfectly crunchy, providing a delightful contrast in textures.

Bread and Dips: A Culinary Revelation: One aspect that sets Open Sesame apart from other dining establishments is the artistry and attention to detail put into their bread and dips. The Saj bread used for their Shawarma was unlike anything I had ever tasted before. Its soft, slightly chewy texture was a match made in culinary heaven. The way the bread melded with the flavors of the Shawarma was an absolute delight.

Furthermore, the dips accompanying the bread were made with a level of skill and creativity that elevated the entire dining experience. From the creamy hummus bursting with flavors of chickpeas and garlic to the tangy and refreshing baba ganouj, each dip showcased the true artistry of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Open Sesame Sydney exceeded all my expectations with its exceptional service and mouth-watering menu. The delicious Shawarma, perfectly crunchy chips, and the delectable Saj bread with its array of tantalizing dips make for an extraordinary culinary experience. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience that transports you to the heart of the Middle East, Open Sesame Sydney is the...

As tourist couple staying few days in The Rocks area in Sydney, you are quickly faced with the question on where to eat. Not that there is lack of options, many good restaurants exist. However after few meals you become tired of the lack of variety of non-meat options, and the mismatch between price and quality/quantity/service. Here comes to the rescue the Open Sesame. We discovered it early in our stay as it was very close to our hotel, and ended up dining there few other times after the tiredness came in. This tiny restaurant is certainly not be chosen for its appearance and ambience, but we found the food (variety, quality, quantity and price) excellent. Drinks were also very good, I only wish they would serve beer too. About service, at the Open Sesame we discovered that at lunch you must order your food at the counter, and pay for it, while at dinner a waiter will come to the table to get your order. We prefer when the order is at the table. Waiting time can vary depending on the number of patrons, as it seems every dish/drink is prepared...

Hi, I went there today and they have a decoration directly leveled with ur head when u sit. Their food was okay. however I will not go there or recommend anyone else to go there as I got really hard hit on my head with it. The decoration is extremely hazardous and shouldn’t have there in the first place. I told the waiter but he said “oh that one? we regularly get hit by that” - as if its supposed to be funny. I informed another person looking like a bit managerial position but he didn’t even think its a problem. They didn’t offer me ice for my head bump or any apologies. If it wasn’t enough - the girl waiter was constantly pressuring me and my friend to get up even though the whole place was vacant as if she was in a hurry. I still had 2 french fries in my plate when she was already standing beside us making us highly uncomfortable as if she is going to immediately to kick us out as soon I finish. Guys plzzzz don’t go here. They are overpriced anyways. Go somewhere better as there are several better ones with better...

If you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine paired with exceptional hospitality, Open Sesame is the perfect spot! The Baba Ghanoush was smokey and flavourful, the Falafel was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the Grilled Halloumi Cheese was seasoned to perfection. The Sambusiq was another highlight—so fresh and packed with flavour. Beyond the food, the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that truly elevated the dining experience. The hospitality felt as authentic as the dishes themselves, making the restaurant feel like a home away from home. I've enjoyed Lebanese food around the world, but this felt like sitting down to a meal lovingly prepared by a grandmother. Absolutely outstanding—highly recommend!

Shawarma seekers, this is the place for it. Beside many other things on the menu, the wraps are my favorite… I tried the Tawook wrap and it was fantastic, if you dont fancy garlic sauce, make sure you tell them. The Chicken Shawarma is my favorite, its just amazing with the very thin bread they use “Saj Bread” its crispy from the outside and juicy from the inside. We also ordered the lamb Shawarma, and apparently it turned to be even better. This place raises the bar on every visit. Not to forget, the staff are very friendly and warm, it feels like being invited to a family house. Last but not least, it opens until late, usually closes at 10PM 👌🏽 Finally, i also noticed its “Halal” if that is what you are looking for :)

The food at this restaurant is amazing, fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried was delicious and clearly made with care. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The service was also great. The food was served on time, and we never had to wait too long between courses. Everything was well-organised, and the whole dining experience felt smooth and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a good meal. Overall, it was a wonderful visit, and I’d happily go back again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty food and excellent service.
