Yalla Sawa — Restaurant in Sydney

My partner and I are Lebanese and have been searching for good Lebanese food around Sydney ever since we recently moved to Australia from Lebanon. We needed to satisfy our cravings and we haven't been able to find a restaurant that could match the flavours from Beirut. HOWEVER, let me tell you, Yalla Sawa did more than satisfy our cravings! Everything was amazing, from the food, to the Lebanese wine we had, to the service. My partner is a fan of babaghanoush and finding a fresh smokey babaghanoush (not from a can) was a dream come true for him and he ended up ordering another one. Every single dish was well thought through and the flavours blended really well together.

As someone not familiar with Lebanese food the menu was too minimalist for me. I had no idea what I was going to end up with, thankfully my husband knew. Meals were fairly priced. We were told they were good for sharing, but most serving still looks like for a single person unless ordering multiple items.

I enjoyed the salad and the octopus. We had a good time...

Walked in with no reservation to try our luck to hear the blues music. The team were so friendly and accomodating and we sat at the bar. What a great ambiance, menu and extensive wine list. We selected three dishes to share between two and they were delectable. I especially enjoyed the baked eggplant, my sister the kofta and cauliflower dish. Coupled with a passion fruit mocktail and lovely glass of Lebanese red wine. We left very satisfied. The place was flat out but they still managed to smile and create positive vibes. Bravo and we...
