About Bekka

Bekka delivers generous Lebanese feasts built for sharing in Moonee Ponds, where smoky grilled meats and vibrant mezze anchor lively group gatherings. Tables fill fast with house-made dips, crisp fried cauliflower, and seasoned skewers, backed by warm hospitality from Richard and his crew. The kitchen sends out complimentary fresh and fried pita alongside marinated olives the minute you sit down. Groups often opt for the flexible banquet—allowing easy swaps across courses—before wrapping up with nutty baklava and fragrant rose-water lemonada.

  • Complimentary Table Starters: Fresh pita, fried pita crackers, and olives arrive at the table upon seating without extra charge.
  • Flexible Group Banquets: Generous multi-course feasts allow dish swaps to suit group tastes, moving smoothly from dips to grilled meats.
  • Attentive Hospitality: Warm, personal attention from the owner and staff anchors relaxed family celebrations and dinners.
