About Middle Eastern Restaurant

Long-standing Sydney Road staple turning out honest Lebanese comfort with kitchen prep done right in plain sight. Unfussy tables, steady hospitality, and zero pretension set an easy rhythm. Regulars build meals around crisp falafel, fluffy pita, and creamy hummus alongside generous platters of spiced kafta and charred chicken shish. You can even grab tubs of raw falafel mix on the way out to fry up at home.

  • Open kitchen prep: Meals are prepared in full view of the dining room in a clean, straightforward space.
  • Take-home falafel mix: Tubs of uncooked falafel mix are available to take home for airfrying.
  • Generous share platters: Platters piled with kafta, chicken skewers, fresh salads, and dips cater comfortably to groups.

Before you head over

Practical tips on ordering, payments, and takeaways to ensure a smooth visit

  • Bring Cash for Payment

    Carrying cash can be advantageous when settling the bill, as reviewers note the venue prefers cash and charges less compared to other payment options.

  • Take Home Raw Falafel Mix

    Take advantage of the uncooked falafel mix sold in tubs so you can airfry and enjoy fresh, authentic falafel at home.

  • Order in Person Rather Than by Phone

    Reviewers note ordering over the phone can sometimes be tricky or misheard, so consider ordering in person where counter service and kitchen prep are in plain view.
