About Samalara Lebanese Bakery

Coolaroo regulars head here for oven-hot manoush baked on pillowy dough with a crisp bottom edge. Run by a family that treats multi-decade regulars like household kin, the counter pushes out savory breakfast staples at a clip.

  • Sam Special Manooch: The kitchen stuffs spiced lahmeh meat flatbreads with melted cheese for its signature specialty.
  • Spinach & Cheese Triangles: Tender dough triangles packed with savory greens and cheese remain a morning staple.
  • Cash or PayID Payment: The counter processes payment through cash or PayID instead of standard EFTPOS terminals.
