About Tèta Mona restaurant

Tèta Mona serves generous Lebanese home cooking in Brunswick East, trading standard grill skewers for slow-simmered family recipes in a heated tented courtyard. Regulars fill the backyard tables with BYO bottles in tow, passing shared platters of Rez wa Djaj—spiced chicken tossed with rice and toasted almonds. Multi-course banquets handle large parties without friction, feeding coeliac, vegan, and meat-loving companions equally well across every course before winding down with trays of house desserts.

  • Heated Tented Courtyard: A covered backyard garden space equipped with heaters to host group banquets and milestone celebrations year-round.
  • Homestyle Levantine Recipes: Comforting family dishes like spiced Rez wa Djaj, Kafta W Batata, and Freekeh stand in place of standard kebab shop staples.
  • BYO & Dietary-Inclusive Feasts: Generous sharing menus effortlessly feed coeliac, vegan, and vegetarian guests with BYO drinks permitted for parties.

  • Authentic Homestyle Lebanese Cooking

    The kitchen prepares comforting homestyle Levantine recipes such as slow-cooked Rez wa Djaj and Kafta w Batata rather than typical commercial grill fare.

    Unlike your usual Middle Eastern restaurant of grilled meats and bread/dips... The dishes here are well presented, really fresh, delicious yet not overwhelming with flavours.
