About Tiba's Restaurant

Sydney Road’s high-energy institution feeds ravenous crowds with enormous Lebanese platters built to share. Longtime patrons treat the bustling dining room as an annual tradition during Ramadan, drawn by the loud hum of conversation and generous charcoal grills. Tables fill fast with mixed grill platters, baba ghanoush, tangy pickles, and bowls of potent garlic toum. A single plate easily feeds two, leaving plenty of leftovers wrapped for home. Weekend queues can spill out the door, though weekday lunches offer calmer seating and easy street parking. The alcohol-free hall accommodates large family feasts alongside an on-site prayer room, rounding out a classic Brunswick feast of skewered meats and crisp fried cauliflower.

  • Oversized sharing platters: Massive mixed grill spreads arrive piled high with skewers, dips, and warm pita, consistently yielding leftovers for two or more diners.
  • Faith-accommodating amenities: The bustling dining hall operates without alcohol and provides dedicated on-site prayer and ablution facilities for guests.
  • Signature house spreads: Fried cauliflower, smoky baba ghanoush, and punchy garlic toum anchor the table alongside tender charcoal-grilled meats.
  • High-energy community hall: A loud, communal buzz fills the dining room, drawing loyal community gatherings and especially lively crowds during Ramadan.

    Banquet sets and multi-course meat platters provide exceptional value, consistently leaving diners with bountiful takeaway meals.

    The food came out quickly, everything was delicious and we had so many leftovers we took them home for dinner.

  • Effortless Communal Group Gatherings

    Large communal tables easily handle group celebrations and farewell dinners, where expansive shared plates ensure everyone stays fed.

    Had a farewell dinner for a college here, and it was amazing! Amand, and the other staff, were so friendly and helpful, advising us that 4 of the Tibas share plates were all we needed

  • Dedicated Prayer and Ablution Facilities

    On-site prayer rooms and dedicated ablution areas provide seamless comfort for observant diners during their visit.

    It is a very famous place with a good variety of halal food. The place is very nice with a lot of indoor seating available. There are toilets, ablution area, and prayer room as well.

  • Alcohol-Free Atmosphere for Ramadan Traditions

    A committed alcohol-free operational policy pairs with communal dining to provide a trusted destination for faith-centered dinners and Ramadan traditions.

    Even though I've moved quite a distance away now, I still make it a point to make the trip down at least once every Ramadan. The atmosphere, the buzz, the sense of community, and the incredible food make it well worth the drive every single time.
