A lovely lebanese restaurant. Food is well presented and is tasty as you would expect from Lebanese food. They offer all the usual foods like tabouleh, hommos, falafel and kafta. I have had better leb food (but in Sydney.... I find no restaurant can replicate the flavours or either homemade or Sydney Leb food... but I'm a bot fussy with my leb food!)
Still w have taken many friends to Jasmina's and they have thoroughly enjoyed it.
My favourite dish was the mezza (you get a little bit of all the popular leb cuisine). Portions are not huge, but they are filling.Staff were very nice and the atmosphere is good.
Approximate cost: $20.00
I love this restaurant. All of the vegetarian & seafood dishes are fabulous (and I'm not a vegetarian... but love my veges!!!) My favourites are Special Fried Rice with Prawns and Vegetable Tofu Noodle Soup.
HAs a lovely inviting atmosphere, but can get quite busy as it's a popular place with the locals. I've never had to wait long for a seat and staff are very friendly. Food is great value and very fresh and tastey. Makes me want to go there today for lunch.... yummy!!!
Approximate cost: $10.00
Fabulous variety of fresh fish available - not like your average fish shop. From Cod to Sweetlip or Barra - everything is so delicious. Excellent fresh seafood, burgers, hot box treats. We have never been disappointed. Oil is always clean and everything is super Yummy!!!!!!!
What a little gem - selling frshly baked on site lebanese breads and pastries. Also selling an assortment of grocery products eg. olives; biscuits; turkish coffee; tahini and other exotic goodies. Open 7 days a week from 9am - 5pm. If you are after some pastries, I would recommend ordering in advance so you are not disappointed - these sell out quickly.
Approximate cost: $1 leb bread
If you have a darling cat as a part of family, this is the place for them when you go away on holidays. They only have CATS stay at their business, so your feline friend does not have to deal with dog noises in a strange place which would be very distressing.
A lovely homely environment is provided. Everything is very clean and the cats are treated lovingly. I'm sure my cat didn't want to come home, although he was happy to see us.
Approximate cost: $17/day
Great little shop for something different. Stocking a range of modest ethnic clothing, this may not be for everyones taste. Fabulous scarves in every colour of the rainbow - if you want to match an outfit, this is the place to go.
Recently under new Management, this shop has amazing BBQ chickens. This is the first time I have been able to find this type of chicken outside of Sydney (Lebanese areas).
They have BBQ flames to make delicious charcoal chicken - it is not burnt, but gets a lovely flavour to the chicken. Add to this the garlic dip and tabouli or tossed salad and chips and you are set for a feast.
For my family, this is a great takeaway meal without feeling like you are eating junky takeaway food - it is as good as homemade if not better (better becuase mum didn't have to cook).
We have eaten in and the atmosphere is nice but nothing special.
Staff are friendly and check that you happy with everything and ask if you need any more bread or dips.
Much nicer than other chicken takeaway.....
Stayed here a while ago nad it was a bit ordinary. My husband and I both commented that we were expecting something a bit posh for the price we paid, but we have more luxury at home.
The view was lovely and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
A little unknown gem. Making authentic individual lebanese pizza - you can get simple ones with cheese and olives or fancy ones with zaatar (special leb spices - be sure to give it a go).
All are made to order and the dough is made fresh on site. They also sell a nice selection of Lebanese sweets and groceries.
If it's summer time it can get a bit in the shop to eat in, as the oven is hot and the shop is quite small. But the food is delicious and easy to eat on the go in the car.... Trust me, you won't be able to make it home without digging into your bags to eat something.
Very cheap - from around $3.00 for plain cheese up to around $5or$6 for a gourmet pizza. These are very filling and I'd be surprised if you eat more than one and if you do, it's only because your eyes are bigger than your belly.... Sahtain (Leb version of Bon Apetite!!!!)
This is the poor cousin of the Elio's Carina restaurant. I'm not sure what happened here, but it is just lacking in my opinion. Yes the menu is virtually the same (if not identical), but it is not the same. I would not really want to eat in here, but at Carina, we ONLY eat in. The atmosphere is just NOT there at Underwood.
Staff are friendly and service is prompt, but I'd rather get home to eat my food.
