Other published opinions Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2007 Score: 12/20 "We love open kitchens. Fine aromas kick-start your palate and promise a true Lebanese experience in a chocolate- brown and grey-hued room that's both unpretentious and mod chic. Seating includes banquettes and a luxurious cushion corner among the alcoves secreting Lebanese artefacts - much more inviting than the large plasma screens, which on our visit repetitively played Lebanese travelogues with German subtitles." Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2006 "This sleek, discreet restaurant, bathed in muted chocolate browns and warm greys, has a classy fit-out, with banquettes, arabesque alcoves in the walls holding Middle Eastern paraphernalia and a gleaming open kitchen. It's all juxtaposed with giant plasma screens sporting cavorting arabesque pop idols." Sydney Eats 2006 "Situated at the quieter end ofthe strip, this large, ultra-modern and funky restaurant dishes up modern Lebanese fare with a great deal of flair." SMH 11/6/05 Joanna Savill "The kibbe and falafel are crunchy and light, with a whole cashew hiding inside each spiced meat torpedo. Older daughter discovers a new favourite for next time, digging a sizeable hole in the fattoush. The garlic chicken doesn't come with toum after all, so we have to order it separately (for $6), but it's as fluffy and garlicky as can be. Our kebabs are fat and juicy, the ladies' fingers are rich with molten cheese and even the Lebanese wedges are disturbingly more-ish. ... out of 10 - Food 8 This is good Lebanese. Atmosphere 7 A kinda cool space. Service 6 Sweet but slow attention. Value 6 Just above reasonable prices (with a few hidden extras)." |
