Came access this place while traveling through Sydney today. The man who served me was so attentive and kind. And the food was incredible!! Chicken shawarma and a fatoosh salad was unbelievable and so much flavour. Great generous portion size. Would absolutely recommend. More businesses should have the same hospitality and I received today. Thank you!

Fresh and tasty Middle Eastern food (the side dips were amazing too). Well priced for City location (I had the mixed grill for $32). Friendly customer service.

This is seriously some of the best food I have had in a while. The chicken was sensational, really well balanced and delicious. It came with beautiful bread and dips!! All were tasty. The salad and side of haloumi was great quality too! Highly recommend.

Watch out for this place!!!! The food!!!! Ooohhh!!! It was sooo good!!! We shared the BBQ plate and it was so good and perfect for 2 for lunch. Wow. Delicious, intense and unique flavors, grilled to perfection trio of meats and a wonderful lemony salad. I'm coming back. Just one thing. It is not fast food. It is sit down and wait a few minutes because your food is being prepared fresh and it will be delicious!!

Very fresh, very tasty. The hummus is smooth and silky with a great taste and the fatoush is delicious. Chicken shawarma is pretty good.

Tried the BBQ meat platter and it was really good. The lamb was surprisingly delicious even for someone who normally does not eat lamb. The waiter was friendly and the service was very good. Will definitely come back.

You’ll find this tucked in Sydney Place, off Pitt Street and I appreciated the table service. I had the Haloumi salad which I think is the best salad I’ve ever eaten (which is a big call)! Hubby had the lamb kebab and although seemed to take ages to arrive (they did apologise for the wait) but he said it was great. Others food around us that was served all looked so fresh and delicious.

Amazing food. They made me a customised falafel+chicken shawarma wrap on my request. The chicken and falafel were so flavourful and the toum was authentic and perfect. And the size of the shawarma wrap was HUGE! (I already took like 5-6 massive bites before taking the pic lmao)

On my three-day trip to Sydney, I discovered this exceptional restaurant on my first evening. The food was exceptional, with delicious flavours and generous portions. The staff were also exceptionally polite and welcoming. I highly recommend this establishment and visited it again on my third night. Thank you for 2 great evenings of dining see you on our next visit to Sydney
