A wonderful range of Syrian food, The flavours are well exectuted and the dishes are fresh and clean. The wine selection is wonderful and the staff and owner are friendly. I would recommend the capsicum dip, eggplant and Chicken shish as my top three although the others are also very good. 10/10
One of our go to place for authentic Syrian food. Menu is well thought out. Service is always top notch!
The Tuesday platters are amazing and are definitely a must try !! The only downfall for me would be the dessert however, they use to make an amazing pistachio ice cream which was very good.
Staff is very attentive , food served promptly.
Chicken dish is highly recommended . Saving room for the cream brulee 👍🏻
Don’t forget to book , this restaurant is always packed !
This restaurant is absolutely one of the BEST Middle Eastern restaurants in Wellington. The food is ALWAYS amazing, tasty, and perfectly cooked. Never had anything that I haven't liked! The staff is friendly and welcoming. They are very knowledgeable about the food and make excellent recommendations. We've brought as many of our friends here as we can because we just LOVE this place so much.
Went down there on a Tuesday night and was surprised to see how busy the place was which we took it as a sign as how popular the place is. We took seats outside and were lucky enough to enjoy one of the wellington's calm and warm nights. The service was great and the food came out promptly. we ordered range of meezes both cold and warm. Hummus with meat, fried cauliflower and the potatoes were the standout meezes. We also shared some of the grill, the lamb was tender and juicy and the chicken was moist and delicious. Was a fantastic meal and would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try authentic levantine cuisine.
The great reviews and recommendation in the Kia Ora magazine definitely hold true- very yum food. Great to read about the last remaining Syrian wine producer. Only 15 tables so you need to book and pay a deposit. Worth it!
We nabbed a last minute booking and were seated at the bar, it did not disappoint! The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and the food was incredible. We opted for the banquet and every plate was delicious. We will definitely be back!
Getting straight to the point, it’s good. The meat was tender and beautifully cooked. The hummus and salads were tasty. It all came v quickly and was delivered with a smile. At the time of writing it didn’t have it’s alcohol license. That wasn’t a problem. We ordered seven dishes for four people, an eighth Would’ve disappeared too. Recommended.
Delicious food, every dish was full of flavour, good and quick service, friendly staff, and a really nice place to share a meal. Have been there twice for lunch now. Can't wait to try more from the menu. The only little down side was, some of the dishes were smaller in size. But, the other time I went with a couple of friends. We paid $20 each, for a shared lunch and all of us were reasonably full and really happy with everything we tried. Definitely going back to try other dishes on the menu.
We had a slight hiccup with the booking when I had increased our seats after making the booking online via phone but it wasn't registered. Apart from this, our group were in awe of the food, the flavours, even though were are all big meat eaters but we didn't mind the lack of meat dishes.
We ordered all of the hot dishes and all of the grill dishes, and we highly recommend the lamb and the eggplant from the Grill section! Personally I absolutely can't stand lamb due to its distinct smell but I was blown away by the juiciness, the softness, tenderness and the lack of smell from their lamb it was just the talk of the table and long after! The eggplant dish was equally amazing and every piece of vegetable on that plate was flavoured to perfection. Special notes were made of their desserts (we tried them all) and shouldn't be missed. To top this off, the staff at the till was extremely patient with us with our complicated payment scheme and he needed to be applauded!
