Great service and great food thank you..
Love the kibbe!
Tiba's is an excellent venue. Very generous serves and truly authentic Lebanese cuisine prepared with passion.
Service is efficient and even when busy, turnaround time from kitchen is impressive.
Lamb cutlets are delicious.
One of my favourite restaurants Melbourne I've been too many times to count! Generous portions, affordable prices and quick service what's not to love.
Food: Tiba's has broadly Muslim clientele with a prayer room at the back so no alcoholic is served. Prices have increased recently with the sharwarma meal going from $16.80 to $19.80 and the mix grill from $24 to $29. Nevertheless, the massive portions (shareable between 2) and free bag of pit bread per table ensures Tiba's remains incredible value. Main meals are generously accompanied by a delicious salad, cucumber drip, hommos, pickles and rice. The meat is incredibly well seasoned and not overly dry or processed. Pastries aren't as generously portioned, though you can't complain for the price. The drinks menu is basic but has the usual coffee, tea and soft drinks.
Given the difficulty of parking on Sydney Road, Brunswick Station, the 19 Tram and bus stops are all nearby. While Tiba's looks straight out of the 1980s, who cares when the food is this good! I've never left unsatisfied and they are open daily for lunch and dinner.
Tried out Tiba on Lygon Street as we would usually visit the one on Sydmey Road. They have been around for awhile now and is known to many locals and regulars.
Their items are perfect for sharing and their mix grill platters are really good. It comes with the different dips, salad and rice. They do have pita bread on the table as well and it goes really well with the dips and salad. I really enjoy their rice and would usually order more to go with the meat and salad.
The meat is so tasty and nicely marinated and the kebabs are so good. The other dish that you do not want to miss is the fried cauliflower, it makes the perfect entree or side and it's really good.
The staff here is really friendly and attentive
This was our first time at Tiba’s on Lygon Street, we usually dine at Sydney Road one. The venue feels more spacious and brighter. The food is tastier and has great friendly customer service.
We had our go-to order:
-Mixed Grill comprising of Garden salad, Tabouli, Yogurt & Cucumber dip and hommos dip served with rice, Lamb and Chicken shawarma, Shish kafta, Lamb Cutlet and Sausage. Yoghurt cucumber dip was swapped out with babagnooj.
-Fried Kebbe
-Chips
Everything is delicious, the meats are well seasoned and juicy. Kebbe was packed with flavour and the tabouli is light and fresh. The mixed grill is large, but you are hungry and like a lot of meat, I'd recommend getting an extra meat dish. Bonus, we had complementary a basket of fresh and fried pita bread. To finish off we offered delicious tea that had a hint of cinnamon. This is a great place to dine with family and friends.
Finally tried the quail at our go to Lebanese restaurant, loved every bite, seasoned well and most importantly roasted just right! Kudos to the team at Tiba’s for the perfection they serve, please open a Tiba’s on the SE soon!
More restaurant like than the Sydney Rd version. All the same dishes. Lamb sharwama still the same and just as good. Plenty of seating even though Zomato wouldn’t let you book your preferred time. We wanted 7:30 but was only given 8. When we arrived there were only 2 other tables for the whole night. Went on Romantica Bar afterwards which was lovely for a drink as this place is alcohol free.
The place to go for a Lebanese feast. Simple, fresh ingredients and lots of it, accompanied with a basket of fresh and fried pita. We ordered far too much but they were only too happy to provide us with doggy bags.
A nice place with great customer service. We ordered about 12 different items. Stand out was Lebanese pizza, lamb cutlets and chicken swarma. The meat was cooked perfect, it was succulent and tender. But the best part of our experience was how attentive the customer service was. Probably one of the best.
Fabulous, just fabulous 👑 $64 for a family of 5 is cheap for a delicious, high quality gourmet! We ordered mixed grill, chicken shawarma and lamb shawarma (and hummus by mistake (the dishes all came with hummus), but we devoured it all as it's so delicious!).
Whilst enjoying the unique flavour of lamb and taboula salad, a lady came offering free 'seven tea' ~ the aroma was beautiful and it had a hint of cinnamon which we love ☕💕 I'm curious to know if the other branches have similar quality to this restaurant 🤩 Would love to come here again with my hungry family.
Went there for my 20th Birthday dinner
What can I say the waitress was so nice and let me modify the order
I got the mixed grill with substitutes , beware these meals are made for people with a massive appetite , one 24 dollar meal can easily be shared between 2 people.
Only thing I didn’t like and this is being super picky was that the staff are very casual and were wearing trackies !!
There was enough food for all of us to take home which was good! Try the falafels they are melt in your mouth amazing leaving you going back for seconds .... even thirds .
Definantly would recommend going
Thanks Tibas in Lygon for a great experience
Update Sept 2018: Tibas never let's us down. The servicing is great, the serving sizes are large and the flavours consistent. Love this place!
Tibas in Brunswick and Lygon are both excellent restaurant with consistently high quality dishes. Fresh toubouli and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Very generous serving sizes
Looking for some traditional lebanese food this is the place. Tasty dishes with lots of varieties amazing environment, staff is very responsive didn't had to wait too long for food after placing an order.

Great food and authentic atmosphere!!
This one is even nicer than the one at Sydney Road. The food is abundant, affordable and delicious. The service is friendly and efficient. Both thumbs up: we are loyal customers!
Generous portions, amazing authentic taste only downside could be too much fat dripping from shawarma.
Now my favourite place for Mediterranean food
Wonderful restaurant! Reasonably priced, great portions and delicious !
The Garlic dip is a MUST.
This is one of the best Lebanese I've tried. Staff are friendly, restaurant is clean and well laid out, menu is easy to understand. The mixed grill is so much value for $24, it's enough for 3 people! One of Lygon Street's best.
Honestly this is my favourite spot in Melbourne. I would go here everyday. These guys are humble but do everything well. Please keep doing what you are doing. The serving sizes are monstrous.
Falafel is to die for, huge chunks of goodness.
I don’t know which legend is making the dips but keep him/her on!
Did I mention the free bread? I miss Tiba’s
