Service is friendly, room is small and loud, but the food is unbelievable. Best tabouleh and best felafel I’ve had, and the chicken livers are incredible. This is not pretentious fine dining, but honest food cooked with love. Try it - but be sure to book in advance.
been 10 famous Lebanese restaurants in melb but nothing was even half close to Prophet.
probably Prophet is the best Lebanese restaurant in Aus.
Also their vegetarian menu is amazing !
Came here for a late lunch. Staff were super friendly, food was delicious - I ordered Lentils & rice & Lebanese coffee. Came out served with Lebanese bread, dip, dill pickles. Great experience, can’t wait to bring my friends & family back.

Sensational dinner that totally lived up to all the positivity I had been hearing from friends.
Very laid back, homestyle ambience with no unnecessary frills and a comfortable nostalgic touch. The waitstaff were approachable, super friendly, down to earth and had a great sense of humour. They helped us order an exquisite set of plates: falafels, the mixed platter and the hot fish. The gravy on that hot fish was to die for (so badly want the recipe for this!), the fish was cooked perfectly and the chips were crispier and tastier than the usual. Beautifully cooked, moist meat skewers with great char on the outside, plus silky smooth hommus and delicious baba ganoush and tabouleh. Falafels were crisp and golden, and fluffy on the inside.
Dessert was also good - particularly the baklava which reached unholy levels of butteriness - all washed down with a great cup of lebanese coffee.
Cannot fault the food or the service at all ... however it is a little bit on the expensive side.
Absolutely no complaints at all about this place. The felafels were delicious and my main course was equally good. Massive serves which meant I easily got two complete meals from one order. Be careful not to over order - the serves are quite big. Delicious middle eastern food!
I must go back and try the meat platter.

Loving every bits of The Prophet, it is a tiny hidden gem in Victoria Park. This was my second time having an early dinner here at The Prophet after nearly 5 years. I didn’t make any reservation during my second visit, I went there as early as 6PM and that’s pretty much the best time to walk-in if you haven’t made any booking.
We ordered:
- Meat Mix Platter: it consists of chicken and lamb kebab, kale salad, hummus dip, flavourful Lebanese rice
If you’re a meat lover, do make sure to order the meat mix platter - the portion is really generous and you’ll get a basket of complimentary Lebanese bread once you’ve ordered your meal. I love adding the ingredients of the mix platter on top of my bread so it’ll look like some kind of wrap and of course you’ll even fall in love with the flavour once you’ve added a tiny amount of pickled cucumber with the dips.
I really wanted to order the Falafel, but, I knew it’d be way too much for two people. Therefore, the Falafel is on the top of my bucket list during my upcoming third visit.
What a fantastic restaurant this is. From the moment we were seated received great service started with a free pre-dinner entree of dip and bread, had a huge serving of lamb on a skewer for main dripping with butter (mmmmm) and tasty salad. Priced extremely well they welcome BYO. Check it out, but be sure to book first as they are always busy.
Delicious food, we were recommended to get the mixed meat platter, which was an excellent choice for the two of us. Food was tasty, meats were tender. We also ordered the falafels which my husband loves (he usually doesn't like falafels). Very crispy. Waitresses and owner were very friendly. Atmosphere is nice and cosy, a bit noisy due to the small space and full tables. Prices were reasonable. We would definitely come back.
Best. Falafels. Ever.
My friend and I stumbled across this place and decided to spontaneously dine here after not knowing where to eat and I’m so glad we did. The restaurant was warm and inviting and almost all of the tables were full (on a Tuesday night!) - we were told they were fully booked but we could sit outside if we’d like to and we happily took that offer.
We shared the vego mixed plate and the falafels and thoroughly enjoyed both. I thought that the mixed plate was a little pricey for the amount that you get ($28) but is a great option if you’re unsure about what to order and allows you to try a variety of yummy things.
Waitstaff were great, food came out super quick and even the owner came out to check on us - totally standby its popularity and the high zomato rating after coming here ☺️ 4.5 stars
Delicious middle eastern food at a cheap price. Ordered a variety of dishes, one being a shared platter with falafel, dips and pita and it was some of the best falafel I’ve ever tried. The only issue is it’s a small restaurant, so getting a table can be a challenge and it can get quite loud. Other than this, for top quality food, you should definitely give this place a go!
Can not believe it has taken me this long to get here!! Seriously good Lebanese food. VERY reasonably priced! We went the Meat Banquet and I would highly recommend it for a first time visit as you get to taste an amazing array of their delicious food!! Very generous serving sizes! We will be back for sure!!
Excellent food and service! The shish kebab (lamb), kafta (lamb), shish tawook (chicken) and falafel were so tasty. We ordered the meats and skewers individually as opposed to with chips and salads so we could sample a wider variety of meats - all served with a tzatziki sauce.
The shish tawook (chicken skewer) was so so so tender. I don't think I've ever had a more tender and juicy chicken skewer. The shish kebab was a little tougher but the flavours were very rich and good. The kafta was okay. The falafel was the best part of the meal. The hummus was a little pricey and not so worth it but it was nice too. I liked the complimentary bread and garlic dipping that came with our meal. Such generous portions too.
The waitstaff were very friendly and explained the menu quite well.
Overall, good experience and nice atmosphere and decor.
Amazing food once again! We did the set menu this time, we were not disappointed and had a heap of leftovers to take home for tomorrow. Great service too.
So good, I have been coming here for years and the food has been consistently amazing. Great staff and service, love the Lebanese bread. We got the mixed platter which had a wide variety of meat, rice and salad. The sauces were also really nice and rich with flavour. You could really taste the love in the dishes. Definitely returning again :)
A Five star Cafe with great value Lebanese food.
Excellent Shish Kebab. Fresh Chips
with a lovely Arabian style salad. The complementary hummus was a nice touch. The barbecued meat was delicious and tender. Authentic Lebanese ambience including, tasteful Arabic music and wooden tables. Ice cold water in jugs with glasses. Mine host checked around to make sure we were each enjoying our food. Perfect subdued lighting just like a Middle Eastern Cafe. Pleasant and simple decor. Could be in Damascus. The waitress was friendly and efficient too.
Fantastic service, great food. Please make sure to book a table because this place gets really busy at times.

Came to Perth a year ago from Syd, missing the nice Lebanese charcoal chicken with pickles, garlic sauce and chips you could find around Bankstown and other suburbs.
Having lunch at the prophet just gave me a whole new experience of the Lebanese cousin, nothing like what I have tasted before.
Very recommended.
The Food, Service and Price could not be faulted. Every single Dish was amazing! this is a must visit for Every Lebanese Food lover. Easily the best in Perth! Can't wait to get back there.
