Finally checked out this cute and great cafe in the Heidelberg area!
First thing I noticed was how beautiful and inviting the interior is! Obsessed with the flower wall inside as I'm a huge fan of anything floral - its also perfect for photos.
Drink wise we ordered cappuccinos which are served in the cutest glass cups. For food we chose the vegan pancakes, nourish bowl and vegan shakshuka. My favourite was the nourish bowl as it was packed with heaps of veggies and we added halloumi as an extra which was the perfect addition. The vegan shakshuka was also yum, loved the side of bread and I got to try vegan cheese for the first time. The vegan pancakes were a great sweet treat and enjoyed how peanut butter and strawberries were in each layer.
The menu has a huge variety of dishes to choose from including vegan and gluten free options which is ideal for those with dietary requirements. Check this cafe out for a delicious brunch!!
beautiful cafe for breakfast lunch and dinner inspired by authentic Lebanese food located in Heidelberg, I absolutely loved it at Zeins! i loved the interior, very green and beautiful ambiance! the customer service was great, food came out quickly and the waitress helped to give us some recommendations which was really nice and helpful!
my friend and I enjoyed a beautiful breakfast spread with everything we ordered being gluten free! Zeins accommodates for all different intolerances and allergies which is fantastic!
we had the pancakes, the fritters and the breakfast board! i loved every dish, they were tasty and the portions are so generous. My favourite was the pancakes because they are gluten free and i can finally have some delicious gluten free pancakes when i go out because i usually can’t!
thank you Zeins for a wonderful experience, i will definitely come back again and again!
Invited for brekkie Zeins brings a Lebanese twist to classic cafe menu. Zeins have both indoor and outdoor seating for those sunny days. I ordered the vegan shashuka and it was one of the best shashuka I've had in Melbourne, definitely didn't miss the baked eggs in this. The classic chilli scramble dish had sujuk added for that Middle Eastern twist. The pancakes are a stunner and tasted great.
Overall a great cafe with a delicious Middle Eastern spin on many popular dishes.
Semi-hideen gem - One of the best restaurants in Banyule and some of the best Lebanese food in Melbourne.
Went to Zeins yesterday and ordered three incredible dishes being the gluten free pancakes, the Lebanese breakfast board and the fritters. I was blown away by the service and quality of food. It was my first time trying gluten free pancakes and I was surprised by how much I preferred it over normal pancakes! The food was cooked to perfection with immaculate presentation. The fritters were so crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Barista was so lovely and joyful, it was an amazing experience and would go again!
Zeins is a lovely cafe, beautiful interior and a comfortable outdoor sitting area too.
We started off with some coffees which were great! They were made perfectly and I loved the glasses they were served in.We shared the vegan shakshuka, hot cakes, chilli soujuk scramble and a salad. The dishes were presented beautifully and made with the freshest of ingredients. The portions were so big, you definitely won't leave feeling hungry!
Zeins is worth a visit, the menu here is really good with so many great options. Thank you for the invite we had a fab time
eins Authentic, a Lebanese inspired café and restaurant located in downtown Heidelberg.
We were so much looking forward to visit this café, with high expectation and did not disappoint.
We arrived early in Saturday's morning (we are early risers by the way) and were warmly greeted and seated.
We opted for their Salmon nourish bowl and gluten free vegan chocolate pancake
I love my pancake as it has slightly chewy texture and the vegan chocolate sauce lifts up the dish to a whole new level
Our salmon was grilled to perfection and we love the remaining elements came in the bowl such as baba ganoush and brocollini.
Our visit to Zeins is an amazing one.
The staff are very friendly at this cafe! Food was YUM and came pretty quickly. I asked for ONE extra piece of sourdough and instead was given a serving of toast off the menu which was annoying as I had to pay double. Keen to try their dinner menu! Overall a good brunch spot In Heidelberg!
Great place for catchups. Large selection of gluten-free and vegan friendly options on menu.
Staff were friendly and attentive.
Dishes were so pretty and delicious too! Serving sizes were generous and lovely plating.
All in all great place to try. Highly recommend!
So we have been searching for more vegan and gluten free friendly places to dine at as we have a few friends need dietary requirements. So happy to have found this amazing Cafe that hits all the right spots. Taste is amazing, presentation is on point and the customer service is fantastic! I'm looking forward to taking my gfs here to try the nourish bowl and a few of the other dishes!
One of the best lamb salad dishes I have ever had. Was shocked when it came out and even more when I tasted it. The humus around the bowl was fresh, the lamb beautifully cooked. The burgers that my friends had were loved as well. Highly recommend this gem.
I am so happy to spend my Sunday lunch with my friends in Zeins. A nice and quiet environment and tatsy dish of falafel and chips.
Every one in my group loved their food.
Staffs were super helpful and lovely.
Also the coffees were pretty good.
My partner and I went there the other night. The food was amazing, everything was cooked perfectly, everything had so much flavour to it but nothing overpowering, it was perfect. The dessert was delicious and the pomegranate drink I got was amazing. Customer service was also great, I’d highly recommend this place.
Best value seafood platter around. $42 for a massive platter - was shocked when it wasn't for two! Dips were rich, creamy and balanced. Bravo team. Service was personable but not pretentious. Hidden gem and very glad they take walk ins!

Located in Heidelberg, Zein’s Authentic offers an extensive all day menu with a Lebanese twist. Visiting for brunch we ordered the chilli soujuk scramble and the Zein’s pancakes along with tea, coffees and an OJ to drink.
The chilli soujuk scramble featuring stirred egg with soujuk, caramelised onion, coriander & chilli & potato with a side of tahini, tomato purée and tilma bread was unlike any chilli scramble I’ve had to date. I enjoyed the Lebanese touches, the sujuk and potato was delicious and the flavours of the dish worked together beautifully. The bread was lovely and soft and I liked that the sauces were served separately so you can add as little or as much as you’d like. This dish is on the filling side so it’s a good option if you’re very hungry or have a big appetite.
The Zein’s pancakes served with strawberries, pomegranate seeds, walnuts, peanut butter, organic caramel sauce, vegan chocolate sauce & coconut ice cream were beautifully presented. I liked that the pancakes were on the smaller side, I think it’s a good sized portion for one person without needing to share. The peanut butter and chocolate sauce were a great combo. I found the dish to be nicely balanced and I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet.
Overall I had a lovely experience at Zein’s Authentic. I really enjoyed the Lebanese twist on the brunch fare and I recommend you check them out if in the area. I rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Thanks very much for having me.
Tuck into a delicious Middle Eastern feast here, featuring dishes such lamb shank, lamb cutlets and falafels, and also sweet treats and pretty cocktails too. Flavours are bold and delicious, and execution is excellent. Open for breakfast all the way to dinner, you'll be assured of a fun and satisfying feast here.
Absolutely loved this place! There are so many options on the menu and such a great variety. All the food we got was full of flavour and very tasty. The fresh juices were delicious and a must have! There was great options for all dietary requirements!
Great ambience and service. Delicious breakfast options.
