Mains were delicious, everything was great, but for improvements the lamb skewers were a bit tough and dry.
Dessert was wonderful, would definitely come again.
Using zomato gold made the meal very affordable.

I fortunately only found this place, thanks to Zomato Gold. I’m so glad that we did! The food was absolutely delicious. Such a good find!
🍴 Babaganoush
💬 Smoked to perfection. Absolutely delicious!
🍴 Chicken Skewers
💬 These were probably the only disappointment to the meal. They just weren’t anything special. Lacked flavour and were quite dry.
🍴Coussa
💬 This was the best surprise. Whilst they didn’t look very appealing... at all..
Once you cut into these, they were filled with delicious flavoured mince.

A culmination of lebanese fine dining. It transformrd my tongue into a magic carpet journey. All 3 wishes were fulfilled when i entered the magical world of Agraba. Adventurous tastes that showed me a whole new world. Homely atmosphere and a calm aesthetic that soothed my soul. Be still my beating heart.
A nice, homey sort of place that does solid Lebanese food with lots of vegetarian options. We ordered a selection of mezze to share - falafel, babaganoush with pita, chickory, roasted cauliflower etc - and everything was tasty. Desserts were fun too: spiked with orange blossom water and very satisfying.

Delightfully satisfying and comforting food! I personally loved the Batengan Bi Furn and Sameki Harra the most. Amazingly fried fish; crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside. The Batengan Bi Furn was a great tasting dish - mostly a vegetarian dish, but with a great mix of spices and flavours. Oh, and I fell in love with Knafeh! I would eat that over every other dessert I’ve tried so far!

🍷🍷We had bought a scoopon voucher🎟 $78 for 4 people at first we were a bit concerned that we were going to walk out with a empty stomach considering 4 people had to eat for $78 but it was FANTASTIC , great fast service and easy to talk. Very impressed. The food was genuinely middle eastern with a huge array of flavours.
Servings were generous.
We left feeling very satisfied.
A great first experience at Agraba🍷🍷
🍢🍢Once again what a BARGAIN $78 for 4ppl food , drinks & dessert .🍢🍢
Delicious authentic affordable Lebanese food! Great place for a midweek dinner, wine was nice, the mezze menu had a great variety, lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Fantastic atmosphere and attentive service.
I regularly order from Agraba. The chicken kebabs are particularly good, succulent and with lots of flavour. The rice and pasta they serve with it are also delicious, as is the Lebanese spiced sausage and the sambousik jibneh.
Classic Lebanese/middle Eastern dishes.
The crispy pita they brought out before the meals was awesome. Zataar spices with lemon tang as well.
Vines leaves were great. Eggplant was tasty.
Satisfying, but maybe not as good in comparison to other Middle Eastern I've had recently.
Service was temperamental. Bathrooms were quite average.
I love supporting Agraba, not only because they're a local business but they are lovely as well! They do the most amazing falafel wraps... the chicken is also just as good. The pita is melt in mouth fresh and the house made pickles are the best! Yum!
Four of us had a delicious dinner here last night. Amazing flavours, good service and reasonably priced. The pickled vegetables were disappointing but the panacotta dessert made up for it - best Ive ever tasted !
Agraba was an amazing dining experience. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was expectional. The service was 6 star and very friendly.
This little gem's menu goes beyond the humus and the falafels. I was especially delighted to see a number of vegeterian options on the menu. The food is simply scrumptious and very well prepared.
We were not very hungry so ordered a limited number of items-- fried haloumi, tabouli, humus, fried brocoli and cauliflower and tahini. Along side came warm bread.
We loved every dish and wanted to order even with our stomachs full.
Will definetly come back soon.
I was craving for a middle eastern food and i found this place here in Zomato. I agree with the majority of the review. Food are great and flavour some. The egg plant dip was spot on paired with generous serving of warm brea. The fatoush salad was fresh but serving could be bigger for the price we paid. my favorite dish was chicken skewers which was served rice. service was warm and attentive. The guy took his time to wxplain the menu and specials. Place is small and cosy. My husband said it is a bit pricey compare to other resto in Brunswick but i wouldn't mind paying extra for a nice place with great service.
The restaurant had such a lovely welcoming ambiance that we decided to give it a try, and we were not disappointed. Amazing food, made with obvious care and attention to detail. And the staff were just so lovely and attentive. The warm and relaxed atmosphere was the perfect setting to just sit back and enjoy some good company and great food. Thank you! And looking forward to coming back :)
I had a falafel wrap and some hummus dip, both were great, and the service was some of the best I've had in Australia. I would definitely recommend trying out what they have to offer
Yummy and authentic food at very reasonable prices. We tried several different mezze, including the haloumi, lamb, chicken and of course the hummus and all tasty. A relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff were the cherries on top of an overall great dinner experience. Look forward to going back.
Really loved this Mediterranean joint ! The ambience is great and my the food offerings are on par ! My personal favourites balaclava and falafel ! Also try out their chai ! I really love them ! The gripe, when the place is crowded, it really takes a very long time for you to get the food and once I got an undercooked falafel wrap ! Overall, a good restaurant
I came here with about 10 friends a couple of weeks ago for dinner on a Thursday night. At 7.30PM, it was quite full at this stage but the restaurant is relatively small in size.
Myself and three other friends shared four dishes among ourselves. As the menu uploaded on Zomato has changed,, I can't remember the actual names of the dishes. One was a dish with eggplant and chickpeas, the second was green beans, the third was stuffed zucchini and the other was arancini balls. Regardless of the names, they all tasted pretty good. The only downside was the fact that the servings weren't that big so in hindsight, we should have ordered more food for the four of us (it was 2 guys and 2 girls). In terms of pricing, you'd expect to pay around $20 per person if you're going for the sharing option and this is rather reasonable.
Overall, I rarely eat Lebanese food but this was definitely a highlight and I wouldn't mind trying this place again if I'm in the area.
Was surprised to be seated straight away after showing up without a booking after 7pm. Great food - loved the tapas sharing style. The flatbread was particularly good, Haloumi well cooked and the Shanklish amazing!
A little let down by the service who forgot a few things but other than that was a great night!

Agraba has a host of delicious Lebanese favorites all done extremely well. Left very satisfied and full as I couldn't stop picking at my plate and others. Recommend
I came here with my Mum when she visited recently and we had ourselves a little lunchtime feast! We had some baba ganoush, some kibbeh, fatoush salad and a wonderful fish dish, oh wow it was so flavoursome and perfectly cooked! Our eyes were definitely larger than our stomachs and the servings were very generous - we enjoyed grazing for quite a while though! The outdoor space is nice but I like the decor inside the restaurant, it felt like the sort of place it would be nice to go on a romantic date to share some dishes, so cosy.
We tried the limonata which is delicious in itself, it was like a freshly squeezed lemonade with a hint of rosewater - so refreshing! Service was great, the girl serving highly recommended the fish which we were umming and ahhing about, which ended up being the highlight! I look forward to bringing my fiance here so he can understand why I raved about it so much.
Nice casual restaurant. Lebanese food, but not what you will find at any other restaurant. They have traditional homemade food, we had the banquet as we were a large group & the items where very hit & miss. Some things I liked & others I was not a fan of as I just don't like things like eggplant, okra etc. so that comes down to my personal taste. Very generous servings & staff were great & very helpful.
This was a pleasant surprise. The fish in particular was wonderful. The service was excellent and the price reasonable. The menu is simple but has variety. You don't need the set menu.
Simply loved it!!!! Cozzy, small, great attetion, fresh food! Been to 2 lebanese in Melbourne! This is my first choice. Recomend it!!!!!! Go!
Went here for the first time last week and loved it. Food seemed really authentic and the Lebanese limonata I had was amazing! Nice atmosphere too.
Great, great service. Cute little place with an intimate atmosphere. Food was fresh, flavoursome and uncomplicated. Dips were divine, dessert was really, really good. I didn't think I was that hungry, until I started eating! A fresh mint tea instead of teabags would have made it absolutely perfect...
Delicious food, dismal service. Absolutely delicious food, the falafels alone are outstanding. The chicken is tender and the little plates of yummy things are delicious. Wash it down with delicious homemade slightly rose-flavoured lemonade and one of their cocktails. However the service is indifferent, they'd have sold more drinks to us if they'd been bothered to ask. Still, I will go back for more of those falafels....
I really enjoyed the food , it was authentic , fresh & very tasty. Staff friendly & helpful. Also they have some great Lebanese beers on their menu perfect with Mezze. Overall an enjoyable dinning experience.
Reliably good. We order takeaway from here every fortnight or so, so clearly we like what we're getting. Fresh, tasty, flavourful Lebanese standards that are consistently good. I couldn't disagree more with a previous reviewer who didn't like the eggplant dip (the baba ghanoush), I absolutely love it. That and the fattoush salad are my favourites.
OMG amazing! Best meal I've had this year.. Awesome service too. Thumbs up!
We had a banquet and the food was delicious! The meal definitely filled us up! Only problem was if you purchased each dish seperately you would've gotten more food for your money :/
Just average. We experienced an average night at Agraba. The dinner we had wasn't mind-blowing, but think this place has potential. The dips, rice and lamb we had were delicious but the tabbouleh was a let-down.
Ambience was confusing as the music system was blaring 1950s music, whilst they had a romantic setting interior, and eating Lebanese Mezze
I've never written a review on Urbanspoon before, but the food at Agraba warranted one! It was so beautiful and delicious, tasted just like my Tata's!! Highly recommend for home-style Lebanese.
Amazing!!!. Most amazing food I've eaten. Keep up the good work!
Really tasty and good value! A Nuce house red (I assume was from Lebanon) complimented beautifully. Very pleasant service and warm atmosphere as well. I'll be back!
Not what I expected. I wonder of the restaurant is named after the city in Aladdin?! Would make a sweet story. Anyway I ate here only by coincidence that I was in the area, not because it had been recommended to me but I certainly will recommend it to others. The food was authentic, exotic and exciting. We tried the Loubia, Arnabeet Meklieh, malfouf (amazing), Kafta Bi Tahini (lamb kafta burgers on rice with tahini and pinenuts. Delicious, everyone loved them. The Tabouli salad was very nice for a side also. Nice and cheap and easy to share around the table.
This place has excellent food and service, and is decidedly vegetarian friendly. The crumbed haloumi, shanklish and falafels are pretty wicked.
Edible, but not exciting. We had a few of the mezze plates which were more than edible but not really very good, tasty or that interesting.
Delicious, super tasty food, great service, a must-try. The cinnamon sausages are succulent and perfectly spiced. The fish dish is my dish of the year so far, rich, complex flavours coming together to make a whole even greater than its parts. The donuts are a very worthy way to end the meal.
My friends and I came upon this place by chance; we were going to the comics lounge and were running a bit late and ended up with only 45 minutes for dinner (for 5) so we walked in and explained our situation and asked if they thought it was going to possible for the food to come out in time for us to get to our show. They recommended the shared mezze which they started bringing out pretty much as soon as we sat down. The food was incredible; fresh and full of flavour. The shared mezze left us all full to the brim and at $35 a head it was a bargain. This place is a amazing, I will definitely seek it out next time I make the trip east to Melbourne town!
Love this place. Great mid eastern mezze with a casual laid back atmosphere. Staff are friendly and attentive. The falafel was superb as were the kibbeh meklieh and fattoush salad.
It's good to find a place to replicate the Lebanese home cooking experience I have so often enjoyed during my trips to Lebanon. Brings back fond memories.
Will be back. Terrific food, best falafels I've ever had. Speedy and friendly service. Reasonably priced to boot - I'll be back!
Excellent mezze, lots of amazing vegie options too. Great service
Great mezze menu! Food was excellently made and was served within ten minutes of ordering. The place is really comfortable to spend the night with, and the staff is very friendly.
Lovely. Unpretentious and tasty food, friendly service. Ordered the mezze banquet ($35/person) and thoroughly enjoyed it. A welcome addition to Errol st!
Nice!. Went here about a month ago after reading the positive reviews on this site. Wasn't disappointed - the place is cute and service wonderful and not at all pretentious. The food was delicious! Definitely rates against Melbournes other Middle Eastern eateries, although the only thing more I could have asked for was the option for a dinner banquet, which I always find nicer.
Owner is delightful and down to earth. Will definitely visit again!
Great lamb wrap was a tasty lunchtime meal. The large lunch plate was quite good too. Not the most atmospheric place but fine, honest fare and pleasant service.
This restaurant is a quaint and delicious! The pace is relaxed and food very well cooked. Perfect comfort food on a rainy day.
A lovely Sunday lunch. Great simple food, good serve sizes, lovely service and a surprising good wine list. This is one local spot that we will be coming back to.
Lovely light and delicious. limited menu, but good enough for quick satisfying meal.
Loved it!. Great lunch experiance, simple menu incrediable flavors. I had the lunch plate, really good way of sampling a little of everything - salad, lamb skewer, the best falafel I've had in a long time. My friend had lamb skewers on rice, and it even came with taboulli.
I will be back with bells on!
