Love La Mono! I think each establishment is solid and consistent, no complaints here.
Amazing variations of Lebanese food, mixed up well with typical Aussie hangout culture! Truly a hidden wonder of Merrylands area... We ordered Monomix Barbecue palate comprising of Shish Kafta, Shish Tawook, Shish Kebab, served with Tabouli, Hommous, Garlic Dip, Vine Leaves, Sumbusik, Pickles & Lebanese Bread. It was greatly appreciated in a perfect afternoon date by my husband and me. The main course was followed by a yummy cup of exotic Mochachino and yummilacious Tiramisu cake.. The desert is surely a must try at La Mono...

✔️ Whenever we dine in big groups there usually is something that always goes wrong. However, we were impressed with our experience yesterday. All our food (which was a lot) came out within 15 minutes and we were impressed with the serving sizes. Their charcoal chicken is really good, way up there with El Jannah. The fattoush bowl is served in a fried bread bowl which was amazing. Oh and the hot chips are to die for. In regards to service, it was honestly incredible. The waiters were so attentive and polite with everything we asked for. One of the young waiters (I didn’t get his name) was so friendly and adorable, he kept coming up to check on us, and even gave us a few really nice compliments which was so cute 😂
❌ Most of the food was beautiful but the tabouli was saltless and the dips weren’t good, especially the hommus which was unauthentic. Also, the fruit cocktail we ordered at the end was a let down as they only had avocado but it’s supposed to be blended with other fruits (I know it sounds weird but trust me, you have to try one, there are surprises at the bottom)

Their charcoal chicken is definitely a juicy one, no other place tops La Mono. Their BBQ selections are tasty and their garlic sauce is by far the best that I've had compared to many other places. They are quite generous in their portions. If you want a tasty, value for money banquet service, definitely come to La Mono.
I have tried their chicken twice and it has been very good. The chicken is smoky, seasoned well and juicy. Breast can be a bit dry but it's not bad. Love their garlic sauce, very pungent and creamy. Chips were perfect and crispy and bread is good.
Their cauliflower is very yummy, a bit oily so share it with friends!
However, one down side was that the waitress was confusing us and confusing herself the whole time when she's taking our order, and we ended up with an extra side of chips and an extra serving of garlic sauce (that we didn't finish so we took it home).
La Mono is my go-to charcoal chicken place mainly because of its convenience of being quite close to me. While I can only see very minute differences between its competitors El Jannah and Hawa, I find that their chicken and chips are tastier and also have very cheap takeaway alternatives for the lazy nights. Excellent customer service, staff are always very nice and the food always comes out quickly!
Visited La Mono in March 2017 for the first time. Went there for Saturday lunch and ordered several dishes including marinated chicken and mini mono. All were great! Meat was tender and flavourful. I especially loved the 'crispy bowl' as pictured. Reminded me of deep fried wonton from Chinese Restaurant :)
Great customer service and food came out pretty quickly.
I love how this restaurant is a couple of streets away from me. Although El Jannah is my fave charcoal chicken place, La Mono is something special. They have great takeaway packs you can share with the family including perfectly seasoned chips (chicken salt helloooo), garlic sauce and tabouli. For those that are vegan/vegetarian, they also do a mean veggie platter. Comes with falafel, hummus, tabouli and more - it's amazing! (And super filling)
I've eaten at the restaurant a couple of times and it's a very chill environment. Family friendly and the staff are very approachable. A hidden gem in Merrylands and a restaurant I'll never stop eating at!
Amazing Lebanese food! My partner and I have tried many Lebanese restaurants around Sydney, but this one tops it off !! Great atmosphere, great service and even better food. Thank you la mono, I'll be back soon!
Great service and the food came out fast. It's a little more expensive compared to other charcoal chicken but very enjoyable. I got the half chicken with tabouli and hummus and it filled me pretty quickly. It's a better alternative to el jannahs if you're after something less saltier.
Really delicious chicken - you can definitely taste that it is free range, and it is definitely not dry but just a little bit on the smaller side for a whole chicken. Similarly the garlic that comes with it could’ve been a bit bigger for a whole chicken, we had to order a larger size. The chips and burgers were also delicious. We had a friendly waiter assist us too, which made the experience all the more.
Delicious food in a super relaxed and casual environment. The two skewer platter is great. You can get two skewers of the minced beef, cubed chicken or lamb. All skewers are cooked over coals which gives everything a great smoked flavour. The platter comes with dips and bread as well, so it's worth the $28. They have an ATM inside this store, but they take card payments too. Open late and they take bookings.
Lebanese food done to perfection. Large servings, fresh food and fair pricing. May not look the goods from the outside but let me tell you the food they dish up is to die for.
Quality Charcoal Chicken at a reasonable price! Very quick service and turn around time. Can get very busy during peak periods however staff are always friendly and accommodating. Top quality choice for both locals and visitors to the area.

The place is amazing, the most important thing that it's clean, the staff are amazing. They are like one family, they are fast, they don't take too long. My order only took like 10min to come, the staff they all know me and there greeting is amazing everytime I go the restaurant and very helpful. I highly recommend that place
Dined at the Merrylands site, service and food was quick and good. Chicken skewers and burger was worth it and cooked very nicely, chicken was nice and juicy unlike some other charcoal chicken places. You get a lot for what you pay for.
