Dined here last weekend and both my partner and i enjoyed our meal, everything was very fresh and tasty, the place has a nice ambience the service was good and the belly dancer was hot. We would both come back here.
We shared a few tasty authentic dishes with the octopus and the fried eggplant with yogurt sauce being highlights. Service was prompt and polite.
Almustafa is located on the bustling Glebe Point Road, just by the corner of Parramatta Road. It exudes a relaxed vibe with ample food offerings. The decor is simple, with a few Lebanese touches and plenty of space to choose from.
In terms of food there is a fair amount to choose from. Smaller dishes range from $14-$18 dollars and include the typical favourites such a falafel and vine leaves. I personally find choosing lots of smaller dishes the way to go. Mains range from $20-24 and are fairly generous. Almustafa also offer banquet options if you're finding it difficult to choose.
The food itself is simple and accessible. It's satisfying enough but there are better options available in Western Sydney. The service is friendly and warm, they leave you to your own devices until you need assistance. Overall it is a lovely albeit ever so slightly underwhelming experience.
Lebanese food belly dancer and nice friendly staff. I have had many private dinner events at AL Mustafa in Glebe. To be honest the food isn’t the best Lebanese or middle eastern food out there but is palatable. Like all the Glebe restaurants they modify their foods to cater to what they perceive as the areas demographic. They make the garlic sauce with less cloves the spicy fish with not enough chilli.
Low lighting is conducive to the ambiance, but not for those people that are trying the cuisine for the first time and not that sure about the food.
But is a nice spot as the atmosphere and the place is very welcoming and relaxing.
My favorites are the potato coriander, pickles the mixed shish, and of course its a place you can try the Lebanese Arak
I am normally not a big fan of banquets as you obviously pay a premium with them, but that night we were keen to try as many things on the menu and didn't really know where to begin with ordering so we just went for the banquet for $50pp...
She also shares my passion for the middle eastern cuisine and so we all went out to dinner at Al Mustafa's, one of my fav Lebanese restaurants!!
Great atmosphere and great food. The food here is really great Lebanese food. We have been coming here (usually after the movies at Broadway) for many years. Atmosphere is great - they have gone to a lot of trouble to give a total experience. We have never been disappointed with the food - our favourites are the dips, felafel, kebe, tabbouleh, fatoush salad, chicken skewers with the to die for garlic sauce, lamb casserole type dish. Yum!! Highly recommended.
I ordered tabbouleh and babeganous for starters and they were both very fresh and light. After deciding on Chicken Swarwarma and Lamb Mansaf for mains I couldn't have been happier. The Chicken was moist and flavoursome, while the lamb was the winner on the night. Very yummy
Good food. Good portions. Bad service on week nights :(
Oh my goodness, the food there was amazing, a little dark though. it was full of body full of flavour, it was filling and the service was great. we had the fish with some lebanese bread and beef... it was DELICIOUS. definitely going back there!
This place serves the best lebanese food! Get the banquet if in a group- we are regulars it is just so good!!
Busy, but reliably excellent. This place always seems to be packed, but the staff will try to fit you in, even if you turn up without a reservation, and it's worth the wait even if the service slows at peak times and due to the tight squeeze you get a belly dancer's belly in your face (though some might see this as a positive bonus). The food is always delicious: try the light, tasty tabouli salad, the delicious, juicy soujouk (lamb sausages) and the shishtawook (grilled chicken) with dynamite garlic dip on the side. The desserts look delicious and one day I'll have room to try one. Highly recommended.
Absolutely everything we ate was delicious, and we ate a lot! I would certainly recommend this place for the food, service & atmosphere! Try the vine leaves.
A great traditional lebanese experience! Had the sultan banquet - the food was delicious and plentiful - exactly how it should be. The staff were helpful and friendly. As a dancer myself, I can safely say that the belly dancers weren't very good but you can't complain about free entertainment! After giving my stomach some time to recover, I will definitely be returning!
Great stuff, no more words needed
Good food, service was ok on the friday night i went, but if you like your food without the ubiquitous bellydancers (i have nothing against them per se, but not while i'm eating), then pick a night other than fri or sat. The food is good enough without the dross.
Totally amazing. I loved this place. The quality of food, and the service are second to none!! The range of delicious servings is really fantastic. This spot is excellent for couples or large groups. Not all restaurants can cater to both types of client and do it very well. This restaurant is definitely got the walk in their talk.
Zahli Modern Middle Eastern restaurant has the best Middle Eastern food that I have ever eaten.All the ingredients were fresh. The food is so delicious. I especially loved all the different Lebanese dips and Lebanese salads. The lamb was the BEST I've ever eaten. Parking was no issue as the is plenty of off street parking spots. We were very impressed with the Covid rules that were in place. Well done Zahli.
The atmosphere was amazing. We were looking forward to having Lebanese sweets as they are our favourite.Next time for sure as we ate so much food and we were full. The staff were so nice and very patient. We will be definitely be going back and look forward to the next time.
I rate this restaurant 10 out of 10
BIG CALL I KNOW. TRUST ME.
Very good food, awesome service. Normally I don't order Lamb but because of someone recommends me to try, I ordered lamb with some other dishes recommended by their staff. Everything was so good, flavourful and most important freshness in every bite of food was just amazing. I Strongly recommend if someone wants to try some middle eastern cuisine 💯
Overall a good option! Friendly service and fresh food. Very tasty across most dishes but on the more pricy side. Staff was very attentive with water.
Great restaurant with street parking right outside the venue. Food was great and the service was outstanding. Not sure If it's wheelchair or pram accessible as I only saw stairs but perhaps call the restaurant and ask if they have an alternative entrance for that.
What an amazing experience. Food was absolutely divine. Great service by the owner and Denisa. Will come again if visiting Sydney.
I'm unable to describe how good everything we had there was! Full of flavour and perfect seasoned! Definitely going back there!!!
Could not fault our dining experience here! We had the labneh, fattoush, potatoes, mixed grill, chicken manaf and the kousa. Finished off with knafeh and rice pudding. Service was amazing, especially Adella who was extremely attentive and kind. The restaurant itself is lovely, with a great atmosphere. My daughter was so impressed she thanked the chef personally. Will definitely be back!
Great food. Staff very attentive and friendly. Nice background music. Loved the food. Good wine.
