Hannibal Lebanese in Surry Hills at the cross section of Elizabeth and Cleveland St. This place serves up quality Lebanese food at a reasonable price and big portions. This place is somewhat an institution in the area. They also have some great value banquet options and meal deals we smashed a vegetarian plate and a mixed grill and certainly didn't leave hungry. A great spot to get a good value Lebanese feed.
I have been going here for the last six months and have not once been able to fault it. The food is superb and I actively suggest this place to my friends. The manager is friendly and welcoming, and although the staff sometimes take a little while to flag down or seem not overly rushed, the eventual quality of the meal outshines any short delays. I would definitely recommend visiting in a sizeable group so you can have a little taste of everything. The food does feel a little pricey when there are just the two of us (getting hummus, a salad, and the chicken/lamb) but when split among a group of 4+ this place becomes the best cheap eat around.
Hannibal Lebanese Restaurant is fast becoming my favorite Lebanese joint in Surry Hills. Good food at good prices - this place serves delicious Potato and Corriander (squarely cut like dices marinated in spices), Fried Cauliflower, Garlic Bread with Zatar amongst many others.
Had heard about this restaurant because of the amazing food. We booked a private dining room as we had a group of us. The room we had was decorated completely from floor to ceiling, big arabian material tented the roof, decorative flags, big cushions to sit on the floor and dine Lebanese style. Fantastic atmosphere and great food, so authentic. Private dining rooms are the way to go. Food was non stop we had the mezze plates and everything was delicious. During the night, loud music started playing and we had our own private belly dancer perform for us for about 15 minutes, lots of fun. Will return again!
Perfect amount of food and royal treatment even visiting on A Groupon gift voucher. Good atmosphere and authentic feeling decor and music. Each dish was full of flavour and nothing was too spicy.
Will definitely return for more.
Best babaganoush. Smokey, creamy- the best.
Amazing atmosphere. Cushions on the floor, beautifully decorated and belly dancers on Friday and Saturday nights!
Hannibal is a beautifully decorated, cozy restaurant with very friendly service! The family recipes are divine and offer a wide range of striking flavours from the Middle East- this restaurant keeps me coming back to try everything on the menu! Hannibal's spectacular cushion rooms are perfect for group dinners and parties, offering a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. For a great night out with friends or family I would definitely recommend hannibal!
Second time at Hannibal's.... ... and we had a fantastic time once again: cushion room, belly dancer, very attentive and happy staff providing efficient and friendly service, tasty food AND plenty of it, too! Our overseas guests thoroughly enjoyed this experience. We will be back for sure.

The service was friendly. We went with the deluxe mazza which is a banquet. There was plenty of food, too much for us to finish. The three dips (yoghurt, humous, baba ganosh) were quite good. The lady fingers could have been a bit crisp on the outside, n they were a bit too sour for my liking. The fried cauliflower and eggplant were ok, those the cauliflower had been refried but the texture (little bit chewy). Then we got the green beans and rice, nothing spectacular. They had these potato nuggets things that were nice, kind of like croquettes. But then the food stopped. What about the kennel, Lebanese sausages and chicken. We realised that the waiter had mistaken our order for the vegetarian banquet but we were to full to raise our voices. All up for 2 was $67. The decor of the place is unique, with one room that is covered with rugs on the walls and you sit on cushions. A nice novelty, and really quite relaxing. Would recommend people to give it a go, but I won't be going back regularly, maybe just once in a while with a group of friend to make the most of the cushion room and the byo.

I had dinner at Almustafas recently with a friend (the last time I dined here was about 4-5 years ago) and the food was just as amazing as I remember... possibly even better. We had the banquet and every single dish had it's own unique and amazing flavour (the poached chicken dish with the almonds was to die for!) We had such a great night. I love those 'old favourite' restaurants that manage to maintain their consistency over the years. Highly recommended.
Not sure where the recent negative reviews came from. Have been here a few times now, and the good has always been very, very good, and the service friendly and helpful. On one visit, they brought out the meat platter before the entrees. They apologised and did not charge us for it, plus they brought a fresh platter out later. One of the good Lebanese places in Surry Hills.
We usually go to another Lebanese restaurant in this area however we decided to try this one out for something different. We had the $35 per head banquet which didn't disappoint. Plenty of tasty food and great service too. It's BYO and there is a bottle shop across the road. We'll definitely go there again.
Staff were friendly and let our group move into the function room as no one was using it that night. Food was good - I had the mixed grills platter which was delicious, however my friend who got the shawarma platter didn't enjoy it as much as the meat was a bit dry.
Came here for a work party. Lovely welcoming staff and exotic atmosphere with the draped rooms and Middle Eastern decor. Belly dancers are hired every Friday and Saturday night, so if you want a cultural experience, this place is it. Their service and hospitality was great. I had the Hannibal Banquet and the food was delicious. The baklava and turkish delight were divine and I am completely sold over the cinnamon tea, I've never tasted anything like it. Thanks Hannibal!
