My friend and I popped into this place as we were craving middle eastern food and were greeted by a very friendly lady, who I presume was the owner. We got there pretty early and thought it would fill up as the night went on but most tables remained for the duration we were there (it was a Saturday night). We got the meat set and some beans and left very satisfied with our meal. Didn’t blow my mind but the quality was about on par with The Prophet which makes me wonder why that restaurant is always so busy. Prices were a little bit higher but the meals were perfect for sharing.
Super lovely. The owners are super lovely and the food was amazing. Went with a mixed group of vegans and non-vegans and everyone left very satisfied! Will come back when we can!

Lovely place, we went there last year for our anniversary. The ambiance is vibrant and relaxed. The food is full of flavour and as authentic as it can get, the portion sizes are generous. The owner himself takes your order and helps you navigate through the menu, he is prompt and a true professional. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to try authentic Middle Eastern food.
Absolutely superb food! Had the Maza for 2 (Meat) and my partner had a Lebanese coffee after the meal. The Maza was fantastic tasty treats and extremely tender meat. The experience itself was also cool. Sat in the traditional low seating and the Maza is served in many small dishes over three courses. By the time the third course came both of us were too full to eat any more. Took it home in a takeaway container. Just as good the next day 😊. The couple who run the place were the only staff (quiet night) and the service was more friendly than professional, like eating in their home. All for $20 each!
The owners here are a cute couple who are very welcoming. Have eaten here twice now and decided to return with a voucher. Both ordered the mixed bbq platter which was good but not amazing. The chicken and lamb were both cut quite small which made it dry unfortunately. The falafel also wasn't as good as I have tasted in other restaurants. Other than that was a nice meal and friendly service.
I've eaten at both the Prophet and Eli's tent, the only difference between the two restaurants that I can find is the size and the location, the food is authentic and fresh in both places. We can always get a table at Eli's and the owners provide a very warm welcome. The Meza for two is a great selection of dishes which are full of flavour. The decor might be a little dated and daggy but who cares, the food is what keeps us coming back time after time.
Every time I visit, they have provided very tasty and quality Lebanese food. They have very good vegetarian options and all of them taste super good. The owners are very nice and offer pleasing customer service. The food is worth the penny you spend and the quantities are quite filling.
Saturday nights they have belly dancing too!
The vibe of Elie's tent is very similar to some time I spent in the Middle East in the various desert tents; beautiful decor with low lying comfy couches and stunning rugs. Then comes the food, deliciously satisfying and authentic Lebanese food, and to top it off, Elie is such a knowledgeable and friendly man. Really enjoyed the meal, and the price point was perfect!
The couple (who I suppose are the owners) are incredibly warm and very hospitable. Definitely a plus for me because good customer service goes a long way.
The food tastes authentic and it was nice trying a different cuisine for a change. We had the barbecue platter- meat was tender and full of flavour. The kibbeh kraas was packed with ingredients and spices and lastly the shawarma dajaj reminded me of what I would have in a chicken kebab.
Admittedly we made it here as the first preference was booked out well in advance. Regardless it was still a good option and didn't disappoint.
Authentic home style food. Belly dancing was a twist.
