Best Lebanese Restaurants in Watsonia

Lovely lively place. You will need to order a couple of things to make a meal so consider that when looking at the menu. The deserts are great too so maybe get a main and a desert. :)

What a find! It is not often that a cafe makes everything from scratch as so many cafes nowadays bring food in, and it’s all the same. This is a family run place and the food is brilliant. My grandmother used to make Kibbeh and these brought back so many memories. My girlfriends and I had various Mezze dishes to share followed with a couple of mains. The lamb in the Shish Kebab was cooked perfectly and so tasty. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on the baklava cheesecake. I’m still salivating. The host was delightful and answered all our many questions, and we are looking forward to coming back with friends. 

Amazing food and lovely ambience. The chicken and lamb hummus were delicious

We had not been at Ablas for at least 15 years. It was great then, it is great now! The food is lovely, the service was great and super attentive (thanks for squeezing the last kibbeh to our table!) The labneh and the chicken and rice were also to die for. Why inhibe world did we wait 15 years to come back? Hope this time around it won’t be more than 6 months.

The food was excellent. The chicken and lamb and the Fattoush salad were all absolutely delicious. They were able to cater for dietaries well. We sat at the hightop tables, but the staff left the door open all night so it was very cold. They also left an unsually big break between entrees and mains, and then rushed us at the end because of their next sitting. They could have managed that a little less abruptly. My only other comment too is that there is no toilet in the restaurant, and you have to exit the building and go through a loading bay to use the facilities, which takes away from the experience a little. Otherwise very good.
