New Star Kebab has to be the best place for a Lamb Kebab with The Lot and with Garlic Sauce. The classic late night lamb sandwich. Well worth the long bus and train trip. Always a very generous serving size. Don’t forget it’s cash only.

You cannot for wrong by coming here by any means! We went for the open halal buffet Sydney ramadan iftar and it was a fabulous experience. Every dish was so delicately made, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The setting and environment of the entire restaurant is very classy and stylish. I have also been during normal business (not open buffet) and the experience was just as good. Would absolutely recommend.

The name, which means ‘red fort’, and the red décor at this Pakistani-Indian restaurant from the Mughal tradition are inspired by it.

Customer’s Review:

We were happy when we walked in to a clean restraunt. When we tasted our food we were speechless. It’s the best tasting Indian food we have ever had. That’s why I gave it 5 stars. Honestly best Indian food and very welcoming restraunt. The only thing i have to add is that I recommend gloves to be worn by everyone that is handling food. It’s not a pretty sight when you see the waiter serving your food with an old bandaid.

This no-frills eatery serves a delicious and generous Persian dinner. To enjoy the well-known grilled Koobideh—a huge mince skewer or Barg–tender grilled lamb back strap served on fluffy white rice jewelled with tart barberries, go to Darband. Or, if you’re in the mood for something a little smokier, try the Baghali Polo – rice flecked with and dillbroad beans, lamb cooked with split peas and dried limes.

Key Differentiators:

• No-frills Persian eatery
• Generous portions
• Grilled Koobideh and Barg available

Customer’s Review:

The taste is super delicious, the portion is large and the rice portion is generous. The koobideh in the restaurant is especially delicious and must be ordered. Great Persian food, highly recommended Persian restaurant. The only downside is that the recent price hike has taken away the value.

El Jannah is Australia’s best charcoal chicken, with the name literally meaning “Heaven” in Arabic. This family-owned business has been serving up chickens for almost 20 years, and patrons from all around Sydney come back for its famed garlic sauce. Try the lamb shawarma, a pita bread wrap with pickled shredded lamb that is ideal for taking you to the streets of the Middle East.

Key Differentiators:

• Famed garlic sauce

Customer’s Review:

This is the best charcoal chicken I’ve ever had! The garlic sauce is out of this world, and the lamb shawarma is my new favorite thing. If you’re looking for a delicious and authentic Middle Eastern meal, look no further than El Jannah.

Crunchy green Egyptian felafels called taameyya, or the national dish, koshari, rice and lentils with thin wheat noodles, chickpeas, spiced salsa, and crispy fried onions on top are two examples of fast food in Egypt.
