We've been going to this iconic and somewhat eccentric Adelaide establishment since the early 1970's and apart from the slight rise in cost and a refreshed decor the owners and cook are the originals.
If you are after a quick, quirky, inexpensive and tasty meal then this is the place for you.
The usual range of Lebanese foods is available including hummous, tabbouleh, babaganoush, felafel, kibbeh, lamb/chicken kebabs and the ubiquitous pita bread. Specials are chalked on a board and include stuffed potatoes, beans with rice and cauliflower and cabbage concoctions.
The owners have also recently introduced a banquet special, that is pretty good value: so if you enjoy many of the dishes mentioned above, followed by some traditional Lebanese sweets, like bakalava and Turkish delight with Turkish coffee or sweet mint tea, go for it.
Once ordered however, don't expect a leisurely meal with the dishes arriving at intervals - everything will be served at once as shown right, and the table will be fairly crowded with dishes overlapping. This is the quirky bit, but don't despair as the food is delicious and the restaurant has maintained its high quality for over thirty years and the owners are friendly and helpful.Its also BYO, so if you bring a nice bottle of wine I suggest you also BYO your glasses, otherwise you'll be drinking from clear plastic beakers.
No waiting for the bill here either and you could eat satisfactorily for two people for about $50.
