The waitress could have dealt nicer and more professional with the meal that was wrongly brought to one of our guests. Quite a noisy place in the evening but given there is plenty of space it didn't feel particularly intrusive. Food is exceptional.

Had a great time at Zahli for my birthday celebration! They added a birthday sparkler to the dessert. The service was excellent and the food came efficiently. Nice atmosphere as well on a weekday night.

The restaurant rang earlier in the day wanting to know how long we would be at the table so they could rebook the table. This did not make me feel valued as a customer. The food was ok, but had more sauce than i expected with Lebanese food

For an experience you will never forget, try Zahli and then catch a performance across the road at the Belvoir Street Theatre. The food, wine, and atmosphere was brilliant. A treat for all your senses!!!

Went for an early dinner before the theater 5pm , we were greeted and seated very closely to the only other couple in the entire place, After being seated and provided the menus we were greeted again within 2 mins and asked what we would like to order to which we asked for a few more minutes , this was followed by another greeting immediately and questioned as to what time we intended to vacate our seats? we had only been there 5 mins at this stage. I understand the need to squeeze in extra covers for profits however I had booked this table in advance and it felt like we were unwanted. We proceeded to order the largest banquet which was really lovely however i was unsure if they would get it out in time before we were asked to vacate our seats. Overall the food was amazing, service not so much.

Zahli banquet was impressive. Asked for a small bowl of their fabulous baba ganoush to have with the lamb & chicken skewers and this was too hard. Told at that time (end of the meal) that we should have ordered another bowl when the dips were served at the beginning.

Expensive for what we got: eg $9 for a side of rice, $26 for chicken skewers, $15 for very ordinary wine, served so cold you couldn’t taste it.

This is a slightly upmarket middle eastern restaurant. Good spacing between tables and some plush furnishings to keep the noise down. The waiting staff were friendly and professional. The food was as good as we have had in Sydney for this cuisine
