My husband grew up in Detroit, Michigan, USA which has The largest Middle Eastern population,…read morespecifically Lebanese, outside of the Middle East. It was with him that I went to lunch a few days ago. We arrived just after noon on a Saturday and we're surprised to be the only patrons! We are seated, quickly given menus, water, and allowed adequate time to review the menu. Our server was the son of the proprietor and he was such a delight! You could tell how proud he is of his Lebanese heritage and regaled up with a few stories of Houda, his grandmother and the restaurant's namesake. In addition he helped guide some of our dining choices and we were not disappointed! Houda's serves up tasty, flavourful, and generous portions. We had so much food left over that we had another meal the next day!

Amazingly authentic Lebanese food, friendly staff and really nice restaurant. The only thing that…read morelet the place down was the speed of the service... The food wasn't too warm when it arrived at our table... Was really yummy though. The zaartar bread was to die for and the lahm (lamb on a stick) was yummmmm! Would have been a 5/5 if the food was hot! Great food tho would come back (hopefully next time the food comes out hot!) The atmosphere was nice too, they had Lebanese music playing in the background and it seemed like an environment that would be child friendly. Nice and quiet too so you can have a conversation without having to yell.

I have never loved a restaurant more then I love Sumac. The staff are just incredible and the food…read moreis on point. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it's never been too loud. I love the Zaatar Manoush they have there. I highly recommend Sumac.

Do you like value? Do you like amazing service? Do you like hummus? Well, you have come to the…read moreright place! Sumac delivers on all of the above. My Mother and I were in the neighbourhood and needed a feed. Yelp of course lead me to this fine family restaurant just off Goodwood road. Easily spotted with colourful signage on the road. Sumac staff are quiet, but are really friendly and welcoming. They are very happy to walk you through the menu if you are unsure of what items are. Some of them I had not heard of before. My Mum and I love to sample everything, and there isn't really much we don't like. So we of course went for the Shashlik Platter. It comes with three different styles of Shashlik, hummus, baba ganoush, home-made pickles, tabouli, salad with crispy pita, spiced rice and garlic sauce. All of that for $24.90! So awesome! We actually thought it would be smaller, so we ordered a plate of falafels as well. And yes, we definitely had stuff to take home. My fave on the platter was the hummus, pickles & chicken shashlik. All very flavoursome and well spiced. Wow, that garlic sauce is really intense, but also amazing on the pita bread. The falafels were fresh, but not as fluffy as I would have liked. They were full of fresh herbs though, so that made up for that! A huge menu to choose from, so be prepared to take a while to decide. You will really love this place!

Lawash Bakery is ok the food has that homely feel to it I would say same as if you were cooking…read morecharcoal at home. Don't expect and restaurant service and bell or whistles. The portions are small for the prices the upside is they open late while most places in the area are closed which is a bonus if your looking for something local. The menu is numbered in the type of dishes you require I selected number 1 on the menu four pieces of chicken skewers with nan bread and very little salad. If your not fussed trying something different give it a go for a late night feed.

I am not sure how Lawash Bakery & Kebab Shop flew under my radar for so long. I have driven past it…read moretoo many times to count. But, I guess the outside of the store never really tickled my fancy. It is definitely not flash looking inside or out. There are no fancy tables, crockery or cultery. This is just good food served straight up! Lawash Bakery is serving up some really decent Lebanese food. If you love grilled meats, bread and flavour, well you have come to the right place. There are a few vego items to choose from, but I think this is more of a meat eating destination. There are a lot of options for you to choose from. Many different styles of grill, bread and accompaniments. You can order large platters for the table to share as well. I went for the mixed grill, that way I get to try a couple of different styles. It was great! Full of flavour, spices, slightly salty and smoky. Everything you want in a kebab. It was served on some really fresh pita and a side of lettuce, tomato and onion. That way you can wrap it up if you like. There was a whole lot of garlic in that meat and sauce too. So, maybe bring some mints to freshen up afterwards. I really liked the service and value here. I might have liked a few choices of sauces to go with my meat. But, it was cooked well and tasted brilliant. This is the type of place you want to go to fill up before a night on the town. Note, if you need to go to the loo, the bathroom around the back of the shop. But, be warned, it is really ewwww...

I live in america and when in adelaide parwana has always been one of my first and favorite…read morestops. I feel they must have lost their chef as the whole meal was so below standard. Nothing on the menu was as it used to be. The standard classic dishes were a major disappointment,they were not nearly as delicious or tasty as they were. There were 3 dishes that we used to enjoy that were nothing like they used to be. Service was ok but this restaurant is absolutely relying on its past stellar reputation. We were so excited for our evening but sadly we were really disappointed and it kind really ruined my first night reunion.

OMG!! This place is AMAZING!!…read more I will admit, when friends of mine suggested we go to an Afgani Restaurant for dinner, I was a little apprehensive as to whether there would be anythign on the menu that i would actually eat. There were 7 people in our group, and there were 8 mains on the menu, so we pretty much ordered one of everything. And all of it was DELICIOUS! My personal favorites were the rose syrup drink that I had that tasted like liquid turkish delight, the eggplant dish (eggplants in an aromatic tomato sauce) and the lamb (melt in your mouth aromatically spiced lamb) Seriously, if you are looking for somewhere new to try, give this place a go. They have a BYO licence (so you can bring your own wine) and the service was EXCELLENT!! We had drinks, and LOTS of food, and some corkage and we shared a dessert and all up when we split the bill it worked out to $37 each. Very reasonable for the amount of food that we had and the quality of the food and the service. This place is a MUST try!!
