With everything from street food-style pita pockets to gourmet sandwiches to heaving plates of dips, balls, breads and salads, I can't imagine anyone not finding something that grills their haloumi within these hallowed walls. As for me? I stuck with the street food style. My "Algerian" was roasted capsicum falafel balls, tabouli, green chilli, red chilli, chickpeas, eggplant, pickles, tahini & hummus. AKA: yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Gimma a pita as big as a baseball mitt and jam that guy fill of golden falafels fresh from the deep-fryer, stuff it with all kindsa colourful pickles and creamy sauces, get a dirty great ladle and spoon in as much chilli sauce as it can hold before disintegrating in a spicy flood. Sabbaba has a veritable crap-ton of options to choose from, all named after different middle-eastern and Arabic countries. My go-to is the Algerian, jacked with harissa. Or hey, go off-piste and build your own.

The restaurant decor is beautiful and the crowd is a real mix, I saw couples having a romantic dinner, families and big groups all enjoying their meal. Tucked away near the Spit Bridge it features water views in an intimate atmosphere. The service is friendly, geniune and professional and they helpful with recommendations. The menu is concise but everything is done well. We had the crab felafel, chicken and leek croquettes, lamb kofta, halumi and rocket salad, paella, beef cheeks and he dessert tasting platter and could not find any fault. The food is authentic, fresh and delicious and the staff help pace the meal well. The beef was especially good, it cut like butter and featured a wine glaze, the rose water rice pudding was also a highlight. Afous is really an experience, the food is made fresh to order so enjoy some wine or a cocktail and soak in the atmosphere. Enjoyed both dinners and will be back soon!

A Fous replaces a long standing, but ultimately failed fish restaurant. That predates my…read moreexperience, and only know A Fous here on the end of the Spit - just before the bridge. Let's start with the owner: he is the most wonderful, gracious and hospitable host I've ever met. His opening line is "welcome to my home" and it's all good from there. Each time I've been here (3 times in all), I have just asked him to choose the dishes and keep them coming until we say "enough". Given this is a Moroccan tapas kind of place (whatever that is?), it's more "ca suffit" or "hallas" with my best French or Arabic accents, respectively. Food is varied and delicious and small enough so you can try many things. BYO and bring your good stuff to go with the meal. No corkage fee, and they will keep whatever you want chilled until you're ready to go. For example, one time we dropped off our wine and beer before heading out on a boat. They happily held it in their fridge for us until dinner. Last good thing is that A Fous is really not that expensive, especially if you bring your own beverages. All you can eat (see above!) was about $170 for 2 couples. That's first rate for an elite eat here in Mosman.

Over the past 8 months I've visited Sydney 4x and stay in CBD. Obviously there are numerous…read morerestaurants in the CBD but on my last night I wanted to experience a local neighborhood. After a few searches I decide upon Balmain, a suburb of Sydney, directly across the harbor. Balmain like most areas around the harbor have an interesting history - look it up. Back to the meal - the tenderest chicken kabob ever! So good, I decided to take the last portion back to my hotel. The appetizer- Arnabeet was fantastic. If you like this cuisine - make the short trip by land or water taxi. The only reason it's not 5 star - they served me Sprite instead of lemonade- forget that - 5 stars - I should have asked for another drink. I'll return for lunch in near future and take fotos when I have more ambient light. Kudos to the chef! March 2018, I came back for another wonderful meal and look, Kazbah was at the end of the rainbow!

The only thing that would've made it better was if either the pancake wasn't as thick or there was more maple syrup as the pancake was pretty dry.

So I don't know when I come back to this place? Definitely I will miss this place! The food was delicious and bomb and plus best service?? Omg best restaurant!!

Decided to try this place out as I walked past this restaurant…read more There are two seating choices: indoors or outdoors. At the time I was there, there was only one other person who sat indoors. The interior design of this restaurant is modern yet elegant - had some middle eastern touches on its design. Upon looking at the sample menu in the front, my eyesight glued upon chicken pilavs (Turkish style risotto) as it has cream sauce and was pan tossed with sliced mushrooms, cubed chickens and shallots. It was definitely tasty like what the menu described. It has lemony taste, the pilavs was soft yet chewy and the cream was in right proportion to linger the tastebuds. It was still hot when it was served and realized that just after I put a spoonful of it in the mouth. Tried the lemon lime bitters. It was actually soda with syrup. Was fizzy when it was served and you would need to stir the bottom to mix the beverage. Was pretty good as it has strong fruity taste that I yearn for. Overall, price wise it was pretty high for me but probably on the normal range for Australian market. The lady who served me was also cheerful and asked me how was the food. Seemed like many people had commented "loved it" that she wasn't responding to my comment. Will be back again if I'm craving for more risottos.

We ordered the Mediterranean breakfast which came with poached eggs with truffle oil on olive sourdough,served with char-grilled haloumi, crispy pancetta, semi-dried tomatoes, spinach & chorizo! Very delicious, I highly recommend. We also ordered the trio tasting plate so we could have a little bit of everything. My husband ordered the shakshouka (middle eastern breakfast) it was ok, we were expecting more from this dish, it was a bit bland. They offer some great coffee! If you're in the mood for some booze, they offer some great cocktails, beer, and wine. The staff are friendly and the place is always packed. I would recommend making a reso before you show up.

From GMOs to Obamacare to tax code to farm subsidies, we heard it all. And more. And you know what, it didn't even matter because I was in heaven. It wasn't just any lamb shank - it was hugged by prunes, red wine and cinnamon and served on a potato and white bean mash with lemon and herbs along with an apple and radish salad. Our salty companion blabbed on and on, getting angrier and angrier at our lack of notable reaction (other than wide eyes and guttural sounds of satisfaction) while we imperviously enjoyed our gorgeous meals. The delicious didn't quit and the grilled whiting fillet served over eggplant chackchouka was flavoured so perfectly I could not stop stuffing my face to mount any form of defense, which only intensified her tirade. Due to that, we had to cut out before dessert, but you'd better believe we'll be back for the apricot, walnuts and rose custard! We'll just choose to leave our "friend" at home next time.
