If you like Lebanese food you should definitely give a try to this small restaurant in Surry Hills. They have a backyard, which is very pleasant when it is not too warm outside. I went them with my colleagues for our Christmas lunch and they have a banquet option for 20$ per persons. So I had an overview of a lot of their dishes and everything was so good. I loved the hummus and the baba ghanoush, we had as much bread as wanted so it was really hard to control myself. But when the fattoush salad (dressed with a pomegranate syrup) arrived I regrated because this meal is amazing and you want to save space in your stomach for this one. We tried their skewers and the meat is good quality too....
Jasmine's Review: I visited this cafe for their $20 lunchtime banquet special. It included refillable bread with dips, salad, falafel, chicken and kafta skewers, and chips. The falafel was flavorful and delicious, but my favorite was the juicy kafta. The garlic sauce was creamy and just the right amount of spice for me. Overall, the meal was well worth the $20 as everyone left full and satisfied with the variety offered in the banquet.
It’s such a casual-looking place, Lebanese food, set slightly back from the street, that I must have walked by it a hundred times and never tried it. My loss. We split a falafel salad, four yummy kibbehs, and some hummus with ground beef … and it was slightly too much food for us. And it was all pretty much absolutely delicious. Couldn’t fault anything about it. I even had to take some of the leftovers home (I hate wasting food!
In terms of middle eastern food its one of the best ive tried in Sydney because they dont over salt like many others. It is reasonably priced (cost us about $25 a head for group of 5 of us). It is relatively small so you may need to book on a fri or sat. I prefer sitting out in the back courtyard.

My experience at Zaida was defined by its rustic theme, cozy atmosphere with heaters, and delicious Lebanese Garlic Bread. The flavorful mezze and wraps added to the overall excellent dining experience. To discover more about my visit, please read below.
I recently ordered the mixed grill platter and really loved it.The lamb skewer and baba ghanoush in particular were very flavorful.The chicken kebabs were nice too but maybe a lil on the dry side.Overall great experience though on the pricey side.
Zaida is consistently amazing, hands down best Lebanese food in Sydney. Fattoush salad is out of this world and so is the fried cauliflower, falafel, lamb squewers and chicken. Great for a BYO night too or to take visitors.
the chips are amazing! its thin, crispy and full of flavor! Love the chicken wrap as well, it was well worth the long walk I made to get there and wouldn't mind doing it as often as I can :

Really enjoyed Zaida. The dips and bread were fresh and tasty. The Kafta meat was really tender and flavoursome. Baklava and Turkish delight were ace. Great service too. Highly recommend.
