Urban Bites

Walked past this Lebanese restaurant and decided to give it a try and was so glad we did. Despite the lunch hour crowd the service (staff and manager) was prompt and attentive. We sat outside so can’t comment on the ambience but the food was flavourful and really good. Portion size varies differently for everyone (individual preferences) and for us it was just the right amount. We will be back again to try other dishes and grab an indoor seating. Keep up the great work guys!

The place is awesome with good food and good ambience. When you step in the restaurant, with the music of Lebanese songs it makes me feel that I'm in Lebanon or any Arabic city. Staff were friendly and did gave me few suggestions on what to eat and what is the best Chef recommendations. Overall the place is awesome and amazing. Highly recommended for get together with peers and family.

The service I received here is fantastic. Jenzen, the manager, gave us real good food recommendations for our wines. He is knowledgeable about the food at the restaurant and also the wine pairing. Impressive! Hard to find a such nice guy who knows both food and wines so well. I also had a really good dessert - it is thick, fragrance for rose, just nice kind of sweetness. Good to go with Riesling. Spicy kebab - rich with a bit of herbal taste, perfect to go with a wine.

First time ever going to a Lebanese place and the dishes were amazing! We ordered the Fattoush salad which was nice and fresh. We also ordered the Moussaka which was an interesting chickpea gravy dish with some bread to accompany it. We also ordered the rakakat cheese rolls which had some thick creamy Lebanese cheese inside. We also ordered warak enab, a stuffed Vine leaf roll that had a nice sour taste to it and I also tried the ayran yogurt drink which reminded me a lot of Lassi. Finally, I got some pistachio baklava as dessert. All in all, a nice place to get your middle Eastern fix with some good ambience. The service staff felt slightly short-handed but they were pleasant and responsive.

We went here on a Friday night after looking up nearby places with good reviews, so were very hopeful for a good night out and an enjoyable meal. Unfortunately we were sorely disappointed. The service was not up to scratch. We had trouble flagging down waiters to take our orders, top up our water or get the bill. They didn’t appear under staffed, but the people on the floor seemed a bit oblivious? We ordered appetisers and a main to share. Our table was very small so it was a bit awkward when all the food came out at once rather than being staggered as the plates were quite large. We found everything extremely salty and in some cases inedibly sour (seemed like straight vinegar on the salad?). The bread, meatballs and kibbeh were also very dry and lacking flavour. 2 stars for the ambience and presentation of the food and diversity of selection in the menu. Although maybe don’t use the bathroom... it was really dirty (see photo).
