    This has to be one of the best Lebanese dining experiences in Sydney. The fit out and decor are really well done. All the food is fresh, authentic and with amazing flavours. The mixed dip platter and mansaf lamb are a must try. As are the spinach and chickpea kibbeh for something different. The whole family really enjoyed it. A bit pricier than your more basic Lebanese restaurant but the quality is there.

    I want to say something before I talk about food. This place is proud Lebanese authentic restaurant that has wonderful energy and fantastic vibe. It was a cold evening and the place was not packed which was nice. Our waiters so lovely friendly and down to earth. End Food, Food omg is really really Divine. Such wonderful Middle Eastern Extravaganza.

    Generous portions. Authentic flavors. I love both the dine in and take out experience, so satisfying and filling. Genuinely a true taste of Lebanon. The interior also disconnects you from the business of the surrounding area. Great effort on design and consistency. Service is great. Love leaving with a little something extra after a dine in in any of the branches! I could write an in depth review of the dishes I’ve tried but honestly it’s all really delicious and worth the dinner out.

    Having both my parents born in Lebanon, you can imagine the kind of food they prepare at home. It’s definitely an advantage but sometimes, I just love to go out for a Lebanese feast and Al Aseel in Greenacre, is one of the top two places I go to. The thing I love most about Lebanese food, is that it’s quick to prepare and it all comes out at once. It’s best enjoyed in groups, just so you can order a mix of everything. Banquet menus are very popular so be sure to enquire to get the best value. I think we did pretty good in ordering for two though! We started off with a couple of mocktails (no alcohol available unfortunately) but they were really delicious. We ordered a few mezza dishes which included some dips, a tabouli salad, some sausages, chicken wings and potatoes and then ordered kafta from the grill as it’s a nice and juicy meat skewer. ‘Kafta Mishwe’ Kafta skewers, garlic dip, onion & parsley mix. When ordering skewers, I usually order this because it’s such a juicy meat. It’s basically a beef meatball. I usually wrap a little in Lebanese breed and then dip it into hummus and oil. Bliss! ‘Sujuk’ Spiced sausages with lemon. These are the perfect little sausages with so much flavour. Squeeze a generous amount of lemon onto them and wrap into Lebanese bread. ‘Jawaneh Bi Kizbarah’ Fried chicken wings, coriander, garlic & lemon. This is my favourite, simply because of the garlic and lemon. The fried chicken wings are coated generously and it’s just so freakn’ delicious. ‘Dip Platter’ Hummus, baba ghanouj, labneh, beetroot dip, served with olives, zaartar kaak & bread. I mean, you can’t go wrong with some delicious dips and freshly fried, crispy Lebanese bread! ‘Batata Bi Kizbara’ Fried potato, coriander, garlic & mild chilli. I love potatoes when they’re prepared like this. The potatoes are crispy on the outside but fluffy and full on the inside. Perfect amount of garlic and chilli to finish. ‘Tabouli’ Parsley, tomato, onion, burghul, sweet pimento, olive oil & lemon dressing. My favourite salad overall. My favourite way to eat it, is by scooping some in a lettuce cup and eating it with my hands, just like San Choy Bow! If you’re looking for authentic Lebanese food, visit Al Aseel in Greenacre. Take your family, take your friends and make a night out of it!

    It's always a pleasure to enjoy Top Middle Eastern cuisine at Al Aseel.

  • 4/5 Boosh (The B. 3 months ago on Google • 338 reviews New
    Celebrating my wife's birthday at Al Alseel Greenarce was a culinary delight. The food, with its exceptional flavors, left us with satisfied, full bellies, and even some leftovers to savor later. However, the staff's demeanor was a bit lacking in hospitality, as the service felt bland and lacked the personal touch one might expect. Despite booking for a birthday celebration, there was no special acknowledgment, no cake, and no birthday wishes, leaving us feeling unnoticed/disappointed. The waitstaff could benefit from hospitality training to enhance the overall dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, with a rating of 7/10, though the tables being too close together affected the overall atmosphere - having been seated right next to a family with multiple children. With plates priced around $35-40 dollars pp, Al Alseel is a great choice for a meal, earning a solid 10/10 for food, but improvements in service and attention to special occasions could elevate the overall dining experience.

    This is 2 star not for the quality of food or sweets they offer but rude staff attitude towards customers, we went to this place in last week of April 2021 , just few days back and we were forced to leave the shop as they said we are running short of supplies and will close the shop though shop was full of items, they have delicious Arabic sweets and biscuits..if staff is friendly than this place if 5*...but still recommend for sweets and biscuits

    Brilliant restaurant right in the heart of Greenacre well worth recommending if you're after some Lebanese cuisine. Staff is very friendly and helpful in selecting recommendations. I tried the mixed plate and can guarantee that it's worth trying out, especially if you're with another person as it can be very filling and difficult to finish alone. They also have this middle eastern drink which is worth trying out. The name escapes me but it is on the menu. There are toilets and plenty of other dishes that are worth trying out. Wait times are reasonable and plenty of seating options to choose from. There is heaps of parking nearby and it is very recognisable if you're traveling far.

    I recently visited Al Aseel after hearing so many great things about it, and I have to say I was blown away by the food! The flavors were amazing and every dish was so well prepared. The waiters were very friendly and professional, and really made us feel welcome. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely and added to the overall experience. The only downside for me was that the prices were a bit expensive, but given the quality of the food and service, I do believe it was worth it. Overall, I would highly recommend Al Aseel to anyone looking for a great Lebanese dining experience. The food and service are absolutely flawless, and I can't wait to go back again.

    Authentic Lebanese dining experience with a great atmosphere and beautiful new fit out. I have been to this restaurant many times and it does not disappoint. The Batata bi Kizbara (fried potatoes) and Arnabeet (fried cauliflower)are a must try, so delicious. You can’t go wrong with the mixed Sambousek and a fresh fattoush salad. My go to for dinner is the mixed grill plate as you get to try the chicken, meat and kafta skewers with the delicious dips & tabouli on the side.

    Came from Melbourne, and this restaurant did not disappoint. Food was amazing quality with good size portions to fill you up. The service is great, the workers are very friendly and don’t make you wait long. The restaurant itself is beautiful, very large with a beautiful aesthetic made to make you feel welcomed. 10/10, definitely coming back again. Recommend to everyone, especially those craving delicious Lebanese food.

    It’s well worth the drive for some authentic flavorful Lebanese food and desserts. We had several of the classics and the roasted egg plant dish. 5 stars plus the desserts next door.

    Cannot go wrong with any items on the menu here. Everything was cooked well and delicious. If you're in the mood for Lebanese then look no further. The Staff were a bit inattentive to us after food was delivered. Would be good to follow up with dessert or tea suggestion and checking up on us so we don't have to wait for you to look in our direction to get attention. A raised hand rarely worked on two occasions 🖐️😅.

    A wonderful restaurant with amazing foods. Our food took more than half an hour to be served but they were all tasty and delicious. For someone who never had these kinds of foods, I’ll give this a 10 especially the lemon garlic chicken. One waiter, was not as approachable though 😢 but it was still a good experience ❤️

    Excellent ambience but the breakfast food lacks authenticity. Also the serving size is too small. Please be a bit generous in your servings of Fateh and foul hummus and Awarma egg. The presentation of Awarma egg was very unimpressive. The falafel presentation is excellent. The Manoosh mini platter was very hard and not up to standard at all. Hope Aseel brings some really Lebanese authenticity in their breakfast as I’m looking forward to it and to visit again once improved.

    We were visiting Sydney & were taken to this restaurant by our friends. What a great decision, great service fast & efficient. The food was amazing, delicious & lots of choices. We had the Feast plus some extra dishes to try. It did not disapoint, there was so much food, no one left hungry thats for sure. The garlic lemon chicken was beautiful. YUM! Will definitely come again when in Sydney.

    All the food was tasty. They have a good variety, large seating area that can accommodate a lot of customers. The ambience and cleanliness is excellent. Customer service is also worth mentioning. One con might be the price. Things are costly, even by fine dining standards.

    It was our last night in Sydney (27/12) and Ray from Burgertory Yagoona had suggested we visit Al Aseel Greenacre for a genuine Lebanese feast (we just can’t find it in Qld, happy to take suggestions). I’m so glad we went. The staff were super friendly, and helpful with menu suggestions. The food was so good. Full of flavour and the servings were generous. We tried the Lemon and Garlic Chicken and Sambousek (both varieties) as suggested by Ray as well as: Shish Barak, Haloumi, Shish Tawook, Skewer Medley, Chicken Shawarma and Fattoush! To drink we tried the Lemon Mint mocktail and the Lychee mocktail. Absolutely everything was mouthwateringly delicious. Fresh, generous, flavourful and satisfying. I would highly recommend a visit if you’re in Greenacre and you’re looking for an authentic Lebanese feast!

  • 4/5 Bui B. 1 year ago on Google
    The lamb and beef dishes were great. The salad was over "lemoned". Very sour. Got convinced to tried their Tiramisu, a bit bland. The sampler plate was the best. Friendly staff, but a bit disorganised. Keep on bringing next table orders to us...

  • 5/5 Richie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Outstanding falafel, stuffed vine leaves, and mixed plate. Our favourite in the area

  • 3/5 englishholic1 1 year ago on Google
    It was okay. Atmosphere was nice. Customer service was lovely and on point. Food was average. I really liked the flavour of the garlic lemon chicken but… it was lukewarm almost cold. Had this been hot, it would have been the star of the show! Thank you to the waiter who allowed us to try that garlic lemon chicken, with our meals. Great service!

    Nice place to have Lebananese food. I tried lamb rice and mixed plate. The meat is well cooked and tasty. The staff also friendly and the place also comfortable.

  • 4/5 Usman S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Ambience. The food is reliably fresh and tastey. Portion size is great. Good value for money. Service was great. We had "Rob" servicing us today. He was polite, proactive and under pressure as it looked like he was the only one on duty.

  • 5/5 erinxeats 2 years ago on Google
    lebanese mezze gives the ultimate gift of share-worthy food, and never fails🥰 i always return here for the lemon garlic chicken! a generous spread of dips, fried bread, juicy meats, and fresh veggies; honestly what more could you ask for? 🍽 every bite was flavourful and you always had the option of mixing and matching flavours! 💕 i wrapped succulent pieces of sausage and kafta in bread, and dipped those suckers in a mountain of hummus and toum 🤤 what an experience!

  • 5/5 Matthew Y. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite restaurants. I eat a lot of different cuisines, but getting a mixed plate from Al Aseel is up there with my all time favourites.

    Greenacre. We went as small family (2 adult and 2 kids) so not a big group. In very quiet times(1/3) or less of the restaurant was attended by other customers. All our 4 meals comes about 20-30 minutes apart we had to ask for ours drink more then ones. The kids finished their meals without drink. My meal was cold by the time my wife meal arrived. We told the staff we had a special family celebration and we came from far away. We couldn't take photos with our food together or celebrate our drinks . By the time our meals came the kids finished their so they were restless (and families with kids know what that means) So i guess we won't be going there again and my poor wife kept apologising for me and the kids because she made the choice and she really wanted us to celebrate there. So i guess i would like to THANK THE MANAGEMENT so much for rewound our celebrations
