Loved the ambiance and food both. The best thing is that they had arranged for Namaz as well. However they should have served dessert with the iftar deal. Overall it was a good experience from the presentation of food to the taste and quantity.

We have been coming here for years, we loved the shisha and food. But this time was disappointing, we sat for 25mins (been ignored the whole time) for someone to come and take our order. Then we found out another 30mins later that she did not put in our order. Literally took 1hour15mins to get a bowl of chips (size of a palm that costs $14) and a plate of food. And for the entire 2 hours, charcoal was not replaced for our shisha. All the staff are young kids who are not allowed to take orders or miss orders. If the place is busy when you get here, be prepared this might happen to you…

I ordered a few dishes and tried them out, so in my opinion, they are completely test-less. I tried all three types of kebabs, but all of them were made so dry that it was not tasty at all. Normal kebabs should be a bit juicy.They were so overcooked that they were hard as wood.And the biggest thing is that everywhere you are allowed to smoke shisha, which was very surprising for me And most of their customers are families which mostly consisted of women and children.According to me this place is not very good for children.

Taste: 3.5/5 Portions: medium Price: $$ We ordered banquet option #1. The food was alright, not bad not great. Most of the meat was a dry and underseasoned. The rice was super oily and had no flavour at all. The salad was way too vinegar-y. The dips were good but also not flavourful enough. The chips were soggy.

The location is perfect, you have a great water view. There are a lot of options for food, desserts, etc. There is an outside seatings as well. Parking would be little bit far in docklands drive, you may pay if before 6:30 pm. It is worth visiting.

Wonderful experience. They have variety of options nice view if someone wanna watch sunset from sea.. I guess best place for date night 😜

Food was not bad. All the dishes Felt a bit sour(Vinegary)...not sure if it's just me or if that's what they are supposed to taste. But the location and views from the restaurant were amazing..

Lovely place to eat out...halal, great ambiance by the water front. Good food...whatever we've tried so far tastes great.

Cool relaxing place overlooking dock lands. Amazing view with both indoor and outdoor seating m. They serve authentic Lebanese cuisine along with various flavours of Seesha. U must try the Lebanese coffee and the grills. They are usually served with rice and salad. On top of that cool staff.

Great Lebanese food..love the spicy fish samke harra as I love spicy food. Great dining in for a lovely Thursday night. Nice halal restaurant for the Muslims out there who wants to dine in while enjoying the docklands pier

I think two stars is pretty fair rating. Food was a bit expensive but the taste was below average. Mixed dips wasn’t good. Friend seafood was tasteless. Chicken wings was alright. Service was good and quick. Ambiance was good. Stuff were friendly. I don’t think I will visit again.

Mate had his bday here First time going Nice view that was very nice and awesome food and shisha was soo smooth the atmosphere was amazing !

The food was delicious and served in a good amount of time. Great place if you enjoy shisha with dinner. If you don’t then you might want to consider somewhere else.

Almina is my go-to place when I want middle eastern food and beautiful views. The staff are friendly and the food comes promptly. I usually order their trio of dips, which come with unlimited Lebanese bread, and the Almina Mixed Plate, which comes with kofta, chicken, and beef, as well as more hummus, tzatziki, chips, and a bit of salad. This is usually plenty for two people. Note that Almina is a traditional middle eastern restaurant and, as such, it doesn’t serve alcohol. Their mocktails, however, are very nice. Prices are excellent and you’ll leave feeling happy and full.

Had Mix Veg platter, and it was ok. For meat lovers plenty of options. You won't be disappoint. Good service, polite staff.

Delicious food with amazing view overlooking the docks. The portion is quite generous. Lovely place to visit with friends & family to spend time.

authentic lebanese cuisine that i have tasted after ages….. coming from Dubai, i missed the authentic taste…. this place (Almina docklands, Melbourne) is even better than Jasmin back in Sydney… whatever we ordered was finger licking delicious ❤️ الحَمْد لله

Almina is a very good place to chill with some Shisha and food. The mains very really good, especially the chilli fish. Loved it. A must visit

Good ambience. The place looks clean. But little bit longger waiting the food. The price a bit expensive compare other restaurants. I think because of the location and the place. Worthed.. and its Halal

Amazing food..we opted for the three person package and it was sufficient for atleast four ppl. Will go again !!!

I always come to this restaurant with friends and family during weekends. Unfortunately the meat is always undercooked and taste fishy. The dessert was dry and shisha was burnt the moment it came to our table. We asked 6 times for a change of shisha but they refused to change. the men don’t have respect for ladies however the service girls were really nice. Sadly I decided to not come back. I spend my money and expect good service of food and shisha.

I liked the taste of the food a lot, the nostalgia hit me with the first bite, the staff are so nice and polite and they speak multiple languages The only thing that I hoped to see was the sea directly from where I was sitting, It was covered by the shades. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone who wants to have a great time

The order did not wait long. The food is very tasty. The atmosphere is pleasant. This was the second time in this restaurant.

A nice place in the docklands with Sheesha option. Quick service.

An excellent service, staff are always around with friendly communication and deal, food come within 5 mins although they have average number of consumers, I loved that tables are available without booking. Location is great and I was lucky to be in an outdoor table as I don't like music and prefer to be close to fresh air.. I chose vegetarian options and their staff helped me. Positively, the staff said the meat and chicken are halal. Food portions is good. I ate and took the remaining food with me. I requested a plastic container to take the remaining food and they gave it to me with plastic bag for free. Rice has a good taste nothing special with reasonable price for its amount. The vine leaves ( 5 ) are delicious and they are big in size. Each vine leave is equal to 2 or 3 pices in other restaurants. With nice presentation and reasonable price. Taboulai comes with generous amount as well but I didn't find the beans called ( burgal) with the ingredients. It is basic ingredient of Taboula and the other ingredients were cut soft and small. I didn't like it and it was expensive for no effort to make it well. Even though I feel it is worth to attend again and try another dishes.

This place is amazing. AMAZING. End of review. Haha Na but let’s start with food first The food is unbelievable. It’s so good I couldn’t stop eating even when I’m full. I literally had to be carried out by my friends. The piety sizes are huge and we even had enough left to take home. The chicken, the lamb, the rice and even the salad was unbelievably good. And now about the staff. I’ve never seen such friendly and caring staff in hospitality and that’s saying something coz I work in hospitality too. 1. To start with they advised us to get banquet for 3 instead of 4 (there were 4 of us) which was right coz portion sizes are huge. They could have easily made more money on the fourth person but they decided to be legit heroes and they have my respect for that 2. My friend order hot chocolate, which was good, but not to her liking and she was having a bad day. They took it back and didn’t charge us for the hot choc. 3. We were laughing and having fun and my friend was joking and told one of the staff she wants a free baklava. Guess what, she got a free baklava I’m telling you, this is the best spot in Melbourne and I’ll be coming back here every time I crave Lebanese. You guys just got a new loyal customer in me. Thank you so much for making our night out awesome. Ps. The girl who got free dessert was there in her birthday, but we didn’t tell staff that was a birthday party. You guys made her day!!!!

Basic food tbh nothing special Staff is quite friendly Tables and atmosphere looks like canteen. The only good thing is it is next to the docks so looks pretty but if your looking for good food. Nah.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! All of the bread that were served to us were moldy. It took awhile to get their attention to have a look at the bread and all they did was threw us another bag of bread. No explanation or apology was given. They didn’t fulfill our request on our food choices even though they said it was okay to. The meat were very dry. The chips came out cold and soggy. The portion was ridiculously small for how much it costs. Definitely would not go here ever again. Not worth the time or money.
