Take a sensory journey to the Middle East at the suave Zahli Restaurant, nestled into Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills. Adopting both name and vibrant culture of an area in Lebanon, Zahli radiates the energy of rich traditions and shares the custom of mezza with urbane Sydneysiders in a bright and sleek setting. A matte themed interior with a white marble bar and intricately patterned tiles imparts a sophisticated vibe, while a thoughtful selection of drinks are sure to tantalise. Dishes are designed to excite the palate, combining spices and artistic plating in contemporary takes on authentic Lebanese classics. Mouth's water for plates of marinated meats like shawarma chicken, char-grilled lamb cutlets and kafta skewers, and sweet delights like rosewater and orange blossom milk pudding.
