Zahli - Modern Middle Eastern Restaurant

ZAHLI - Our name comes from a beautiful area in Lebanon where the Bardouni river flows from Mount Sannine. Amongst other things, Zahli is steeped in the tradition of Lebanon’s famous mezza and on warm evenings there is nothing finer than dining outdoors at one of the excellent restaurants that line the river banks there. Wine and poetry flow in equal measure – there have been many poets and writers born in Zahli and some of the best wines and araks in the region originate in this small area.

Zahli brings together an authentic, traditional Middle Eastern experience like no other. Located on Sydney’s iconic Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills, we have created an atmosphere and menu that is a modern take on traditional Middle Eastern cuisine.

Come and experience for yourself the vibrancy and warmth that has made Lebanon famous for centuries, through the delicious food we serve and the cultural experience we deliver. Providing traditional, authentic Lebanese food with a contemporary twist is our specialty. Enriched with flavours, textures, aromas and tastes directly inspired by Lebanese culture, our cuisine brings about nothing short of the most exceptional combination of Lebanese-specific spices and herbs, fit to satisfy any palate. Vegans and vegetarians are sure to love our menu and we’re sure no diner will leave unsatisfied or left to feel as if they’re missing out on the deliciousness we serve up.

We take pride in delivering excellence in taste, service, experience and memories. Our award-winning meals curated by our Executive Chef are a testament to what Zahli is all about and the joy we have brought to our local community, international travelers and special guests for decades.
