Izgara

Izgara

Izgara means grill in Turkish, and this restaurant grills to perfection. Izgara has created a meat-driven menu where protein is cooked on an open grill in the middle of the restaurant.

Complete with chefs from Turkey to ensure authenticity, start with oysters and Hiramasa kingfish with Yarra Valley caviar before moving onto small plates of fried bulghur, lamb mince and citrus cream, kofte and zucchini flowers.

When it comes to grilled dishes, you are spoilt for choice with everything from a yoghurt-based kebab, lamb loin with smoked eggplant to rib-eye or Wagyu.

The 35-seater restaurant has an interior inspired by 60s Turkish cabaret theatres with dimmed lighting, intimate booths, antique mirrors and a chef’s table alongside the grill. This one is easily one of the best halal restaurants in Sydney!

Mecca Bah

Mecca Bah

Taking up residence in the heart of the city on King's Street Wharf, Mecca Bah is a refreshing addition to the city's food scene.

On the menu, you'll find an extensive selection of entrees including sesame-glazed falafel, lamb boreks, crispy rustic cauliflower, and baked zest halloumi.

Looking for something heartier? Look no further than their tagines and stone-baked pizzas. With three tagines to choose from including, Chermoula Vegetable, Sesame & Honey Chicken, and Seared & Spiced Lamb, the hardest decision you'll have to make is which one to try first.

Don't forget to wash it all down with a cocktail or two. Their signature cocktails include the Turkish Delight Martini with pink gin, triple sec, créme de Cacao, cranberry juice and rosewater, and their equally tempting Pineapple Daiquiri.

This is one of the best halal restaurants in Sydney, and it doesn't hurt that it's in a prime waterfront location either!

Cairo Takeaway

In Enmore, this corner shop Egyptian eatery offers fresh, authentic, tricked-out takeaway. The signature dish of Cairo Takeaway is taameyya, an Egyptian-style falafel that uses fava beans instead of chickpeas.

Made to order, it’s crunchy and golden on the outside, and crumbly and bright green on the inside, just as it is in owner Hesham El Masry’s hometown of Cairo. There are pita pockets filled with lamb or chicken, plus a loaded vegetarian plate to get your veggie fix.

There's limited seating in the cute courtyard out back, so be sure to call ahead if you're planning on eating in.
