Lebanese restaurant and takeaway menus in Central

A Surry Hills institution, The Prophet proffers authentic Lebanese cuisine available in singular portions or in banquets (mezzes). Pick a mezze, and you get everything from hummus to chicken skewers to baklava vying for your attention; if a little bit of this and that isn't your thing, salads, felafels and other options should hit the spot. The dimly-lit intimate setting is replicated on two levels as well as a balcony area, establishing an exotic environment in which to sample the Middle Eastern morsels. While located on the busy thoroughfare of Cleveland Street, The Prophet feels cloistered away in its own world.

Unpretentious, classic Lebanese food is what's on offer at this unassuming restaurant. The low-key interior belies the incredible food pumped out of the kitchen, which includes some of the most authentic falafel, hummus and lady's fingers you're likely to find in Sydney. With no corkage charge and a well-priced banquet menu, this is a popular spot for groups and parties looking for a good, affordable meal without Surry Hills' usual buzz and posturing.
