So a friend of mine suggested this place — now, please let me clarify, as I was born and raised in Egypt, I am extremely critical when it comes to any Middle Eastern cuisine. Firstly, this place is decorated by someone who thinks that Lebanon is a live action version of the Aladdin cartoon. But this is counterbalanced by the authentic owner, who comes with perfuse sweat and all! And for some reason the sweater the man the better are his kebabs — don’t question this formulae, just accept it.
Putting the décor aside, the food here is good — but not great. There is better Lebanese food. For example I think that Al Aseel is much better quality — of course if you want good Lebanese food you should head towards Greenacre or Lekemba. But if you are in Surry, then head straight to Al Aseel.
The best thing about the food is the dips, the hommus and Babganoush are brilliant. But unfortunately the rest of the food was quite ordinary. Everything needed a bit more lemon, or a touch more cumin. Saying that overall the price was good for what you paid for. But I wouldn’t come here again unless there was nothing else opened.

Best lady fingers I’ve had so far. The chicken and lamb skewers and the falafel are really nice, too. Good service, nice interior, comfortable seats and sofas.

Emad’s has a couple pretty key things going for it: A) It has awesome tasting menus where you can get a little bit of everything B) It has comfy, cushioned seats C) It’s BYO and D) It’s open much later than the places around it.
I went for a late night meal on Saturday night and was seated after 10pm, which was a welcome relief after getting turned away from several places before because their kitchens were closed. We ordered the $ 20 sampler which came with bread /​hommus /​tabouli as well as finger sized items such as dolmas and falafels. There were about 5 things on the plate to choose from, all fried, all delicious. The hommus here is amazing and is also available for take away at Fatima’s next door if you’re interested. The service is great and food comes quickly, which is key if it’s 10:30pm and you’ve just realized you forgot to eat dinner. Thanks for being open so late, Emad’s, you’re a real champ.
