Lebanese @ Almustafa

On a Saturday night, I was keen to take Daz to try this place at Glebe called Himalayan Char Grill because I had an entertainment book voucher and saw good reviews of the place. Silly me didn't book the place and when we got there, there was no room for us... So we walked around the area and after being turned down by a couple of other places, we got accepted at Almustafa, a Lebanese place

So on a Saturday night at 8pm and you can just walk in to a place right in the middle of busy Glebe... something must not be right I thought... but we were keen to try it anyway as the ratings were not too bad...

I am normally not a big fan of banquets as you obviously pay a premium with them, but that night we were keen to try as many things on the menu and didn't really know where to begin with ordering so we just went for the banquet for $50pp...

The meat dishes were delicious... beautifully spiced and herbed... garlic flavours were amazing... definitely beautifully done... the dips and salads were pretty standard of any Lebanese place

Mid way through dinner, there was a belly dancer that did a very short dance for us... I was thinking, if you have bothered to bring a dancer in, why not make her dance for a bit longer... but I guess too long of a performance may be too distracting for the diners

When it came to dessert, we had 2 tiny pieces of baklava and turkish delight for 2 people to share... they definitely could have been more generous and offer a piece for each person!
