LOCATION
Parramatta, 40 minutes from the CBD. El-Phoenician now provides customers with a private car park free of charge. Entrance via Phillip street off Church street, through the David Frater car park.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE
As Lebanese-style dining is a highly social affair, dishes here are constructed with sharing in mind. You’d be amiss not to order the mixed dips – tangy, lemon-scented labna, smoky babaganoush and smooth, garlicky hummus. An entire meal can be had sharing a selection of the mezza, including shankleesh (smoked cheese on mixed leaves and tomato, drizzled with olive oil), and batengen shawarma (slices of eggplant topped with minced lamb, pine nuts and fresh mint). For those less inclined to share, there are individually portioned mains, from the beautifully spiced shish kebab to whole snapper stuffed with lemon thyme, oregano and semi-dried tomato. El Phoenician does have a (not unwarranted) reputation as a party venue, and on weekends you get the full deal. Girl – and boy – belly dancers gyrate around the dining room to hypnotic Middle Eastern rhythms – and by all accounts, they put on quite the show.
