Barzaari

Too many people for social distancing and there was no attempt from wait staff to maintain distance. Too much food in banquet for two people.

Me and my girlfriend went to dinner here just after they renovated. And walked in and there was a beautiful ambience. And really friendly helpful staff. And while dinning there and chatting to the waiters and waitresses I found out it’s a family run restaurant and all the food is home made. And your dinner was amazing we ate far too much as everything was lovely.

Great variety and large servings. Really interesting flavours.

Wine list from all over the old & new world.

Shall return.

Beautiful place and amazing food! Some mix up meant we didn’t a menu for a while, but they were super nice and made up for that easily from there...
Drinks menu as mind-blowing as the food - will definitely go back.

Absolutely delicious food. Great ambience. Good wines. Loved!

The food was extremely salty! We returned a dish and it came back at the same salt level. Unfortunately we won’t be back! The cocktails were good.

Pretty good food and selection. May be a little on the salty side but that's more likely just my personal opinion.

Great food , with a variance across the Eastern Med, exciting to the palate and definitely worth a try.

A delicious meal, full of flavour. Service was outstanding. Would highly recommend a visit

We were pretty disappointed to say the least, as we live locally and have wanted to go to this restaurant for a while. They were busy at 8pm and had to wait to place our orders. We finally got the attention of a waitress who took our order. After 20 minutes our drinks still hadn’t arrived, and then hubby caught the barman swapping out Hendricks gin for for a basic spirit, much to his disgust and especially at $21 a pop. The drinks were replaced but by the time they came back half hr had past. This was pretty deceiving.
The oysters had shell in them and I nearly cracked my tooth.
The “pop eye” beef was chewy and had gristle, and should just be called beef rump as that’s what it was. But I supposed they can’t charge $39 for it then, can they?
My 12 year old can cut a tomato for a salad better than we had served that night.
And all the while, a couple we were looking out at (we were on the bar looking out to the street) were clearly friends of either the owner or the manager, as he visited them at least 3 times and their service appeared to be amazing.
I know the rents aren’t cheap in the area, but ripping off locals won’t keep you in business for long. Pathetic.

We went on a Tuesday night and were the only table that night so very quiet. The food is very nice and different.

Excellent local restaurant with top notch, interesting food and good selection of wine by the glass.

We took our friend to Barzaari to celebrate her 60th birthday. It was just a small gathering but the restaurant made her feel very special on the evening.

Brilliant atmosphere with great food and water knowledge and attention. Only detraction was the original music being played for dinner. Was changed after request . Very good and will recommend to others. Merry Xmas

Amazing food! Amazing service! Best bread I’ve ever had

I love this restaurant. The food is scrumptious with interesting choices like calamari with squid ink aioli. The people who work here are very attentive and not pretentious, unlike another place in Surry Hills which also serves middle eastern fare. I recommend it wholeheartedly for food and service.

Outstanding food that is exciting and innovative. Catered for vegetarians as well. Very happy to explain the food, and the culture of the regions were the food was inspired by. Also showed the herbs that were drying, how they used them in the dishes. Staff seemed happy to be working there

Delicious food and service, a little overpriced.
Very impressive desserts.

Great night with excellent food and service. The staff were attentive and friendly, food was delicious and in decent servings for sharing. Will definitely be back.

Food is absolutely AMAZING! this is for sure going to be a regular to go to! Service was second to none.

One of the best restaurants in Australia! The food, wine and service is second to non!

We were very impressed. Will definitely recommend and return. Thank you for asking.

The food was yummy especially the small bites. The trout was perfectly cooked. They have a good selection of vegetarian.

First time ever having the set menu and it was delicious! The wait staff were great. Such a good night!

The food was so Delicious and well presented. Amazing flavours. Very helpful and friendly waiter

Original varied menu - I would just comment that our meal was hearty with generous servings and perhaps more suited to a cold winter's night. Not many 'light summery' options on the menu. food was very good quality and beautiful presentation.

Love this place!! We’ve been here a handful of times and never fails to disappoint! Food is spectacular with so much flavor. the Lebanese carob dessert was to die for and would highly recommend it to those with sweet tooth... perfect mix of sweet, salty, light and crunchy at the same time. Cocktails were delicious and it definitely wasn’t a ‘weak’ cocktail that some other places serve up.

We’ve been seated at the bar, inside and outside. Perhaps as locals we don’t care so much about being under the flight path but honestly there are worse things to complain about. Thanks for a wonderful dinner Barzaari! X

Great food which is always changing. It has a really cool atmosphere with an old world charm. Would highly recommend.

The date was terrible, but the food was amazing! Such deliciousness in every bite. Mouth watering food!

The food is consistently good - I love this place so much!

Very expensive for the food that you get and the portion sizes.

Great food and service nice treat for date night with hubby

Brilliant menu and food; very friendly and engaged service

Excellent staff, attentive and kind. Amazing flavourful food. We had a set meal and found the servings incredibly generous. We will be back - with friends.

Great experience for father’s day. Lots of food! Needed an extra person to wait tables and clear plates as lunch time got busier.

This is a great restaurant consistently serving great food, with a good wine list. The staff including the chefs make you feel important and ensure that you are looked after during the dining experience.

Amazing food and service. the place was buzzing! Will definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the food. All dishes tasted incredible. Unfortunately the service was not on point.

We loved it

Great staff and great food. Cost maybe a little pricey but the cocktails are very tasty.
