About Emma's Snack Bar

Packed tables, clinking bottles, and homestyle Lebanese cooking give this Enmore corner classic its energy. The room gets loud fast—bring a crew and uncork your own wine over bowls of garlicky toum, spicy hummus, and crispy Brussels sprouts drizzled in tahini. House plates like the Moorish chicken keep groups grazing across communal tables, while an upstairs retro annex, Mixed Business, mixes cocktails under disco lights for those lingering into the night.

  • Share-Style Lebanese Plates: Tear into shareable platters of spicy hummus, garlicky dips, falafel, and Moorish chicken built for big groups.
  • BYO Wine Welcomed: Uncork your own bottles of wine alongside spice-laden spreads in the lively dining room.
  • Retro Upstairs Cocktail Bar: Head upstairs to Mixed Business, the venue's retro cocktail annex serving drinks beneath disco lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I book a table in advance, and is parking available?

Reservations are accepted and recommended to be made well in advance for dinner, especially for groups, as dining can be busy and sittings may be scheduled. Free street parking can typically be found in nearby lanes if you arrive early.

Can you bring your own wine (BYO)?

Yes, customers can bring their own wine (BYO wine), and the venue also offers house cocktails alongside an upstairs retro bar space.

What is the noise level and dining atmosphere like?

The downstairs dining room has a lively, high-energy atmosphere that can get quite loud and buzzy. Guests looking for different seating vibes can check out the back courtyard or the upstairs retro bar area.

How does ordering and portion sizes work?

The menu is designed for sharing with generous portions, making it ideal to order a variety of hot and cold small plates—such as dips, Brussels sprouts, and Moorish chicken—or a banquet feast rather than single individual mains.
