About Hannibal Middle Eastern Restaurant

A lively Lebanese fixture in Glebe where sprawling mezze feasts meet floor cushions and live weekend belly dancing. Settle onto modular cushions beneath draped ceilings in the carpeted lounge, or pull up a low table for long-table group celebrations. Regulars know to come hungry for the generous banquet spreads—heaped platters of smoky shish tawook, grilled kafta, crisp falafel, and warm flatbread served alongside smooth hommos and labne. On Saturday nights, interactive belly dancing performances quickly pull the whole room into the fold, while tables linger over smooth shisha and fresh cardamom-scented Lebanese coffee.

  • Floor-cushion salon: A dedicated lounge area features draped ceilings, wall carpets, and modular floor cushions around low wooden tables.
  • Live belly dancing: Saturday evenings feature energetic belly dancing shows that get whole dinner parties on their feet.
  • Sprawling feast banquets: Abundant sharing banquets pack low tables with skewers, hot sambouski, pickles, fresh tabouli, and dips.
