About Iftar

Iftar delivers a refined take on Middle Eastern dining in Merrylands, matching traditional flavors with sharp modern riffs. Pillowy woodfired bread emerges hot from the dedicated Morana Forna oven, splashed with olive oil and spices before hitting the table alongside chickpea fatteh or creamy foul. The kitchen branches out with clever crossover plates—think shawarma tacos and wagyu kofta dumplings dressed in crispy chilli oil and teriyaki—while morning tables fill up with runny-egg awarma manoosh. Come Saturday evening, live music sets the tempo for shareable Feed Me spreads stacked with dips, skewers, and cheese cigars drizzled in honey.

  • Fresh Woodfired Breads: Puffy house bread and awarma manoosh baked to order in a dedicated high-heat Morana Forna oven.
  • Modern Lebanese Riffs: Inventive crossover plates like shawarma tacos, cheese cigars with honey, and wagyu kofta dumplings in chilli oil.
  • Lively Banquet Atmosphere: Weekend evening service features live music alongside abundant multi-course Feed Me tasting spreads.

Why Diners Choose Iftar

Six distinct reasons guests choose Iftar for modern Middle Eastern dining in Merrylands

  • Fresh Bread from the In-House Oven

    The kitchen bakes fresh bread to order in a dedicated Morana Forna oven, creating a puffy, Neapolitan pizza-style crust seasoned with olive oil and spices.

    The fluffy bread baked fresh from the huge oven and then splashed generously with olive oil and sprinkled spices in top.

    Morning dining features authentic Lebanese staples such as rich foul, freshly fried falafel, and lamb awarma manoosh with runny eggs.

    From the fluffy, freshly baked bread to the creamy, flavorful foul, every dish is a delight.

    Familiar Lebanese recipes are creatively reimagined into contemporary dishes like spiced shawarma tacos, wagyu kofta dumplings, and cheese cigars with honey.

    for my top #1 recommendation would definitely have to be the shawarma tacos! The flavour is unexplainable it’s that good

Before you head over

Practical tips on bookings, weekend dining, and menu ordering at Iftar

  • Book ahead for peak lunch and weekend services

    The dining room draws heavy crowds on weekends, Friday lunches, and even weekday midday services. Reserve your table ahead of time to avoid wait times or lines out the door.

  • Factor in Sunday weekend surcharges

    If dining in on Sunday, note that a Sunday weekend surcharge and card processing fee totaling around 12% is applied to your bill.

  • Opt for the Feed Me banquet for group ease

    For groups wanting a stress-free meal, the Feed Me tasting banquet takes out the guesswork with generous portions of woodfired bread, dips, tacos, and mains that often leave leftovers.
