About Jasmin Lebanese Restaurant

A Haldon Street anchor where generous plates of charcoal-grilled skewers, crisp falafel, and silky dips arrive fast and unpretentious. Locals head here when communal cravings call for massive banquet-style spreads without the fuss. Tables come set with steel cups, jugs of iced water, and full baskets of flatbread for scooping smoky baba ghannouj, spiced kafta, and pungent toum. An open handwashing sink sits right in the dining room so you can dive straight in by hand.

  • Generous Mixed Platters: Mixed platters arrive piled high with chicken skewers, kafta, crispy falafel, hummus, and tart tabouli.
  • In-Room Handwashing Station: The dining room features an open sink right beside the tables for washing up before tearing into flatbread.

  • Generous Group Sharing and Exceptional Value

    Large family platters and shared sides effortlessly accommodate large groups and cultural sunset feasts with ample food to spare.

    Between 6 of us, we shared a Family Plate and a Mixed Plate, $80 altogether and we still had leftovers.

  • Enduring Family Heritage and Nostalgia

    Decades of consistent homestyle cooking evoke powerful multi-generational memories and lifelong loyalty across visiting families.

    The food reminds me of my late grandma, and the area reminds me of growing up in a Lebanese family in Sydney in the 90s.

  • Effortless Atmosphere for Young Families

    A welcoming, kid-friendly atmosphere with thoughtful staff makes dining with young children completely effortless and accommodating.

    Very accommodating of our young family (closed the front door so our kids remained in the restaurant, brought them a bowl of chips & a drink, changed the channel to entertain our kids).

  • Communal Hands-On Dining Culture

    A dedicated handwashing basin in the dining hall and table jugs with steel cups support traditional, authentic communal eating by hand.

    quite humble with a big sink near the fridge for the customers to wash their hands before eating.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, ordering, and settling up for your visit

  • Anticipate peak-hour queues

    Lines frequently stretch out the door on weekends and right after sunset during peak times like Ramadan, so arrive early or expect a short wait.

  • Order shared platters for group value

    Mixed and Family plates come packed with generous samplers of falafel, dips, and grilled meats, offering more than enough food to feed a group with leftovers.

  • Keep cash ready for payment

    Have cash on hand when visiting, as it is recommended for a seamless payment process during busy dining shifts.
