About Semsom Lebanese Cuisine

Semsom brings genuine Lebanese comfort to Chester Hill with golden, airy falafel and generous mixed grills that taste straight out of Beirut. Regulars point to the batata harra—crisp potatoes tossed with fresh coriander, garlic, and chilli—alongside creamy baba ghanouj and tender chicken tawook skewers. Mornings start over warm plates of spiced shakshuka and scratch-made fattah before giving way to lunch platters piled high with char-grilled meats, kibbeh, and house-fried cauliflower. Grab a drink from the curated local cooler and pull up a chair; the kitchen treats everyone who walks in like family.

  • Handcrafted Falafel & Sides: Fluffy on the inside and crisp outside, fried fresh to order alongside spiced batata harra and house dips.
  • Traditional Lebanese Breakfast: From-scratch shakshuka, foul, and warm fattah served early before the afternoon charcoal grills start.
  • Char-Grilled Mixed Plates: Tender skewers of lamb, chicken tawook, and kofta accompanied by garlic toum, pickles, and warm flatbread.
