About Zaffi Sydney

Tucked into a moody CBD laneway, Zaffi reimagines Lebanese feast culture into a sharp supper club that runs well into the night. An early sitting keeps things conversational over blistered za’atar manoosh, crisp chili potatoes, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder collapsing off the bone. Group tables lean hard into the set banquet—dishes keep landing without pause, backed by icy watermelon Pisco sours and quick floor service. By late evening, the downstairs room pivots into high-octane celebration as DJs take over, live drums echo through the brick arches, and weekend revelers end up dancing beside communal tables until 4 am.

  • Generous Lebanese Banquets: Multi-course spreads featuring blistered za'atar flatbread, dips, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder with seamless table top-ups.
  • Late-Night Party Energy: Later sessions transition into a full-scale supper club with live percussion, DJs, and dance floor energy running late.
  • Weekend Late Hours: Open until 4 am on Friday and Saturday nights with a dedicated downstairs bar and dance space.

Why Guests Choose Zaffi Sydney

From early express banquets to late-night supper club energy in the CBD

  • Dynamic Supper Club Atmosphere

    Later bookings evolve from Lebanese dining into a full-scale party with live drumming, DJs, and dancing.

    the place transformed into a full-blown supper club — live drum, people dancing on chairs, and just an amazing, high-energy vibe.

  • All-in-One Dance Celebration

    The venue pairs upbeat music with a dedicated dance floor that keeps milestone celebrations going late.

    everyone stayed past midnight dancing and having such a great time. I am very pleased I made my cousin wear her comfortable heels because she did not get off the dance floor all evening

  • Abundant Sharing Banquets

    Multi-course banquet offerings deliver generous portions of house-made dips, breads, and grilled meats for sharing without decision fatigue.

    The food kept coming! Could easily be for 3 or 4 peeps. Lots of smaller sized plates, but packed with food on each dish, so the portion size ends up being quite generous!

  • High-Value Express Menus

    Curated multi-dish express set menus provide exceptional dining value with generous portions across classic dishes.

    Their Express Menu is excellent value as it includes 7 dishes so you can try a bit of everything.

  • Early Conversational Sittings

    Earlier evening dinner slots provide a relaxed, conversational dining experience before nighttime entertainment begins.

    We did the 6pm session which meant it was a quieter experience - later sessions are more party-vibe

  • Late-Night Weekend Hours

    Operating into the early morning hours on weekends gives groups an uninterrupted space to dine and celebrate late in the Sydney CBD.

    Open until 4 am on weekends, Zaffi stands out as a premier late-night destination.

Signature banquets and crowd-favourite Middle Eastern dishes

  • Express menu

    We got the $49 express menu and I cannot recommend it enough. Every dish was so so tasty and carefully considered, and it was more than enough food for the two of us.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, bookings, and menu formats to make the most of your visit

  • Reserve early for a quieter dinner

    Book an early sitting between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm if you prefer a quieter, conversational dinner with lower music volume before the party energy and DJs kick in.

  • Time your booking for the supper club vibes

    For celebrations or a high-energy night out, book around 7:30 pm to catch the late-evening transition when DJs start around 8:30 pm and live drums turn the space into a dance floor by 10:15–10:30 pm.

  • Choose set menus for effortless group dining

    Opt for the multi-course banquet or express menu to eliminate ordering guesswork; these generous shared spreads easily satisfy hungry groups and offer high value.
