Food was delicious with authentic middle eastern flavours. We got the breakfast banquet, lamb shoulder, lamb kofta, shakshuka and brussel sprouts. Price was very reasonable as well and presentation of the food was impressive. Will definitely be coming back!

Outstanding service and food every single time. The best Lebanese food (I am Lebanese) and sorry to my mum but it's better than hers . The tangy fatoush is banging, so is the hummus, the tabouli, and batata hara. The kafta is good. Everything has hit the spot! I want to eat everything on the menu but don't have enough stomachs. I love the mocktails, too. Try the lime/rose water combo. It's fabulous.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Lil' Miss Piggy in Surry Hills, NSW, for a work dinner with a group of 10 people, and we opted for their banquet menu. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding. The process began with emailing to book our reservation, and even at this initial stage, the communication and efficiency were impeccable. It set a fantastic tone for what was to come. As for the food, it was truly incredible! Every dish on the banquet was a delight, bursting with flavour and clearly prepared with immense care. The variety and quality exceeded all our expectations. What's more, the value for money was absolutely amazing, especially considering the generous portions and the high standard of the cuisine. Beyond the delicious food, the service was perfect. The staff were attentive, friendly, and ensured that our large group was well looked after throughout the evening without being intrusive. We all had an incredible time, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and the fantastic company. I cannot recommend Lil' Miss Piggy highly enough. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Surry Hills with exceptional food, great value, and flawless service, this is the place to go!
