About Balabite

Take a bite out of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern street food at Balabite on Eyre Street in North Ward and discover a mosaic of flavours. Recycled timber benches strewn with colourful cushions, stools to perch on at the window and an eclectic mix of artwork set the scene for inspired dining from a menu that conjures comforting happiness. Expect grilled food, koftas, salads and the smell of aromatic spices as you ponder choices like a Tel Aviv hummus bowl with grilled chicken and onion to start; perhaps chow down on a Jerusalem bowl of pulled lamb, rice, tabouli, coleslaw, eggplant, tzatziki and pickles. Wrap your hands around a beef kofta pita with hummus, tabouli, carrot salad, cucumber, jalapeños and tahini, or grilled falafel, hummus, chimichurri, lettuce, beetroot, onion and tahini.

Yummy, healthy and DELICIOUS
We recently discovered Balabite on a visit to Townsville from Melbourne. Now that we are home we are having withdrawals. We had the Jerusalem bowel many times and oh…my…goodness! Honestly one of, if not THE best ‘takeaway’ meal I have ever had.
