Lillah

Best Known For

Smoked za’atar lamb ‘malawawach tacos’, with cultivated yoghurt and capsicum salsa.

A celebration of Middle Eastern cuisine, Lillah on Longueville Road brings a touch of individuality to Lane Cove. With a name meaning ‘beautiful night’ in Arabic, every table and piece of crockery has been handcrafted, while archways, a feature skylight and exposed brick walls create a space resembling a Middle Eastern courtyard. A façade of white and black geometric tiles gives way to an interior vibe of blond wood table settings and ivy covered wall features, enticing diners to linger over meals with a cocktail in hand; perhaps starting with falafels, charcoal tahini, old school salsa and chilli zhug. For the main affair, try a dish from Lillah’s garden like fried cauliflower with slow cooked capsicum salsa and capers; or lamb shoulder with house chips, Dad’s onion rings and burnt lemon.
