Treat yourself to a modern Middle Eastern experience at Lillah on Longueville Road in Lane Cove. Meaning ‘beautiful night’ in Arabic, Lillah celebrates all things Middle Eastern in surrounds of archways, a feature skylight and exposed brick walls, creating a space resembling a courtyard. A façade of white and black geometric tiles gives way to an interior vibe of grey washed wood table settings and ivy-covered ceiling, enticing diners to linger over meals with a cocktail in hand; perhaps starting your adventure with beautiful old school baba ganoush. For the main, delve into beetroot basteeya with sautéed chard, crumbled goats’ cheese and crispy fried flatbread; don't forget to order a cauliflower falafel with creamy hummus, muhammara and crispy falafel crust to accompany your main dish.
