I bought some takeaway chicken and chips from here based on the reviews on this site. And did they get it right! Hands down, the best charcoal chicken I've had. For $13 for a whole chicken, it's $1-$2 more than the chicken you'd buy from your local charcoal chicken but So much better. The chips were tasty, just the right amount of crispiness, the garlic sauce with the chicken was to die for. I could eat the garlic sauce on its own.

The place isn't much to look at, just like a basic take away shop but with a few tables for diners. The service was friendly and efficient, and I was happy to chat with the lady over the counter as I waited 12 minutes for my chicken.
I would definitely come back here again. I had the chicken for dinner three hours ago and my stomach is still rumbling at the thought of it.

Recommended to us by a family member and we finally decided to go today, service was great in terms of friendliness and showing us that they were there to serve us not vice versa, we took a seat and food came out quite promptly. The pickles were nicely pickled and the garlic sauce packed the right amount of punch, the chicken, however, was a tad dry and lacked the nice crispy skin that the other charcoal chicken places had, it was rather burnt and tasted smoky (very bad), the chips were cold and was overloaded with salt.

All in all it was a good feed, I would consider trying it again in hopes that next time will be better.

Goodness gracious, where do I start? Firstly the food is amazing! This ain't no typical charcoal chicken. The chicken has a beautiful kind of spice to it (not hot, just full of flavour). The garlic sauce is amazing. Match em up with the pickles and the Lebanese bread- and you'll be addicted! Even the hot chips are yummier than anywhere else I've had them. The service is always great and it's always busy when I go there. If you haven't been yet, you've got to go!

The best tasting charcoal chicken in Sydney! And the garlic sauce is to die for.

Highly recommended Lebanese chicken here! The chicken here will give El Jannah in Granville a run for its money. A hidden place and like most people the ambience of this place is like a run down take away shop with only a few tables inside and out. The chicken though is good, better than your average charcoal chicken place. If you eat in they give you garlic dip and some of their pickles but my only complaint with the food is the garlic dip is a little too salty.

Service, nil issues here, food did not take long to come to us. Value, its well priced and $12 for half a chicken and the sides is good value. Worth trying, despite the overall rating which is dragged down by the ambience, a hidden gem in Liverpool!

We dined here on a Friday night based on reading these Eatability reviews and it definitely lived up to expectations! I never tend to like takeaway shops very much. However, the dishes this place serves is exceptional.

The best thing I love about this restaurant is the seasoning and the sauces, something that is extremely important in Lebanese cuisine. The chicken just melts in your mouth.! and the garlic sauce just blows you away! This is my new favourite restaurant. I have fallen in love with this restaurant. It was such a surprise finding. I have been there many times and I'm never disappointed with the quality of the food or the service.

The Best chicken and garlic ever! They also cater for large groups and businesses. Great value for money when you want something local and fresh. When you go there you have to have garlic so be prepared when you go there. hint* hint* garlic breathe ;p

Great little takeaway place. I shared a family meal with my friends and it was delicious! The chicken is cooked to perfection. Smokey crispy skin and juicey meat. Not dry at all. You have to have it with their famous garlic sauce. Tasty indeed! The dips are beautifully smooth and full of flavour. The Babaganush is made from eggplant which has been cooked above the coals too so the taste has a lovely smoked aroma to it.

I could go on about the other dishes but it was all so good that you have to try it. Highly recommended! The only problem is this place does not suit for large groups to eat in. Seating is limited but call them ahead of time to reserve a table and I am sure the friendly staff will be able to help. That is what my friends and I did.

Good local takeaway. People are extremely nice. Great fresh alternative to KFC.
