We dined here a few nights ago using a cudo voucher and were both pleasantly surprised. We both had mixed mains, tea and turkish delight. Everything was fresh and beautifully cooked. There was so much food for what we had paid and we didn't get treated like second class citizens like other places do when you use a voucher. We will definitely be back!

We went here on a voucher deal trying something different, this place was fantastic! a true 'authentic' casual kind of place.

Here's why: Main reason - the food was simply excellent. Its the sort of Lebanese food you would get off the street in cafes or casual restaurants in Lebanon. Unpretentious, generous servings, good hummus and dips, good skewer/kebabs. Superb turkish delight! we also fondly enjoyed the entree of pickled cucumber and odd purple looking veges served with basil leaves.

At first sight you think "this is just salty and weird and why would I want to eat this" but upon combining the flavours together you get delightful, fresh and surprisingly pleasing bites. The food really is the highlight. And the service should get mention as well, lovely people who were quiet but very accommodating with 0 hassle for our requests.

Only downside to the place is that in Sydney the atmosphere of this place (casual old school, can look like a cafeteria or something) is not suited for those who like their atmosphere.

Great choice for authentic Lebanese, true to its roots.

The food here is absolutely gorgeous. Massive portions and really tasty. The Falafel was delightful crunchy on the outside and delicious. Service was good considering the place was packed. The staff were helpful and courteous.
Overall a good place to eat.

I have been here several times, most recently with my a group of 4. The mixed plates are filling and still retain a quality of food and flavour. I am part Lebanese and I have to say, the falafel here have been perfect every time. They are really a highlight, crispy on the outside, made fresh. The mint and cinnamon tea was a sweet and refreshing finisher.

Value is fantastic. You can feed four for $60 if you choose wisely, and still try a range of dishes. Service is friendly and reasonably attentive, especially considering how busy they are when I have been. Thanks again for a great night!

One of my favourite restaurants, solely for the food. I love Lebanese food, and I haven't had better anywhere. There's lots of great menu items, but if you're new to Jasmin's I recommend the creatively named "mix plate". It's reassuring to see that lots of Lebanese people eat at Jasmin's.

Ambience could be better, a bit echoey, brightly lit and the drinks cabinet shouldn't be visible. If they sorted out these minor issues it would be worthy of an "8" at least and we'd eat in more often. I hope they take my (and others) feedback on board as I think a few small changes would improve the place heaps.

Service is good, staff are friendly and genuine. It's usually a lively and casual crowd. Really great value, though the prices seem to have gone up just a little recently. Expect heaps of leftovers to take away!

This place has been a real find! Food is so fresh, a punch of beautiful flavours, servings are big and it is just sooooo cheap! The restaurant itself is very plain, no decor and the service is hit and miss, as soon as they're busy they lose the plot, but for the price I am not expecting 5 stars staff. They always very polite anyway. A gem for a quick and cheap but tasty fix.

The food is always fresh and plentiful. We order the vegetarian platter which is $15 as well as a side order of falafel's as we found we were just filling up on the bread. The ambience is pleasant with the decor being more modern than their other restaurants. Parking is fairly easy and the staff were pleasant. We go to the Leichhardt restaurant when we want to have a more 'elegant' night out due to the updated decor.

I had dinner here on Monday. The food tasted delicious and fresh. The plating looked clean and full of colour. The portions were large and great value for money. Service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back and recommend this place to friends and anyone.

Cheers and happy dining.

Great food! Great sitting, except the seat was shaking a bit. As for service, I have been there 3 times, 2 of the times service 10/10 and same with the beginning of the 3rd visit, but as soon as it got busy they started overlooking and not paying careful attention to all the customers. Value is 10/10! Cannot get anything better anywhere else! Definitely will go there again. I am actually going tomorrow for a friend's birthday there.

Got takeaway and the food was absolutely delicious and great value. The falafel were some of the best I have tried.
