Arabella Lebanese Restaurant is Sydney’s first and foremost Middle Eastern dining experience, offering a rich culinary journey steeped in tradition and innovation. With a history spanning over 18 years, our head chef brings the authentic flavors and creative cuisine of Lebanon to Newtown, delighting diners with a menu that has been labeled the tastiest in all of Sydney, Australia.
Shishabella, our sister venue, is Newtown’s finest Dessert & Shisha Bar, providing a vibrant and safe environment where guests can indulge in a variety of shisha flavors and delectable desserts, including the chef’s special Knafeh. The sleek and discreet look of Arabella, bathed in muted chocolate browns and warm greys, creates an ambiance that transports diners to a true Middle Eastern setting, complete with modern and funky fit-outs and Middle Eastern artifacts.
From Beirut to Sydney, our head chef’s expertise was nurtured in the bustling souks of Beirut and refined in prestigious Dubai kitchens before being shared with diners in Sydney. Arabella offers a cultural retreat where each bite represents the warmth of Middle Eastern hospitality, inviting guests to savor a wide range of Middle Eastern treasures, from hot and cold mezze options to succulent flame-grilled meats and creative vegetarian dishes. Whether it’s a corporate gathering, engagement celebration, or a joyous party, Arabella provides a flexible and unforgettable dining experience for all occasions.
