Friendly and helpful staff make for a great atmosphere.Food comes quickly from the kitchen, fresh, tasty, and delightful. Don't be fooled by what can look like a small serve. With the delicious addition of dips, rice, and sauces, it is a feast of spicy flavours that will challenge anyone's appetite.

Very tasty Lebanese/middle eastern restaurant. Everything in the banquet was fresh and tasted home made - the tabouleh and chicken skewers were highlights, but it was all good. We got banquet for 2 between 3 of us, which was plenty - the servings are very generous. Great Turkish coffee and baklava for dessert

Last straw with this restaurant.We've had a number of bad experiences over the years and I've held off reviewing them but enough is enough.First experience was around 5 years ago when they failed to book in our large group of people.I went to pay a deposit of $10 for each person around 2 days before the booking as I was instructed to by the person who supposedly took the booking. When I turned up they said that there was no booking made. Well I obviously called to make the booking initially as how would I know to turn up with a deposit?When we all turned up we were told it was a set menu as there was so many of us. This WAS NOT mentioned when making the booking or when making the deposit.We had two people with special dietary requirements & they had to be accommodated for.Second time was when my partner & I made a new year's eve booking. Turned up at the restaurant & was waiting for the menu. Upon asking we were then told that it's a set menu for the night.Once again was not informed of this & my partner did not eat half of the food as she is a fussy eater.Didn't even hang around for dessert as service was slow.This time we ordered take away & they forgot some of our food & we felt we were utterly ripped off.I've could have gone to Woonona Circle chicken shop & got two chicken kebabs & some chips for $10.See photos.We won't be coming back.

The meals were very filling and packed with flavour. Just a pity they didn't make there own bread. It seemed like super market quality.3 1/2 stars. Photo is chicken parmy with eggplant, salad and chips. @$27

I would suggest this to any soul that wants to go to a Lebanese restaurant, spontaneous food, beautiful fast customer service, amazing drinks, very filling and from the moment you walk through the door they make you feel welcome and like home definitely would go back there any day

I had the pleasure of dining at Samara's this past Saturday night to celebrate my friend's 40th birthday. Our group consisted of my family of four and her family of four. While the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, we initially experienced some delays in service. We had to actively seek the attention of the wait staff to place our orders and request crayons for the young kids. Love that they have paper table covers to keep the children entertained while we waited.Once we placed our orders, everything promptly arrived at our table and was cleared away efficiently. Opting for the banquet menu for the four adults, we were delighted by the generous portions that even the kids could enjoy. The food itself was simply delicious, normally garlic dip is overpowering, this one was subtle and perfectly balanced. The food had well-seasoned flavors that satisfied our palates.What truly made this dining experience exceptional was the owner personally taking the time to engage with us. The owner was an absolute delight—warm, generous, and patient. As we were leaving, we asked him to capture a picture of our families, despite his evident busyness and stress. He graciously obliged and took several snapshots for us. We are truly grateful for his kindness and would like to extend our personal thanks to him.The level of customer service we received was brilliant, and it has definitely earned our loyalty. We will not only be returning to Samara's but also recommending it to our friends. Thank you for providing us with such a delightful dining experience.

As per advise of the serving lady I opt for the Meat platter.And I was served this ( it looked great) but when I tasted it it was DRY....SUPER DRY ( no not the brand of my sunglasses).And I was embarrassed to say it at the table, as it was New Year's Eve, and everyone was in a good mood.I gave most of the meat away.... The chicken skewers were so dry, they were not fresh...awful...and all the other skewers were tough as the meat cuts must have been very cheap ones....So bad... And $44....Never again.Do not recommend,Sorry guys
