manakish/manousheh - Middle Eastern pizza



This is manakish - Lebanese pizza, one with za'atar and the other one is cheese and meat. Perfect to share to get the different flavours.

Za'atar is a mix of herbs and nuts. By googling it I find hundreds of different recipes. It is usually composed of thyme, oregano, sumac, sesame seeds and salt. And sometimes with other herbs and nuts. The taste is acidic, aromatic and salty, a lovely combination with the cheesy cheese and the lemon - chilli seasoned meat.

Very cheap and very nice! My favourite place to have it is a small lebanese pizza shop in Panania.

Zeno's on Crown


hidden among all the trendy bars and restaurants that now line crown street in surry hills is this little gem. Zeno's pizza bar serves up some of the best lebanese food in sydney. You can get a mixed plate full of classic lebanese dishes served with bread and hommus for less than ten dollars, but the real hero of this place are their falafals. They are made fresh right in front of you. perfectly crispy on the outside, but soft and moist in the middle. best enjoyed wrapped in lebanese bred, with fresh minty tabuli and loads of hommus.
