First Lebanese restaurant I have ever visited from many years ago. We purchased a $29 voucher which came with a variety of things, of which I only remembered rice wrapped in pickled vine leaves and lamb skewers. Personally I wasn't massively into them. The seating downstairs looked very comfy with large colorful cushions and lounges. However it was a completely different vibe upstairs- it was terribly dated, grimey, and dingy. The fluorescent lights were really harsh in your eyes. It was probably one of the shabbiest restaurant I've visited. The voucher was a good value for substantial amount of food but nothing else warranted a return.

Disappointing. We arrived at Emad's hoping to understand the hype. Unfortunately, we were sorely disappointed by the value of the food and the quality of the service. In brief, we found that the food was not all that notable, particularly given the priciness of the dishes; the service was sporadic and somewhat discomforting, particularly by the staff sitting in the back not doing much but watch films on their computer or gossip about customers; and the ambience was all right, with a Lebanese theme, but was not that functional and not that clean either.
In light of this, we would not recommend Emad's Lebanese Restaurant to our friends.
You can tell that the place has been around for many years - they still use handwritten invoices and some of the decor is a bit dated.
However, our party of about 20 people were very well looked after for my friend's 30th birthday. It is BYO so you can save a few pennies on drinks.
We ordered the $35 banquet per person and were absolutely stuffed. Breads, dips, kebabs, pastries, stuffed vine leaves, cabbage rolls, salad, baklava and coffee. Made for a great night if you aren't looking to spend a fortune for a good feed. We thought the food was never going to end!

Our party of about 20 people, however, was very good with the 30th birthday of my friend. It's BYO so you can save a few Penny's drinks.

Whenever I am in the city I try & find an excuse to detour through Surry hills to get to this amazing food. I highly recommend the Super Banquet which gives you a little bit of everything & the food just keeps coming.
Went here for a birthday and got the set menu. Ate myself into a coma in a relaxing middle eastern vibe. Really enjoyable meal with friendly staff. Would recommend the set menu, great value also with the BYO!
Emad's has a couple pretty key things going for it: A) It has awesome tasting menus where you can get a little bit of everything B) It has comfy, cushioned

So a friend of mine suggested this place - now, please let me clarify, as I was born and raised in Egypt, I am extremely critical when it comes to any
