One of the few places in Altona/Newport area that sells the best man'oush (pies). Of course it’s freshly baked and the taste is sublime. Accepts cash/card, and plenty of parking in front of the store.

I have been to many Lebanese bakeries across Sydney and Melbourne; and I can say hands down this place is the best! The dough is excellent, thin and delicious. The spinach and cheese is absolutely amazing, it has that subtle bitterness you only get from fresh spinach, it's one of my favourites and is a very generous size. Amazing cheese, zatar and more. As for the shanglish; it's the first time I've actually enjoyed shanglish from any place I've every tried it at. I can't say enough good things about this place. The people are friendly good people; and this spot is a little gem! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top notch munoosh that still tastes great days later (refrigerated)!

It is hidden little gem! Must visit this place for the Lebanese breakfast! try their fresh breakfast zaatar(thyme and oregano mix), zaatar with vegetables, cheese, meat, spinach or the age fermented cheese (Shankleesh) which is my favorite! It looks like pizza but yeah you should try it for breakfast! I will pay you back your money if you don’t like it!

What an absolutely delightful place. The zaatar bread is the best I’ve had outside of the Middle East. Wonderful people and good coffee.
