The warm, relaxed interior of Barzaari Restaurant on Addison Road, Marrickville

Marrickville, Sydney · Since 2016

A family table
for everyone

Barzaari Restaurant is a family-run neighbourhood restaurant in Marrickville, Sydney, devoted to the generous, flavour-rich cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean.

How Barzaari began

Barzaari Restaurant opened in 2016 on Addison Road, Marrickville, with a simple conviction: that the communal, generous spirit of Eastern Mediterranean cooking belonged in Sydney. Barzaari draws on the food traditions of Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt, combining authentic regional flavours with contemporary cooking techniques and a relaxed neighbourhood feel.

Barzaari is family-run, and that shows in the way the restaurant operates. Every dish is made to be shared. The portions are generous. The welcome is genuine. Barzaari is the kind of place where the table fills slowly, the conversation runs long and the food keeps arriving long after you thought you were done.

Since 2016, Barzaari Restaurant has become a fixture on Addison Road, a place where Marrickville locals return again and again, and where first-time visitors quickly understand why.

Rooted in the Eastern Mediterranean

Cyprus

Barzaari Restaurant draws its deepest roots from Cypriot cooking: slow-cooked meats, charcoal-grilled specialities and traditional sweets like loukoumades that have shaped family tables for generations.

Lebanon

Lebanese cuisine gives Barzaari its mezze philosophy: small, vivid, shareable dishes built from chickpeas, tahini, fresh herbs and wood-fired flatbreads that belong in the centre of the table.

Syria

Syrian flavour traditions inform Barzaari's spice palette, from the warm depth of cumin and coriander in the falafel to the fragrant za'atar and pomegranate molasses found across the menu.

Egypt

Egyptian cooking brings bold legume dishes and earthy, satisfying flavours to the Barzaari table, grounding the menu in a culinary tradition that stretches back thousands of years.

Food is better
when it's shared.

Barzaari Restaurant designs every dish for the centre of the table. Plates arrive when they are ready, conversation fills the gaps, and the meal builds as the evening does. There is no prescribed order, no single portion. Just good food and good company.

Made from scratch, every day

Barzaari Restaurant makes its pita and falafel in-house daily. Barzaari cooks its meats over real charcoal, using the same slow fire that Eastern Mediterranean cooks have used for centuries. Barzaari sources fresh seafood and treats it simply, letting quality ingredients carry the dish.

The menu at Barzaari spans the full Eastern Mediterranean spread: charcoal-grilled meats and lamb, fresh seafood, house-made dips and falafel, vibrant vegetable dishes and traditional desserts. Every dish is designed to travel from the kitchen to the centre of the table and be pulled apart by whoever is sitting there.
