Almond Bar's Big Syrian BBQ
Join a new family for the day at this big Syrian feast.
Overview
Darlinghurst's Almond Bar is inviting Sydneysiders 'round again this Sunday, April 10 for their Big Syrian BBQ — a traditional homage to the Middle Eastern barbecues celebrated by the culture of sister-owners Sharon and Carol Salloum.
It's guaranteed to be a family affair, showcasing traditional recipes cooked from their father's three homemade barbecues — think lamb skewers rubbed in Arabic 'seven spices' and sides including baba ghanoush and tabouli. This delicious feast isn't limited to meat-lovers; the vegetarian option is a caring and thoughtful nod to any non-carnivorous patrons, of which Darlinghurst has many.
Plates are twenty dollars a pop and the event will be held, rain or shine, in the laneway behind the restaurant. If you don't come from a big family, this is your chance to adopt one for a day, with all patrons guaranteed to be treated like "cousins". It's a chow-down you won't want to miss.
