Overview
Just ten months ago, it was announced that Kensington Street Social — the Chippendale restaurant by celebrity chef Jason Atherton — was closing its doors and being replaced by Barzaari. Now, its eastern Mediterranean successor is following suit and shutting up shop for good on Saturday, August 31.
The short-lived Chippendale restaurant is Sydney's second outpost of Barzaari, with the still-open original launching in Marrickville back in 2016. Its closure was announced today in a statement from the company, saying "owners Andrew Jordanou and Darryl Martin will place their full focus on their original Barzaari Restaurant in Marrickville".
The inner city restaurant is known for its charred vegetables and slow-cooked meats (coming out of the woodfired oven), pillowy breads (perfect for wiping through dips) and all-you-can-eat falafel feasts (for just $20) — all of which you can still enjoy for another 18 days, mind you.

Barzaari also currently looks after the food menus at The Clare and The Old Clare Rooftop bars, but when it closes A1 Canteen will take over. No new plans have been announced for the space just yet, but we'll let you know when they are.
