Overview
Hall Street really has it all. The bustling Bondi Street adds to its string of recent new openings, with Henrietta, the beloved Middle Eastern charcoal chicken chain, setting up shop just in time for the summer.
Henrietta has already won over hearts in Surry Hills and Parramatta with its smoky flavours and fresh ingredients, and with its healthy food and feel-good energy, it's sure to be an easy fit for Bondi. Ibrahim Moubadder, Co-founder of ESCA Group, says, "Bondi has always been a natural fit for Henrietta; we've just been waiting for the right location. Now we've found it, right in the heart of Hall Street. Henrietta is approachable and the menu is vibrant, fresh and delicious; perfect for the Bondi lifestyle. We can't wait to bring a taste of Henrietta beachside."
Henrietta's hero is its charcoal chicken, which has been amped up with a new secret 24-hour marinade, that Executive Chef Ibrahim Kasif says, "really celebrates the flavour of the charcoal. It's all about honouring simplicity and elevating it with craft." Alongside the charry chicken, Kasif showcases Lebanese cuisine with Aussie flair, with an array of mezze, salads, bowls, sides, wraps and burgers.
Start with their renowned hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and fresh cucumber labneh, all mopped up with Lebanese bread. Snack on eggplant fatteh, kibbe nayyeh, crisp falafel, fattoush salad and barbecued corn with Aleppo butter and shanklish cheese. For mains, alongside the mandatory charcoal chicken, there's also lamb kofta, and lamb or chicken shish skewers, accompanied by cous cous with za'atar roast beetroot, cauliflower with tahini, lentil Mujadara rice and plenty of other salads and vegetables. You can also get your chicken in a wrap, or try it fried in a burger with slaw and chilli sauce.
Suited for the Bondi audience, Kasif has introduced a paleo bowl, with chicken breast, kale, spinach, sweet potato, broccoli, pickled zucchini and cranberries. He says, "Our new range of salads are vibrant and healthy, designed to balance the richness of the charcoal and make the table feel abundant; they might even steal the show!"
