Delightful food and in abundance that we were encouraged to take home the left overs enough for another meal. We also enjoyed the merlot and we’re well attended by our Columbian waitress (or is that waiter nowadays).

Had a good time at Zahli's with friends. Only complaint is that the music was too loud at times.

Food and service was fantastic last night 19 March . We’d love to come in a quieter you night as there was a big table of loud girls which rather spoilt the night. So convenient to the Belvoir so we will he back soon .

We had a fabulous night. Yummy food and excellent service. We chose the Mediterranean banquet; what a bargain. Loads & loads of good quality, tasty food. Remember to leave room for the meat. Highlights for me were the baba ganoush, fried cauliflower and chicken and beef skewers. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good food no doubt about that however just a tad pricey for main (mixed grill plate or just grilled meats ) as you get nothing but the meat on the stick no salad no veggie nothing. Looks bare compared to other middle eastern restaurants. I would pay a little bit more to have it look more exciting - even some rice would be more appealing

Excellent food and service. One of our friends had special dietary needs and the waitress could not have been more helpful in confirming what she could and couldn't eat. Possibly the best Middle Eastern restaurants in inner Sydney.

If you have not eaten at Zhali, do yourself a favour and go. Make sure you have plenty of room for food though as the Zhali banquet is a sight to behold. Great food and reasonably priced wine make this a place we will return to.

The best thing about this place is the food. The service was good but not overwhelmingly so. The waitress mentioned they were very busy although we noted it only about 60% full. Regardless the staff were friendly. The owner is a lovely man who personally speaks to all his guests to make sure they are happy with their meal. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful spot this may not be the one for you. Birthday's turn the place albeit very briefly into a disco & a bellydancer entertains towards the end of the evening in a cacophony of sound. Conversation at this point is almost impossible. We had an enjoyable evening with great food.
