Lillah - A Middle Eastern Feast featuring Non-Alcoholic treats
Lillah's Restaurant in Lane Cove is a culinary gem that combines contemporary Australian cuisine with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Crafted with care and creativity, the menu features standout dishes that keep patrons returning for more. One of their signature dishes is the slow-cooked lamb shoulder, served with a sticky date jus and seasonal vegetables. The lamb is tender and flavorful, melting in your mouth with each bite. Another favorite is the Basturma Spiced beef tenderloin; for vegetarians, there is the Chick Pea Kibbe and Cauliflower Falafel. Complementing the delicious food are the fantastic non-alcoholic cocktails by Sammy Piquant. The restaurant's talented mixologist, Natalie, shines in every drink, with the "Za'artar Margarita" being a crowd-pleaser. This refreshing concoction blends Sammy Piquant's Oaxaca, a smoky, non-alcoholic Mezcal, with fresh lemon juices and an aromatic salted rim, creating a perfectly balanced drink that's both invigorating and sophisticated. Another standout is the "Arabian Sour," a vibrant mix of Sammy Piquant Jetsetter and pink grapefruit. Lilah's Restaurant is not just a place to eat; it's an experience that tantalises all the senses, thanks to its exceptional dishes and innovative non-alcoholic cocktails.
