About Zayt & Zaatar- est 2016 (West Lakes)

Tucked away in West Lakes, Zayt & Zaatar serves generous Lebanese feasts without the haul into central Adelaide. The kitchen leans into charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, warm flatbread, and cold mezze meant for passing across crowded tables. Patrons tend to rally around the multi-course Junieh Banquet or the Mountain of Lebanon spread—pairing spiced platters with Lebanese beer or a housemade lemonade.

  • Shared banquets: Communal spreads like the Junieh Banquet pair cold mezze dips and warm flatbread with charcoal-grilled lamb skewers and kofta.
  • West Lakes alternative: Full-service Lebanese dining tucked near the West Lakes library, bypassing trips into the city centre.
