jasmin1

amazing food and despite of being very busy, amazing service too. i just love the chicken (with note spicy) and the bread. will highly recommend.

decided to try out jasmine1 for a weeknight dinner with 2 friends. i ordered the lemon garlic chicken, and my friends ordered a mixed plate and a lamb plate. the three of us were happy with our dishes! my lemon garlic chicken was great however i think if i had to have eaten any more the lemon garlic would have just been too busy. the lamb was also delicious and very tender. the mixed plate was a very generous serving compared to other lebanese restaurants that charge almost double the price. value for meal is great and service is pleasant.

amazing low cost food ... worth the price. ambience can be better. but for the price they are offering food ambience doesn't matter. 
must try dishes are chicken shawarma and humus.
value for every buck we spent.staff can be a bit more polite and friendly and smiling.

a nice lebanese food joint in auburn having good food in good price. we have tried lemon garlic chicken and mix bbq platter along  and both were good in taste. complimentary arabic tea on the top was  awesome. the place have plenty of sitting space, still quite crowded in off peak hours as well. parking is another issue over there.

not the prettiest looking restaurant, or friendliest staff... but the food, amazing. we drive 45min to eat here. the mixed plates are done to perfection. everything is fresh and delicious.

where do i begin with this lebanese eating house?!
when you first take a step into this restaurant it's just crammed with seats. that's the first thing that catches your eyes.

human bodies just sitting on the patio at the front of the restaurant that is covered by plastic weather protection stuff (can't find the words to describe it to you) like a makeshift extension, just feels claustrophobic. when you actually make it into the restaurant itself, it is pretty much the same scenario. the place, chocker block full of tables crammed in so close to each other. the atmosphere of this place is... a sense of crowdedness, plate cluttering and lots of noise, but after a while it begins to sounds like bad background noise that you block out.
trying to flag the wait staff was a challenge as we quickly became aware that... service is bit non existent in this place, but managed to catch the eye of a wait staff working there, asked for a table for two and was directed to x table 15, which was at the back of the restaurant in a corner near a door that led into another room/area of the restaurant (i assumed this was a function room, as there was a birthday dinner there) as it turned out, this table was the worst... why? because it happened to be the nut sack and belly gut table. quickly discovered that oversized men (if you could call them that) walked past the table, almost knocking the food off the table with their gut and groin. was so off putting. we had to push the plates in so that these individuals wouldn't inadvertently bump our meals when they were walking pass our table, due to the narrow walk way.
apart from that...
this place was a great dining experience and i can see why there were many expanding waist lines.
we ordered the number 2 banquet (it's a minimum of 2ppl) did not realise the portion of this banquet meal! holy moly it was massive! we hardly made a dent in the food before we got full.
there were three meat types; 2 skewers each. two salads, three dips, pickled vegetables, lebanese bread, falafel and some other fried stuff. it was insane!
do they really think two people could eat that much! it was so well worth it though. at $25 per head, it out weighed our expectations. the meat was just tender and ingredients so fresh! to top it off, they gave us free containers to take the left overs home to be consumed later. waste not want not.
for $50 for two we walked out with a big grin and a very full stomach. this place is well worth a visit. will be back to try other things there. it's so cheap! it's unbelievable

if youre hungry and low on cash then you definitely need to go to jasmine, one of the cheaper and extremely filling and tasty places ive ever been to. the mixed platter is amazing, large portions of meat and you're bound to leave full. love the garlic sauce and the skewers (especially the lamb)

this place has set the bar so high for all other leb restaurants. service, food and price - all on point. 

food comes quickly and in huge portions, everything tastes so fresh and authentic. falafel is light, crispy and warm and dips are full of flavour without being too creamy and overpowering. tabouli is lemony and juicy, unlike all the other dry and bland ones served at other places (ahem leichardt jasmin). they also let you make variations to the mixed plates (unlike leichardt jasmin!) at no extra cost.

service is fast, bringing out water and complimentary bread + pickles within 5 mins of being seated. they're also more than happy to bring you a 2nd round of free cinnamon tea.

we come here at least twice a week, always walk out of here happily stuffed and have never paid more than $36 for 2 ppl. out of all the jasmins, the auburn one is hands down by far the best.

how is it that we have driven past this place so many times and never tried it?! does anyone know how amazing the complementary starters are? (mixed plate of pickles, mint, chilli, tomato and onions plus garlic dip and a basket of lebanese bread!!) or how glorious the mixed seafood plate is? how affordable it is????

for all my incredulity i had a fantastic experience here. the mixed seafood plate was very filling: the marinated bbq prawns were delicious, the calamari rings crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the eggplant dip just so multidimensional in flavour and the tabouli so fresh and tangy. and shared between two as well... $11.50 each, not bad. not bad at all 😎

service was great, the waitress brought out this sweet tea with cinnamon and cloves(?)

yum can't w8 to go back tbh fam

edit: went back. got the fish and prawn plate this time. couldn't finish all of it, fried cauliflower was amazing, decent serving of prawns!!! fresh and zingy fattoush, wonderfully seasoned chips. brother had the chicken shawarma and he loved it.
ps: try the turkish tea. amazing, bye

i have a lebanese background and i'm probably the most fussy critic when it comes to our cultural food because i've traveled to lebanon and i guess you could say ive had the real deal + my mums amazing cooking all the time.

for the quality of food, plus prices, portion sizes and overall hospitality you get at jasmines i have to give it 5 stars. i absolutely loved it. i've been a few times now and i always order all dishes minus the meat dishes because i'm a vegetarian. although i don't eat meat i know for a fact my boyfriend absolutely devoured his!! he gave the food two thumbs up as well. i love the complimentary mezza, bread and yummy tea. it's a very traditional casual dining lebanese restaurant. just awesome :)

my wife and i decided to go somewhere we usually don't go the other week and ended up at jasmine 1 in auburn. we've visited jasmine in leichardt, the home of italians, but never jasmine in auburn, the home of lebanese, indians, pakistanis and other middle eastern cultures. a little closer to the real deal hey?

the restaurant was packed with locals, people were waiting outside even though customer turnover was thick and fast. the moment my wife and i walked through the door we knew we weren't going to be disappointed. the moment we sat down, out came the flat bread, garlic dip and pickles. within ten minutes of ordering our mixed plate (18.00) and garlic chicken (13.00) the food arrived. the mixed plate was stacked with beautiful meats - barbecued chicken, beef and lamb kofte sat on a plate of smoky baba ganoush, lemony hommous and tabouli. kibbe and falafel was also included. garlic chicken speaks for itself. yummm!

staff were lightning fast and ultra friendly to us, bringing us small glasses of cardamom tea and offering more bread and pickles. jasmine 1 doesn't have the most glamorous interior but the food is gorgeous. fantastic value. will be back in the near future to try other dishes.

food was great ! the portions are unbelievable for the price you pay !! love the lamb shank ! and also the sambusas are to die for ! love the lamb filling in the sambusas and the flaky pastry on the outiside ! so good ! service wasn't bad either ! such a great meal 😁

visited for dinner on nye before a big night at home watching movies.
my husband is lebanese so i'm well aware of some of the "no nonsense" type of restaurants where it's all about the food and not much else. this is one of those places.
we ordered our usual dishes when eating lebanese of meat sambousik, felafel, shish tawook, fattoush, lamb shawarma, etc
food was prompt and lovely. nice and tasty and generous. loved the sambousik especially and hubby enjoyed the shawarma.
3 of us ate allot and paid $80.

the food at jasmine is and always will be the best food i ever tasted it has amazing flavours which will blow your taste buds away overall i love jasmine and it will always be a fun place for family's

garlic sauce ninja'd !!!

grilled meats of lamb, chicken and beef. moist and flavourful with heaps of sides and lebanese bread. $17 for the mix plate but we had a groupon voucher so its $24 for 2x mix platter, small piece of sweet and their sweet spiced tea, we were stuffed and happy.

the meat were moist and flavourful which was great and some considered it healthy .... until next time .... keep eating !!!
