jasmin1

well there are a few jasmine 1 restaurants in sydney, i have been to all of them and tried pretty much all of there delicacies. undoubtedly, this one is the best among them. from the quality of food to service and ambience it just hits the right chords.

there lebanese mixedplatecomes with sheesh kebab, well grilled tender chicken breast, kafta, baba ghanush and hommus dressed with olive oil is sure to excite your taste buds, fatteh with chicken is just perfect toppled with pine nuts cooked with yoghurt served with veges on the side, don't miss the fattoush salad which is a traditional lebanese salad quite colourful , crunchy with full of tangy flavour to it, add to that there complimentary black tea made in arabian style. ola!!! that's sure to make you fall in love with the lebanese cuisine.

the ambience is good. cost vice they are quite cheap comparatively. mandi here is not worth trying, save yourself.

situated in auburn, jasmin is your place to go for quality turkish/lebanese food. we went on a saturday evening, the place was packed and more people were waiting to get in (always a good sign).

we ordered the chicken shish tawook (succulent chicken, cooked to perfection) and a mixed plate. the mixedplatecontained a chicken shish, a lamb kefta, a lamb kebab, hummus, baba ghanouj, 2 falafels and some tabouli. all this was served with pre-cut fresh lebanese bread, salad and garlic sauce. the lamb kebabs were very moist and a delight to eat. the falafel was not over fried and spiced just right. there was a lot of food for the two of us, but the quality of food was such that we had no trouble finishing it. we ended the meal with the complimentary sweet, black tea which was a great way to end a fabulous meal.

one word of caution though: if you are going here on a weekend, the place will be noisy.. no, very noisy. you can't really dine in peace, but the quality of food makes up for the commotion.

good service, decent food at a very reasonable price. tried the mixedplateand free cinnamon tea, overall it's better than i had hoped as i am not a regular consumer of middle eastern food. the environment is nothing fancy but seems generally clean.

ordered: sambousik (lamb mince patties, $12 from 7), fattoush salad ($10), chips ($6), mixed platter with lamb and chicken ($22) and medium mashawiplate($30) with complimentary bread/pickles. i love the diy and communal aspect of lebanese food. if i’m honest, i couldn’t differentiate what meats were what, but it all tasted good to me. nothing in particular stood out, but everything complemented each other really well and made for an enjoyable meal. all this food feeds about 5-6 ppl.

came here for a weekend lunch. the place was quite when we came but soon it was full of customers.
dish ordered: mixedplate(skewers).
portion was quite generous and everything tasted delightful.
parking space might be tricky during busy time and there’s extra charge if you pay by credit card (didn’t see any sign about the extra charge so i realised about it when i saw the receipt).

ive always liked lebanese food, but this place is like truly lebanese. i loved the meshawi mixedplatethat had kebabs/kofte .. personally i lived the one with chicken.
the staff is extremely polite and sweet. even though i bothered then quite a few timeस, they answered each of my questions very well and helped me place my order.
i ordered the fatteh which was chickpea and yogurt. i like the taste but it was a little less spicy for my taste.
the falafel was amazing and very filling.

mind you their portion size is large and do not order too much food at once becauee you might end up taking it home for dinner!

my favourite was the garlic sauce that they served along with. it was just the best thing!

for dessert i had baklava and i was surprised to see they had ladies finger baklava as well! their cinnamon tea is free for the first round and tastes great with the baklava.

overall, my experience was fabulous and i'm definitely going back for a gorgeous shawarma asap!

best chicken i have ever had in sydney.
the restaurant is so busy when i walked in, yet the owner offer great service and food was delivered in a short time with very nice service.
unfortunately, my phone died so i could not take a few pictures. for the record, i happily finished the mixedplate(all chicken) and grilled eggplant/cauliflower all by myself.

if you ever heard of the expression “looks can be deceiving” well i tell you what jasmin1 is just that .
it’s middle eastern cuisine at its best. our gang hit the streets of auburn on a fine weekday evening and came across jasmin1. let me tell you straight parking is no fun at this place. space is limited so public transport would be good option. you won’t think much about the restaurant when you see it from the outside but don’t turn back yet . we got a table straightaway and started ordering our good. we ordered the chicken shawarma, lamb shawarma and mixedplateas we wanted to try everything.
the mixedplatewas yumm, the combination of kafta, shish kebabs and falafel along with garlic , baba ghanoush (egg plant) and hummus was heavenly.
we thoroughly enjoyed it. the chicken and lamb shawarma was awesome not to mention the pickled vegetables. we also had a jug of ayraan , yoghurt drink which very soothing followed by a sweet black tea.
the whole experiences as a reminder of the dubai street food scene which i miss dearly.i left very envious about the plight of sydneysiders as they have authentic lebanese dishes at their doorstep.
lucky !!!

kabseh fish : 😁 great
mixedplate: 😍 amazing
fattouch : 😍 amazing
service : 😁 great

beautiful food and great service. you can smell the deliciousness of the food from outside. absolutely loved the meats on the mixed plate. everything was cooked perfectly and some meats even had that smoky taste to it. tabouli was a little sour for us but still paired well when eaten with everything else.

once you tried their food especially their meat platter you will definitely coming back. my favourite is their mixedplateso i have bits and pieces of everything. their chicken and lamb is my top pick. it is very tasty and tender. they have a complimentary tea once you finish your meal. we always go here every friday and it is always packed which means food is really good!

very delicious lebanese food and great value. the mixedplateis huge and comes with falafel and kibbe on top of the usual mixedplatefare. the falafel is freshly fried, and delicious.

 be sure to grab the (free) cinnamon tea as part of the meal.

the car park fills up very quickly, but there is generally reasonable turnover. make sure to reverse in, as people park all over the place

we went here for a meal a mixedplateand 3 chicken skewers. all up it should’ve been just $34 instead they charged us $51 on the credit card.
do not go here, if you want good honest service.

ordered the lamb shawarma and the mixed plate. service was prompt, the mixedplatemeats were delish (esp the chicken - so juicy!). even gave us complimentary tea of some sort which was so yum!

reasonably priced too. would return!

heard this restaurant n read its reviews decided to try it out on a monday night for dinner. this restaurant was empty being a weekday. its located walkable distance from auburn station. its very spacious.

we ordered the mixedplatefor starters which had the lamb skewer, kafta skewer, chicken skewer, falafel, kibbeh along with salad and hommus. it was pretty filling and tasty too. for mains we ordered the chicken shawarma with pita bread and salad. this too was good in quantity and quality too. we had to pack the shawarma as we were too full. they also served fragrant tea at the end of the meal which was tasty too with fragrance of cinnamon and other spices.

service was good and quick and pricing is good too for a whole meal and yet much more. lovely lebanese restaurant close to my home. will definitely go again to try more of their dished.

✔️ jasmin1 in leichhardt is good but this one i auburn is so much better !! after just coming back from lebanon, i have to say this restaurant had such great authentic lebanese food better than any of the restaurants i went to in lebanon. the service is always soo consistently quick at jasmin1. really nice mezza (cheese sambousek, kibbeh and fattoush). the dips (labne, hummus, baba ghanouj) were all to die for especially the baba ghanouj - so creamy and perfect smoky flavour. for main we ordered the mixedplatewhich was a perfect amount for 2, absolutely beautiful kafta and chicken. tender and so flavoursome. it was basically faultless. omg and i have to mention the prices - super affordable it's ridiculous for the quality of food. highly recommend this place for really quick and amazing lebanese food.

❌ the only thing i would fault with the food was the tabouli - pretty saltless and no lemon so the flavour wasn't great. the workers are not very friendly here - not rude but could be a little less cold.
