Great service and atmosphere. Francesco was great! Food was tasty. Must try the halloumi, duck and lamb neck shawarma.

Ranked #1 of 6,546 Restaurants in Sydney
Description: AALIA, located in the heart of Sydney, welcomes guests on a journey through the Middle East. The menu boasts a selection of dishes that showcase the beautiful Middle Eastern and North African regions of the world, flanked by oceans, rivers, and seas. The idea behind the menu is to start with a few raw dishes and mezze, followed by mains and sides, with each dish crafted to represent a particular region, or specific era of Arabian culture. We consciously consider the finest details of our service to ensure our guests enjoy a memorable experience. AALIA's interior organically emerges from Harry Seidler's original iconic MLC architecture. Sculptural architectural features, tactile materials and furnishings are used in perfect synergy to create intimate and relaxing spaces.

Had the pleasure of being served by Francesco who was amazing. For a moment i thought he was the chef with his excellent knowledge and recommendation from the menu. No regrets in choosing the lamb shawarma. Highly recommend for a night out either solo or in a group

Went for the pre-theatre dining option and were absolutely blown away. The service and food is exceptional. Will definitely be back for the full a-la-cart dining experience.
