THERE’S something for everyone in the wide variety of dishes on offer in Surry Hills, with plenty to please the most fastidious of foodies. Here are 5 of the best.
1. MIXED BBQ PLATE
Once just a small corner shop Abdul’s has been serving some of the best Lebanese food since 1968. Three generations and an expansion later, Omar Ghazal continues the family business.
Abdul’s Restaurant, 563 Elizabeth St.
2. BOILED CRAB
Don your bibs and prepare to a take a fair crack at a tasty spread of boiled crabs coated in a variety of seasonings. Try it with Creole Butter for some traditional Cajun flavour.
House of Crabs, 1/305 Cleveland St.
3. GALUB JAMUN
This Indian dessert gets its name from the Persian words for “flower water” which is likely the scent from the rose water syrup that these deep fried, milk-solids dough balls are soaked in prior to eating . Maya Vegetarian, 480 Cleveland St.
4. GRILLED PORK
There is an element of theatre to Porteño . Argentinian grills are adjusted for height depending on the amount of heat required, while succulent pork is roasted for eight hours on a stake placed nearly perpendicular to the open fire pit. Porteno, 358 Cleveland St.
5. BIG DADDY’S BBQ PLATTER
Fridays can’t come soon for the $18 BBQ Platter. Definitely share this one, as there’s no skimping on the pulled pork, baby back ribs, hot wings, fried chicken and corn.
Parkside Diner & Grill at The Bat and Ball Hotel, 380 Cleveland St.
‘Beyond a fire sale’: Criniti’s stores sold for staggering price
Despite its whopping $19 million debt, the remaining Criniti’s stores, including Parramatta and Darling Harbour, have sold for a staggeringly low price in what one broker has described as ‘beyond a fire sale’.
‘I like big buns’: Wacky burgers with a difference
Parramatta’s very own Eat Street is as exciting and diverse as the city itself. Take BL Burgers for example, which brought its premium burgers — including the Blame Canada, Blame Indian and Mac Daddy burgers — to western Sydney.
