Established Lebanese restaurant Al Aseel is opening a restaurant at Parramatta while Malaysian chain Mamak is expanding in the heart of the CBD.
Al Aseel, famed for its authentic Middle Eastern fare, will open outside the CBD at the corner of Macarthur St and Victoria Rd, while Mamak could call Parramatta Square home after recently submitting a development application to Parramatta Council.
Mamak will please fans of Malaysian street food named after the roadside stalls of Kuala Lumpur, with Indian and Malay traditional dishes on offer.
The development proposes to be on the ground floor of the square’s tallest buildings — 6 and 8 — and will have capacity for 114 people and operate between Monday and Sunday from 7am to midnight.
Outside the CBD, a licensed Al Aseel will open its popular restaurant, adding to its venues at Greenacre, Penrith, Bankstown, Castle Hill and Alexandria.
“Parramatta is a very important area and it’s a city by itself and we’re trying to expand in different locations,’’ Al Aseel’s Fady Ibrahim said.
“I think the area needs a restaurant like our restaurant; the authentic Lebanese food is a real must in that area. Parramatta, Merrylands, Granville, there is lots of Lebanese population and different nationalities in that area who like authentic Lebanese food.
“Whatever you’re eating at Al Aseel you’re getting the pure Lebanese taste. That’s why people, even from different nationalities, like their food. They feel the freshness of food and high quality — we never compromise the quality.’’
