Kazbah on Darling (379 Darling Street, Balmain). So this is a super late post from uh sometime last year… As far as i can tell everything is still on the menu but might not look the same? Things are a little crazy atm ive been baking frantically with the leadup to xmas, organising and packing for trip to singapore next fri and of course the planning of the wedding. But anyways enough about me. Kazbah is famed for its breakfasts. And the queues. Be sure to book.


Kazbah’s Mixed Mezze Plate ($38 for 2people)- Hommos, Babaganouj, Taramasalata with Turkish bread, Char-Grilled Octopus, Char-Grilled Quail with Pomegranate Sauce, Fattoush Salad and uh i have no idea what the deep fried pile in the corner was.. or in the bowl. But i know everything was tasty because we were fighting over who got dibs on the straggly bits. The quail and the octopus portions were quite small but were the most prized components. The salad was refreshing and the dips so moreish.


Grilled Cypriot Halloumi ($12). How can you not love slabs of squeaky cheese?


Breakfast Tagine of Lamb Mince, Sucuk, Spinach, Roast Capsicum, Roast Tomato, Caramelised Onion, Feta, Eggs ($18 p.p we ordered 3 serves). Sadly we had missed out on the breakfast banquet and so the boys demanded something with meat. And behold! A monster breakfast! This tagine was so freaking huge we were worried we wouldn’t be able to eat the other tagine we’d ordered. Cubes of salty feta and glorious soft poached eggs sit atop a mountain of mince where a tangled mess of spinach and sweet onion lie beneath. It doesn’t look big in the picture but zomg So. Much. Mince.


Breakfast Tagine of Roast Pumpkin, Spinach, Roast Capsicum, Roast Tomato, Caramelised Onion, Feta, Eggs, Turkish Toast, Lebanese Bread ($18 p.p we ordered 3 serves). Not wanting meat so early in the morning i had lobbied for the vego version and am incredibly happy with the amount of pumpkin hiding under the spinach and eggs. i love pumpkin! We were so incredibly full that we don’t get to eat desserts but we shall be back for the breakfast banquet!

1. Omg!! I love Kazbah, their breakfast tagine’s are amazing. I was actually just talking to a friend last night about a revisit to this place!! Mm I love pumpkin too!!
