Teta Mona restaurant

We visited Teta Mona for dinner with friends for some rustic Lebanese food. This is very much aiming to showcase home style cooking and the restaurant atmosphere has the same relaxed vibe. They also allow byo in continuing the casual relaxed theme (but I didn’t care for the credit card surcharge). Food wise it’s a heavy style cuisine but I really enjoyed the dips and the standout for me was probably the slow cooked lamb with buttered almonds. The pita chips gave it a really nice textural crunch also. Friendly service is worth mentioning too

The shared banquet is definitely the way to go. The selection of dishes on offer is impressive, and by the end of our meal, we were stuffed. We started with the fattouch and shanklish salata, both of which were good salads, but I couldn't help wishing they had been served alongside the mains, rather than as starters. For our main dishes, we opted for the barramundi and falafel, which turned out to be the highlights of the meal. The barramundi was cooked to perfection, and the falafel was everything you could want it to be, although I would have appreciated a greater variety of dips to pair it with. Moving on to our mains, the pulled chicken and slow-cooked lamb were both excellent, bursting with flavor. However, I found the presentation a bit busy and cluttered, with too much food crammed into small bowls. Despite this small critique, the overall experience was fantastic. The cozy ambiance and friendly service made us feel right at home, and we're already looking forward to our next visit

Definitely the most delicious restaurant either my wife and I have ever eaten in Australia and arguably the best we've ever eaten anywhere! The flavours, the freshness and pairings were ridiculously good with friendly and comfortable service. The ice rose water is something special to top it off. Not over powering at all and adds a perfect, balance cleanse to the food. If travelling through Melbourne, I can't recommend Teta Mona highly enough!

What a great place! Our friends chose this place for a mid week meal. The staff were super friendly and the food very tasty! We had a set banquet and added in the extra meatballs after seeing photos of them on google reviews. Everything was great, can’t fault this place:) The also have a small selection of pickles and condiments for sale at the front, of you like the food have a look… Strongly recommend:)
