Wilson's - Redfern

Decided to stop in here with friends to give it a try. Good choices for all with varying meats and vegetarian options. A bit dirty out the back in the toilets.

What a great treat to have really good Lebanese food. The mezze starter was to die for and the main courses were great. Our daughter had the vegetarian egg plant dish which was really tasty. I had a lamb dish which was also great. The staff were really helpful. The place does sell wine but is also BYO

The only thing close to Lebanese about this place is probably the owners. The food is nowhere close to authentic Lebanese and the food is not even close to to other Lebanese restaurants. We ordered the meat platter and our first reaction was underwhelming for the size. The taste was average. The next dish was the chicken shawarma on a plate. This was absolute let down. The rice was plain jasmine rice ( Asian) and what appeared to be stir fried chicken. We couldn't complete the meal as it didn't taste good. We were excited to try this place and the prices on the menu seemed quite reasonable by Sydney standards and now we know why. The price compliments the food. As a Lebanese cuisine lover, this place was a let down.

I have been dining at Wilson's for over 30 years now and the food is both delicious and authentic. I used to live in the area, so have been to most of the Lebanese restaurants in Cleveland St and I've never had better food at any of them. If having swish decor is important then it may not be for you - the interior has remained essentially unchanged in all the time I've been going there -but if the deliciousness of the food is key, it's perfect. The fried cauliflower and chicken shwarma are superb and I recently tried an eggplant tomato dish which is a new favourite. Our family of five love it!

We have been going to Wilson's for 10 to 15 years in that time it has only had 2 owners food is excellent, best to eat early as later in the night it can get busy. The deco has not changed much over the years family owned and run added to the charm Byo or buy their very nice restaurant and reasonable price.Highly Recommend
