Al Aseel Restaurant Penrith 72 Batt Street, Jamisontown, New South Wales 2750

"As per usual... Amazing food, service and ambience. It also looked like they took on feedback from the past where the music was too loud, it was so much nicer this time.While the prices are much higher than the typical Lebo restaurant located in South West Sydney, you get what you pay for through the service and ambience too."

"We dined here on a Monday night so was quite with not many diners. Restaurant was clean and well appointed. Sat promptly at a table , but unfortunately was waiting for 20 mins plus to order. Then when we went to order was told the whole table needed the banquet when on the menu it does not state this only mentions 4 plus people need to have. (Owner fix this if this is correct and don’t falsely advertise or train your staff.) Then when we spoke to the second staff member on (only step staff working ) she advised we could do it. So we ordered. Then our food came before drinks as there was no communication between staff for drinks orders as there was only two staff. Lucky the food was delicious and fresh and just what the birthday girl wanted. The service was disgusting and highly unprofessional. When we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and point to the birthday girl the staff member said that’s nice. Not even wishing a happy birthday for offering dessert for her. Would I recommend to others, food yea but would advise the person of the service. Would I be back , not in a hurry plenty of other restaurants to try for this sort of food and hopefully better service."

"The food is always tasty here and the variety is great. The restaurant wasn’t very busy or full and all patrons were scattered throughout the restaurant which looked like it made it challenging for the 2 floor staff to meet the needs of us and others. It took a while to order drinks because it was difficult to get the attention of any staff member. As we were finishing our meal the volume of the music in the restaurant changed dramatically as happy birthday screamed over the speakers. This continued for quite some time and it got louder; we were dining with an autistic adult who was visibly impacted by the volume of the music and once again there were no staff members in sight to ask for support. Finally one of the young women looked in our direction and noticed our discomfort and approached us to check in. We were grateful for her concern and for checking in. Whilst we understand that autism looks different for each individual and responses are unique also I’d like to share that the volume of the music was uncomfortable to us also and we are not autistic. I feel like I need to mention that I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who is autistic and/or sensitive to loud sounds or music."

"Amazing and clean Lebanese restaurant with top notch service. We had the 'Feast' banquet and was treated to delicious and generous portions of hummus, baba ganoush, Tabouli, fatoush, kibbe, sambousek, falafel, kafta mishwe, shish tawook, laham mishwe, batata bi kizbara and mansaf rice. Our kids also ordered off the kids menu which was great! We will definitely visit again soon!"

"Great service and beautiful food! We particularly loved the chicken wings and the prawns. Absolutely popping with flavour and so fresh!"
