Colombo Social 

This social enterprise is doing a whole lot of good and they’re making some pretty incredible food whilst they’re at it. If you’re a lover of Sri Lankan flavours then a visit to Colombo Social is bound to be a treat. The restaurant provides employment to Sri Lankan asylum seekers and also provides free meals to asylum seekers in need. On top of their incredible work, you’ll find plenty of fragrant curries on the menu alongside all the hoppers, roti and Sambols you can eat.

Bar Louise

With one of the coolest visages in Sydney – courtesy of the old Mary-Louise Salon – Bar Louise is a chic tapas and wine bar from the same people that brought us Porteno, Continental Deli and Bastardo. Expect tapas, house-cured and preserved snacks and an extensive collection of wine and spirits. Our favourite cocktails stick with the venue’s Spanish flair: sangria and kalimotxo and surprising Spanish classic that combines red wine and Coca Cola.

Cairo Takeaway 

Next time you fancy food without fuss, head to Cairo Takeaway where authentic Egyptian street food is yours for feasting. Pop by for some lunch on the go – the falafel pocket is our pick – or sit in and enjoy plates of slow-cooked fava beans, lentils and rice, spiced mince flatbread and endless cups of black tea with mint.

Emma’s Snack Bar

Emma’s Snack Bar is a charming eatery that perfectly melds the time-honoured traditions of Lebanese cuisine with a modern twist. And they do it sensibly, creating an inviting, affordable, and ever-so-welcoming dining haven. Enmore locals adore it, and food enthusiasts travel from near and far to devour the delectable mezze and the homemade kebabs. The decor nods to nostalgia, and the menu encourages a leisurely exploration, inviting you to share delicious moments with family and friends around a communal table.

Faheem Fast Food 

Faheem Fast Food has well-surpassed cult status with its affordable curries and tandoori chicken. Popular with people after a late-night feed, Faheem’s is open until 9:30pm. As low-key and no-frills as it gets, Faheem don’t have a social presence, but their reputation proceeds them nonetheless!
