AALIA, located in the heart of Sydney, welcomes guests on a journey through the Middle East. The menu boasts a selection of dishes that showcase the beautiful Middle Eastern and North African regions of the world, flanked by oceans, rivers, and seas. The idea behind the menu is to start with a few raw dishes and mezze, followed by mains and sides, with each dish crafted to represent a particular region, or specific era of Arabian culture. We consciously consider the finest details of our service to ensure our guests enjoy a memorable experience. AALIA’s interior organically emerges from Harry Seidler’s original iconic MLC architecture.

A friend suggested Aalia as he had dined here a few times, I live in Melbourne and wouldn’t have thought to go to Martin Place for dinner. I was not disappointed. I’m still thinking about the incredibly delicate Sea Urchin that we started with. The bone marrow dish was a flavor packed Middle Eastern pizza, with it’s crunchy base playing well with the soft marrow. The Murray cod was one of the best pieces of fish I have ever eaten. The desserts were delicious and not too sweet. The cocktails were on point and the service was fast and friendly. We ate more than I photographed. This was a well crafted menu of fantastic flavors and I will be returning.

I celebrated my birthday here recently and had the “express lunch” and it was 10/10. The food was phenomenal, service was great and overall fantastic atmosphere. The express lunch menu was perfect for a mid week birthday celebration. I will definitely be back and recommend this venue to all the foodies out there!

My favorite dish was their dessert, it was surprisingly good and not too sweet for someone like me not liking sweets that much. Also love their bread, a must order dish. Duck was good too, been there a few times. Loved every dish we ordered.

One of the BEST restaurants in Sydney, hands down. Every single dish was absolutely flavour packed, I can’t pick one thing I disliked about my time here. Will visit again and again.

Do not hesitate to book this wonderful restaurant, just off Martin Place. Bivit and Adrien were fabulous and did everything to make it a great experience; they’re an asset to this restaurant. The food was extraordinary, and the ambience was perfect. It’s exactly what we wanted for lunch before a show nearby.

One of Sydney’s most spectacular restaurants, by far. We dined mid-week with friends (first time for them, second for us) and were not disappointed. Food, wine and service – all exceptional. We chose from the ala carte menu – kingfish, haloumi, quail skewer (not pictured), crumbed dory, lamb neck shawarma with Lebanese zucchini and watercress salata as sides. Finished with dates and the Valrhona chocolate. Highly recommended to all! Will be back (again). Thanks Paul and team.

Amazing food and service. There were 5 of us and we opted to order off the menu. Everything is designed to be shared. We had the Smoked buffalo labneh, Eggplant, Lamb hawawshi, cuttlefish, dry aged duck, lamb neck shawarma, zucchini and artichokes. And for dessert the Valrhona chocolate. We also received complimentary nougat which was delicious. Will definitely be going back there.
