"This place gets going early in the morning, serving tradies and cops on their way to work. Pizzas and other bread snacks are lined up ready to be heated, hit with lemon juice and chilli flakes if desired and wrapped to go.
The meat pizza ($4.00) is topped with a finely pounded mix of minced lamb, tomato and salt and packs a bigger flavour punch than its humble appearance would suggest. Try the saj ($3.00), a huge disc of thin bread sprinkled with za'atar – oregano, salt, sesame seeds and sumac – then rolled into a cylinder." Read the full article here. |

"Head straight for the saj, a thin flatbread stretched out to about 30cm wide that’s cooked on a domed griddle called a – you guessed it – saj. The simplest version is cheap and delicious, brushed with olive oil and sprinkled generously with za’atar, a mix of dried oregano, thyme, salt and sesame seeds.
It’ll set you back a mere three bucks but we recommend you go for broke and get it with the lot. The army of women huddled in the kitchen at the back will roll it up with fresh tomato slices, black olives, mint leaves and a slather of yoghurt for $4.50. Read the full article here |

The locals are in on it. There’s a passing parade of tradies, mums, school kids and hungry teens traipsing through here all day. On-site parking is a bonus too. The ovens start cranking way before dawn with the shop open from 5.30am – perfect for early risers and the really late stumblers home.
There are a handful of tables inside and out, but most people are here for takeaway. Grab a bottle of salted yoghurt drink from the fridge and you’ll still have change from a tenner." Read the full article here. |
