Mecca Bah

In the bustling heart of Sydney's Darling Harbour, Mecca Bah is a vibrant oasis that'll whisk you straight to the heart of the Middle East and Mediterranean with just one bite.

Walk in, and you're met by décor that blends the exotic with the contemporary. Plush cushions and intricate patterns welcome diners to get comfy while the warm glow of hanging lanterns sets up an enchanting evening. The atmosphere is electric, buzzing with conversation and aromatic scents of spices in the air.

Start with stone-baked bread, garlic pizza, and za'atar man'ouche - a love affair for the senses, especially when complemented with the house-made trio of dips. Dive into the mezze selection for treasures like wild dukkah prawns and lamb sigara boureks, each dish bursting with flavour as a tribute to the regions that inspire them. The sticky spiced wings give a playful tease for the palate, a warm-up to the main show.

The tagines are the spotlight acts, with apricot and Moroccan lamb shanks slow-cooked to sheer perfection, and the sesame and honey-glazed chicken mixing sweet with savoury in a masterpiece. For drinks, let the knowledgeable staff help choose the perfect match, whether it’s a strong red to accompany your tagine or a refreshing cocktail to mellow out the spices' warmth. With every sip and every bite, Mecca Bah guarantees an experience as rich and layered as the cultures it represents.
