Price: Expensive
• Middle Eastern • Potts Point
Booked 25 times today
Ezra brings the vibe of the Eastern Med to Potts Point. Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours have been whipped together – Sydney style. Combining fresh produce with punchy flavours. There’s cold beers, spritzy cocktails and plenty of juicy wines both natural + nostalgic. Join us inside, up at the counter or outside in one of our two courtyards. Share some plates and have some fun.We don't like to play favourites but you should DEFINITELY try the Hazelnut Muhammara (blitzed red pepper dip topped with a sprinkling of pomegranate, roast hazelnuts, coffee grinds and native honey). Pair it with one of our Jerusalem Bagels (baked like a baby sourdough [rather than boiled] and brushed with pomegranate molasses before it gets popped in the oven). The pumping soundtrack will take you on many journeys but at its heart-and-soul it's really all about your favourite 90s-sing-along-pop-power-ballads 🎶We're just around the corner from the Coke Sign and 2 mins from Kings Cross Station.

    Loved the vibe of this small but amazing place tucked down a side street but just a short stroll from our hotel. Toby(?) was incredibly helpful and the food and cocktails perfect for 2 weary travellers after long days of walking around a hot city We lived it down much that we came back again the following evening Highly recommend as a real hidden gem and perfect Aussie hospitality from start to finish
