The food was absolutely amazing the flavour stood out so much compared to other middle eastern restaurants there was something about it that gave that extra kick and it shows how food quality was such an important aspect of this little hidden gem. The staff member was amazing always checked in and made sure we were taken care of. Great customer service!! The vibes were very lovely for a date night or even girls night out! Definitely would recommend visiting!!

A fourth visit to Dukkah. The food is consistently delicious. A largish sized restaurant. Music played a little too loud, but not a deal breaker. It echoed throughout the premises. Wine prices on the high side, could do with some trimming.

The Lamb tagine was absolutely divine, well flavoured and melt in the mouth. Homemade dips and bread were fantastic too. The super loud disco tunes seemed a bit at odds with the general vibe, but we were sat outside so it didn’t really bother us.

I recently dined at Dukkah and was treated to a delightful culinary experience. The standout dish of the evening was undeniably the Lamb Tagine — a true masterpiece of flavors with supporting sides of Pilaf and Tabouleh. The service was attentive, and the staff exhibited a genuine passion for the cuisine they presented. The atmosphere was very quiet with only one other table at 6pm on a Sunday. This is a hidden gem and can easily become a go-to spot for those seeking both culinary excellence and a warm, inviting service.

I found Dukkah using the Happy Cow app as I wanted vegan choices and the menu looked good. I was in s party of 9 people and had booked online. There were several vegan and vege options and I chose the tagine which was delicious. Others in the group all enjoyed their food which included vege, meat and fish options. The restaurant was really busy from the moment it opened at 5pm and although they were short staffed, the service was friendly and welcoming. The cost was $41 each including drinks which I felt was good value for money for a really nice meal. I would recommend Dukkah.

Dukkah is a lovely place tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood. We were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Nothing to complain about, though it would be nice to see more patrons as it was very quiet the night we were there. We will be back.

Another staff member is needed. We waited 10 minutes at our table before we were asked for our drinks order. The takeaway orders were consuming too much of the staffs time. Lovely food, friendly staff and enjoyed the live music.

Service was a little slow and the meat was rather dry. Dips were delightful fresh and fill of taste.
