Samaras Wollongong Lebanese & Mediterranean

After a long day at Jamberoo Action Park, our group of 8 was looking for a solid meal to end the day. We noticed the great reviews for Samaras and decided to try our luck. Despite walking in without a reservation at 7 PM on the last Saturday of the year, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and managed to seat our large party immediately. They were incredibly accommodating; when we got a bit chilly sitting by the sliding door, they closed it for us without hesitation. The service was impressively fast—food was on the table by 7:30 PM. After a day of theme park snacks, the fresh, authentic flavors were exactly what we needed. We ordered: - 2x Mixed Grills for Two ($59.90 ea) - Perfectly cooked and generous. - Mixed Dips ($18.90) & Falafel side ($14.90). - Drinks ($4.50 ea). The total came to $174.35 (including the weekend surcharge and card fee), which is very reasonable for 4 adults, 2 teens, and 2 kids. Having previously visited Al Amir in Fairy Meadow nearby which was also good, we can confidently say Samaras exceeded our expectations. To the management and staff: thank you for the wonderful service and high standards. We’ll definitely be back and will be recommending you to friends!

Best restaurant I have ever found for vegetarians! Everything is made fresh in house with the highest quality ingredients. Family owned for years, incredibly friendly staff, great service and caters for all sorts of diets. Superb!!!
