Tennis Dinner at Sahra By The River

After a long break, the Tennis Dinner returned at the Sahra Lebanese Restaurant by the river at Parramatta. In a rash move, we selected the Sultans Banquet and struggled to finish the food.

SULTANS BANQUET

Traditional hot and cold mezza plates, plus main
3 dips- hummus, labneh & baba ghanouj
2 salads fattoush and tabouli
olives and pickles
coriander potato, falafel
hand rolled sambousik (lamb pastry)
kibby nayyeh or fried kibby
garlic prawn, salt & pepper squid
fried cauliflower, lamb sausages
3 bbq skewers per person, chicken, lamb, kafta.

The inevitable belly dancer was present and Mark was persuaded join in with a very respectable performance.

Saturday, 5th March 2016

It was Mardi Gras parade evening in Sydney and surprisingly the streets at this end of the city were quiet. Dinner was at the Langham Hotel in the Rocks close to Barangaroo.

We had a full complement of 8 diners (2 missing from this photo).
