Yalla Sawa

Warm and generous hospitality is one of the hallmarks of a Middle Eastern feast and Yalla Sawa reflects this in spades.

The cosy corner restaurant in Cronulla is run by a local Lebanese family renowned for food packed with personality. Order the dips, the fluffy falafel made from 'mum's recipe' and anointed with tahini sauce and the lamb shank tagine, which thrums with spice and sweetness.
