Teta means grandma in Lebanese. It’s an apt name for this Roseville restaurant, which serves up authentic Lebanese food with generous portions and big flavours – just like your grandma would. The menu features traditional mezze, fresh seafood, vibrant vegetables, salads and pickles and succulent, charred meats. We’d recommend coming with a big group so you can order a bunch of dishes and go to town.

Start off with the cauliflower cooked three ways and topped with house-made tahini and lemon. You should definitely also order a serve of the herby falafel, flavoured with onion, parsley, coriander, garlic and spices. We loved the Armenian-style soujouk featuring chorizo in a fiery and fruity arrabiata sauce. Other menu highlights include Teta’s charcoal-cooked lemon and garlic chicken, marinated and charred lamb backstrap served with roasted vegetables and hummus, and a bright, fresh and crunchy fattoush salad with sumac and pomegranate molasses. Finish on a high with house-made pistachio ice cream.
There’s a selection of set menus available, starting from $59 per person, so we say go for one of those, and sit back nd enjoy the show. Seriously, there’s belly dancing on most nights. Oh, and Teta’s is BYO (with a corkage fee), so bring along your favourite vino too.
