Al-Madina - Castle Hill

The food at this restaurant is delicious! My parents and I came here for lunch and we were impressed by the high quality of both the food and the service.

Al Madina has been in operation for about 5 years and I believe it is the sole Lebanese restaurant in Castle Hill.

We have always ordered takeout from this restaurant and have never dined in before. The food is consistently fantastic and the service is always welcoming. A must-visit in the area!

Large party on a Saturday night. A good evening could have been a great evening if more attention was given to the finer points of service. Little things like only 2 water bottles among 20 people when five would have been more adequate and saved the need for asking for it to be passed down from other end of table. Ditto for food which was shared banquet, so much easier if everyone can reach the shared plates - solution more plates with smaller servings on them.Food was ok.Belly dancer for entertainment was excellent.Good atmosphere with many large groups in party mode.

I heard good things about this place, so I thought I'd give it a try with my wife and a couple of friends. We were sadly disappointed. I love Lebanese food, yet to pay an average $24 for a main dish that was OK at best, was a bit of a shock to the system. It didn't help that the service was super slow, taking 40 minutes to get our food, yet the place wasn't even packed. I had the meat platter with chicken skewers, beef skewers, lamb balls. It was accompanied with a yummy tabouleh, however the hummus was the blandest I ever had. Portion-wise, this was a letdown considering the price you pay. If you want good Lebanese food, I suggest going to Inflames Grill, just a few minutes walk away, which is almost half the price and bigger portions.
