Bekya Gateway - Sydney

If I can give less than 1 star I'll definitely do! We ordered 2 main dishes ( Bekya board and koshari) The bekya board is just fancy name of mixed grill.

This outlet is located in the newly renovated Gateway food court.

This place was the biggest disappointment! Terrible food, terrible service and Definately NOT a reflection of middle eastern food! Save your money, there

Extended trading hours during the VIVID festival allow for more time to savor the Middle Eastern delights at Bekya! If you're in the mood to sample a variety of dishes, I suggest trying one of their boxes. You can choose your protein, salad, rice, and dip, and even add homemade flat bread for a small charge. I absolutely adored the lemon and garlic chicken with Egyptian rice and muhammara. The muhammara, while initially intimidating, turned out to be pleasantly mild. The vegetarian box was bursting with flavor, and I appreciated the diverse selection of proteins. The fattoush salad was particularly delicious, and the Egyptian falafel wrap was generously portioned and convenient for eating on the go. The Koshari, a traditional Egyptian dish, was a visual and flavorful delight that I highly recommend trying.

Located in the Gateway building, this restaurant is one of the top choices. My go-to dish is the Chicken Shawarma served with a side of rice and quinoa salad. I have also sampled the Shishtawook, although I found it to be less satisfying. Additionally, I have tried the chicken with garlic lemon sauce and the Lamb Shawarma box, both of which were delicious and fulfilling.
