Quite delicious. If you get the set menu, portions seem a bit small at first but by the end, you’re stuffed. Nothing super ground breaking, just modern Middle Eastern fusion done well and presented beautifully.
Sat outside and the bar table is a bit unstable, plus the ground is sloped. A bit awkward to deal with but not terrible.
Plenty of gluten free options and well communicated.
Nothing that stood out as a must have again but still a solid choice for an upmarket meal out.
Experience a vibrant atmosphere with delicious, diverse options that keep everyone satisfied—definitely worth a visit!

My experience at Shaffa was nothing short of exceptional. The food is absolutely outstanding—rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with creativity and care.
The ambiance strikes the perfect balance: sleek and stylish, yet relaxed and unpretentious. The unique layout adds a rustic, authentic charm that makes you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere far from the usual Sydney dining scene.
The menu is a standout—varied, inventive, and full of soul. Each dish reflects thoughtful preparation and bold, memorable flavours.
What truly elevates Shaffa, though, is the service. Veronica and her team strike a rare balance of being warm and personable while remaining impressively professional and attentive. Nothing feels like too much trouble.
We were looked after by the wonderful Francis, who brought the whole experience together with his deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. He took the time to ask insightful questions about our preferences and made thoughtful recommendations that hit the mark. His attentiveness—especially toward my partner’s gluten intolerance—was both considerate and seamless.
I can’t recommend Shaffa highly enough for your next meal out. You’ll be in for a memorable, delicious experience from start to finish.
This vibrant spot offers a welcoming atmosphere with super friendly and helpful staff who enhance the dining experience. Located just a short walk from Central station, it features a bright setting ideal for enjoying gluten-free pita and dips in a relaxed environment.

Visited for the first time on new years day. Staff were super friendly and greeted us with a smile and a ‘happy new year’ greeting which was nice. We sat near the window and ordered via the QR code on the table. We both enjoyed the pita breads (gluten free and wholemeal low carb pita) & dips (tzatziki and eggplant). We will return here for another meal when in the area again. They are located only a short walk from Central station on the Woolworths side.
This spot features a warm, casual atmosphere with classic decor and an unusual character building. The welcoming BYO policy with no corkage fee adds to the relaxed dining experience, making it a comfortable choice for gluten-free diners seeking authentic Middle Eastern ambiance.
