Miznon Australia

If you are visiting Melbourne and you want a culinary experience then this is the place. We were a group of four and they welcomed us with open arms within a frenzy of vibrancy. Were seated at the counter and where we watched the ordering and the cooking. Both was done with speed and proficiency and with a lot of fun and energy it was like being at a theatre. Then the food arrived and what an explosion of flavours and texture. WOW, WOW, WOW and a big thank you for giving us a culinary experience that we will never forget.

Overall ok but personally speaking I think it’s more hype than substance. The meat bag is literally what it is; with some onions. Their signature dish is literally a whole cauliflower. The gimmick is cute at the start till you gotta get in there and cut it up to eat. As soon as I sat, I noticed a dirty plate with food residue.

Food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the intimate pita, and the eggplant love and kebab. The wagyu beef in the pita was cooked perfectly and delicious. The eggplant and chickpeas drenched in tahini is out of this world. Sitting outside in hardware lane eating Miznon on a mild summer evening should be a mandatory Melbourne experience.

Restaurant was full but we got seats at the counter, which was brilliant as we got talking with the very friendly chef who kept sneaking ‘tasters’ of other dishes to us! The eggplant was lovely, but so was everything else we tried too. The new take on fish and chips looked amazing. Apparently they do a special Shabbat celebration Friday night that I’d like to experience.

I had the absolute pleasure of playing here for a private work function with the mighty AMA band. What a fantastic location and atmosphere! Truly impressed by the staff, the food, the party people and by Afik our host who looked after AMA like we were family. I cannot speak highly enough of this place its perfect in so many ways! Do have a look at the photos below and if you need a private function room this is a hidden gem in Hardware Lane‼️🍽🔥🥃 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We ordered many dishes to share: Cauliflower, eggplant, beans, mezze, lamb carpaccio, bag of meat, sack of coq. I think the vegetarian dishes and carpaccio were fabulous but it didn’t feel like great value for money… the most disappointing dish were bag of meat and sack of coq. The former were 60% onions, we had to order two of these! The sack of coq was mostly spinach. The cocktails were beautiful but also mostly watered down by the amount of small ice they put in! For ~$70-80 per head including drinks (cocktails and a bottle of wine to share), you don’t leave feeling too happy. You order via a QR code menu and giving the responsibility to the patrons, having to scan your CC to pay each time is a major pain. Adding a tab option would fee more like a restaurant and not a fast food joint. The staff are friendly which is always nice
