Sydney is in New South Wales, on Australia's east coast, where summers are warm and humid, winters are mild and businesses keep to standard hours year-round with the usual public-holiday changes. Australian addresses list the street number, suburb, state abbreviation and postcode, and Sydney follows the same pattern; a number like 2/411 means unit 2 at number 411.

Visited Open Sesame in Sydney and tried their Shawarma Platter, and it was absolutely fantastic! The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with authentic Middle Eastern flavours. The platter was generously portioned and came with fresh salads, perfectly crispy chips, and delicious accompaniments that complemented the shawarma beautifully. The quality of the ingredients, presentation, and attention to flavour really stood out. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the overall dining experience was excellent. If you're looking for authentic and satisfying Middle Eastern food in Sydney, I highly recommend the Shawarma Platter at Open Sesame. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Had such a wonderful experience at Open Sesame 🌟 The food was absolutely delicious, especially the shawarma and the grilled dishes — full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried was amazing. A special thank you to Maria for her kindness, generosity, and warm hospitality. She was so friendly and welcoming, and she made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her lovely smile and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a warm atmosphere 🤍

I absolutely loved the food here! The wrap shawarma was outstanding and packed with flavor. I also appreciated that the kids' menu was unique and offered more variety than most other restaurants—my son absolutely loved his meal. Right when we sat down, they served a complimentary crunchy bread as a welcoming appetizer, which was a lovely touch. Considering the prime Sydney location, the prices are very reasonable and fair. Highly recommend this place, and we will definitely be back!

The shawarma is absolutely delicious and tastes truly authentic 👌 — you can really feel the original flavor. The المكان is spacious and suitable for everyone, whether you’re dining alone, with friends, or with family. Customer service is outstanding — friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and the prime location. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended 👍

We first visited Open Sesame in October last year and returned because we knew we would get plenty of delicious food at reasonable prices. The friendly staff are great with recommendations when you're not sure what to pick. We had the hot appetiser sampler plate, BBQ mix plate and shawarma plate, which was more than enough food for the three of us. Everything was delicious but the dips were definitely a highlight.
