AL MAKAN

Al Makan sits on Errol Street in North Melbourne, just north of the CBD. A Middle Eastern restaurant, it brings the vibrant, flavour-packed traditions of Middle Eastern cuisine to the area — the kind of warm, welcoming spot, built around shared mezze and hearty dishes, that's become a genuine favourite for a flavour-packed feed.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Middle Eastern food, a good offering and a relaxed, welcoming setting in a convenient North Melbourne location, ideal for a group dinner, a shared feast or a relaxed night out. The generous, share-style nature of the cuisine makes it perfect for a sociable evening, and Al Makan has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a shared Middle Eastern feast in North Melbourne.
