Cairo Takeaway
Restaurant
Cairo Takeaway
Bright-green felafel, rolls stuffed with charcoal lamb and a Cairo brunch.
Osteria di Russo & Russo
Restaurant
Osteria di Russo & Russo
It’s styled after an old-school trattoria, but this enduring eatery serves thoroughly modern interpretations of Italian cuisine – often with native produce. And though the wine list reveres the classics from Piedmont and Tuscany, Australian producers are given equal weighting here. An Enmore classic for a reason.
Firepop
Restaurant
Firepop
The duo behind a cult Sydney food truck have opened a full-service restaurant for their flame-grilled lamb and Wagyu skewers. What else is new? Try an eight-seat chef’s table, and a curated list of wines and high-end French ciders.
Emma’s Snack Bar
Restaurant
Emma’s Snack Bar
A beloved, family run restaurant in Enmore is doing casual street food just like they would eat at home.
Tandoori Hut
Restaurant
Tandoori Hut
Ask most Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi taxi drivers who’ve worked in the inner west where they go for a late-night feed and you’ll hear the same answer: Tandoori Hut. Many locals know it for its good value tandoori, butter chicken and other Indian diner standards, but that’s not what some regulars order; they ask for the special menu, a list of traditional Pakistani options scrawled on the back of a receipt.
Little Lagos
Restaurant
Little Lagos
Stop by one of Sydney’s only Nigerian restaurants for aromatic goat stew, jollof rice, Nigerian meat pies and a traditional, spicy west Nigerian dish, ofada stew. Best paired with an ice cold Tusker lager.
The Duke of Enmore
Restaurant
The Duke of Enmore
The pokies are gone and Big Buck Hunter is in. The Duke lives on with local beers, "stiff and strong" cocktails and upscale pub grub – think chicken liver pâté on toast, puffy breads stuffed with mortadella and a fancy steak.
Epic Pizza
Restaurant
Epic Pizza
Oversized New York-Style Pizzas. Order by the slice or walk away with a 22-inch pie.
Colombo Social
Restaurant
Colombo Social
This social enterprise serves soft-shell crab roti-tacos with mango salsa as well as more traditional home-style food, alongside punchy, spice-driven cocktails.
Little Turtle
Restaurant
Little Turtle
An all-vegan Thai restaurant with “fish” curry and a special take on “Buffalo wings”.
