A Gourmet Lebanese Touch
Our take on gourmet pizza is a little different to what you’ll find in other restaurants with a distinct Lebanese touch throughout the entire menu. A few examples include our delicious sujuk, a rich Lebanese sausage much like salami; or our Lebanese haloumi which is soft and stringy, unlike other versions of the cheese; or za’atar, which is an ancient blend of herbs, spices and oil and can replace the sauce on a pizza; or tahini, a mouthwatering condiment that is great drizzled on a pizza.
If you want to go completely traditional, you’ll also find lahembajin on our menu. Lahembajin is a Lebanese meat pizza that is cheese-less, instead topped with a heavenly blend of ground lamb, herbs and spices spread over a super thin crust and baked in the oven.

Who said pizza needs to have cheese on it? Definitely not the Lebanese.
When it comes to traditional Lebanese pizza, the common ingredients differ greatly from its Italian counterpart. Whereas the Italians favour cheese and tomato as the base for their pizzas, the Lebanese opt for herbs, spices and oils, topped simply with with fresh meats and vegetables. The classic example of this simple and delicious combination is lahembajin – or Lebanese meat pizza. Just ask anyone lover of Middle Eastern food: nothing is tastier than lahembajin.
Lahembajin, or Lebanese meat pizza, is a Middle Eastern classic that is as simple as it is delicious. Drop by OOSHMAN and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
What Is It?
Lahembajin – also spelled lahmacun, lahmajun or lahmaǰo (amongst many other variations) – is a classic Middle Eastern dish that literally translates to “meat on dough”. While this may not sound particularly enticing, like many traditional Middle Eastern dishes, the devil is in the details.
Lahembajin usually consists of a thin, round flatbread topped with a mixture of ground meat, vegetables and herbs that is then baked in a woodfire oven. The meat is commonly lamb or beef, the vegetables are usually onion, capsicum and tomato, and herbs can include parsley, mint and cilantro. What you get is an incarnation of pizza – Lebanese meat pizza that is.
The History of Lahembajin
Like many other aspects of traditional Lebanese cooking, lahembajin originated in the Levant region (modern day Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Israel), but quickly spread to surrounding regions like Turkey and Armenia, hence the multitude of spellings and variations of the dish.
Like many traditional cuisines, there are minor discrepancies in the tale of the ‘first’ incarnation of the lahembajin as different regions had access to ingredients that others didn’t. As such, modern versions of the dish vary greatly. This only adds to its allure: you never quite know what you’re going to get.
The Ingredients
The base – the dough for lahembajin needs to be quite thin and crispy, much like traditional Italian pizza.
The toppings – the secret to great lahembajin is in the preparation of the toppings. The meat and vegetables need to be cut up very fine so that it will cook easily and combine nicely. There is no set recipe for how you prepare your toppings, so get as creative as you like.
The spices – one of the key differences between Lebanese and Italian pizza is how the Lebanese use spices. Lahembajin tends to be spicy and a little bit sweet, using anything from cayenne pepper to cumin, cinnamon or paprika. Once again, you can get as creative as you want with the spices used in the topping mixture.
The cooking – before spreading on top of the dough, the topping mixture is usually sautéed briefly in order to cook the meat slightly and to release their juices. The mixture is then placed on the dough and put in the oven at a very high heat.
The garnishes – once the dough is golden and crispy it is ready to eat, but not before it is garnished with a few final touches. A bit of olive oil, lemon juice, coriander or parsley will bring an element of freshness and vitality to the dish.
Now it is ready to eat!
If you’re on the hunt for traditional Lebanese meat pizza, your search ends with lahembajin. This simple and delicious dish is an age-old classic. For an authentic lahembajin experience drop by OOSHMAN, or order online, we’d be more than happy to prepare a fresh one for you!

Looking for somewhere to have lunch in Newtown? We have a plethora of tasty options to satisfy even the most ravenous bellies, health aware or cost-conscious.
Za’atar Bread
Za’atar is at the very crux of Lebanese food culture. It is made from a blend of herbs and spices, usually thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, toasted sesame seeds and salt, which is then mixed with olive oil and spread on flatbread and baked in the oven. At OOSHMAN we offer a rage of toppings to go with our delicious za’atar bread, from haloumi to labhne, olives, capsicum, ricotta or falafel. Try our Beirut-style za’atar with haloumi, tomato, onion & chilli flakes. Many of these are vegetarian or vegan options and range from $3 for plain bread, to $8 for the deluxe falafel option.
Folded Sujuk Pizza
Looking for a thick, meaty, delicious meal but don’t think you can take on whole pizza by yourself? Our folded sujuk pizza is just for you. Featuring fluffy folded crust filled with cheese, sujuk, olives, capsicum and tomato, it’s a delicious alternative to a traditional pizza. Sujuk is Lebanese sausage, somewhat similar to pepperoni, made from ground beef, combined with a selection of exotic, spices like garlic, cumin, sumac and red pepper.
Haloumi or Spinach Pie
You’ve never had a haloumi pie like this. Featuring heaps of melted haloumi stuffed into in a semi circle pie coated with sesame seeds, its warm, gooey and filling. It’s also a great vegetarian option for those looking for something a little more delectable. But hold on, melted haloumi you say? At OOSHMAN we use Lebanese haloumi, which is different from traditional Cyprus-style haloumi that is crusty and squeaky. Lebanese haloumi is woven and stretched into bundles and stored in olive oil, giving it a stringy texture more akin to mozzarella. We also have a tasty vegan spinach option.

Lahembajin
Lahembajin is a folded meat pizza, but with no cheese. Instead we top a crispy base with tasty minced lamb, finely chopped tomatoes and onions which are then combined with a selection of 7 herbs and spices including paprika, peppers, cumin, cinnamon, parsley coriander and mint. Served with a thick slice of lemon as a garnish.
Kebbeh
An excellent side or snack, Kebbeh is a delicious Lebanese street food classic made from a minced lamb, pine nut and onion filling, encased in a burghul (cracked wheat) & lamb ‘football’. We also a super vegan option made from a chickpea, spinach and onion filling, encased in a burghul and pumpkin football. These are huge and at $9 for 6, or $17 for a dozen, great value (vegan options are even cheaper!).
Wraps
We also offer a selection of delicious Lebanese wraps to suit the tastes of any hungry customer, none more than $8! Some of these include our famous falafel, healthy vegan options, vegetarian toppings, beef and chicken wraps and our Shawarma wrap, each with a selection of Lebanese condiments and salads like Labhne, hummus, pickles and tahini.

We also offer an array of salad options including classic tabouleh, Mediterranean style and a garden salad.

At OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) we are absolutely obsessed with Lebanese cuisine. It’s a rare kind of food that is both healthy and delicious, and it’s extremely versatile with a range of options from sweet to savoury, catering to vegans, vegetarians and carnivores alike. Traditional Lebanese cuisine has snuck its way into modern Australian food culture in a number of ways. Our take on it is a selection of casual Lebanese street food, ranging from our delicious Lebanese pizzas and traditional man’oushe to falafel or shawarma wraps, kabbeh and baklava. Let’s have a look at some of what we believe to be some of the best Lebanese cuisine in Sydney.
Are you on the hunt for Lebanese cuisine in Sydney? Look no further than OOSHMAN. Let’s have a look at some of the delicious Lebanese food we have to offer.
Man’oushe
Traditional Lebanese man’oushe is very much like our version of pizza. People classify it simply as baked flatbread topped with fresh ingredients such as za’atar, tomato, mint, lifft (pickled turnip), ground meat and cheese. It is usually smaller than a traditional pizza, good for easy folding, and the dough can either be rolled very thin or kept thick for smaller servings. Traditionally man’oushe is only been topped with za’atar – a combination of herbs and spices, prominently thyme – and oil. Delicious Lebanese cuisine!
Sujuk
Sujuk is Lebanese sausage dating back to ancient times. Many people liken it to salami due its high fat content. Sujuk is traditionally made from ground beef, but other meats, such as pork, mutton, and even horse meat are known to be used. The meat is then combined with delicious spices like garlic, cumin, sumac and red pepper before being prepared inside a sausage casing. We put it on our pizzas but it is delicious on its own too!
Kabbeh
Kebbeh is made from burghul (a type of cracked wheat), diced onion, ground meat (usually lamb), chopped pine nuts and an array of spices that range from salt and pepper to cumin, cayenne and cinnamon. These ingredients are thoroughly combined and sometimes eaten raw, though it is more commonly formed into small cylinders, fried and eaten with a side of hommus. We also offer a vegan version of the dish – pumpkin kebbeh.
Tabbouleh
Lebanese cuisine is famous for its fresh and healthy ingredients, with our salads a particular highlight, and none have a more fanatical following than tabbouleh. Made from bulgur (a type of wheat), parsley, fresh tomatoes and seasonings such as lemon juice, olive oil and garlic, tabbouleh is as fresh and tasty as it is good for you. Whether you are in Beirut or Bondi, nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a bowl of freshly made tabbouleh.
Falafel
This legendary Lebanese cuisine is made from chick peas that are soaked, ground and combined with a variety of spices that often includes cumin, coriander, chilli and garlic. This heavenly mixture is then formed into balls and fried until golden and crispy. Falafel makes an ideal snack (especially when dipped in hommus) or for something a little more substantial add a few falafel balls to a pita with your favourite vegetables and a drizzling of tahini for a filling lunch or dinner. Our falafel wraps are the best in Sydney.
Baklava
While baklava is believed to have been created by the Assyrians of Mesopotamia sometime around the 8th Century BC, every culture in the region has their own special version, including the Lebanese. Our baklava is sweet, flaky and we have dozens of different types – each one typically includes multiple layers of super thin pastry, a filling of chopped walnuts, pine nuts or almonds, and a drizzling of honey on top. Our baklava is vegan too.
Haloumi pie
You might think that a haloumi pie might not work all that well. Traditional cyprus haloumi is dense and crispy when cooked, and while it is a delicious dish in many different dishes, in a pie it might not be best filling. However, Lebanese haloumi is woven and stretched into bundles and stored in olive oil, giving it a stringy texture more akin to mozzarella, but with the sharp salty taste of haloumi. Perfect in a pie!
