Abla's

Overview

Abla Amad was born in Lebanon and arrived in Australia in 1954 at the age of nineteen. In 1979 at the urging of friends and family, she opened Abla's — a restaurant that has become a Melbourne institution. Ever since it opened, diners have returned time and again to experience her special brand of traditional, homemade Lebanese food. For Abla, it is a cuisine that can only be made from the heart – that's why she is widely regarded as 'the queen of Lebanese cooking.'
