A Legend Was Born
Hariri Chickens Original Lakemba Shop

From its humble beginnings as a small, yet successful takeaway joint, the restaurant swiftly captured the hearts and taste buds of locals and neighbouring suburbs alike. Offering accessible and affordable high-quality food, serving a menu that takes you on a nostalgic journey, back to the dinner tables of Middle Eastern households. We wanted to recreate the Flavours and experiences that your mother would lovingly prepare, the dishes that would transport you back to your childhood and make you feel at home.

Early 2000s
Humble Local Gem Grows

Our unique approach to cooking and serving BBQ chicken set us apart, drawing in thousands of residents and visitors from the Canterbury region and surrounding districts. We didn't just serve delicious food; we actively immersed ourselves in the community, partnering with local charities, participating in fundraisers, and adding our vibrant touch to festivals and events in Canterbury.

2013
Tragedy Struck

In a devastating turn of event, an arson had gone on a firebombing spree which included our beloved store on November 3rd. Marking the end of an extraordinary 23-year legacy in Canterbury. But our story doesn't end there.

2014
Dawn Of A New Age

With unwavering determination, we rose from the ashes and relocated to our hometown of Kogarah where we flourished once again earning multiple awards and drawing in crowds from all across Australia.
