Planning a dinner party for your family or friends can be really stressful, especially if your preparation time is limited. The key is to make arrangements for the event ahead of time. This way, you can easily make an accurate to-do list, limit the unanticipated troubles during the event and spend more time bonding with your friends and loved ones at the party.

When it comes to choosing the best menu to serve, it is important to identify the theme of the event. That way it will be easier for you to choose the cuisine and dishes to offer to your guests.

For those who are planning for a Mediterranean-themed party, there are several fine dining Parramatta restaurants to check. These outstanding dining establishments are popular to customers as they have a wide range of intercontinental flavours to choose from.

Banquet Food

Arranging for a group of people can be challenging but Parramatta dining spots are equipped to serve this type of special events and occasions. Their banquet menus are a hassle free option as these cover authentic Arabic, Lebanese and other Mediterranean appetisers, dishes and even desserts. Whether it be birthdays, VIP Events, meetings, or even wedding receptions, they have the best package to offer to you.

Appetisers

Many people visit and dine with their loved ones at the best Lebanese restaurant Parramatta has. They offer a great range of tasty starters that are rich in natural herbs and spices. Among the popular starters in this place are a light bite-sized dish like batata harra or a spicy potato that is seasoned with garlic, coriander and chilli flakes. The dining place also offers soups especially during cold dinner nights. One of the all-time favourites is the oriental lentil soup with red lentils, cumin, crispy bread and lemon wedges.

Salad can be a great alternative too. The vegetables used in the restaurants are all fresh. Most of their salads combine various types of lettuce, tomato, cucumber cheese and oregano. These are also served with olive oil and apple vinegar as the dressing.

Main Dishes

The main dishes are the one that highlights the special event or a luxurious dinner. There are a variety of carefully picked succulent steaks and a selection of pastas at these restaurants. Ablama is one of the popular traditional Mediterranean culinary dishes that will blow you away. It is a marinated lamb minced meat stuffed in a zucchini with yoghurt sauce and white rice to complete your night.

Barbeques are also famous. These are commonly served in skewers partnered with traditional tasty hummus and a garlic sauce for a kick to your dish. Fresh seafood like deep fried prawns and calamari are all available in case of cravings.

Dessert

How could anyone forget about dessert? Ice cream is a staple in the dessert department having a variety of flavors from chocolate, vanilla, strawberry to mango, passion fruit and ferrero rocher are all must try.

Setting up your family for dinner during a special occasion will be unforgettable, extraordinary and memorable especially with a wide history of culinary influences that influenced Mediterranean food, indulging you into delicious, healthy and exceptional dishes through fine dining.

    Armani Restaurant Supports the Australasian Soccer Academy

    Armani Restaurant do not only care about serving delicious food, but we also care for the community. Recently, we partnered with the Australasian Soccer Academy to support their endeavor of introducing soccer sports to refugees and physically challenged boys. 

    We offered a monthly donation and sponsorship to the Australasian Soccer Academy. The monetary support aims to help young boys of different backgrounds, achieve their dreams of becoming professional soccer players. Our financial efforts hope to build a community of refugees and young boys where they are involved in the worthwhile hobby of sports. The partnership also looks forward in veering away the youth from unwanted hobbies and from living a sedentary life.

    The nurturing environment of the Australasian Soccer Academy is what we are looking for in a partner. The academy didn’t disappoint because their environment is that of a safe and competitive habitat where young boys thrive in the field of soccer. Discrimination is heavily discouraged, and everyone is the same. The academy has a carefully structured curriculum too that teaches both the theory and practicality of soccer.

    Masi, a young refugee from the Middle East, is one of the beneficiaries of our monthly donation to the academy. His story is a brave struggle for a second chance in life. Masi and some refugees braved the open sea to get to Australia. Upon arriving, he only had one pair of shorts, a t-shirt, and some money in his pocket. Now, our partnership with the Australasian Soccer Academy helped introduced Masi to the sport of soccer and discovered his passion for sports.

    Another inspiring story helped by the partnership is that of Augustine’s. Augustine started playing Football at the age of 7 until he was diagnosed with epilepsy. He underwent brain surgery at the age of 11. Since then, his body coordination has never been the same. His condition made it even harder for him to achieve his dream of becoming a professional Football player. However, Augustine is not giving up his dream yet. The academy and Armani restaurant fully support Augustine and his goals. Now, on the way to recovery, he continues the dream by participating in the Australasian Soccer Academy. He vows to make the most out of this opportunity, and he would not let epilepsy win over him. 

    Masi and Augustine are just two of the many inspiring individuals we wanted to see become the athletes that they truly are.
