Aalia Restaurant

Aalia Restaurant Embrace the unexplored and reimagined possibilities of Middle Eastern cuisine.

17/06/2026

From the beginning, Aalia was built on a single pursuit: the highest point. Not a place you reach, a direction you keep moving in.

This winter, the menu evolves. Executive Chef .wolfers continues the search this restaurant was founded on, for the ingredient’s others have forgotten, the regions others overlook and brings his own hand to it. Closer to the fire. Closer to the season. Lighter, fresher, and rooted more deeply in the food of the Middle East.

Before the next chapter opens, we’ll set the table one last time for the dishes that carried us here. Then we climb again 💫

We’re open on Anzac Day and love to have you at the table. A 12.5% public holiday surcharge applies. Lest we forget.

We are proud to announce that AALIA has been named #14 by World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026.

Centuries of grilling tradition. A Middle Eastern lens. Ironbark wood and charcoal from the Blue Mountains. A Kiwami 9+ flank, treated with the care it deserves.

Thank you to our team, our guests, the wider Esca family, and the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants for this honour.

Every detail considered. Every surface intentional.

AALIA has been named the 3rd best steak restaurant in Australia by 2026.

Meat has always held a place at our table. Not in the expected way — but through the lens of Middle Eastern flavour, ancient grilling traditions, and cuts chosen for their depth and character.

To our team and guests — thank you.
