Mina 1 Bakery Bros

Mina 1 Bakery Bros is a Lebanese-style bakery in Lurnea, New South Wales, and it works as much as a sit-down spot as a takeaway counter. The manoush is what one customer comes for, from a classic meat and cheese to cheese, sujuk and vegetable versions. Folks around here have been known to ask for the peri peri sauce on a meat and cheese, and one local called it the best Lebanese food they'd had, which is saying something from someone who eats it often.

Beyond the manoush, the menu runs to pide, pizzas, camel kaak and even a camel burger, which you won't find at just any bakery. The chicken supreme and meat lovers pizzas get a mention, and one family ordered pizzas for a birthday party and had guests asking where they came from. There's a kunafa for dessert too.

The bakery opens early for breakfast and stays on through lunch and dinner. You can dine in, take away or have it delivered. The seating area is small and cosy, there's some outdoor seating, and free parking out front and on the street, plus wheelchair-accessible seating and a kid-friendly feel. Cards and tap-and-go payments are accepted. The hours run long on weekdays and shorter on weekends, so check before heading in.

Value gets a nod: generous portions at fair prices is how one local put it. The staff come across as friendly and accommodating, and one regular says the woman at the front has memorised their weekend order. We've heard the odd grumble about customer service on a bad day, and when delivery orders pile up the wait can stretch out and the pizza slicing can be uneven, though the flavour still gets praised.

If you're in Lurnea and want fresh manoush or a pizza that's a bit different, it's a handy stop for a quick breakfast or a relaxed family meal.
