This wasn’t our first choice to come have an early breakfast but I’m glad we ended up here, firstly from the outside it says sub town, however right next to it it does mention foul and hummus. We were there for their Lebanese cuisine. Inside, there is a fairly decent seating area with booths and tables. We placed our order at the front but I also did see them coming to take orders directly at the table. The menus is extensive, you have a variety of subs to choose from and plenty of Lebanese dishes as well like hummus, foul, fatteh, shakshuka etc. We tried a variety of dishes, the portions were appropriate and the flavours were packing! Hummus with meat was my favourite, even the sojourn eggs was flavourful. The meat maqla though wasn’t gamey and seasoned well, it was my least favourite of the bunch. All meals are served with pita bread. Service was great, he helped us choose items off the menus, the food arrived fresh in a timely manner. Will definitely be back for the breakfast!

I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! The food and service exceeded all expectations. I came for breakfast and tried the foul, falafel, and fatah; each dish was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. This place truly feels like a taste of home, and I’ll definitely be coming back. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at the restaurant for making it such a memorable experience!

This traditional Lebanese sandwich had a very unique flavor with simple and limited toppings, which really put the focus on the wonderful black seed flavor of the chicken! Lots of meat on a nice crisp bun which was extremely filling! I have really never had anything that tasted similar and I would strongly recommend it if you're up for something new. I had the Francisco sub with no corn (4.8/5). The owner was so incredibly nice and too generous!We had a nice long talk about everything from food to travel and all the different places he had lived, it was so nice talking to you! I will be back next time I'm in the area.

Tried this spot and it seriously delivered! The fajita was packed with flavor, the roast beef was tender and juicy, and the escalope had the perfect crunch. Don’t even get me started on the steak sub—absolute perfection. If you're into bold flavors and hearty sandwiches, this place is a must!

Such a gem in walkley area! Love their quite space in the morning, and the variety of the options they offer in the breakfast menue! They served us free veggie basket which is nice and the portions were generous and filling! I’d love to visit this place again with my family! Taste was delicious and staff are super nice

The staff are really nice, when I went to order the Philly steak sandwich they let me try the avocado sauce beforehand to see if I’d like it on my sandwich (it wasn’t my favourite so I’m glad that they did). My sandwich ended up turning out really tasty, I would definitely recommend. I’d like to come back and try more of the Lebanese food, but for now I definitely would recommend the subs.

I randomly went to Subtown because the bakery on the other side of the strip mall was closed. I was pleasantly surprised by Subtown’s menu and tried their hummus and Mexican platter. Both tasted very good. I think you will like eating here too.
