The group behind one of western Sydney’s popular Lebanese restaurants has acquired the sprawling 600-seat Paper Mill restaurant complex in Liverpool. The move is the latest chapter in the success story of the Al Aseel restaurant business, which has expanded across the city, and even into airline food and supermarket products.
With new restaurants in Chatswood and Pagewood, Al Aseel has also successfully crossed the “Red Rooster line”, the imaginary and tongue-in-cheek divide that tries to draw food boundaries from the north-west to south-east suburbs.
