The Smoking Camel

The Smoking Camel is a Middle Eastern bar and restaurant at 17 Lawson Street in Byron Bay. The venue presents an oasis-style setting centred on food, drinks and late-night dining, giving it a distinct place for evenings that extend beyond a standard restaurant sitting.

Middle Eastern cuisine is the central food identity, while the bar and restaurant format supports both dining and drinks. The venue’s menu offering provides the basis for choosing a meal or planning a longer evening around the table. Its late-night positioning makes the venue relevant for diners seeking a later service style, as well as for those looking for a bar environment alongside restaurant dining.

The Smoking Camel also caters for group dining. That focus makes the venue suitable for shared occasions, group meals and social plans that benefit from arranging a table in advance. Booking facilities are available for diners who prefer to organise a visit ahead of time, with group dining forming part of the venue’s overall offering.

The atmosphere is shaped by the venue’s oasis concept rather than by a formal or purely functional restaurant presentation. The combination of a bar, Middle Eastern food and late-night service gives the space a setting suited to relaxed evening dining and drinks. The venue can therefore work for a meal, a later gathering or an occasion where food and bar service are part of the same plan.

Located on Lawson Street, The Smoking Camel adds a Middle Eastern bar and restaurant option to Byron Bay’s dining scene. The venue’s character comes from the combination of cuisine, drinks, an oasis-style setting, group dining and late-night service. Menus, bookings and gift cards are available as part of the venue’s offering, providing practical options for planning a meal or arranging a dining occasion.
