Been here a couple time and have enjoyed the dining experience immensely.
The food has always been good and the service is just right.
The decor is quite nice too, similar to a couple places around Melbourne but rare enough to still be considered novelty.
For good modern Asian cuisine with good service and not overly pricey check them out in Hawthorne East.

Approximate cost: $22-30

Had a really nice meal here for a family engagement. We all had the smorgasbord Buffet. As far as smorgasbords go, i generally try to stay away but this one is an exception.
The food is great, there are sections that the Chefs will whip up a dish for you and the area is clean and has a sense of class.

If you love seafood and many other cuisines and can part with $50, give this place a go.

Approximate cost: $50

This review is for Nyala African Restaurant, Fitzroy VIC

This was my second African dining experience and it did not disappoint.

The food was exceptional, the service was good and the prices were reasonable. Not extremely cheap but for the quality of the food I think it was a good fit.

If you want to experience African dining I would give Nalaya the thumbs up.

The Mixed entree was good and I enjoyed the Chicken and Lamb Dishes. An Entree to share and 2 mains will be more than enough for 2 people.

Smaaklike ete! Lekker eet! (Bon appétit )

Approximate cost: $19

This review is for Funky Curry 2, Melbourne VIC

The curry here is quite good for a fast food lunch place. Ive been a couple times and I will probably many more.

The food is pretty good, very cheap and the service is OK too. The only issue is getting a seat during lunch. If your not there early its pandemonium. The place is fully seated and there is a line at the counter.

All in all, good food, cheap and close to work. Why not!

Approximate cost: $9

This review is for Biryani House, West Melbourne VIC

This place is ok. They searve large dishes and are really quite cheap.

The curry though is not the best going around. Had the standard butter chicken and the lamb korma. Dont know.. its a very weird texture.. not like usual. Plus I think there may be MSG in the food....

Service was ok.. Struggles to get eye contact or a smile.. but hey... what you gonna do.

In any case, the food is cheap and there is lots but there are a lot better curries than this if you dont mind paying 50c - $1 more!

Approximate cost: $8.4

This review is for Plume Chinese Restaurant, Doncaster VIC

Ok so this place is at best -just above average and at worst -average.

The food is decent and the service is nothing that will blow you away. It can be a little pricey but its not super expensive.

Dinner here is quite good and i especially have enjoyed a couple of Yum Cha sessions at Plume.

If you want decent food, decent service and pretty much decent prices, this place is OK.

Definitely not UNBELIEVABLE or TERRIBLE. But OK.

Approximate cost: $21

Good Restaurant that Ive only been to once so far. The inside is really different. I liked the way the place was set out and especially the pictures on the wall. Youll see what I mean if you visit the website.

The food was good, had a range of rices/Curry's/appetizers. Definitely recommend giving this place a go if you want to have lunch on a Friday or take a client out. And its not that expensive either

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Mario’s Jewellers, Collingwood VIC

Been coming to this store for years and so have almost everyone i know. Their service is outstanding.
The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and will always recommend if they have an idea(but don't push their views)-something I like.

The range is fantastic and if you need something made up or repaired, its never a problem.

Try them!

This review is for Nobu, Southbank VIC

I absolutely love this place. Its very expensive and can be a little crowded but in my opinion the service and the quality of food is fantastic.

Thy the banquet kind of option. And you can just tell them to exclude/include parts of it. Eventually 10+ dishes come out that are amazing and let you try a wide variety.

Definitely recommended if you can spare a couple hundred.

Approximate cost: $40

This review is for Khao Thip Thai Restaurant, Doncaster East VIC

Great little restaurant nestled in the back of jackson court. The food is good and they have a good set of banquets that will allow you to try a range of foods including desert and tea. 2 people $25/h, 4 people $30/h(bigger banquet)

If you live in the area, give them a go.

Approximate cost: $13
