This restaurant is authentic! One of the places i find myself returning to, the funny thing about this is that the menu is predominantly spicy cuisine and i can not really take spicy food, but the food is just delicious, and yes it is SPICY! There is so much to choose from on the menu and the prices are fantastic, you get so much food. As a non Asian customer however, i believe i was overlooked at times when wanting to order, staff tended to go to others first, which i found a bit strange, but i am not making any judgements. I will continue being a regular customer here.

Approximate cost: $14

Not only does this restaurant have authentic middle eastern cuisines they also provide a bit of entertainment with their very own belly dancers to entertain you as you eat. After you have filled up on your meal you can take advantage of another middle eastern tradition, smoking some aromatic Shisha tobacco, there's 18 different flavors to choose from, my personal favorite is the apple one. A unique experience.

Approximate cost: $Standard Banquite is $38

This review is for Copacabana International, Fitzroy VIC

The best think about Copacabana Int. is there show on a Saturday night. The dancers are energetic and passionate about their dance. If you come for a dinner, it is buffet, and for me a bit overpriced. The highlight is the meat that comes around, it is delicious. The rest of the food is quite mediocre, nothing special. After your meal you can have a bit of a dance out on the dance floor or enjoy a nice drink in one of the 2 bars.

Approximate cost: $45

This review is for Nobu, Southbank VIC

I came here for an anniversary dinner with my partner. We were told about how the food was meant to be shared here so we ordered quite a number of meals to share. When the plates arrived we were shocked, we knew we had to share but the amount we got per meal was not really enough to share. We ordered a plate of prawns which cost about $35 and got only 4 prawns. We had about 6 meals all priced around the same. The food was great but for the price and quantity given, it was not really worth it. We left both still feeling hungry and went and got take out to fulfill our hunger which was just not satisfied at Nobu.

For the quality of the foods given, i think that the price is actually not too bad. This place is affordable and in a wonderful location. The best time to eat is for dinner, making sure you have a seat close to one of the windows because the view you get is wonderful and you get to experience the fire show up close every hour that passes. Meals are delicious and there is a wide selection.

Approximate cost: $Dinner is $63 to $74

This review is for Sante, Southbank VIC

For the price you pay in getting a buffet serve, the food is a better quality than what i would expect, however it is not great also. Very asian inspired, which i love, but so much of the food was fried, which i don't love. Can get crowded during lunch time so make sure you are early if you really want to eat here.

Approximate cost: $21 - $27

This review is for Seeds Of Beauty, Camberwell VIC

The first time i came here i had an appointment booked in ready for an IPL session. Even though i had a booking i was left waiting for quite some time because there had been a mix up between staff. The girl treating me was bubbly and nice and seemed knowledgeable of the treatment. I had 3 treatments over the required waiting time in two different areas and saw little change, so for me the price was just not worth what i was getting, which was very very little. I left disappointed and have since resumed sessions some where else.

This review is for Lady Gowrie, Docklands VIC

Lady Gowrie is re-known for being a high quality children's center. For me, the most recognizable feature is the outside area which includes many play spaces and gardens. The center has an indoor/ outdoor play program which is great but could work better. The outdoor area is a large space shared between 9 rooms so imagine all the children in the one area. Staff are friendly and kind to children.

This review is for Exclusive Photography, Richmond VIC

Got treated like a star as soon as i walked in. I was greeted with smiles and a glass of champagne. Next i was treated to a consultation on what i wanted from the photos and the best look that would suit me. I was then made up by a hair stylist and make up artist and ready for my shoot. The photographer was lovely and made me feel comfortable and at ease making jokes to ease my nerves. Photos turned out lovely and i went home with a package, a little highly priced compared to other places but with an easy payment plan i could take my time paying and have the photos straight away.

This review is for Harajuku Crepes, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 28 Jul 2011

I love the fact that i get to see what the crepes will look like as they are up and displayed against the back wall. I also get to see my crepes being made, which on it's own is a bit exciting. A different style of dessert that you can take and eat on the go or sit in and eat. The place is quite small though so the chances of sitting may be slim at times.
For me the nutella ones are the best :)

Approximate cost: $4.50 and up
