This place is AMAZING! We ate in the little cafe and the food was to die for! I had lentil & vegetable soup and my husband had chicken curry, both were beautifully spiced, full of goodness and completely delicious! We finished off with a hot, spicy chai tea. Very reasonably priced too.

They also sell every spice you can imagine along with a variety of different wholefoods. You can also get their home cooked food to take home too.

I only wish we lived closer to this place as we would be regular customers. Sadly we were in Queenscliff for a weekend break only.

Approximate cost: $9

Cannot fault this place, lovely fresh food and very reasonably priced. 3 of us shared a veggie plate and a meat plate and then we had tea and baklava all for $40. The food was fresh and tasty and the staff were friendly and attentive. There are not many tables, but we went on a Thursday evening at 6.45 and there were still tables available. By the time we left it had got much busier however. Seemed to be doing a roaring take away trade too. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cheap eat with friends. Will definitely go back!

I went at 5pm on a Wednesday evening at it was packed! They were so busy, it took over 30 minutes for our hot chocolates to arrive at our table. However it was worth the wait, I have never tasted hot chocolate like it. I couldn't finish mine it was so rich and such a generous glass.

I go to the prenatal yoga class on a Monday evening after work and have found it a real benefit. The class is tailored specifically for pregnant women and Ambika the instructor provides easy to follow instructions and explains the benefits of each pose. You can also book online using their super handy website The only downside is that I think it is a little on the expensive side and there's only one evening prenatal class a week.

Approximate cost: $20

Great library, very convenient to pop in on my way to and from work due to it's close proximity to Flinders street. I'm pregnant with my first child and have found the selection of books and DVD's they have on pregnancy and birth to be of great interest. Easy to use service and you can look up items, reserve items and renew items online too.

Approximate cost: $free

These guys do a good breakfast at a reasonable price. I particularly enjoyed their homemade baked beans! However the coffee wasn't the best I have ever had. Overall it was a satisfactory experience but nothing to get too excited about.

I purchased a throw from here a couple of months back. The products are stylish and of very high quality and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. It's a bit pricey but for a luxury product and the personal service you receive in store it's around what you'd expect.

Approximate cost: $80

You can shop here safe in the knowledge that whatever you buy, it is 100% free range and has been farmed humanely. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful and more than fulfill the role of your friendly local butcher. They have a very wide selection of products not just the usual suspects, it's well worth visiting. We bought our Christmas ham here and it was beautiful. Highly recommend.

Please note: produce is free range and not organic, see comment below. I have now amended my review

Nothing fancy to look at, a simple family run place that mainly caters for take away but has a very comfortable restaurant area if you prefer to dine in. Very good food! The Naan breads were to die for, you could tell they had been cooked in the tandoor oven. The lamb in the rogan josh we had was tender and tasty and the samosas were really good too, cooked fresh to order. After seeing the tandoori chicken we will try that next time. Would definitely recommend, especially at lunch for one of their lunchtime specials.

The dumplings are AMAZING!!! The service you receive is good once you are seated but you often have to wait a long time to get a seat. You can book in advance but advance means at least a week unless you happen to be going at a less popular time of day. It's worth making the effort for though, they really are the best dumplings I have eaten in Melbourne so far!

Approximate cost: $15-$25
