It makes me happy to browse around Planet Books. I love the spaciousness of the store, the high shelving and the comfortable lounge chairs. I've never gone in there and not come away with an interesting book under my arm. It's open late too, which is great, because you can wander in after an evening out at a restaurant. In fact, it could stay open later.

We had a great time and enjoyed the food immensely. A small menu, we ordered the pork belly, which came on a bed of pomegranates and beetroot, and a goat casserole, served with eggplant relish and white beans I wasn't familiar with, which turned out to be cous-cous. I cannot stress enough how good it all tasted and how well everything went together. We followed up with desserts, coffee and my son ordered the spearmint tea, which was really nice, and served nicely in a glass t-pot. They have a great cocktail menu too. The service was very good, as was the ambience, the decor, the all round fusion style, all fabulous. 20/4/13 Update. Sadly Raah has closed. Such a shame.

It was my second visit and disappointing. The first visit, I realise now the waitress told us how to order and we enjoyed our food and visit. Not all the dishes are shareble, but, for some reason, the restaurant wont tell you that. The portions were small and did not lend themselves to being divided in two of the four 'share' dishes we ordered. The food was slow in arriving, the fundido was served congealed, which made me realise how over priced it is. I appreciate the waiter offered us desserts free of charge to try and make up for our dissappointment, which must have been obvious, but we were out of there by that time. We headed over to Gelare in Mt Lawley, to salvage my son's seventeenth birthday celebration with a waffle fest. I would still go there for breakfast.

Try breakfast at Zaffarano. They offer good food, it's affordable and the location is superb, making it excellent value. I've been twice for breakfast and would go again. So relaxing on the Swan, nice service, nice atmosphere, great way to pass some time with friends.

The food is good here but I must say I was very surprised when they opened one of the full length glass doors that encircle this round-house restaurant, to let fresh air in, on one of the coldest nights of the coldest July ever. I had my coat on because it was a bit drafty anyway. Perhaps the place is run by aliens. I would go back - a lovely summers evening.

My fav indian restaurant. Comfortable and relaxing. The food is pretty good, the flavours are unusually agreeable and the prices are reasonable. There's a bottle shop next door if you want to pop over for a bottle of wine.

This review is for Silk Hair Body Face, Dianella WA

I went there for a hair cut and came away with the impression they are not hairdressers and the worst haircut ever. The manageress did say she was not qualified and her senior hairdresser had less than 4 years experience at that time. She charged me a lot to straighten my hair with perming lotion, then tying my hair back. A back yard job. I had it fixed at Toni and Guys, who charge a lot also but they know their job.

This is a small business on Wellington Road but I like going here because they are always able to give me or order the replacement item I need - unlike Clark Rubber down the road. The guy knows his products and has great information.

This review is for John's Civic Fish Supply, Inglewood WA

This is my sister's fav fish and chip shop and she travels from Osborne Park to get here. I prefer my chips crispier than John does them. However, you can't beat John's for quantity of chips. You could feed an army, so if you have a lot of kids this is your mecca. Its my 2nd choice for F&C. You need to like your chips 'soggy' (oily) is all I'll say.

I used to go here often because the quality is good and the people are friendly. However, the portions are so small I've stopped going. I just feel ripped off.
