This review is for Fish & Chix, Merrylands NSW

This is one of the nicest places to eat at in Merrylands Stockland food court. The meal deals are very affordable and there is quite a good selection to suit everybody. It does get quite busy so there can be a bit of a wait to get your order but the staff are generally very friendly. The food is quite tasty, I've never tried their chicken items but the fish is never soggy or too oily and the portions are very generous. Great place to have lunch.

Oh I love this place so much! Every time I've come here the food has been amazing. The pizzas are cooked perfectly and they have so many interesting flavours. The entrees are also delicious, I especially love the chorizo. Desserts are fantastic too....I really can't fault the quality of the food. I have found the service impeccable every time, the staff are really attentive and professional. I will keep returning and I highly recommend this place!

This review is for City Extra, Parramatta NSW

The good thing about City Extra is that it's always open and for that reason I end up coming back, it's convenient if you want to meet up with friends. I have never encountered problems with the service, it's generally been pretty good but what lets it down badly is the actual food. It's just not very good. It's consistently either very bland or has some sort of unpleasant flavour. Last two times I came here I ordered a beef burger and could not even finish half of it, it was bland and the bread was stale. The second time I ordered salt and pepper calamari and that was even worse! The crumb was soggy and falling off and the dipping sauce resembled bottled marinade, very concentrated and unpleasant. Given the poor quality of the food, it isn't all that cheap!
I'll probably end up coming back for coffee or something due to convenient opening hours but I can't really recommend it.

This review is for Rodica's Restaurant And Bar, Parramatta NSW

Rodica's is a European restaurant that does Italian and Romanian food. I went here for dinner for the first time last night and on first impressions the staff were quite pleasant and friendly, however the service was so slow, I waited over 45 minutes for a steak. I have never had to wait that long for steak and mash in my life and the restaurant was three quarters empty! The food wasn't bad, it tasted nice enough but I had asked for a medium done steak and the steak I got was very well done. It was a shame but after I had waited for it for so long, I really couldn't be bothered sending it back. The prices are average, but they do have some inexpensive specials on offer. I'm not sure if they were having an off night and that's why the service was so slow...I may visit again because the food wasn't bad but I don't see myself rushing back.

This review is for Hair Culture Merrylands, Merrylands NSW

This salon, while very cheap, had really rude and unapproachable staff. Last time I was here I felt the lady that worked on my hair was not adequately trained and it was very difficult to consult with her. I came here for a cut and colour I had an idea of what I wanted but I asked the hairdresser for her "expert" opinion and she just shrugged her shoulders and seemed most disinterested. In the end I was very unhappy with my colour. I had bleached hair that I was colouring darker and I even asked if my hair needed a filler before colouring and the lady dismissively said nah. Well, the hair colour turned incredibly brassy in a few days and looked horrible. I do not recommend this salon.

This review is for Citrus Cafe Restaurant, Newtown NSW

I come here quite often with friends and I've enjoyed my experience each time. The staff are friendly and the service is usually quite fast. The mains are very generous in size so you won't be left hungry and they always have interesting dessert options. It is not the cheapest cafe but prices are reasonable for what you get.

Approximate cost: $15

I always order my contact lenses through Clearly Contacts. The prices are very reasonable and it works out much cheaper than buying my contacts in store. There is a shipping fee but it also is very reasonable. Plus you have the option of paying in installments. Delivery is always prompt and there are always some sort of promotions available. Highly recommended.

This review is for Liana's Licensed Italian Restaurant, Parramatta NSW

I've been here a few times and while it's not bad, I can't say it is great either. The food tastes quite average, so far I haven't ordered anything that was super delicious and for the price I'm not sure that it is worth it. The service is ok but can be a bit slow. Overall, I'd say there are better Italian restaurants in the area.

This review is for Al Aseel Restaurant, Surry Hills NSW

I love this place, the atmosphere is always great. The food is very tasty and the portions quite generous. The service is good most of the time but can be a tad slow on very busy nights. It is a bit on the expensive side but the food is good so it can be justified.

A bunch of us came here for a friend's birthday and it was alright but I don't remember it being spectacular. I ordered a lamb skewer and garlic potatoes which turned out to be boiled potato in garlic flavoured liquid which wasn't very appealing. The service was pretty good though. Overall it was ok but I would not rush to go back.
