This place is consistently good! We have gotten take away from this place about 6 times so far and never been disappointed.

Their Naan bread is so light and fluffy and pulls apart so well, and their butter chicken is a dream.

Prices are reasonable, and serving size is decent too.
Highly recommended!

I was one of the many who got a voucher for this place to try something new.

I was not disappointed.

I went in assuming the amount of food would not be enough and they would give you just enough to eat, but leave you needing to order more as a money-making tool. This is a wrong assumption.

The voucher gave us 5 tapas to share, glass of beer, wine or soft drink, 2 x desserts and tea or coffee.

The meals were amazing. We took it upon ourselves to order two extra ones we saw and liked the look of, and the waitress was really lovely and really helpful, happy and overall a joy to talk to.

This place impressed me so much that I took my friends back there 4 days later and they loved it too. The only problem is, don't go there when you're starving, you will over-order and end up with way too much food! All good food though.

P.S: The most amazing coffee taste and presentation I have ever seen.

Highly recommend it.

This restaurant has been one of my favourites for a few years now.

Service is amazing, food is always spot on!

We once came in on our anniversary and we were offered two glasses of Frech Champagne free of charge. When we advised them we don't actually drink, they went off and made us 2 of the most delicious Mocktails I have ever had in my life! It was amazing!

Recommended foods:
Tasting plate is expensive, but amazing little samples of food.
Spagetti Marinara with white wine sauce is to die for! So fresh and lovely.
Steaks are good, but I don't like that they don't come with anything except the sauce of your choice so you will need to add sides to your meal.

They do the best cheese platter for desert too! Highlight for me as I love good quality cheese platters.

Highly recommend you try this place NOT on a weekend. The weekday atmosphere is better and you will get more attentive staff too!

Amazing food! Amazing service. I had never been here before, so we asked the staff to choose 7 dishes for the 4 of us to share and told them what kind of things we liked.
Spot on! Highly recommend this beautiful food.

Go the Calamari buns!

This was my 2nd work function at this restaurant and to be honest the 2nd time was a charm.

On my 1st visit I was hesitant to order anything I'd never had before as to avoid the dreaded food envy. The 2nd time it was set menu so I was limited to my choices, which was a good thing.

I had the poulet (chicken) which came with veggies and a very nice sauce. It was the most tender, juicest and perfect chicken I have experienced in my life! I kid you not, could have cut it with a fork if I wasn't in such good company.
What is even more impressive is that they had to replicate this meal again and again as there were over 60 people in there with our function.

The cheeses were heaven, particularly the blue vein. Yum!
I had something quite amazing for desert, a chocolate & beetroot cake with coconut sorbet. Sounds odd, but it was AMAZING! I was so surprised by the taste it created. Absolutely sensational.

I wasn't seen on coming back after the 1st time I came here, but luck so happened to take me back and I am so glad for it.
Staff in my experiences, both times were both attentive and very quick. They had personality and a sense of humour which was really refreshing.

Highly recommend. Try the chicken and definitely get the chocolate and beetroot cake if it is there. You'll not regret it!

We went here for dinner at about 7:30pm on a Saturday and just managed to score a table for two in the huge and packed restaurant. The turnaround for tables seemed to be fast as was the service.

Free wanton paper crackers on each table which is nice and a change from the old prawn cracker trick. Would have preferred prawn crackers though to be honest.

We ordered and shared a heap of entrees, and subsequently over-ordered which is easy to do when you see the price of the entrees.

White Bait was amazing and the best I have had anywhere. My partner had the duck for his main and loved it. This was 8 pancakes that the chef makes up for you next to your table, which I thought was a nice touch.

The main sprecial fried rice is huge and probably too much for just 2 people, so we know next time the servings are actually quite decent.

Highlight of the night by far was the Banana fritter I ordered. As far as a fried banana goes, this was perfect. There is something special that happens when you deep fry a banana and drizzle it with golden syrup and giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect end to the meal, which I definitely ate too much of...

Oh well, you only live once. :)

Went here for a work dinner with 12 of us in total.

We were well taken care of the whole night with recommendations and flexibility for the vegetarians and non-lamb eaters when we all decided on the banquet.

For $45 per person, we got more food than we could poke a stick at and it just kept coming. It was all very delicious. A highlight for me was the amazing Greek donuts with syrup for desert and warm baklava. Sensational!

I cannot wait to come back here.

Went here with my husband on valentines day.

We were about 15 minutes late due to awful traffic, but we got in and seated in no time. We ordered the 4 course share menu, which was easy as we haven't been here before.

First wave of food was out super quick and was really lovely. Fresh hummus and arancini balls so good they made me jealous (my ones aren't even close!), marinated fetta, fresh olive and herb bread & pide breads. Delicious!

I don't eat lamb, and they were accommodating and gave me my own plate of chicken and quail. We also got given a separate platter of chicken and lamb for my husband who eats anything. There was some perfectly cooked Salmon fillets, a refreshing salad and the highlight for me...this incredible middle eastern rice with carrot and apricot. It was fantastic!

We were starting to feel a bit full at this stage, and then the final wave of food hit us and it was not only well presented to the point you felt bad stuffing up the work of art, but after you got over that, you found it all so tasty you forgot you were full.

We had shot glasses of choc chip chocolate mouse with whiskey jelly. The mouse was topped with a fresh cherry sauce filled round cinnamon donut. So soft and fluffy!

Then the other platter (the work of art) was designed with a honey panacotta, lemon sorbet & what looked and tasted like raspberry sherbert. Fantastic mix for the palette.
The service was swift the whole night, and the staff were pleasant. The only disappointing thing about the night was that we over-stuffed ourselves. Our fault, not the restaurants.

We will certainly be back here, and I will be advising all my foodie friends to try it.

Went here for a work function and was really impressed by the style and flavours of the food.

From the work go, the service was great, except I don't like that the staff wanted to store our bags for us...I quite like having it with me.

Had the pork belly for entree and eye fillet for main. Both were fantastic and presented wonderfully.

I could not go past a cheese plate for dessert, but I got food envy looking at all the lovely desserts coming out.
Next time I am getting a sweet instead of savoury!

Recommend this place for an intimate dinner for 2, unless you have a group of 10 - 14 then you can be in the front semi-private room where we all were.

Went here with 3 other girls after some bowling.

We didn't feel like getting main each, so we decided to just basically order one of each of the meze plates. This was a very good decision!

Between the bread, dips, olives, antipasto platter, calamari and everything else, it made for a great grazing treat and we got to try a lot of different things.

Recommended for after work drinks, or a casual meal with friends.
