Very nice food like all of this chain, the resturaunt itself is very well decorated and stylish, probably one of the best laid out in Newtown, also one of the biggest.
They are BYO wine but not beer, which we found out last time we were there, bit annoying as we didn't like any of the beers they sell.
A little on the expensive side and seeing as there are so many Thai places in Newtown this seems a bit odd

This review is for Ecodirect, Brookvale NSW

We have a new baby and anyone with kids will be able to tell you about the volume on nappies that you go through. For me it feels a little like an environmental disaster or it would if we hadn't found EcoDirect.
We have been useing their nappies since baby was born, they are just as good as the huggies we were given from the hospital with the added benifit of being biodegradable. Also the wipes are fantastic and have no harsh and nasty chemical so are perfect for delicate skin.

The shipping is very fast and the products while a little more expensive are very good quality.

This review is for Jasmin Lebanese Restaurant, Lakemba NSW

Oh so we made a mistake when we went to Jasmins and took BYO wine, its and Alcohol free restaurant, don't make our mistake the wait staff are not very friendly or polite about this issue.

Other than that I thought that Jasmins was pretty good, all the food was nice, the atmosphere wasn't amazing but that may have been because we were there early and we'd annoyed the wait staff.

I had been told that it was amazing and the best in Sydney but i'm not sure i believe that person. it was good but not great. I'd happily go back there with friends but i might not book in there myself.

This review is for ZanziBar, Newtown NSW

We tried the ZanziBar's new Tapas Menu last week and over i'd say it was pretty good. We got a Spreet deal where we got 6 tapas plates and a glass of house beer or wine each, as i'm not drinking the staff upgraded my hubbies beer to a fancy one which he was very happy with.

The food was all good, not amazing or anything to shout from the rooftops about but good simple food done well.

I love the atmosphere at Zanzibar, the roof top bar is lovely on warm evening and even on cooler ones as they have so many heaters. Inside is sortof rustic Spanish look which is different compared to other places in Newtown.

Friday Saturday nights get a bit wild but are great for a big night out, midweek its lovely, rarely too busy and the staff are all really just so nice

This review is for Viking Gourmet Pizzas, Allawah NSW

Now you can't really argue with the price. The deals they offer are pretty amazingly cheap. We ordered 3 x Large Traditional Pizza, 2 x Garlic Herb Bread, 1 x 1.25L Bottle, 1 x Large Swedish Pizza Salad for $45 delivered. Very cheap.

The quality of the food is the issue, the pizzas didn't have much on them and were all a bit samey and really oily, the Swedish salad was... well... Cabbage soaked in vinegar, I'm sure its popular in Sweden but not really to my taste.

The delivery was fast which was great.

If you're a fan of oily cheese pizza and ham and pineapple go for as it is a very cheap deal it but if you are looking for something Gourmet maybe try somewhere else.

Approximate cost: $45

Its a weird idea isn't but for some reason it just works!
Viking has a great range of really interesting pizzas all named after Norse Gods. Oh and their delivery drivers wear helmets with horns on.
Really great food, fast delivery and good service in store

This review is for Flowers By Fruit, Beverly Hills NSW

We are totally in Love with Flowers by fruit. We has some of their arangments instead of table centres at our wedding which were hugely popular. I've also sent them to lots of friends as gifts, they are especially good for people who have just had babies as its easy to eat chopped up fruit for Mum to snack on and unlike flowers they don't arrive and die, they arrive and get eaten which i think is better.
Delivery is a little exie but its worth it

This review is for Moo Gourmet Burgers, Newtown NSW

I love the variety that this place has, lots of different meats and other topping in great creative mixes.

The atmosphere is great really fresh and funky. I love all the kids artwork on the wall.

Food is always fresh and made very fast. It can get very busy though on a friday or saturday night so be prepared to wait.

I'm very pregnant (8 months) and was craving a salad sandwich, don't ask me why but the body wants. I mentioned it to my sister and said "ok i know the place!"
She turned up at my place with honestly the biggest salad sandwich i have ever seen! It had everything on it, really yummy and really fresh! Exactly what i felt like!

I've been there a few time since and its always great and most importantly always busy which i take as a great sign.

This review is for Bombay Gourmet, Padstow NSW

This place is not just another Indian Restaurant!

Its also totally unexpected that you'd find this quality of food in Padstow of all places. Seriously they could move to some smancy looking place in the city and charge triple the price and people would pay it, the food is that good!

Every dish I've tried has tasted fresh and different and full of complex flavour. This is what Indian food is meant to be!
