This place is a Balkan restaurant (i.e. Serbian/Croatian) hence the name and my parents and I went there as we are Serbo-Croatian. My parents were disappointed and I wasn't particularly impressed myself.

My mum and I had the Cevapcici (skinless sausage) with Kajmak (cheese) and my father had the Balkan equivalent of an Osso Bucco. My father said that his dish was quite dry but otherwise tasty, and my mother and I felt that the dish we got we could have made at home. And the amount of Kajmak was pretty average (tiny little dollop).
The guy who owns the restaurant kept talking to us and didn't offer us any drinks or menus and we were the only patrons (there had been a private party prior to that) and our table wasn't set even though we booked in advance.
Finally at the end of the meal when my father went to pay, he overcharged us by a lot but unfortunately my father didn't realise until we asked him how much it was!

Approximate cost: $90

This review is for Ingrid's Haven, Sunday Creek VIC

I adopted Slinky from Ingrid two months ago and I have to tell someone about how wonderful this woman is. She works at a separate job and runs Ingrid's Haven out of the goodness. She looks after the kittens, cats and senior citizens so well. The holding areas don't smell at all, all the litters are clean, there is always fresh food and water for all kitties.

Since my kitten is very very scaredy and timid I contact Ingrid often via email and she always helps out. All her cats are desexed, wormed, flead, and vaccinated twice. So that's better than any pet store.

Whatever you do DON'T USE A PET STORE. Horrible stories of those poor little kitties.

I don't have enough space to say how much I admire this woman and the work she's doing..

Ps. Yes it's in Wallan, but it's actually really quick to get there on the weekend. Just straight down Hume FWY. Takes about an hour, so don't let that put you off going to say hello.

Approximate cost: $130
