This review is for Warrandyte Retreat, Warrandyte VIC

I went here with a number of other mums with our babies. The food was ok, our meals did not all arrive at the same time, even though it was not that busy.

The service was pretty ordinary, having to ask a number of times for various things.

Over the phone for our booking we had made it quite clear on the number of prams we would have with the extra room needed, the did not accommodate - fortunately it was not busy and we could spread out.

Approximate cost: $15

We got a couple of fish from here (heads removed) on a weekday. When we went to use them, we found that there was still some guts that had not been cleaned out in both of the fish. It tainted most of fish with a horrible flavour.

Approximate cost: $15 - 40/kg

This review is for Knox City Shopping Centre, Wantirna South VIC

This is a really really good shopping center. You will almost always find what you are after here whether it is a present, or practical house stuff or clothes etc. It has most of the majors except Big W, Safeway and David Jones. There are heaps of the smaller stores of all variety.

it is also easy to get around especially with a pram.

This is a new very flash shopping center. It is good for a "trip out" unless you have a fair bit of money or want to visit one of the very specific stores. The amenities are always clean.

This review is for La Grotta, Briar Hill VIC

We have only ever had take away pizza from here. It has always been really nice, lots of good quality topping and a very reasonable price. The staff are variable and you have to make sure you are clear on what you are ordering.

Approximate cost: $9 large

This review is for Briar Hill Fish And Chips, Briar Hill VIC

The fish and chips from here are great! They use the "old style" batter than hardly and fish and chip stores use any more. The chips are never greasy, the fish is always just right.

You can phone through order to make it quicker.

This review is for Machan's Indian Restaurant, Eltham VIC

verified email - 10 Nov 2009

The service here is excellent, very obliging but also give you your own space.

The food is good but not the "best" I have had although some of their dishes are very nice. I think you just have to work out what their best dishes are and stick to them.

Approximate cost: $10-$16

This review is for Avtar Indian Takeaway, Heidelberg VIC

verified email - 10 Nov 2009

These guys NEVER disappoint when we get Indian from them. We have our favorites that we get and they are always spot on. And if you ask for it chilli hot, it actually comes hot, especially once they get to know you. Their vindaloo is the best we have every had.

The ingredients are of a really high quality, never get any chewy or fatty bits of meat.

You can eat in, but it is more aimed at takeaway - if you eat in, you might end up hosting one of their young sons who wander around the store.

Approximate cost: $8-$12

This review is for Monty's Pizza, Montmorency VIC

The pizzas from here are great, they always have so much topping and there are quite a few to choose from. Ingredients and fresh and tasty.
The garlic bread is not so good. They are often better value if you pick up.

Approximate cost: $13 large

This review is for Target, Greensborough VIC

This is an excellent Target. It has a HUGE range of products for everything. It is set over 2 floors so there is heaps of room. I particularly like the babies range of products.
