My daughter goes to this Preschool and has done so for the last 12 months.
I cannot say enough how extremely pleased I am with this child care center.
My daughter who is now 3 was made very welcome right from day one. Her eating habits have improved dramatically and her social and academic skills (alphabets, numbers and colors etc) have just developed immensely.
I am a paranoid parent, so I used to call daily and talk to her class teacher about how her day has been, did she cry and how she is eating.
Now I don't even have to worry, she doesn't cry, eats well and is a social butterfly !
At the end of the year, they gave me a full portfolio full of photos of her with friends and going about her along with paintings she had done and a comprehensive review of her skills and progress for the year.
The teachers and staff themselves are very very nice and easy to deal with.
Cant recommend highly enough.

I sometimes go here for their Portuguese burger.
Not too hot, just right.
Chicken burger with Peri Peri sauce.
Very nice and fresh ingredients.

As a takeaway, this joint has it all.
Chicken, Chips, salads, some pasta and a massive variety of drinks.
Their sandwiches are very nice. Particularly because they use fresh ingredients which you can see right in front of you.
All the cooking, cutting and packing happens right in front of you can you can see that they are clean and well kept.

The service is brilliant and they now even remember my name and the orders for me and my group of 3 others regulars that we go there with.

A very nice place, though seating is only for about 20 people so you make have to take away rather then eat there as they can get very busy.

Approximate cost: $6.00

$7.00 for a regular rice with 2 choices.
$8.00 for large rice and 2 choices.
$10.00 for a large and a can of drink (my usual)

I go here frequently for their lunch offerings.
I love the Chilli chicken and Chilli Pork.
The teriyaki chicken is also very nice. Quite different as its not cut up and cooked in teriyaki sauce but rather cooked in a large piece with the sauce, and then the sauce is all added on top.
Rice, Chilli chicken and Teriyaki chicken with a can of coke, Yumm.

Definitely better then most places for lunch. Better than any Asian take away in Westfields as well.

Only issue is parking, you will have to park on the street. Cost is $1.60 per half hour.

This is one of my regular lunchtime Friday visits.
Located on church street between George and Phillip, it is now a fusion of Indian and Persian meals.
I haven't tried the Persian meals but go there for the Lunchtime special.
$9.90 for Main, Naan and Rice.
$2.50 for Can of soft Drink. (sometimes I take the $3.00 Mango Lassi if I am going to eat spicy food)

Food is excellent value and very tasty.
The Butter Chicken is one of the best in Parramatta and the Naans are a nice size for lunch. The rice in in a small bowl.
All up, its more than enough for lunch.

I would recommend the following from the lunch menu:
- Butter chicken
- Chicken Methi
- Lamb Rogan Josh
- Lamb Vindaloo

They can make food VERY hot if you ask, so be careful.

Definately a must visit for Lunchtimes.

This review is for Awafi Charcoal Chicken, Granville NSW

Lets make this simple.
Take away 1/4 chicken and chips = $6.50
Eat in is $11.50
Same size chicken, slightly larger chips and you get some pickles and a plate.
Chicken is awesome, so is chips.
Garlic sauce is to die for !
But to eat in is not the best value option. Best option is to grab a take away and pay $6.50 for a great chicken and chips with Garlic sauce.

Approximate cost: $13.50

I went here to buy my Gigabyte GHz Edition 7970 a week ago.
Very good service and the person who attended to me gave me some great advice on how to configure multiple monitors etc which I needed to know.
Also beat the price that I saw elsewhere by $5.
Most of the time, they are very competitive with price.
Very happy and will be going back again if I ever need anything for my PC.

Approximate cost: $450

Went here for Dinner yesterday.
Everything here is setup like its an village in India.
Nice setup, a bit cramped but enough space to dine nicely.
Food was good, not too expensive.
Service was ok too. Nothing to complain about but nothing to cheer about either.
All in all, I would go back.
Its pretty authentic.

Approximate cost: $15.00
