This review is for Oasis Bakery - Middle Eastern, Murrumbeena VIC

verified email - 13 Nov 2014

I remeber when oasis was a little hole in the wall with a kitchen as small as my bedroom - this takes over 3 shop fronts now and is forver growing. The food is delish and the groceries are great. I love the shawama with the pickled cabbage and tahini - its amazing. All the food is home made and full of flavour - the pizza style breads are great to keep at hom ein the freezer for guests too. The only thing is that they are so busy that sometimes the service is not great but you can understand why.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Hobba Coffee + Kitchen, Prahran VIC

I absolutely LOVE hobba - i have been here so many times and taken different people. The service is great and the food is even better. This place has an awesome modern meets industrial feel to it. The coffee is consistently great. The breakfast of cured salmon is my favourite and the hobba burger is a hit with the boys. I highly reccomend this place for brunch/lunch or even functions.

This review is for Zagame's, Caulfield East VIC

Zagames is pretty local to my place so have been there a number of times. Its a great place to go to in a bigger group because they can accomodate - and you pay the at bar/restaurant so don't need to split bills at the end. The food is consisent - nothing amazing but good for what you pay. My partner enjoys the pizza which is thin and crispy - and on my most recent trip I had a Caesar salad which was ok - a little too much dressing.
The entertainment for the kids is also great and then for the adults the TAB with a big screen and the pokies. The staff in the restaurant and the gaming are lovely and attentive.

This review is for OzSale, Brookvale NSW

verified email - 13 Nov 2014

I have brought a couple times from ozsale but have recently had a terrible experience.
I sent an enquiry to ozsale to querie the adverstised item as it was pictured as grey, and the title stated "grey quilt cover set" however the descpirtion of the item was blue. On the inital contact back the lady said the sale is no longer on, so i went back onto the website and saw that is was in fact still on for another few days and the item was still avaliable - not sure how somebody working there could mistake this!!!!
I then responded and expalined the sale was current and the items still avaliable and the second response i got (days later) was that I will need to go by the items description - as you can imagine the description stated two different things - so i then responded AGAIN and it's now been 3 days later with no response and the sale will end without me able to purchase...

The best place to go for bulk lollies, nuts and odd food stuffs.
The prices are great and the vaiety is endless. You do find that the stock changes and they havea few different things every now and then. Always go here when i have parties

This review is for Capital Kitchen, Chadstone VIC

This is my favourite place to eat Brunch at Chaddy. They do a great breakfast, simple, but good.

I always get scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and mushrooms.

It's also a good place to meet for a coffee and cake or lunch and a drink. They have two counters that you can order from, fresh salads and sanwiches and then a made to order menu.

The food is good, the prices are pretty good considering location and the coffee is great.

I love that they sell a few of my favourite groceries (some packaged crackers and biscuts)

This review is for Prahran Health Foods, Prahran VIC

Reasonable prices and super friendly staff. Both times I have been I have stocked up on all our vitamins and some gluten free products for mum and saved about $30 compared to what I would pay if I went to the health shop in chadstone. What stands out for me is the service here too, they really do go above and beyond. I always recommend my friends to go here.

This review is for Mamasita, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 26 Feb 2013

My experience at Mamasita started with a 40 minute wait, which was fine with me, as i knew it would be worth the wait. We were seated on stools facing the wall, which wasn't the best view, but we decided to sit there instead of waiting longer.

We started with the frozen Granitas, they were delish - lime and mint!! Then the corn came out. That was amazing, I really loved it - highlight of the meal.

Then we had some crab tostads, which were nice. The chevice with coconut milk was good too. I found the pork tacos to be little dry, but still nice. We also ordered a Quesedilla, i found it to be qquite bland and not too exciting.

I would defintaley go back for the corn and the yummy sweetcorn ice cream dessert!

Second best mexican in melbourne - first being Newmarket :)

This review is for Mamma Dukes, Caulfield East VIC

Whenever I visit my friend who goes to Monash Uni we always come here. The place is really modern and cool, and the food is fresh and reasonably priced.
I have also been to a function that was done so well.

This review is for The Pancake Parlour, Malvern East VIC

verified email - 09 Jan 2013

I'd have to say, it is what it is. Pancakes are great, in particular the rhubarb and marscapone. Great set up for large groups and fun for kids. They also have a bar where you can sit outside which suits late in the night as they are open 24/7

Approximate cost: $15
