Reviews by ach
Have eaten here a few times, and to be honest fail to see what all the hype is about. Sure, the burgers are nice, the ingredients fresh, and I enjoyed the meal on the whole.. but no 'wow' factor. Nothing made the place stand out like some other reviews have lead me to believe it should, and the only reason for my repeat business has been convenience.

I love the salted caramel macarons best. I shared a box with my girlfriend last year and haven't had better! I am a massive macaron fan-- I can't help myself trying every macaron that drifts onto my radar -- and these were some of the best I've tried.

Great place. Went here originally on a Scoopon and it's one of the few places I've gone back to. Hotdogs are delicious, I'd recommend the chili dog any day. Guys manning the place are friendly and willing to have a chat. Go here for your next weiner experience, you won't regret it!

The new owner explained that the liquor licence was still coming due to a snafu from previous owner, so in the meantime they are doing breakfasts and lunches. Food is good, a lot better than previously, and the staff are much nicer!
Lovely flavours and generous serves.
Give it a go, even if you've not enjoyed it before.

Amazing food here, the large thali plate including 3 curries is around 10 bucks, and there's always a great selection of curries at varying heat levels.. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to hot food but have always been able to find enough to fill my thali without burning a hole through my mouth! What's great is that they do a takeaway pot of rice and curry for 5 dollars, perfect for when I'm on my way home from the city and want something delicious to eat when I get in. Would highly recommend, better than a lot of indian restaurants I've been to in Melbourne.

Went there a few days ago and got the large cup, 3 flavours for $6 (much cheaper than anywhere in St Kilda). I had the Cherry Ripe, which wasn't bad but a bit bland, the Apple Pie which tasted just like a real pie, and the Cinnamon and Pear that was a bit more cinnamon tasting than pear but on the whole still delicious. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend it, they had some unusual flavours and was on the whole a lot better than expected.

I've been here several times now, and each time the food's been delicious. They don't have the biggest menu in the world, only about 6 dishes when we've been for lunch, but what they do have is great. Would recommend the Crunchy Cow in particular! The staff have also remembered us after not being in for a few weeks, which is great!

I've been visiting Northside since I arrived in the country, and it far outstrips any doctor's I've been to before. Throughout every visit there I've been treated with respect and genuine kindness, and they made what have been some horrible health issues almost a pleasure, haha. They specialise in LGBT healthcare, and when prescribing medication or referring you elsewhere take into account your circumstances, financial or otherwise.

Have had a great experience whenever I've been here, the updated menu is great although I'm still bereft at the grilled haloumi being gone from the menu! Not usually a fan of vegetarian food, but this place makes it a treat rather than a chore!

Visited here a few days ago with my partner, her parents and half siblings. Of the 6 meals, the 2 Beef Colorado's were inedibly salty, the prawn salad was depressingly low on prawns and the taquitos were dry and tough inside. The nacho's were great, I'll give them that, but for the price I expected a lot better. As far as drinks, the Banana Daquiri was tasteless and the frozen Lime, Lychee and Coconut Margarita average at best.
