Decided to go here with friends this week, just wanted something small to eat and have a drink. There really isn't a lot of room in this cafe, especially if it's busy. Our drinks arrived 15 minutes after ordering them and our food another 10 minutes later. Would have been better if everything arrived at the same time, overall everything was very tasty and our coffee, just they way we like it. The menu looked very interesting, I do like mexican food but not this time round. The staff were friendly enough, just a bit slow. I felt we spent most of our time waiting. It certainly seems to be a popular place for lunch. Will return at some stage, but only when it's not so busy.

This Cafe certainly is different, they have an interesting breakfast menu but we were there for lunch, which was also interesting. They serve a variety of different food, spanish, mexican, coffee, house pizza (which is what we had, and it was delicious) we also had some brushetta for an entree. The servings were ok, the quality fairly good but overall I wish we had just gone to the pub for lunch. We were not having a good day finding somewhere different to eat. I do not believe we will be returning, just wasn't such a great experience. Try for yourself.

I tried this cafe out yesterday with my girlfriend as she wanted to go. Not really my kind of place, I felt it was more for older people. We just stayed for a coffee as I didn't like the look of the menu, seemed a bit pricey and just uninteresting. The coffee was ok, but took a long time to get it to us. They have seating both inside and out, service wasn't great and didn't really like the atmosphere. Not something for younger people. Wanted to have lunch here, but went elsewhere. Will not be returning.

Not somewhere I will be returning to. I had a meal here with my friends and can't say it was great, it was ok. The service was very slow and my garlic naan was overcooked (burnt!!!!) I ordered the Hot Beef Curry, it was not hot in taste nor particularly warm when it arrived at the table, the only part of my meal that I enjoyed was the onion bhajis, which were delicious. My friends described their meals as average. I regularly eat indian food and this certainly was disappointing. There menu was not very big, small servings and feel it was all overpriced. Will not be returning.

Great little Middle Eastern Cafe with delicious fresh food. I ordered a lamb Munooshi which seemed like a mixture between a calzone and yiros placed in pita bread and folded over. Very tasty with a nice spicy flavour with yoghurt and salad. You can watch them prepare it from all the fresh ingredients laid out in front of you. Very fast friendly service, very small dining area inside as well as out. Decided to have it as take away as there was not room to sit and enjoy, so get in early if you want a seat. Very reasonable prices and service with a smile. Definitely returning.

This is one chinese restaurant that I will not be returning to. The service was terrible, even though they were not busy, the food was either overcooked or undercooked, hardly any meat, I had to go fishing for it. Maybe they were having an off day, but I will not be returning and neither will my friends.

Fabulous Fooood! This little cafe certainly has an american feel to it, absolutely love their American menu, there is so much to choose from so I will be going here multiple times. Loved their onion rings, nacho's, american milkshakes with whipped cream and as for their burgers and fries - you have to try for yourself. They have a burger challenge (which I did not try) you have to eat this burger and a basket of fries in 10 minutes and it free, if you don't then it's $22. The burger consists of "4" beef patties, "8" slices of cheese, bacon, salad - just to mention a few. Whilst it looked delicious, I didn't think I could do it. The record is around 4 minutes, how, I do not know! Also, yes they have cupcakes, so many cupcakes, my girlfriend had a very difficult time selecting which to try, as there are around 20+ to choose from.
Really enjoyed going here for something really different, the menu is huge, the people are very friendly, great service and american atmosphere. Excellent food! Definitely recommend, definitely returning.

Unimpressed! Went here with some friends as they wanted to try this place out. The only good thing about this place is that the prices were ok, the service however, wasn't. They placed our drinks on the table and you could see that the glasses had not been washed properly. Felt the food was average, had the satay beef for entree and then didn't really want anything else, it was overcooked. I like tender meat not dry crispy meat coated in sauce to hide it. I wasn't the only one that felt this way, we all decided to just have an entree and then leave. Will not be returning.

I have been here a number of times now, their food is fabulous! You can eat in or take away. I usually order one of their plain pies, I have tried the curry beef pie and it was great, the pastry was light, it was full of flavour. The sausage rolls are a must and once you see their cakes/donuts you wont know which to try. My favourites are the chocolate custard berliner and vanilla slice. They also do hot chips and burgers as well as many other meals, a reasonable menu, is a bit pricey, but worth it. You can eat inside and also outside dining. But what I really like is that they are open 24/7.

I picked up some take away from here yesterday on my way home, it wasn't my first time and it wont be my last. They make the best Salt & Pepper Pork Spare Ribs and Salt & Pepper Calamari. Have also tried their Spicy King Prawn & Squid, absolutely delicious, incredible fresh taste and the prices really are reasonable starting from around $9.50 for a main meal. I have never seen such a large extensive menu with over "100" meals to choose from. You can eat in, but there aren't very many tables, I prefer take away. Also the servings are very generous and the staff are very quick and friendly. My only complaint is figuring out what to order! Definitely recommend you try.
