This little cafe is frustratingly fascinating. I think it's confused - is it a chic Indian restaurant or an atypical Aussie fish and chip joint? Not sure they've pulled off trying to be both - the Indian food looked and smelt delicious but I wouldn't pay the prices they were charging to take it away and the seating area is 'ok' but not nice enough for a meal at that price. Then when it comes to fish and chips, $15 for a piece of Barramundi??? Oddly too when we ordered a hamburger they'd run out of patties. Not what I'd expect from an atypical Aussie fish and chip shop.
Despite all the above, the food was fresh and the chips lovely and hot, good sized serving, the $15 Barramundi was nice though not worth $15. Service wasn't fast especially given it was a quiet day, I wouldn't want to be there on a busy Summer's day. Staff had some problems understanding our order but did seem to be new. It was all up an 'ok' experience but could do with more work to be more than 3 *'s.
