This is a little hidden gem. From the outside it always seems to look rather empty but when you eat in you soon realise how many take-away orders are getting picked up from the back door. Serving sizes are good and so are the prices. They often run shop-a-docket deals on the back of Woolworths receipts which are great value. It's definitely worth a visit.
Major disappointment... Heard about the prices and decided to give it a go... I soon realised why the prices were so cheap... the food was terrible and serving sizes were not even big enough to feed my four year old. The overall quality and quantity was simply just not good enough. I would much rather pay a few more dollars to get a decent meal. Above all, the service was terrible... We were not given menus for almost 20 minutes and never received the water we asked for after 2 repeat requests. I know a number of friends who have had similar experiences here. Will certainly never return.
We stumbled over this restaurant late one night while driving around looking for somewhere to eat, even though they were about to close they stayed open so we could have a sit down meal! How awesome is that? And it was mid-week! Every time we go there it is great service and yummy! :)
