Amazing dining experience for our family. Starting with a truly warm welcome and a friendly smile. Kids menu: lovely to see a different option than nuggets and burger!! Pork belly was really delish and tender. Biryani was tasty, full of flavour, and large serving. Well deserve a stop!!

Stopped for lunch on a rainy day. Delicious entrees, and quite unique. I had the sautéed mushrooms with spinach served over Turkish bread and topped with 2 poached eggs. Yummy. My friend had the Coconut Chili Lime Prawns which he said were excellent. The portions were large. Friendly staff. Fast service.

Had a delicious omelette! Love that there’s an all day breakfast on offer. New owners and staff extremely welcoming. Dinner menu available too. Easily managed the stairs but was informed a lift is coming soon. Very happy to support hardworking local business.
