One of my most favourite lunch experiences in a very long time. Can’t pick the dish of the day because everything was amazing. An end of an era. Seriously one of best food experiences you could have. If you live in Sydney there’s still a week to book in!!

Food quality is always great at Dolar Shop, and the individual pots per person is a hygenic option. We ordered a moderate amount with nothing too expensive but still came up to more than $100pp which is quite pricey in this economy.
