About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch
Good for groups

A place that feels like home.. I don't mean that in a sense that the place is covered in dog hair, the tv is blaring, the kids are screaming and there's lego all over the floor; more in a sense that you feel welcomed, content and at home from the minute you enter, right up until you leave. We wanted to create a place, that I myself, would want to visit on a regular basis. A place where your name is more important to us than your money is. A place where you feel like a regular from your first visit. A place where you feel like a part of our family. A place you felt you've been before. A place that feels like home.... Ok, so we have fancy wine glasses, twinkling candles, nice chairs and really shiny cutlery, but don't let that fool you... We're humble, both in our service and in our food, and pretentiousness and oversized egos were banished from the premises the day we started trading. We like looking the part, but life's too short for airs and graces...

A local neighbourhood gem located away from the masses with ample on street parking. An excellent range of dishes in offer freshly prepared and served very efficiently. All reasonably priced.

A very cute cafe with nice ambience and lovely helpful staff but the food for dinner was disappointing. The chicken tikka masala curry had a maple syrupy flavoured sticky side sauce which seemed out of place and the curry was very average. Despite asking for Gluten free, the meal came with pappadums on top cooked in the deep fryer which also fries glutenous food so had to request another meal. The vegie burger was nothing special but both were around $30 and amongst the cheaper options on the menu. Glad I hadn't ordered anything closer to $40 or I would have felt ripped off. Disappointed after reading such good reviews but maybe their breaky menu is better...
