This is the one stop shop, if you are looking for quality, variety and value for money when it comes to India spices and groceries. They have almost every kind of lentils, pulses, spices, ready to eat Indian dishes and flours. The variety is really good. They even have Indian veggies like green chillies, curry leaves, okra, lady's finger and like.They are the cheapest I have found in the last 3 years in Melbourne. They have a huge DVD collection in Hindi, Tamil and other Indian Languages. You must try the spicy chicken drumstick from the cafe, its awesome.

Its a pretty good gym for people in the city, who want to workout during lunch breaks or non-working hours. The cardio room has bikes, treadmills and cross trainers. The weights rooms has a good variety as well. The TVs and music is just ok. They also have classes like pilates, pump and yoga. If you live near Lonsdale st, they might even have a corporate deal with your work, worth checking. The showers are neat and clean. Nothing jazzy or great, but not bad at all. Its worth every penny. Its 30.00 per fortnight and also annual fee and admission fee. Your can even do a temporary stop on payments when you are on holidays and not coming to work/city.

Usually a quick and filling meal, this kebab shop is next to the car washing bay, you could wash and eat. The kebabs are very tasty and filling. They have wide variety of sauces- chilli too, you could have cheese as well with chicken, lamb or mix. When its crowded, they take about over 15 mins, otherwise they are pretty quick. They are just too yummy not to give it a try. Friendly staff too.

Approximate cost: $7.50

They have eat-in and takeaway as well. They have a wide variety of veg and non-veg dishes along with dosa, idli, vada & samosa available all day. They have daily specials (in terms of variety) in addition to rice/roti meals and biryanis available anytime. I usually get a takeaway for Friday dinners on the way back home from work in city. They are very quick in service and staff is experienced. They do accept cards with 50cents extra. You could even eat in there, good place to have a quick lunch or even for a group just to spend some time together with a big TV playing bollywood.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Nelsons Amcal Pharmacy Beauty Centre, Glenroy VIC

I had a Deep Cleanse facila done, just $49.50 for a 45 minutes facial and all products are used according to your skin type. All products used are grown in a farm in Adelaide. The beauty therapist was very good, Vicki, very friendly and good at her work. The service is too good and just felt so perfect to be there and having it done. They have other facials, waxing and massage as well. All services are affordable and worth every penny.

Approximate cost: $49.50

This review is for Haveli Indian Restaurant, Doncaster East VIC

I visited the place with my partner for a dinner. It was pretty busy, though it took time for them to take the order, after that the food did come one after. The food was good, but not worth the price. We had ordered all the mains to be hot amd spicy and only the rice was spicy. Thankfully, it was sweet, which is quite common in Indian restaurants. The service crew was good, they asked us twice how the things were, which was pleasing. It was a good dining experience, nothing great.

Approximate cost: $14
