Great bike shop. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I've been here for small and large repairs on my commuter bike and been happy with it all.

Staff always have time and great advice, without any hard sell.

Approximate cost: $100

Love Tandoori Nights. Great selection of food and nice atmosphere (though the toilets need some work).

I've eaten here at least 10 times and will keep coming back.

My only criticism is that I have to order meals spicy 'HOT' to get any spice at all. Anything 'medium' or 'medium-hot' comes out very mild.

Approximate cost: $15

Have gone here a few times as it's so close to home, but will not again.
Both the dentists I've seen here seem to be more concerned about upselling their other products (such as braces) rather than personal care. A neighbour who has also gone here has had the same experience of them suggesting expensive and unecessary orthodontic work.

Before that it even happens I was left in waiting rooms with big flat TVs screening awful commerical TV. I would much rather listen to music. If they have to have the TVs on, surely it should be on a non-commerical channel? Elsewhere throughout the surgery I also hear commerical radio.

Despite it's closeness I'll find another dental surgery.

EDIT: I spoke to Dr. Yap today who advised that they are reviewing the policy of having commercial TV on in the waiting rooms which is a good move. Some people may not mind it, but for others the loud commercials and celebrity 'gossip' while you wait is not a good start! Hopefully other businesses also review what's showing if they have screens. Thanks for listening to my concerns Dr. Yap.

Doctors here are okay, but the reception staff are so rude that I won't consider going here again, even though it's the closest surgery to me.

I've seen them being incredibly condescending to elderly patients and awfully abrupt to even the most simple requests. Have never seen medical reception staff being so neglectful.

I also had the misfortune of having to see a nurse here, who was so nasty that I didn't go back for follow-up treatment.

I gave this place multiple chances, thinking maybe they'd get better. Never again.

Approximate cost: $30

Terrible service here by the receptionists. I've been here three times now (never again) and every time the reception staff have been extremely dismissive to customers.

I understand that a doctor's reception can be busy, but I've never seen staff treat patients (who are often sick) with such contempt.

None of the three doctors I've seen here have been good enough to get me back.
