Nice convenient kebab shop locally, open till late and serves great food for a late night snack. I usually just go for a kebab and no doubt will enjoy it every time. I haven't had many kebabs to taste the difference but I am happy with the quality here. Service and staff are friendly at any time of the day.

This review is for Szepco Motors, Rooty Hill NSW

A family owned business located in Rooty Hill, one you wouldn't find unless being a local or referred. I had been referred to this mechanic from a friend of mine which I am very happy I have. From this day, Szepco Motors have been my main mechanic also for my family as well. Easily contactable regarding a general service appointment. I was extremely impressed with the communication and their customer service.

Ask for the Mechanic Tim, young mechanically trained boy who is polite, intelligent and knows what you need. The first service I had was just general. Replacing all my fluids and tested what usually is needed. One good thing he had advised what are recommended product to use to maintain the car and if things needed to be replacing, if you'd like the aftermarket parts or genuine.

From this experience Tim was able to pin point a few extra mechanical issues than a mechanic I used to see and explained why.
I was also able to call them for emergency as I could not turn on the car and they responded immediately (depending on location). Something that not all mechanics have, which is very ideal.

Since the first service I have return to this Mechanic been here for 3 years not yet have had a problem. Give them a go, you will be more than happy to return back to their service as I am.

Customer service is terrible here. Food is the same, you know why you're here because you know it will be "fast food". I asked if a promotion was still which was the megamac and the staff member did not know what is was nor knew who to ask. anyways I eventually jst ordered a bigmac with an extra patty. Waited for about 10mins got home and they forgot to add the extra patty?

The good thing I kept my receipt and showd the staff and they were happy to provide me an extra patty with extra small chips.

I heard a lot of fuss about this place, ideally because I work opposite from the restaurants. A colleague said the quality of the food is better than some fine dining restaurants- and she is also a foodie. So I decided to give it a go for my graduation lunch.

I booked a table outside with waterfront view and had 6 people with me. Upcoming to the restaurant, the waitresses approached and sat us down. We were here for the Lunch Special menu which were a couple choices of meals for all under $20 and comes with a drink. Its was a beautiful day which made our experience sitting outside wonderful with the waterfront view. I chose the barramundi with green veges while the others chose the salmon and scotch fillet. All food on plates looked very well presented and tasted delicious for its value. The staff were very relaxed and helpful during this occasion.

As thinking about my colleague's statement it is definitely a place I would consider coming back for the Lunch menu and I am also open minded to try the others too although they are expensive around 25-40$

Approximate cost: $20

One of the best burger joints have tasted in a long time. You have to come in only for the takeaway menu. There is indoor and outdoor seating for dining but many customers just come in for takeaway and it is VERY noisy so you wouldn't have a romantic experience. You get a couple of choices in the Takeaway menu but by far you must try the 'original burger' with chips and drink...if you love onions get that too for an extra .50c. The burger size is huge compare to many burger joints but also very tasty. Once you get your burger, the staff asks you to choose between a mayo or sweet chili sauce.. GET BOTH, if your lactose, try it its worth it! The other choice I get is the half chicken chips and drink, the chicken is delicious and very juicy! something to get if you don't want the burger. unfortunately I hadn't tried anything other than the two as I am completely satisfied what they have to offer so far.

Its definitely a place to go back to as the food is quality and price is definitely worth it.

Had this place for my graduation celebration for 2. Such a lovely environment to be around, brings the Japanese culture while you dine.. Although its not a full Japanese Restaurant but if you're in for food this is the place!
My partner and I sat in for the Deluxe Menu Buffet which was on a Saturday and costed 52.80 for 1.5hr session 1 hour of ordering and the extra 30mins to finish the food- pricey, but as we were here to celebrate.

The staff were happy and polite and gave us the menu for the Deluxe Menu and we were offered to select the dishes. The food came nicely plated. We were a little confused if we were to start the Korean bbq or the staff. Eventually another staff member came around and noticed us not eating yet and turned it on.
At this point we ordered a huge menu and ill pick the favourites; Wagyu Rib Fingers, Wagyu Thin Skirt, Sashimi (don't forget to put it on the grill of you like grilled! we didn't do that till the end when remembering), Kingfish sashimi, Scallops, Wagyu Rib Meat.

Well worth if you have an aggressive stomach, very tasty and definitely would come back another time for the Deluxe Menu

Terrible service and lack of urgency for the receptionists. I had lodged a form 3 weeks ago to be posted to homeowners. The receptionist were happy to give feedback within the next few days once they have done it. Went to follow it up over the weekend after the second week and Ashleigh said that the staff person who has looking after the letter hadn't been in and will be arriving on Monday. So I called in on that Monday, and the staff was not yet available. After knowing that for a simple letter to be posted why should you need only that one person to post a letter? Eventually someone else took the role and did it immediately after we showed that we were not happy.

This review is for CHI Clinic, Blacktown NSW

on 21 september sunday was my first visit to this clinic. I had been referred by a fellow friend of mine although no certain massage therapy was reffered. initially the welcoming was great, they immediately asked if I wanted a massage or service. I went there to have a 35$ back shoulder and neck massage (without oil). I was first sat to have a 5min shoulder massage before entering/waiting for a room free. The staff understood if the pressure was soft or hard they can amend to those requests. The rooms were OK however if the shopping centre was busy you may complain of the noise when getting massaged. All in all, the experience was great and very convienient.

Known for its 'Healthy Burgers' and its happy customers!

I tried the 'Baa baa burger' which is obviously a lamb burger and is quite tasty. There is nothing bad that I could comment about anything on the burger. You have a choice of different bread buns too. As a meal, you can only buy foods separately which means you can either stay with the burger or grab chips/salad on the side which are also seasoned with healthy ingredients of herbs! Worth my experience and I'm keen to try what the other burgers taste like!

The business helps raise awareness for different community groups. With any purchase you are given a bottle cap - which you get to chose a charity group and at the end they donate $500 to which group has the most bottle caps of each month.

Friendly staff and service is quick. Prices do come abit expensive, but dishes are served fresh and are very unique.

Approximate cost: $10+

This review is for Noggi, North Ryde NSW

Usually here this place from friends, so I came in and see what the fuss was about. The shop is pretty much famous for its frozen yoghurt and toppings which is actually delicious as they both come in a variety of different flavors and combo's. The main competitor is Moochi - which is pretty close from each other, with popular demands at any time of the day. I do understand why the lines are so long!
I have not tried Moochi yet, but at the moment, I would recommend coming to Noggi for desert! They have a variety of other goods including drinks too! The price is around $5 but worth the yoghurt!

Approximate cost: $5
