This outlet has a huge range of rice, flour, seed, legumes, spices. herbs, nuts, curry pastes and, pickles and condiments. It doesn't just cater for Indian food - also has Sri Lankan, Fijian, Asian and Malaysian products, including fabulous cooking pots, fragrances etc. I originally visited to obtain reasonably priced gluten free flour and soon realised I could restock my pantry, especially spices, dried fruit, nuts and seeds for great prices. I have always had friendly service, but today it was noticeable more attentive. Now that I have a Thermomix, I will be returning more often so I can grind my own ingredients fresh.

Eye testing is efficient, thorough and friendly. The shop is spacious and well lit with a good range of glasses with 2 for 1 offers (especially good if you are in a health fund). I did strike a bit of resistance when I wanted to use my existing frames for one of my new lenses - it is apparently more work and takes longer. Overall, I am very happy with their service and product and will be returning next year.

Apart from lovely bread and bread rolls, this bakery has a good range of tasty sweet and savoury pies and tarts. Their ready made cakes are delicious and you can also custom order for that special occasion. They supply healthy fresh sandwiches, cold and hot drinks, choice of ice cream in cones and, as a blast from the past, lollies in a paper bag that you can pick and choose. Always friendly and swift to serve, we return again and again and again!

There is a really good range of yummy fare to chose, from something sweet with their hot coffee to savoury or bread for lunch and family pies for dinner. Service is usually efficient and friendly. There is an area outside the shop to sit and enjoy their food and read the paper.

I am an absolute newbie when it comes to sewing. With trepidation, I located a pattern and some material and then sought the advice of the assistant about whether the pattern was the right size, the material appropriate and how much to purchase. The service was outstanding, in spite of being a busy time with copious customers, the patient and friendly assistant took time to help and advise and encourage me in my project - even suggested I could come back if I get stuck. On top of that I got a discount! I am really impressed with the time and effort taken to help and will return again and again.

Wonderful service and product - the staff were interested in our foot problems and keen to help. They have a wide range of quality shoes and great prices. We will be returning ready for next season!

This review is for The Plaza Fish & Chippery, Hastings VIC

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! We will definitely return! The first thing we noticed was the clean air smell - not old oil - and the light and brightness of the shop. The menu has a good variety of options and is affordable. The salads look fresh, we didn't order one but will next time! Our fish and chips were very tasty - decent amount of fish, chips hot and firm. Easy to find, easy parking.

This is the only place we buy pizza. The food is great - not just the pizzas and the price is very affordable. We really enjoy their special pizzas and they don't cost an arm and a leg! Great service, product and value!

This review is for Bayside Shoe Warehouse, Seaford VIC

I used to be excited about going into this store - loved the smell of leather that hits as you enter. There is an extensive range of shoes for all needs/occasions. However, the last 2 times I have visited the service has been less than impressive. With only one other customer in the shop, I was surprised by the unfriendly attitude of the staff...the best word I can find to describe it is dismissive. As a returning customer, I am not sure that I will bother again.

This is a place we keep returning to because of the value, service and entertainment. Great variety in the menu and pensioner discounts as well. It's good to book because it is popular and get there early or you will be part of the long line up to order...still it's worth the wait. Great family restaurant (If you need a high chair you will need to book this) or for a group - love the log fires in winter!
