It was a Wednesday night and a bit quiet as only three tables were occupied. The food came quite quickly and the service was friendly and efficient. I tried the chicken Korma which was good being creamy and not too spicy. My husband tried the Lamb Vindaloo and found it a bit too spicy. The dessert Mango Kulfi was satisfactory though it is not the season for mangeos.

Approximate cost: $11-14

It was a Friday evening and as expected, crowded. We reserved a table for 7 and was taken upstairs which is more roomy tan downstairs. the price is good but all of u found the food too salty and oily. The menu looks very creativ and it' not like the very familiar black bean or sweet and sour as in many Asian restaurants.

Approximate cost: $20.00

I've been there many times and the steak is what makes me keep going back. The best is Freddie's Favourite which is $25 but it includes a huge steak, salad (self serve), turkish bread (self serve) and unlimited tea and coffee. The pork chop is good too and only costs $18 and again includes everything. Friendly and cosy atmosphere and the staff are always kept busy.

Approximate cost: $20

I went there on a Friday night when they have $8 steaks. You can't really expect much of a steak for $8.the chicken schnitzel on special on Tuesdays is better, it used to be $5 but it's two for one now. Other items on the menu are generally good and the price is alright. The staff is friendly and there's ample parking.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Zenya Noodle Bar, Eastwood NSW

The Ramen is very good and the Bento is good value for money. You do have to wait especially on the weekend evenings. It's a bit like a fast food outlet so don't expect really good service and be prepared to leave once you finish. The food is the reason that keeps people coming back.

Approximate cost: $23.00

This review is for Masthai Seafood Restaurant, Beverly Hills NSW

The seafood here is always good, especially the crabs. This explains why it's still packed when the price is higher than the other Chinese seafood restaurants along the road. If you are a 'nocturnal' person, the supper after 10pm is really excellent value for money!

Approximate cost: $20.00 nut not seafood

A good place for a quick meal. Do not expect much service but you are not really ignored, it's just the staff is too busy serving. Good value for money and the variety is pleasing.

Approximate cost: $9.50

This review is for Cafe De Macau, Eastwood NSW

We went on a Saturday night which may help to explain the not so impressive service. It was packed and people were constantly waiting outside. The food was satisfactory but good value for money. The a la cart set dinner is worth a try and there are many exotic drinks on the menu which we did try and was happy with them. They do take reservations on the weekend evenings.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This review is for Aqua Vista, Drummoyne NSW

I would have given 4 stars for value had they not put up their price recently. Still it's worth it for the spectacular cove view. The food is good and since it's a club, the service is quite minimal but satisfactory. The 4 stars for overall is mainly because of the view, make sure you sit outside.

Approximate cost: $22

My workmates and I was there for lunch and we were recommended the banquet menu for $25 per person. The food was satisfactory but not as spicy as I expected for Indian cuisine. Beautiful cushions and relaxing atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $25 per person
