The two of us had dinner here recently. Although not the pinnacle of contemporary style, the restaurant is comfortable and nice enough to eat in and the modern Indian pop music is quite good. Also, it is set back from the road, so quieter, and it was easy to get a park in the parking lot, so we didn't have to walk at all. Overall, the meal was good and I would come back here, although I might give it 3.5 stars if I could.
We had two beef dishes and they were both rather flavoursome but not overwhelming. The beef did not have gristle in it, but one dish had slightly tough beef, which was still okay, and the other had more tender beef. The vegetables were nice but more subtle in flavour, which was probably a good contrast to the other dishes. Unfortunately, they were not cooked enough, although they were cooked and did not cause digestive issues afterwards. The naan was not as soft as some I've had but okay.
The prices of mains were average, and I feel that being in a cheaper location than the CBD, perhaps they could be a little lower. However, I would definitely consider returning to this place and recommend others trying it.

I got my hair cut and coloured at Valiage recently. The hairdresser was very friendly and chatty, which helped the time to pass quickly. She had lots of ideas for what to do with my hair. They did a really fantastic job on my hair and I could not have been happier with the end result. They tailored the work to exactly what I wanted and the price was very reasonable and very good value. I highly recommend this salon.

The website of this business makes strong statements about their friendliness, conversation, caring about your hair, and professionalism. The older woman with the sun-baked face who had asymmetrically cut short grey hair served me. I couldn't believe how much she was the opposite from the claims on the website. She screwed up her nose while commenting on how damaged my hair was and didn't display any courtesy whatsoever. When I asked her if she could get rid of the split ends on my hair, she just said 'no' emphatically and imperiously, "because there are so many of them". She spent literally about 5 minutes on my hair and then 'announced' it was done. If there was any reason for her to dislike me, I have absolutely no idea what it may have been. Regardless, obviously she didn't do a good job and was very unprofessional. What a rip-off. The funny thing is, there are lots of hairdressers in this area and if she behaves like she doesn't want customers, her business won't survive.

Approximate cost: $30
