My favourite cuisine and finally a good Malaysian place in Werribee. Makan Place is a great concept, no bookings, you write down your order via codes and push a buzzer for wait staff to collect your order, very quickly! Staff are very friendly and happy to explain any menu item. Cooked fresh and fast, with a great drinks menu as well. Very inexpensive to boot. Yum.

Stopped here for lunch. Good menu with burgers and sides not to mention their spiked milkshakes. Great friendly staff and a great layout with trucker items throughout the whole restaurant, including two rigs. Fresh ingredients, great sauces and the trucker fries are to die for. Will be back to get my burger fix.

This review is for Xtreme Party Hire, Tullamarine VIC

Great business. I hired the boxing ring and gloves for a party and it was fantastic, we all had so much fun with it. Fantastic customer service, from the first enquiry to the equipment being picked up. They were also the cheapest I could find, especially for overnight hire. Everyone else charged more for 3 hours than Xtreme did for overnight. Delivered and picked up on time, equipment clean and well maintained. Could not fault them or recommend them highly enough.

This review is for Over the Top Party Hire, Point Cook VIC

Formally known as Evo's Party Hire, Over the Top are great. I hired their popcorn machine and slushie maker for a party and the price was reasonable and as a bonus you get everything you need for both, so no worrying about buying extra. The equipment was delivered in plenty of time and communication was always great. They also supply inflatables, lolly bar items, fairy floss maker as well as tables and chairs plus more. A great local company that donates their equipment for local community events for free, including community fairs and football clubs. Don't go past them for all your party needs.

This review is for Neale's Spit Roast, Hoppers Crossing VIC

verified email - 02 Nov 2015

I booked Neale's for my husband's 50th birthday and they were fantastic.They confirmed the details the week before and the food arrived exactly when they said it would. The roast meats were piping hot and came with all condiments, the salads fresh and tasty, fresh bread and hot baked potatoes were delicious. The desserts were also fresh and there was plenty of food for everyone. There was tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided as well along with all plates, cups and cutlery. It was great not to have the catering to worry about along with everything that comes with planning a party. A great business to deal with, I highly recommend them for your next event.

This review is for Eat8bit, Footscray VIC

We stopped here for lunch so it wasn't too busy. Nice short menu, good selection. We were served fast and waited 10 minutes for our food. The best burger I have ever had in my life. We had the double dragon, the 8bit cheese and onion rings. Funky set-up, great friendly staff. The burgers were super fresh, lots of toppings, even the bun was tasty. Well worth the trip if you're not from the west. Definitely will be back and I hope their pop-up venture keeps going.

This review is for Station Place Tavern, Werribee VIC

Was a bit iffy after reading some poor reviews but we couldn't have had a better night. What a wonderful couple that run this restaurant. We had beautiful home made dips and pita bread to share among 7 of us and there was plenty. Everybody's mains were great, lamb gyros, seafood skewers and a chicken dish. It was fun watching YiaYia cooking in the kitchen. Very hospitable and we were made to feel so welcome. They make a brilliant hot chocolate and coffee for afters as well. Will definitely be back to get our Greek on.

This review is for Dumpling Story, Hoppers Crossing VIC

verified email - 09 Jul 2015

Stopped here for lunch. Ordered prawn dumplings and chicken satays that were both unavailable...at lunchtime. Got a dish we didn't order but staff were happy to refund the price and gave us the dish anyway. We had pan fried chicken dumplings and were disappointed. They were just filled with chicken mince and a lot of ginger. Pretty tasteless. Char keow teoy was okay, not the authentic flavour you would get from a Malaysian restaurant. Vegetable spring rolls were crispy with fresh veg in them though you can hardly go wrong with them. Was looking forward to having my favourite prawn dumplings. Dumpling story is really just your main street noodle bar in a restaurant setting. Staff were great though. It would help if the staff at the register spoke better English so there is no miscommunication.

This review is for David Corp Dental Prothesis, Werribee VIC

My son has been seeing David to get his mouthguards for 4 years now. He is very professional and friendly, has a wide variety of colours for your mouthguard and for every mouthguard he sells, he gives a percentage back to your sporting club. At the start of the footy season, he gives you a free entry into his raffle to get your next mouthguard for free. He explains how to look after your mouthguard and will help out if you have any problems with them. I highly recommend him for any of your mouthguards. You can get single, double or triple colours. He also accepts a wide range of health funds. He doesn't have electronic payments though, it is cash only. You don't pay until you pick up your guard.

This review is for Conservatory, Southbank VIC

I booked dinner for 4 and requested a window table, advised we had one guest with coeliac disease and we were celebrating a birthday. We got our window table, and my friend was shown around the buffet with a chef advising her which dishes were GF. For once, she had a large selection of mains to eat, there was only about 4 dishes she couldn't have. The chef brought out a special GF dessert plate just for her. Another special birthday dessert platter was brought out for the birthday girl complete with lit candle. Our waitress was lovely, very attentive and friendly. We all loved the food and I even tried new things, such as the kingfish ceviche and sashimi. My friend loved the cheese platter station, complete with pastes, jams, lavosh, grissini etc. The dessert station was amazing, who doesn't love a chocolate fountain. Such a variety. The only downside is that drinks could be a bit cheaper, $6 for a glass bottle of soft drink is a bit steep. They made our special celebration a wonderful night out, impeccable service by all. Will definitely be back and recommended to friends.
