Been going here for a decade. They refreshed the store last year, and this family business continues to deliver great food. Visitors always impressed with their food too.

Very impressed with the service provided for the service of a loved one. Staff were respectful, discreet where necessary, and were excellent to deal with as an organiser. We decided to have refreshments there afterwards, and the food was great quality and delicious. They took all the stress out of a difficult day. They also accommodated last minute changes/wishes. Our family appreciated your service and care.

EDIT: Used again in 2020 and equally impressed.

A true professional- exceptional service:

Jacqui was exceptional in helping us prepare a wonderful celebration for the life of a loved one. Nothing was too much trouble, and was contactable at all times. She took such care in getting to know us as a family, as well as our passed loved one, and helped us with planning the perfect service.

On the day of her service, Jacqui was amazing. She paid tribute such a beautiful way, and supported us all in being a part of it. You made the day perfect. Jacqui- I hope we don't need your services for a long time (as we never want to say goodbye to loved ones), but you will be the person we call when the time arises. Thank you for making such a sad day special.

Fresh products- huge range. Meat sliced to liking. We are regulars. Much better since Joe has taken over.

They also have wonderful catering service. We ordered a selection of cold and warm foods (all to our taste/budget), and they arranged the most delicious cake for us. The list of available cakes was mouth-watering! We were very happy with the price, and I don't think we could have done it cheaper ourselves. All was delivered to our door on time, hot/cold as it should be, and beautifully presented.

This place is always busy for a very good reason.

EDIT: Business closed in 2018/2019

After hearing these guys advertised on 3AW, I thought I would give them a call. I requested someone to come out a few months in advance (trying to be prepared) to assess our home, and give us a quote for packing and moving, and possible unpack at the other side.

On the day, just before the appointment time, I received a call from the owner saying that he was running late, and couldn't find the place, so wasn't coming. Instead, he gave me a quote on the phone saying he was experienced, and just knew what we needed and what it would cost. I did not find this satisfactory given he didn't really ask many questions about our home/contents on which to base that decision. Plus, it was quite expensive.

So, a couple months down the track I decide to make another quotation booking (benefit of doubt), and a lady comes out. Not only did she smell of cigarettes, her clothing was rather inappropriate (short tight black dress). It seemed to me that she had no idea what she was talking about either (ie- she asks, what do you call that piece of furniture?), and didn't really absorb the answers I was giving her as she repeated the questions over and over again.

At the end of the visit she asks ME how many trucks I think I will need! Isn't that the whole point of them coming out?!?!

In the week that followed the quoting was erratic, and seemed to be based on what they thought would get my business, rather that quoting on need/requirements.

I will never call them again, and hardly consider them White Glove Movers. I would rather pack and move myself than use them. Sorry Sievwright, but it's 100% true.

Clean, quick and reasonably priced for pedicures. Their masage chairs are very relaxing. Never been disappointed with the result.

Have not used their manicure service, but seems to be flat out.

We have been going to this restaurant for many years, and it never disappoints. Great variety on the menu. Quality of the food in house, or as take-away, equally delicious. Love the fresh aromatic herbs they use in most dishes. Meat is always tender, and vegetables fresh.

Prices are on the higher side for take-away, but given the quality we keep going back. If dining in you always need to book. They have recently extended the size of the restaurant which has doubled their service space. Décor is comfortable. Kids are welcome. Even suitable for a quiet dinner for two. Bit squishy for prams or wheelchairs when a full house.

Service is professional, fast, and without fault with both dine-in and take away. Once with a take-away order they missed a dish- I was barely down the road when my mobile rang to let me know they had made an error.

Should mention they also have FREE home delivery, but waiting times for home delivery are a little bit longer.

Eat here- you wont be sorry.

I was dreading moving. Packed one day, and moved us the next- a full 3BR home plus study.

Guys were STRONG, friendly, efficient and very careful with our belongings. They communicated well with me, and nothing was too much trouble. The put the kids' beds up, and even popped their pillows on making it look like home instantly.

Similarly, dealings with head office were excellent, professional and prompt. They quoted the right number of packers, men & trucks after chatting with me. I received pre-move confirmation calls, and knew exactly what was happening, when, and how much it all would be.

We were happy with what we paid for both services.

Will be moving again soon, and will only make one call....back to them :) Super happy customer.
