This quiet little Indian Take-Away store, has some of the best Indian food we have had, coming from a household, with different dietary needs such as a vegetarian, this has a wide range of food, a quick delivery and a friendly family run shop. The worst thing about the restaurant is the price, as with all quality Indian restaurants, a main serving of a curry for one, is around $10 and then your rice, poppadoms, etc, means a simple take-away ends up costing around $15 per person. But, all in all, the place has the best butter chicken i have tasted, the nicest people serving and the fastest delivery time in Indian food around. It may seem like a lot to fork out for take-away, but once every now and then wont hurt.
Enjoy.

Approximate cost: $15

OK, so the ownership has changed hands in recent months and the place has made a few huge changes, such as menu revision, hygiene standars have shot up and the prices have also increased slightly. The pizzas have changed and have fancy herbs and spices added on top of a 1-2 dollars increase, your chicken parmi has stayed the same price but only comes with a choice of chips OR salad now, with the salad or chips costing $4.50 extra. The shop itself has become a lot cleaner, I remember a few months back seeing a mouse run from the fridge to the door, and I followed it right out. These days, the shop is spotless and has no signs of anything living inside, the pizza boxs and chips trays are nicely stacked and the deep fryers are spotless and all food is now kept in the fridge until need and not sitting next to the batter bowls until its needed.

So, overall, the shops is good and the prices are average, but the quality of the food is very good and much better than the big chain pizzas, the best thing about the place is that the Parmi is exceptional and the service and fast and friendly.

This is a self serve DVD hiring store, you have to sign up when someones working there and then you get a swipe card to enter the premises and use a computer to get a DVD. about 75 percent of the times i have visited, the card hasnt worked to get in and when it does, the machine confiscates it when i insert it to get a DVD, which means going back the next day to speak to the owner. the dvds are usually good quality and never scratched and the prices are good seeing as you can hire for something like 6 hours and pay a fraction of the cost as if you were going to hire a 2 hour dvd for 24 hours anywhere else.

Approximate cost: $2

This business has just changed owners and upgraded all their facilities. The old owner really let it go, but the new ones have out done themselves and made it essential beauty, dont believe rumours about them reusing needles because they dont here, i know for sure. the girls are fully trained and have all completed their certs in everything, including teeth whitening, micro dermabration and tattoo removal.
