A lovely cafe tucked away in a quiet arcade. The muffins and soups are delicious and fresh, and you can also have a jacket potato or toasted sandwiches. Yummy hot chocolate. This is a good place to catch up with a friend over lunch, becuase you can actually hear each talk :)

I had a very enjoyable meal here with my husband. Indian Kitchen has a very extensive and authentic menu of Indian cuisine. We shared an entree and had heaps of sides with our main meal, and it came to just over $50 for the two of us. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant also has a busy takeaway section.

This is a lovely cafe, pleasantly situated within a nursery. Great hot chocolate and very generous cake portions - i shared a slice with my son, which they served on separate plates for us - lovely! Friendly and efficient staff. I'll definitely return!

I enjoyed my visit to the wool shop - a great range of interesting yarns. A very good shop to visit if you're after something specific. The staff were friendly and helpful - they were assisting customers with ensuring they had the correct wool for their pattern etc. A little pricey, but a good shop for that special wool purchase.

Approximate cost: $12 per ball

I enjoyed my meal at Suwan Thai - i had a seafood noodle dish which was delicious, along with yummy shared entrees. I went with a large group, and the staff were very good at bringing out the meals together at the same time - I will definitely return again.

I see Chris Angel at this practice, he is also very good. Painless corn removal (bliss!) and explains everything very well re: orthotics and what will work best. Chris was very quick to diagnose and address my problem. Always running on time, minimal waiting.

We had lunch here on Mother's Day. A small, family friendly, licensed restaurant with large windows over a pretty rural view. the staff were attentive and offered to adjust the blinds as we were sitting in the sun. Delicious food, and fabulous desserts. They have a children's menu which is good value, including a meal, drink and desssert. Perhaps the steak was a little overpriced, but otherwise everything was lovely.

I popped into this butcher looking for a ready-made meal for an easy, quick dinner. They have lovely family-sized pies made locally in Richmond, which suited my need perfectly. Friendly service and a wide range of meats and other products.

I had a bit of an emergency where i returned home from holiday to find that the pump for our house water tank had blown up and all the water had leaked out of the tank through the broken pump. I called Howrah plumbing late that afternoon, and they sent a plumber first thing the next morning. The plumber was able to give expert advice and had a new pump on hand to install. I then needed to have a water delivery and then have the pump primed - the follow up service from Howrah Plumbing was great, i didn't need to start from scratch with explaining my story, their internal communications must be good, as they knew straight away what was needed and the follow up service was also quick.

My son and I came here for lunch during a trip to the library. We were there right at lunch time and had no trouble finding a table. The menu seemed to be biased towards many different types of 'toasties' - pide, foccacia, toast - but luckily that was what we were after. The service was friendly and very quick and the prices were comparable for similar food in other places. I would go there again on a library trip, as it's so convenient.
