Great food, great atmosphere. The staff are always willing to explain things on the menu, and the owner will visit the table and see how things are going - he has a great memory and is always super friendly. The food is delicious, very traditional judging from the amount of native Indians that frequent the place. The prices are very reasonable and they are happy to change things ie. make it less spicy, as everything is cooked fresh. Great location. The place is clean and always have Bollywood music and film clips playing.

This review is for Lazy Moe's, Tullamarine VIC

If you are looking for huge meal stop at Moe's. Normally a friend and I can order a main and share and still not finish it, which is great value for money. The cakes are always fresh, and the coffee is drinkable. The staff are somewhat lazy, sometimes they need prompting or asking. I have been there while the manager was yelling and abusing staff while the whole restaurant could hear. During peak time it can get very noisy inside, but there are heaters outside if you don't mind sitting with smokers. It's great to go for an afternoon coffee when you aren't in a hurry.

The staff are all international and very friendly. There is always funky foreign music playing that you can groove do in the short time while waiting for coffee. The girls make a great cup and are always happy to start up a conversation. They also have a great rewards program. The food is fresh and there is a good variety.

It can be hard to make an appointment, the staff aren't willing to squeeze you in either. If you have an appointment you will have to wait, sometimes more than an hour, as they are always running behind. Doctors lack continuity and it seems there is a broad range employed, can be hard to see the same person twice. Good location, there is a pharmacy next door, facilities have just been renovated so everything is fresh and new.

This review is for Silk Thai Restaurant & Takeaway, Preston VIC

Food is really yummy, a bit expensive but the meals are quite large. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, great decorations. Everything is fresh and delicious, I'd recommend going there is you want something a bit nicer than average takeaway but don't want to compromise food quality.

This review is for Banh Na Thai, Brunswick VIC

Best thai food I've ever had. The meals are large for the price and great to share. The menu is quite large and the staff are happy to answer any questions. They do have takeaway and if you can;t finish your meal they will put it in a container for you. the place is really small but nicely decorated, and the food is so good you won't notice your surroundings anyway.

This review is for Fawkner Pizza, Fawkner VIC

Not a bad pizza place, but not fantastic. The chicken hawaiian pizza I ordered had chicken loaf on it. They offer a large variety though and are happy to change or add anything. Some of the menu items they have are really interesting combinations. Price is ok and they deliver.

This review is for Five Star Fitness, Thomastown VIC

Open 24 hours and cheap as, this place is awesome. The staff are great, there is a separate womens gym which has recently been renovated. I go here all the time, there is always a car park available and it doesn't have that leery feel like some do. The equipment is new and in good condition, they play music or you can take your own or set up a radio to one of the tv stations they have playing. If you are expecting the plaza don't go - this place doesn't have pictures on the walls. It's a gym - if you're keen to just work out then it's great.

Approximate cost: $3.50

This review is for Red Box Cafe, Brunswick VIC

Had some interesting things on the menu. In a funky location, nice place to relax with a friend. My friend found a bug in her salad however, which was somewhat off putting. They gave us our drinks for free and I would go there again- the place was clean and respectable - I'd just check the lettuce more carefully!

Great food, very yummy, cheap and filling - guaranteed leftovers. They deliver and it is easy to order over the phone. They are also good with substitutions or changes to orders. Dim sims are yummy.
