If you want Indian in geelong, go here. Bam!
service is very good, reasonable prices and delicious food. Your tastebuds might just jump of you tongue and shake your hand, thanking you for bringing them there. I usually go for the korma or madras with rice and naan, can't go wrong.
The menu is also written in cricketing terms, read the headings for a little bit of a giggle with dinner.

Approximate cost: $20

If you're within 25 hours of this place, make the effort to go. Degustation is a culinary experience - not cheap but something that is out of this world. Pizzas on a thurs night are super tasty and for $12 are great value. These guys are not just pumping out parmas, they care about food and it shows on the menu and on your tastebuds. Do it.

Approximate cost: $45

A favourite place to go for a drink in Barwon Heads. Food portions could be a little bigger but the drinks are a reasonable price and the service and setting are great. A table on the deck over summer is where you want to be. Chilled and relaxed, could spend hours and hours here. Service is cracking, driven by the manager who's priority is his customers. Do it.

Approximate cost: $35

This place could be so much more. Think Portsea Pub, Cottesloe Beach Hotel, Beach Hotel in byron - well this place isn't it. Meals are ok but def nothing special. Drinks are overpriced for what they are - terrible tasting beer (clean the lines!) in a plastic glass on a sat night. Could be amazing, with the room they've got, basically a captured market and potential views, but seems like management don't really care about their customers, more about serving you drinks until you fall down (ie. to get the most out of your wallet and who cares how many fights there are on a sat night) then having security clean up the mess. Give it a miss, there's nicer places to go for a drink/eats in town.

Good solid bowling club meals. Nothing out of this world but tasty and the right price. Beer is cold and reasonably priced. Also the only place in ocean grove with a TAB.

Approximate cost: $25

When you've got a hangover in grove, this is the best place to be. Chips and gravy is cracking, snitzel burger is another top choice. The roast schools are also a great option for a quick and easy dinner.

Approximate cost: $12

This place is just like the song - "nothing compares to you!". Cracking pizza, ripping pasta. Best steak in ocean grove too. Hawaiian, terrace special and the spaghetti pizza are personal favourites. Do yourself a favour and get amongst it.

Approximate cost: $25

Extremely disappointing service from security. We were part of a mixed group, 8 guys 8 girls, 2 pregnant. Quiet drinks after dinner on a Friday night. At 9.30 were told reasonably aggressively by security that we'd have to leave at 10pm because we were wearing thongs. OK, no prob with a dress code, was just the way they handled it. At 10pm were told to put down half finished drinks and to leave. Far too aggressively for a group that included 2 visibly pregnant ladies. Won't be going back.

Approximate cost: $22

Good value burgers, good 2hr happy hour. Good for quick tasty eats and will be going back at some stage. Didn't completely blow my socks off but a pretty solid burger.

Approximate cost: $14
