This review is for Gozleme Turkish Cafe, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 11 May 2013

I discovered this cafe by accident but was so happy I did as I had been craving gozleme.

The gozleme and kebabs are quite nice, though not the best ever. The ingredients are fresh and the bread is home made and roll/cooked to order which is always nice.

Prices were reasonable, dining area was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly enough. There is a range of gozleme flavours that are all nice.

This review is for India Today, Maroochydore QLD

Before I discovered India Today I could not eat Indian food as it was always too spicy. Without a doubt India Today is my favourite Indian restaurant! None of the dishes are spicy unless you request it, meaning that I can always enjoy their delicious food!

Prices are a little steep for Indian food, but it is well worth it for the food! We have ordered many many of the dishes on the menu and have never found one that we did not thoroughly enjoy!

The take away and dine in food is consistent, both are prepared quickly and with fresh ingredients.

This review is for Kanzaman, Richmond VIC

Kanzaman is a wonderful dining experience!

The atmosphere is wonderful, excellent decorations and a very comfortable dining room. The staff are friendly and attentive.

I dined with a group and we had the banquet which was absolutely delicious! Each course was fresh and tasty, we also had the option to have more of any course which was great, although there was definitely enough of each course to satisfy.

I will definitely be returning, and would highly recommend KanZaman!

This review is for Bagels And Beans, West Perth WA

verified email - 09 May 2013

While on a two week work placement in West Perth I visited Bagel and Beans very regularly at 6am!

I love that they were open and had freshly cooked warm bagels ready to go so early in the morning! The service was bright and cheerful, the bagels warm, fresh and delicious and the coffee well made!

Bagel and Beans has a very large variety of bagels and toppings, there is something for every taste.

The only negative is that 6am is very cold in winter and the shop front is open, meaning that it can be quite chilly inside! However a hot coffee and warm bagel keep you warm!

Approximate cost: $6.00

This review is for Collingwood Childrens Farm, Abbotsford VIC

verified email - 09 May 2013

The Collingwood Animal Farm was a fun day out with a group of adults and children.

The prices are reasonable and they gave us family passes even though we were a mix of families.

The children loved that they could feed the goats and cuddle guinea pigs! The day we went there were no feedings or petting zoo though, so there was not actually a lot to do. The children had fun anyway! They loved seeing the variety of animals and giving them all a pat!

Approximate cost: $16.00

This review is for Perth Diesel Performance, Wangara WA

I became very well acquainted with SS Auto Repairs when I had a dodgy car, I was there almost every month for 6-7 months, sometimes more than one a month!

The owner is very friendly and is fantastic at explaining what is wrong with the vehicle. He will always check before doing work and will often give more than one option for repairs or give his honest opinion on the repair job and vehicle!

He is happy to keep the old parts to show you how they work and how it was damaged, this is fantastic for people who don't know a lot about cars, and prevents further problems arising!

The owner will not just repair the original complaint but will also let you know if he notices any other problems and lets you know how long you have until they need repairing.

The owner has often driven me home and picked me up while my vehicle is with him, which I found very helpful! The repairs are done in a timely manner with excellent communication!

SS Auto offer a range of mechanical repairs and services, and has a range of products for purchase also. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

This review is for Galaxy Drive-In, Kingsley WA

verified email - 09 May 2013

The Galaxy Drive In is a family owned business that has been around for a very, very long time!

The facilities are a little old, but they are clean and functional! The staff are friendly and attentive.

The prices are very reasonable, much cheaper than other cinemas, they play double features and have cheap nights.

The drive in has a small candy bar, but it has everything you could want.

The drive in plays childrens movies in the school holidays and families are very welcome, you can often find children running around and playing while the parents relax. Having said that, as you are in your own car this is not a problem!

One thing to note - it is good to arrive early and get a good car park, quite often people in large cars and 4wds will reverse park towards the front and open their boots up which obstructs the view of everyone behind them. There are plenty of carparks though so if it is not busy it is easy to move.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Pensione Hotel, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 09 May 2013

This place is disgusting!! I recommend it be avoided at all costs!

Yes the price is cheap, but you get what you pay for! Our room was tiny, cramped, cold and mouldy. Literally mouldy. there was mould all over the bathroom, on the bedroom roof and in the carpet! Nothing was properly cleaned either.

The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom was very difficult to use due to its small size.

We were in a courtyard room, the courtyard was old and filthy and there were people smoking out there constantly which meant that not only were we getting their second hand smoke in our non smoking room but we were kept awake by people chatting and drinking very late in to the night.

Overall this hotel was a huge disappointment, and there are many many hotels for a similar price that far surpass it.

Approximate cost: $100.00

This review is for Father's Office Speakeasy Bar And Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 09 May 2013

I've been to Father's Office twice now for nibblies and drinks. While it is a pleasant place it is not overwhelmingly wonderful.

They have a good bar menu for nibblies, but it is not very varied, there are not many dishes suitable for sharing. The foods are not what you would expect of a bar menu eg. polenta fries, but this makes for a refreshing change.

The staff are friendly enough, the food was tastey but the portions were small and quite expensive. If you arrive at the right time they have a happy hour with a list of drinks for only $5.

The place is quite large, with a restaurant and indoor and outdoor seating for the bar. It is nice to be able to sit on the balcony and watch Swanston St.
