I've only ever ordered take away, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was great quality and very tasty. The only criticism is that the minimum order amount is pretty high $35, but some of the menu items cost more than similar dishes from other indian places

Approximate cost: $13.00

Quality, simple italian food. I've only ever got takeaway, and delivery can be a little slow even outside of peak times - but I've always been happy with the food as its piping hot and tasty when it arrives.

Approximate cost: $10.00

I've been a student on and off over the past few years and the Moonee Ponds Pole Divas has grown a huge amount, from one studio to two. They have a wide range of classes, including other dance classes, to cater for all levels of fitness and skill. The teachers are friendly, experienced and encouraging. There are courses and casual classes as well as one-off special training workshops throughout the year. Discounts are offered to current students doing more than one class or for workshops

Approximate cost: $220

Nice selection of food, but pretty pricey given that its off the main strip. Different selection of cakes, savouries and menu specials each day. Coffee was very ordinary for a while, but they've taken the advice of the local students and switched to Bonsoy for non-milk coffees so have improved a bit. Really friendly service

Approximate cost: $15

A friendly, no frills cafe with hot food and sandwich bar. Great value and tasty simple food prepared well, its a cheap and warm place to escape on a cold day. Fast service and different specials every day. Take away is available.

This review is for Just Lashes, St Kilda VIC

verified email - 19 May 2011

Very clean, relaxing salon with great service. The lashes are pretty expensive initially but there are promotional deals on sometimes that make it more affordable. The results look really good, glam but natural
There are other services available, but I've only had lash extensions and refills done there

Approximate cost: $60-$180

This review is for Alasya Turkish Restaurant, Brunswick VIC

verified email - 10 May 2011

Huge meal and good quality food for a very reasonable price. We had 9 people and all got banquet menus, great selection of fresh dips, hot bread and perfect meat platters, with delicious desserts. Very fast service.

The only criticism was one dish (russian salad), where cheap mayonnaise had been used and it spoiled the flavour.

Approximate cost: $25

Referred to GJ's by a friend who makes costumes - great selection of stage fabrics and trims, reasonable prices too! There's a heap of furniture and quilting fabrics for those interested, definitely a good place to check out for stuff you cannot get at other fabric stores

A funky bar with a great drinks menu, but importantly - a delicious selection of pintxos (tasty gourmet nibbles on bread) to enjoy with your drinks. Great atmosphere and comfy couches, a favourite place!

Gary Hancock is a fantastic naturopath and made a profound difference to my health, and in fact inspired me to pursue naturopathic studies. I've personally recommended him to at least a dozen friends.

I haven't used the services of the other practitioners there, so can't comment.

Approximate cost: $70
