This review is for King Ahiram Lebanese Food, West End QLD

verified email - 28 Jul 2011

This has got to be the best and cheapest Lebanese food in Brisbane. I'm so used to getting good inexpensive Lebanese food in Sydney and it's nearly impossible to get it here. I took 3 friends to eat there recently and we got out of it for $10 each. We were able to take our own wine and not get slugged extra charge for that. We were then able to go down the street and have dessert and coffee and it was all within the budget. It's not flash to look out, the service is quick if not over the top in class but it's the quality of the food that really counts. I wish there were more places like this in Brisbane then I'd be able to eat out more often.

Approximate cost: $10

I stumbled on these guys as they were at the end of the street where I lived at the time. They are that honest and reliable that I've even driven down from Brisbane to get them to do some work on my car. I can't find anyone as good anywhere else or as reasonably priced. Sam is the best!

This place has become my 2nd office as I conduct a lot of my meetings there. They have great coffee and the occasional meal I've had there has always been good. The staff are wonderfully friendly and look after me so well. I've been going there nearly 2 years now and have no plans of going anywhere else.

Great Japanese food, great atmosphere, friendly service and terrific value. Has to be the cheapest Japanese food in Brisbane too. I've recommended so many of my friends to go there

This review is for Thai Essence Day Spa & Cafe, Norman Park QLD

Although this place is a day spa which I've yet to use, they have a great cafe which is tremendous of breakfast, lunch or just a coffee. The food is fresh and they specialize in hot duck or BBQ pork wraps which are yummy. I once had a prawn sanga made just with white bread and the prawns were really fresh and it was simply wonderful. They do great Asian salads and their Thai iced coffee is terrific as well.

Really good Thai food. I had Chicken Drunk Noodles and they were fabulous and a couple of friends on seeing mine decided to order Thai food too and they enjoyed their meals as much as I did. Very reasonably priced, friendly service, great food!

I was so rapt to see GNG up here in Brisbane as I used to go to them in Sydney. The best Mexican food out and certainly more authentic than most of those other mexican places where the taco shells are yellow and everything tastes the same just in soft and hard versions. It's on my list of regular places. It's cheap good food and there's a big area to sit if you want to eat in

This review is for Cafe Checocho, West End QLD

A couple of us like to drop in here after cycling or in the evening just to enjoy a tea or coffee and one of their homemade gaia balls or cakes and listen to some music. Haven't had a meal there yet but the food does look good. We like it because it has such a relaxed and friendly ambience and their drinks and food we've had are always good. They have some great blends of teas which are really interesting. A great place to chill out and some of the music is very good as well

This review is for Echidna Magic, Mount Gravatt QLD

Great spot as it's at the lookout at Mt Gravatt. The staff are very friendly and the place has a great ambience. We went there for breakfast and although the menu is small, the food is great. I had eggs benedict which was great and I was even asked how I wanted my eggs - soft, medium or hard - and I've never been asked that before. They came out exactly as I'd asked. The others had omelettes which looked great and apparently were as there was none left on the plate and were spoken very highly of. Coffees were the only disappoint as they were just ordinary so that is the only area they can improve upon.

Approximate cost: $17.00

This review is for Luv A Coffee, Oxenford QLD

I've been here a couple of times only for coffee although seeing the food that others have had it looks great. What I like most about this place besides the good coffee is the super friendly service with a smile. It really is fantastic and makes me wish it was close to where I live or work.
