I have eaten at Darbar Indian Restaurant twice and found the food to be consistently good. I did not think I would enjoy a lamb chop as much as I did with the spicy version in the Darbar's entrees.
The banquet menus represent excellent value at $35-$40 per person.
The decor is warm and inviting and the staff friendly.
One small criticism is the second visit it took an inordinate length of time to get our coffees - after 45 minutes we gave up and settled the bill. The staff were most apologetic, and it only slightly detracted from the overall experience

We have had an Organic Spring Veggie patch for about 3 months now. So easy to maintain with brilliant results, we eat fresh herbs and veggies every night and give surplus to our friends. Perfect for our inner-city small back yard.

Approximate cost: $1495

As one of a party of 9 we dined at Churras last night. Attentive service by friendly staff, and everyone enjoyed the meal. Most servings were excellent,with only a couple at the O.K. level - the coconut prawns were a little dry and one of the beef servings a bit chewy, but not enough to complain about.
Sometimes the salt in the seasoning is noticable, but added to the flavour rather than drowning it. I only mention it because I know some people prefer unsalted dishes. Certainly no-one in our party commented on it.
The sides (salsa, rice, bean sauce, salad) kept coming on demand as well.
Everyone had a great time and the bill including a bottle of wine, softdrink and beers totalled $470 for 9 people.
NOTE: A churrascaria is NOT FOR VEGETARIANS!

My wife and I used to go to this hotel often for the great beers, delicious pizzas, friendly prompt service and good overall value.
A couple of days ago I left feeling a liitle ripped off. The seafood pizza was great and decent value (around $25), the beer good, but the bottle of chardonnay my wife bought was awful and I could not believe the bill when I saw they charged $39 a bottle for such poor quality.
The service at the counter was O.K. but after about 20 mins I had to ask to get the table cleared so we could eat our meal (and there were 3 staff just chatting). But the glassy was over-zealous. On two occassions we had to go to the bar and ask for a replacement glass as they kept being taken when the level was low (not empty) and we still had wine in the bottle to pour another drink.
Summary: enjoy a beer and pizza, stay away from the wine and keep a hold of your glass until you are satisfied it is empty!

This review is about Maya Tandoori, which is upstairs above the bistro-like operation the other reviewers have described.
I have eaten there on at least 3 occasions, each an enjoyable experience, the last just 3 evenings ago with family.
The service was attentive and friendly, the waitress explained the menu quite well and responded to our questions in a helpful manner.
They have set menu banquets (min 2 people at $29 or $35 per person) but we opted for a la carte.

We mixed entrees and mains (chicken, prawns, lamb and dumplings) to arrive together and we shared - Chooza Tikka, Lamb Roganjosh, Murg Makhani, Kofta Naramdil, with basmati rice, naan and side of chutney. The flavours in the sauces were fresh and well balanced. My wife was a little disappointed in the Prawns Jalfrezi (the sauce a bit too dry & spicy for her taste - but good for me!). We were unanimous in our opinion of every other dish - excellent.
Total food bill was $81.80 plus a cup of ginger chai, bottle of wine and a Kingfisher beer (from Bangalore) brought the total to $114.30 for 3 adults.

Approximate cost: $16-$18

A few weeks back we headed up from Sydney to join friends who promised the best breakfast ever. We were taken to Randalls on the Beach, and it was everything promised. More "brunch" time (just after 11:00) than breakfast, we feasted first on the fantastic outlook over the beach on that quiet sunny morning.
We chose the Randalls Big Breakfast – pan fried assorted mushrooms, 2 poached eggs, 2 rashers of bacon, a huge sausage and grilled tomato; and because Mum always told me breakfast was the main meal of the day, we ordered eggs benedict which was served on toast with smoked salmon and homemade hollandaise sauce. Sensational!
At the time we said to our friends we are definitely coming back... and we did for NYE.

New Years Eve: The 3 course set menu ($55) was excellent - I had a sublime Thai beef salad entree, sumptuously moist chicken breast main with a stunning mango and peppercorn sauce and desert was a delicious cheesecake with a cosistency of a delightful mousse served in a glass and partnered with a chocolate profiterole sharing the plate. My wife had the seafood entree and minute steak main course. I was allowed a taste of the tender steak with perfectly balanced flavours of the mushrooms and bacon with red wine reduction. I agreed with my wife - amazing.
This was topped with the infectious energy of the band, The Usual Suspects / Blues Angels. All cheerful wisecracking costume-changing characters interacting with the diners, while delivering a wide repertoire of roots, blues and folk music from 7:00 p.m. to after midnight!
