This review is for Dunyazad Lebanese Restaurant, Balwyn North VIC

21 Aug 2010

First time Lebanese experience. Really really enjoyed it. Although did leave too early to catch the belly dancer..next time. My partner and I arrived at about 7pm on a Friday night with no booking. Was gladly shown to a spare table. Tried 3 mains - Kabab Sultan, Ashtarout (favourite) & Mihsee Selak - all very tasty. Plan to return very soon to try more food.

Approximate cost: $24

A Sri Lankan Restaurant that is clean and inviting. For first time Sri Lankan Restauranteurs, the experience was very good. It was a quiet night, however we we kindly allowed to sit anywhere we wanted, we took up residence in fron of the fire. We tried viour dishes from the Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian menu and all were very tasty. The best being the Chick Pea Curry and Chicken Tikka. Go check it out, tasty food and 4/5 customer service. We will be back.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This review is for Celadon Thai, Hawthorn East VIC

14 Jul 2010

Amazing Thai food in the unique Thai setting sitting, Celadon sits like a little glowing lamp in the dull setting of Camberwell road.
The service is uniquely Thai and the food is filled with amazing flavours that make your tastebuds dance. We've tried lots of different courses and are yet to be disappointed.
Make sure you book on a Friday or Saturday night or you won't get in.

Approximate cost: $45.00

A Fantastic Dining experience. We were welcomed upon our entrance to a spare table of our choice. Vietnamese music played quietly in the background whilst we there. Service was of a high quality. I would fully recommend the following:
Entree: Chicken San Choi Bow or Chicken and Corn soup
Main: Mongolian Chicken or Satay Chicken
Great Food, Service, Price, Will be visiting again for sure.

This review is for The Baby Gallery, Clayton VIC

26 Oct 2008

My wife and I drove up from Sale to buy all of our baby needs in Melbourne. A friend had recommended that we try the Baby Gallery, as they had nothing but good things to say about them.
We have now bought all of our baby furniture and needs from the Baby Gallery. We have found the owners (Mary and Theo), and all of the staff there very, very friendly. They are so helpful and make you feel very welcome, and that you are more than 'just' another customer.
We had a minor mix-up with a mattress, and the staff there could not do enough to put things right for us as quickly and efficiently as possible.
I will definently be shopping there again for our next bub!

This restaurant is something new and exciting for bridge rd. It is more of a grill/Japanese BBQ style restaurant and you will need to ask questions when you receive the menu and the dipping tray.
It can be confusing so make sure you are not shy and ask away. Don't go in large numbers. the restaurant is small and you will most likely sit up at the bench. Its a unique experience and the food is very very good. it is authentic in every way, you even get the Japanese greeting and goodbye. Dont expect sushi or noodles. this is a grill restaurant. there are over 60 varieties of sake on offer. So if you are a sake connoisseur then this is your place for a night out.
The restaurant is so traditional that you virtually have to yell out for your bill.
3.5 stars.

This review is for Afghan Village Restaurant, Camberwell VIC

19 Jul 2008

Reserved a table for 5, however when arrived, had to increase to 6, the staff were more than happy to assist by increasing my table size.
We all had the $35 banquet which was absolutely wonderful! BYO for this restaurant is great. The small restaurant space that seats approx 42 guests and the two waiters were very helpful explaining the dishes being served and came with a very friendly smile. Great dining experience.

This review is for Lotus Chinese Massage, Camberwell VIC

19 Jun 2008

Great massage, firm hands, easy to get in on weekends, you barely even notice the noise in the mall.
No need to take your clothes off, they use towels over your clothes so its easy to get in and out if you are in a hurry.
Most of all its the price of the service that is the best. $60 for a 60 minute massage. You cant find that anywhere these days.
If it is oils and a dark room you are after, find a day spa. If you have cpain or soreness that requires kneading...this is your place.
Miracle massage without the fancy pricetag.

Approximate cost: $1 per minute

Having only booked 30 minutes prior to arriving for a table of 2, we were placed with a window view which was great. The service was very timely at all times. The food was delicious and the menu was just the right size. A wonderful experienc e all round. Will definitely be returning.
