Sat nite...Buffet dinner..$27pp..There were six of us friends...if u like Sri Lankan food, u will enjoy the buffet, beef curry, chicken curry, potato curry, cauliflower with cashews, roti, spicy meat balls, spicy beans, 12 types of sambal, Jackfruit salad & fruit salad & juggery for dessert...Beautiful food..u can also order from the menu. Licensed & BYO wine ($2pp corkage) Lovely casual atmosphere, brick walls, polished floorboards. Restaurant full so that's an indication of a popular place. Service not too bad - I only say that bcoz we had to ask for a lot of things that should be automatic...eg..taking the wine in the beginning, offer to open wine, ice bucket, champagne flutes, etc..
However, food was good, company was too...so maybe can be forgiven..although I only forgive once...let's hope they get it right next time.

Hv been here b4 upon Sandra, new owner taking it up...she is friendly, chilled & relaxed. We started with a cappucino & long black...coffees great..10/10 for us. We ordered the baguettes, gourmet vegetarian $11 & for me, the Salmon baguette $13...HUGE...& very tasty. We both got thru' them We then shared a strudel which was Apple, Pear & Mango with a scoop of vanilla ice cream...Absolutely delicious.... I love turkish delight & I had that at the end.
Kallista Tea Rooms now has a licence so there is a great selection of win...es & beers.
I was also salivating at all the beautiful cakes that were on display esp. the chocolate one with the raspberries which will be next on my list to try...
My friend & I had a wonderful catch up & sitting on the couches made it harder for us to leave..very relaxing...
...thanx. C U next time....
