This review is for Cincotta Chemist, Carlingford NSW

verified email - 16 Feb 2011

I have always shopped at the Cincotta chemist at Merrylands for over 20 years, and as i work at Carlingford, I decided I would go for the one item I needed from the chemist plus fill in my lunch time by browsing, which would usually ends ups with buy more items. Well I was asked if i needed help, I said yes and they helped me find the item i was after, then another staff member asked me if i needed help a minute later while I was browsing i said no i was fine browsing, then she proceeded to follow me around the store. It was like i was about to steal the $3 item and a cheap hair clip I had in my hand. I felt pressured to almost buy, so i did, and left the store feeling weird. So I guess it is not the most accomodating place for browsing, so they missed out on the $45 I spent 10 mins later at the chemist in Carlingford court , where they didn't follow me around. Next time I won't even stop at Cincotta Carlingford. Maybe they should get some security cameras and be less rude and obvious !

Approximate cost: $10

Nice pizzas but I do love the meat dishes the most. Saltimbocca and the parmiagiana's are lovely. Service can be hit and miss with the younger staff, but the older staff who have been there for years are always reliable.

Good for a sushi fix. Clean and simple. I wouldn't rave about the selection. Order some hand rolls if you want fresher.
Nice designed store, there is lots of natural light which i love.
We prefer this sushi bay compared to Castle Hill, Blacktown and Rouse Hill.

Great flavour for Sydney Malaysian food. Quick friendly service and great food. Get there early for be at the front of the line of people. Well worth the effort.
My partner complains it is expensive, but that is because he is comparing it to hawker food in asia, but i think it is cheap in aussie terms and great flavour.

Touch screen service which is fun, you can try lots of small items by ordering half sizes. Great selection, lovely sushi. Japanese pasta dish was so yum we ordered half size to try then we order a full size on top. The Wakame flavours with cream was so good.
The only thing is we wouldn't mind more selections for the desserts. But it has never stopped us going back.

Great place to go, touch screen service, unusual modern japanese fusion foods like japanese pizza etc. Very yum and great fun. Touch screen service means you can order as you eat and it comes out so fast. But please book to avoid disappointment as it gets very busy.

Lovely place to go and have a facial or a massage when you are stressed. I have been there a few times at short notice and they managed to fit me in. I have also got my eyebrows done here before they did a great job and were gentle. especially great for me as I am a big woose !
well worth a visit if you are stressed and need to indulge !

We stayed in the studio spa room with buffet breakfast while on the way to QLD. Nice room, very clean. Lovely verandah and we could see some water in the distance. It was nice to have a microwave in the room. Breakfast was quite nice and good value in the overall cost of the room.
Pool was nicely heated and comfy to swim in when we were there in October.
Only weird thing was the louvre servery style windows between the bedroom area and the bathroom, it didn't give much privacy for toilet use, not all sounds and scents do you want to share with your partner !

Approximate cost: $149

Great prices for all your bathroom items. We got taps, shaving cabinets, shower heads, toilets, vanities, towel rails, wall tiles and floor tiles. They also have all the bits that a plumber would use also. We purchased enough for 2 bathroom renovations and save lots. The showroom isn't pretty like the big stores but you do save money. Friendly staff and cheap.

Approximate cost: $3000

Excellent good value and great tasting Lebanese food. Recommend the mixed platter. Which can feed 2 if you are average eaters. My partner and I usually add another side dish like the fattoush (yummy) as we are decent eaters. Friendly staff. Lots of people come for takeaway also.

Approximate cost: $17.00
