I was charged $17.40 for chips and 2 potato cakes today. When I asked if that was correct I was…read moretold it was. I was charged $13 for chips. $13!!!! And a tiny portion at that. Been going there since moving to the area 15 years ago but won't be going back again. $13 for chips is crazy!!!! They've lost their mojo since they started hiring young Indian blokes.... The service is semi rude, super slow and unwelcoming. Used to be run by an amazing Greek family who don't seem to be there anymore.

We wanted some takeout on the way back home. I'd seen Carlisle Seafoods earlier so I figured we'd…read moregive them a shot. It's located right across the street from Balaclava train station. We dropped in on a late Saturday evening (around 8:00pm). It was busy with most customers getting takeout to go. They were a bit slow getting our order cooked but c'est la vie. Menu is up on the walls. You can also order seafood to cook at home. There's a couple combinations to choose from but it's mostly fish and chips. - Seafood delight pack ($28.00 AUD) - 2 fish of the day, chips, 2 prawns, 2 calamari, 2 potato cakes, salad, lemon and tartar. The best thing was the fish; fresh, flaky and nicely battered. The rest was really salty, greasy and soggy. The fries had an unpleasant dry texture. The salad was unremarkable (I can make a better one at home) but at least you get something healthy to counter all the grease. The calamari was dry and chewy. Potato cakes needed some seasoning. The prawns were decent. Also bizarre is that they make their own tartar sauces but didn't give us any to try. Instead, we got two squeeze packets of cheap quality tartar. Would not come back. Ever.

The food is amazing, and the kitchen is kept busy with deliveries. They have a happy hour with generous servings all the time. The lentil soup is surprisingly refreshing and goes down very easily. The fish is fresh. The fish pie is generous and filling. The calamari is well cooked and again, super fresh. The king prawns are just massive!!! The crab curry is once again generous, with a nice hit of spice. I've been here numerous times, and they have always been consistent and I would recommend anyone come here if you love good seafood mixed in with some great Asian spices!
