The fried pickles with blue cheese dipping sauce are pretty awesome. We sat at our table waiting to order for a while before we realised you order at the bar.

Opening less than 6 months ago the entire menu has been created from decades of experience. The meat (tender lamb shoulder) is BBQ'd over a mixture of wood and coal charcoal resulting in flavours that highlight just how good Lamb can taste when cooked to perfection. Every souvlaki (yes I've had half a dozen thus far just to be sure) are moist, juicy and guaranteed to leave your tastebuds craving for more.... From the onions to the Tszaki sauce, nothing is so strong as to detract from the beautiful taste of the perfectly seasoned meat...My thanks to the boys parents for passing down not only the 'know how' but also also raising two wonderful guys who are passionate about what they do...

They do good 'meal deals', and are very affordable. There is an eating area in the store, so it is not just a take away shop. I cannot comment on their other menu items, as each time we go we get the 'rooster pack' (includes full chicken, chips, gravy, and salad - which can be switched with scalloped potatoes). Awesome food, knowledgeable staff/owner (regarding allergens i.e what contains gluten).

Delightful place - what a find…read more Charming relaxing ambiance, very kind, friendly & helpful staff, lovely food & drink. Opposite Bonbeach Station. 2 doors, the Right takes you to a little shop, the Left takes you to a cafe out back with big windowed rooms and a serene courtyard. It's like a time capsule, I was here half an hour, it is so relaxing it almost felt like is been here two.

Have visited this venue twice over the years but will never again…read more On both occasions I found the pricing of the menu very pricey for this type of venue and locality, but more importantly was the complete lack of service or acknowledgment from the staff. Walking into the front reception area you would expect to be acknowledged by one staff member at the very least, but this was not the case even though staff walked straight past us while we waited to be addressed. Very poor.

The decor is lovely and the service was good. There was six of us, and each of us enjoyed what we ordered. Everything went right (other than forgetting one side dish of coconut rice which came out promptly after reminding them), and otherwise it was a good experience. I got curry puffs and chew chee salmon, and both were scrumptious. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again. You do need to search for it, as it's in a shopping complex and tucked in towards the back, but it's worth giving it a go. And once you're done eating, especially in summer, just take a minute stroll to the lake front where it's just beautiful and serene. Definitely come here if you're in the area ... or if you too have friends that live closer to it than you do, but it's a hike. It's truly worth it.

My favourite and regular Thai restaurant…read more I've been eating here and getting take away from here since moving to Patterson Lakes in 2011. And in 2015 a new owner has kept the same successful menu, but undertook a complete stylish refurb that opened up the space and populate it with dark-woods furniture and beautiful Thai ornaments. I keep hearing that other Thai restaurants in nearby suburbs are amazing, but nothing I've had comes close to the quality and consistency of this place. I love the Coconut Soup and the Duck Curry.
