With lovely decor, a cool wine bar fee on a Friday and Saturday night and yummy food, this is an upmarket option for those who can't be bothered with the trek into the city but still want a quality dining experience. The back section has an enormous dining area with an upstairs section too, but be warned- you need to book for a Friday or Saturday night. The front section transforms into a bar complete with live music on the weekend and you are pretty much guaranteed to run into someone you know here, especially if you are a local. The wine list is good and offers a local selection and the food is fresh and well-prepared with a distinct modern Australian twist. It is a little more pricey than many of Berwick's other options though so be prepared to give the credit card a bit of a work out.

Said they told us the food had to go back with the delivery driver in order to get the refunds, guests confirm that that wasn't said as we had had the phone on loudspeaker due to the food still not being there 2hrs after ordering. Delivery driver had left straight away, my missus called the restaurant immediately afterwards and on top of not stating it had to go back with him, they didnt send him back. Food had been in an Aldi cool bag and not a proper food transport bag so little wonder it was cold

The food is always of a high standard and there is something for all tastes. The staff are extremely friendly and will got the extra mile to make you happy. I once had a waiter walk over to a supermarket to by a specific bread for me!! The food hasn't changed much over the years, a few menu changes here and there and daily specials, but the prices have jumped. Still, for a restaurant in the 'burbs' Shanika's is definitely a pick.

Whether you're after a 3 course meal or a cheeky dessert, Shanika's do it well. The staff are always helpful and polite and the food is ALWAYS good.

Fresh produce, expertly crafted and a fantastic team that genuinely want your experience to be a great one means Shanika's will not disappoint.

Blobs of purres and such and always a great combination of taste and colour. I recognized some of the wines. The mark up on wine was nearly 300%! Will be back, without the wine.

We came for a mother's day lunch which after a lengthy wait to order came an hour afterwards. This is all understandable if expectations are managed but we heard nothing, and there was only one other full table. Inconsistent at best, but well priced, friendly, and well meaning. Very rich sauces and tender meat if you don't mind a wait and odd operatic ambient music.
