I don't know how many time I walked past this place without daring to go inside. It just seemed as…read moreordinary as ordinary could be. But then one day i smelt the aroma of fresh hot flat bread and charcoal lamb shish kebabs and had to investigate further. Yes you can your standard charcoal chicken, fried dim sims, hot chips etc but why would you? Authentic lamb tikka skewers await you. Fermented salad. Delicious dipping sauces. And the most delicious hot flat bread you can find anywhere: they have their own tandoor oven. Your bread is baked while they charcoal your lamb skewers. It's crisp on the outside. Cut into quarters and served in a basket. Your mouth will love the taste of the pillows of soft warm bread. And the complex mix of afghan spiced lamb (or chicken) skewers. You sit down with a real plate and cutlery. All for under $15. It's unbelievably good value. if only all those people who order the chiko rolls, chips and dim sims only opened their eyes and minds they would be blown away.

After my hubby and I's favourite Thai restaurant closed down, we have been trying to find another…read moreone that came close to that one. After trying many Thai restaurants in the area and also further out, we had no luck, until we tried Ghin Thai! The closets thing to our fav Thai restaurant and bonus it is close to home! The food is fresh and fragrant and very tasty! We had the following: - chicken satay skewers - Roti bread (came with a peanut dipping sauce) - Tom Yum fried rice (chicken) - Red Curry (Chicken) - BBQ honey & Soy chicken All this food was so delicious and very tasty. The servings are quite generous and pricing is reasonable good for what you get. You can eat in (it's a small place but quite nice for the area it is in) or you can take away. Service is very friendly. This is definitely our new Thai take out!

One thing I know for sure: Australia has the best fish and chips place like no other! Okay, even…read morecompared to San Francisco. Man, every time I come home, the very first thing I eat is seriously fish and chips! Delicious! This is a little local place near by my house, so walking there is very possible, plus Springvale has clean and walk-able pedestrian pathways for people to walk on. SERVICE: MacKay Fish and Chips guy is very friendly! And indeed, local and I bet family own - I'm a total supporter on local family restaurants and I think they put more love to their products - that's why it taste so good! FOOD: I only order one item - FISH AND CHIPS! FISH is freshly battered when you order and deep fried in front of your eyes when you order. So good! There's an actual difference when you eat it. Just the first bite - eureka!!! The fish juice just spatters out and dribble everywhere, now that's how you know it's fresh! Plus, it's a little difficult when biting because it's so fresh and hot! Steaming HOT! 5 stars. CHIPS - maybe because it's frozen, it's a little dry when biting into it. Doesn't work well when the fish is so good and it totally overrides the flavor of the chips. Don't get me wrong it's awesome! Crunchy, and no salt - just have to add some on. Dip it in tomato sauce, not ketchup, but tomato sauce - one word: WOW. 4 stars. OVERALL: FISH, FISH and FISH! 4 stars overall!

I have friends in the area and every time I visit them they order pizza from here. I LOVE this…read morepizza. They are generous with topping, flavour is always great. It's a consistent product. Delivery is always timely. It is a bit pricey. But you get what you pay for don't you? They are open to a decent time and my friends tell me the staff are great to deal with. The pizza is even delicious cold the next day. From what I've tasted, I recommend this place. Highly!

It is on a rare occasion I treck out to the burbs for a meal at a restaurant, why when I have such…read moregoodness closer to home? Family birthday is why this one time. Said family member raved about this place, sensational steak I was told, so of course I decided to attend this birthday. I will note there was about 25 of us, so a significantly large amount of mouths to feed. May I start with the wine, quite cheap and they sure made sure my glass was never empty, this is a tick! Wait time was very excessive, as noted though a large amount of people will do this so no judgement there, I ate snails while I waited, so win for me! I ordered my steak rare with garlic sauce and veggies, it came out closer to medium rare, but that's ok, it was an ok steak, my sauce was very sweet for a garlic base but all in all it was ok. Do I think it was as good as said family member described? Gosh no, was it a good steak, sure. Will I be coming back? Defiantly not. What I will defiantly give props to and make noted is how well the restaurant handled such a large number of people, it was very organized and they kindly let everyone pay their own portion of the bill rather than dealing with the very messy who owes what situation. this gives them a lot in my opinion as when people start to get their calculator out to work out who owes what, I shudder in embarasmnet and can't really handle it.

Despite a giant 3d pink lobster crawling across it's blue second-story facade, Cardens Steak and…read moreSeafood restaurant is easy to pass by or miss if you've never been here before. But if you like steak and seafood then it's worth a visit. Their classic 'Steak a la Cardens' has kept drawing me back for many many years. Just choose the fillet steak option and soak up the creamy lobster prawn and seafood sauce. I love the 'seafood madras' also when I'm after a change. Think lots of scallops in a dreamy, creamy, curry. Delicious. The decor is plush, but a little dated and kitsch for my liking: lots of nautical references, it's just a little too 'finding nemo'ish'. It's changed hands only once since it opened and the new owners are lovely people, so don't let the dated decor put you off. The menu remains pretty much the same as it always was. As well as the usual steak and seafood menu items you'd expect, they offer crocodile, snails, frog legs and sword fish just for conversation starters I reckon. The quality and serving sizes always felt generous, but seemed a little less so on my last visit, so I'm hoping that was just a once off and not a sign of the times. What does crocodile taste like you ask, and is it worth ordering? Think salty chicken, and that's a YES from me.
