We saw Sauce advertised via their Wafflelicious page on Facebook. Four of us thought we would venture out and check it out. Sauce has only been open for a few days and its a stunning venue. Very modern fitout and styling with a racing motorbike in a large glass display case that didn't look out of place at all.

Being only a new venue the staff weren't entirely familiar yet with the menu but this was the only minor flaw in our evening there. The menu, which we were told is evolving on customer feedback was pretty decent.

At this point I must add make sure you go with a large appetite. The servings are massive. Due to it being a new venue I went safe with chicken parma. The others we went with had fettuccini with a pesto sauce, fettuccine con pollo and a chicken supreme.

All dishes were cooked well. The chicken was tender and moist and one of the nicest chicken parma's I have had.

Overall we had a lovely evening in this awesome new venue and we are looking forward to heading back again soon.

This is one of my favorite restaurant, it serves the best taste of kebabs and chicken barbecue (joojeh), each time we have family get together we will choose here, with friendly service we all feel comfortable and relax. Special for 10 dollars quick lunch, you can't expect more! over worth.

I tried this shop a few times, and finally gave up, The staff on the counter is quite rude, no smiles, It seems like they are about to fight or some thing.

Also the food is not that great and generous when compared to some other kebab shops on the same strip.

I will never want to visit this kebab shop again, but do love some of the surrounding ones.

We decided to give this place a go after parking in the carpark next door for a quick dinner. Had two pizzas which were delicious. Really like the pizza menu which has gourmet ingredients that not many other pizzerias have (ie. goats cheese etc). Friendly service too and obviously a local favourite.

It was my first trip to Auburn eateries and I chose to go here because the wafts of aroma from the kitchen were amazing. Liked the food a lot and freshly baked bread on premises, but felt paid more than the food was worth. The service was not bad.

The second trip made me decide never to return. The service was dismissive and rude and food was just as cold and bland. The eatery would fall into the lower end of ambience (I don’t think this word was even a consideration for this business), presentation etc. it’s not a restaurant.

I bought a number of the $29 spreets vouchers and thought I had a great deal, but have had nothing but problems.

Many unanswered and unreturned phone calls, senior staff was very rude and had an attitude from the moment I walked in. I was nothing but pleasant and only asked basic questions...Obviously unable to deal with any sort of stress.

Another time I tried to get car done during christmas break, but even though they were open, apparently they do not do the vouchers during that time. Even though there is no reference to this on the voucher.

Showed up one day just after they opened, and was told to make and appointment, I asked if I could make one while I was there, and was told 'not for today'... I would have to call and make an appt between 10 and 4pm.

I have many vouchers, which I am struggling to use because they are making my life difficult. As it is I don't want to go there myself as the man intimidates me.. I am sending my partner next time.

U know there is a reason why these vouchers exist, businesses are struggling and now I see why!

Food is definitely #1 around here! Not the prettiest of places to sit to dine though, nevertheless the food is amazing and well value for money! Service can be a bit of a headache especially considering they make you get up to get your own soft drink? which is a bit of a nuisance. Will be back though.

Food was great and we were served within 15 minutes. The restaurant itself was modern and clean. I had the Tom yum which was superb. We also ordered Prawn Pad thai and lemon grass curry. Everything is reasonably priced. Great place to have a nice lunch with mates.

Got takeaway ordering Chicken Pad Thai, Seafood Fried Rice and Tom Yum. Tom Yum was definitely the pick the bunch. Seafood Fried Rice and Pad Thai were standard fare. Reasonably well decored restaurant in front of Auburn Station. Service was a bit hit and miss, I think the quality of waiting staff is variable, as they were quite abrupt when I called to put my order in initially.

We used to visit Mado with friends every year in summer as an annual pilgrimate to Turkish food. It was always a friendly place with fresh food. We had not been for a couple of years and went for lunch today. Having read the more recent reviews I was a bit apprehensive, but I need not have worried. The place looked fresher and cleaner than before. The service was friendly and the food was good. We had lovely pides and the freshest salads followed by the amazing orchid root ice cream, dense sweet pastires and the best coffee. Will definitely continue our annual pilgrimage to Mado and our friends (who live closer to it) promised themselves to go more often.

Another wet miserable night in Sydney and we decided to see if there was something interesting close by we could try. We stumbled across this cafe` on eatability and thought why not?

The manager was quite helpful in our selection of foods once discovering we had never had this type of cuisine before. He recommended a couple of popular dishes which we ordered consisting of dumplings that were chinese style in looks.

We also ordered the BBQ Mutton (which was goat) and the Curry Chicken. The goat was awesome, as were the little sides that accompanied it. The chicken curry was perfection with heaps of coriander which I just loved.

We also had some naan bread. Ot tasted almost like pancake, fresh of the grill and crispy outside and soft on the center, just great :) Will we be back? Of course we will and we will be taking friends with us next time too.

Tasty food but Abysmal service. Dishes arrived at our table with no cutlery to serve it with. When we asked for spoons, they tossed them across the table. Their accents and mannerisms resembled that of high school kids from penrith.

I first discovered Sofra in 2006 and have been going there for Adana ever since.
I've confidently introduced the place to many friends and have created many more fans of the restaurant by doing so.

The servings are generous although I have to say, back in the days they used to give a lot more bread than they do today. I prefer Turkish over Lebanese because I prefer Turkish bread and the meats generally taste less salty but at the same time, flavoursome. I always get the double chicken and I love the smoky grilled flavour that never fails to satisfy.

Chips are always fresh and made to order and the service is efficient and friendly enough. I like how it's also a lot cleaner than other Turkish places I've been to in the area.

One of the best Turkish Cafe and Grill I have had the pleasure of dining at. If you are looking for an early breakfast or brunch/lunch the food is always fresh and cook to order. If you are after a nice healthy dinner this is the place to be. A very clean and tidy cafe and the service is quick and second to none.

Price is a little higher than the average cafe/takeaway but it is worth the healthy, fresh award winning food. Parking your car is free and easy, as you can park in the carpark and get your ticket validated.

The New Dragon BBQ has improved its premises so that it now looks cleaner and more refined. However, the value for food is appalling. the BBQ meats do not have the same authentic taste as before and the food on the menu has reduced drastically. The old one was much better.

Not Recommended. Went with voucher, was asked to make a booking although the t&c didn't mention that booking was required. Had to pay. The car wasn't completely dried.

2nd time tried calling them many times no ans, went and was told they were booked completely for months even though the place seemed deserted. What a ripoff, lost my money as the voucher expires. Very cold attitude of the guy.

Great food, friendly staff (although very short staffed), poor ambience (but then it's a typical Chelo kababi, so wasn't expecting anything different). Overall recommend the food but next time might do takeaway!
