We had breakfast here today, which ended up being lunch as we waited over 2 hours for our food! The lady in charge was rude to most customers and Very rude to my husband when he went to pay and complained about the overall experience.

I highly recommend you go somewhere else if you want a pleasant experience and enjoy customer service, 2 things that the senior staff clearly does not care about!

Overall I'd say you ruined our day! It was quite an awful experience!

A hidden little Gem! Like a diamond in the rough! Coffee is superb and all staff can make great freshly grinded cups of caffeine tailored to suit any customers demands!

Staff are bubbly and enthusiastic and always go out of their ways to ensure that the Versatile Chef exceeds your desired level of expectation. Belinda does a wonderful job. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a excellent cup of coffee and some morning breaky, and the prices are very reasonable!

Interesting restaurant, nice to have ethnic choice. Service was by new, but very friendly staff who were eager to help. The food was simple and good value for money. We will return.

I have dined at Pepe's in Jindalee several times and each time has been worse than the last.

There is a sign at the door advising customers to wait to be seated. Usually my partner and I have stood at the door or at the counter for several minutes waiting to be seated while staff members avoid eye contact as they walk past. Other staff members can be seen in the kitchen checking their phones or behind the counter having a drink but unless you make a point of waving someone down, the terribly trained staff will not acknowledge you.

On my last visit, I waited to be seated, while the staff exhibited the above behaviors and other customers walked in, seated themselves and received service from the few staff members actually working. When I noticed that people were seating themselves and staff were ignoring us, we left and went two doors down to the fantastic thai restaurant, where they never ignore you and food is always fresh.

If by chance you visit this restaurant and manage to be seated, do not hold high hopes of a fresh or impressive meal. My meals have been okay, usually, though quite bland. I eat vegetarian and don't enjoy very spicy food so, perhaps, their more adventurous dishes are more appetizing. However, I do think that if you can't make a bean taco taste fresh then you're doing something wrong.

Often my meals have something very wrong with them. Twice I have had stale taco/tostadas, and even though they are toasted you can still tell they are stale. I have also been served expired or off avocado guacamole. I wasn't given the opportunity to send it back to the kitchen because once the staff Finally delivered our meals they never returned to the table.

Staff will avoid looking at you or checking on your table, probably because they know something is wrong with most dishes. When I advised the cashier of the bad guacamole he apologized yet would not remove it from the bill.

Prices are ok, but for what you pay it is reasonable to expect fresh food and good service. For the suburban area and the poor quality of food and service their prices should be much lower.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I don't know. How they are still in business. Probably the beer and taco specials they do. If people get drunk quickly, they probably don't notice they are eating nonsense. I can only recommend that the owners improve their food suppliers, replace their kitchen staffs and hire some staff with experience. I do also recommend that until this place improves, go to the Thai place because their food is awesome.

An absolutely lovely evening with great food. Best butter chicken I have ever had. Service excellent. Very attentive but not overbearing. Portions were huge does justifies the Price to be "reasonable". It was nice when the chef himself came out to greet us and ask how our dinner was, If you're looking for a good authentic indian restaurant for a family night out, with good value and good service this is a must.

Both of our (very different) curries tasted exactly the same. That taste was of tomatoes and pretty much nothing else. I didn't think it was possible to get butter chicken wrong, but they managed. I've honestly had better butter chicken from a jar. And for $20 a curry, that's completely unacceptable. We had a 2 for 1 voucher (which they Very begrudgingly accepted) and we were Still unhappy with the price!

The service was hilariously inept. They barely said a word of greeting or thanks upon arriving and leaving. When we went to pay they stared at us expectantly, without saying a word for literally 10 seconds. Time passed. It was awkward.

In short, we've never been to a more hilariously inadequate restaurant. We had been here before under the old management and loved it, and were very disappointed with the new management's...everything. We won't be going back.

Response from Management:
Dear Customer,

I guess you have REVIEWED THE wrong restaurant,

I used to own "Punjabi By Nature International at 102 latrobe Tce Paddington" (old management-Premish) I was the chef as well.

I have sold the restaurant RESTAURANT at Paddington and moved to ASHGROVE, this listing is for Punjabi By Nature Indian restaurant in Ashgrove.

1. Punjabi By Nature Indian Restaurant HAS NO BRANCHES EXCEPT AT 10 STEWART ROAD AT ASHGROVE.

I would say please remove this review as this is not right. as it is NOT THE RESTAURANT YOU HAD FOOD AT.

Regards

Premish Verma
owner Punjabi by nature Indian Restaurant ONLY AT Ashgrove
