A fantastic restaurant! I went with my husband, sister and brother-in-law and we had the set menu. The food came out really quickly. There were a lot of 'tapas' style dishes so we were able to taste many different foods. All of the dishes were good size and cooked to perfection! The set menu was definitely value for money. I would love to go back again!

Better than average Greek tavern. As others have said, this place is ideal for a large party (which makes sense, given the definition of the word "parea" on the restaurant wall).

The food is wonderful both yum cha and off the menu. Service was pretty bad although the orders once taken were quick to come to the table.

Accidentally came across this take away place in Kogarah, which locals will know is sorely lacking a decent Thai takeaway place.

Ordered Pork Pad Thai, Green Curry and Chicken Satay Stir Fry. Everything was fresh and not overly oily but full of flavour The curry was just the right amount of chilli for a medium curry. The 4 staff members there were all pleasant and friendly and service was quick. They cook the food out in the open and the kitchen looked spotless. The first satisfactory Thai/Malaysian take away in Kogarah in my opinion, definitely will keep going back, great value for money!

We've been coming here for years and everything was fantastic. But today, being Mothers Day, we had the worst experience ever! Firstly, we waited 1.5hrs, which was fine. Except, as we were walking into the restaurant, the senior staffs wife said to my mum "Don't take up the table too long", meaning eat as fast as you can, then please go away so we can squeeze more people in.

Then as we had walked to our table, I realized it was a temporary table set up in the most dodgy section of the restaurant, right outside the kitchen where all the staff were dropping off their dirty dishes etc. They obviously want to stretch the restaurant to full capacity, but that's just simply disgusting and greedy, especially since it definitely put a dampener on my special mum's day. I've told her we are Never coming back again. The service is despicable!

Really great spot. Kogarah, actually the St George area in general, needs a place like this. Good food, friendly and helpful staff and an incredibly pleasant atmosphere. Went and tried it with no expectations but were extremely impressed. Definitely will come back soon.

This is a fancy Australian restaurant in quite a non-obvious location, along the Kogarah Hospital road under a large set of apartments. It doesn't seem to be busy so the ambience is good and relatively quiet.

As others have said, the food has great presentation as well. Well worth checking out.

Went for yumcha just now. Surprised with the great food! Obvious that the food is of healthy range, less salt n less oil. Love them! Will surely visit again for yum cha n trying out their dinner menu! Lots of parking n no waiting required to be seated! The only downside is it's location in the st George club requiring signing in at the reception.

I have been here for dinner a feww times and am always left disappointed. Last time we were there the waiter forgot to put our Peking Duck order in. We had to remind them that we were waiting.

Whilst tasty, I would have preferred the Peking Duck to have had a bit more sauce. Many other places actually leave the Hoisin sauce so that you can add more if you need.

I found the fried rice a bit tasteless but enjoyed the Szechuan beef, it had the right amount of spice to it. Service was a bit slow, and we struggled to get the waiters' attention, 3 of them were hovering around the same table.

Absolutely horrendous service, re-scheduled like a million times nad never answer their business phone or emails. Responds about 5 days later to your queries. Only re-schedules at midnight or after via email on the day they were supposed to do their job. Very unsatisfatory customer service and dodgy dealers. Will never recommend them to anyone. They finally gave an excuse 5 days after my confirmation email for the 5th time the business partner is *sick* and will need 1-2 weeks to recover!

I absolutely love this place. The food is delicious and top quality. The wait staff are genuine, very nice, friendly and helpful. A lot of effort has clearly gone into the decor and into making this such a good quality and friendly venue.

This stylish new venue is fantastic! Food was amazing and very reasonably priced. The upstairs dining restaurant is very relaxing and comfortable! Will definitely be coming back here!

I can't believe no-one else has made a comment about this place yet we have lived in the Kogarah Area for a long time and have been waiting for a place like this to come along. Finally, someone has realised the potential that is in this area and given us a place where we can go relax and enjoy dinner and a few cocktails without having to listen to the football or the yobbos in the background.

The Décor is amazing the finest care has been taken so that it is comfortable right from the moment you walk in the door and see one of the smiling staff! it is a shame that they have to close the front street area at 8pm but you are able to eat upstairs and continue to drink one of the many classic cocktails. The staff are amazing and offer a level of service that is not found anywhere in the Kogarah Area they are so happy to do anything for you, nothing is a problem.

I cannot wait to take my wife back here again I think it will become our regular place for a couple of drinks. Check it out you too will be excited!

Winney conducted a beautiful bilingual ceremony for us. She thought of all things we hadn’t, she enabled us to ease through what started out as an intimidating, stressful process.

Never again! Came for a work function. They stuffed up our drink order. My young daughter wanted garlic bread. They only had herb pizza - which was dry (at least drizzle olive oil over it!)

I ordered pizza that had chili (I love chili) there was no chili - the base was soggy. When eating pizza you dont want it to be overloaded but you dont want a famine either! one olive, one slice of capsicum and a touch of meat. All I could taste was the cheap tomato paste. Others around me complained as well. A caesar salad turned up that no one ordered.

2 rissotos that was a cross between boiled rice and soup! another lifeless prawn pizza. I tasted a prawn pasta which seemed good. A pity about everything else. I can't believe there are good reviews about this place. Maybe peoples expectations are lower. I'll tell you there are far better places out there than this!

The only authentic thing here was the retsina, the dolmades were out of a can and the moussaka out of a pre pack. There was no love in any of the dishes, a pity I was waiting so long to go there.

For every bad review there will be two good ones. The service from staff received was atrocious. Kids working at McDonalds are better mannered.

The food came out very late, and then management would not bring out our cake until after midnight. Since when do the staff tell us when we can and can't have our cake. I will never ever eat here again and do not appreciate been told off by staff. There is no way in this world I will ever go back there again even if offered a free feed. Seriously I would rather buy take away. You guys were really very unprofessional.

Great Greek Taverna. Took my family and family to be for nice Sunday dinner, had not been here before but has been recommended to me by a number of friends and found out first hand why.

Food, service and atmosphere was great. Will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting the greek experience. The Haloumi was spot on.

Had over 35 people for my Birthday. Was advised that I had to pay a deposit which the owner and manager told me on the night that they are keeping ($200). Entertainment was ok but would bring out mains till midnight nor would they allow me to bring out my birthday cake until after 12:30am.

It was completely unacceptable the way they spoke to my sister who simply asked for the cake and food to come out earlier. Will never Ever go back there for any sort of function. Also was told that beer and wine was part of the package that we paid for, Alcohol was stopped literally one hour after we arrived.
