My wife and I took some friends from Qld out for breakie last Saturday morning, to the Pavilion Cafe, it hadn't opened at 9.00am the so called chef arrived late, the staff weren't interested in service the food was less than good, burnt toast, burnt bacon, eggs not good in all spent over $100.00 for five people, Not impressed, very disappointed. I hope some management gets to read this and takes some notice because the location is great but the service terrible.

I have been to a few Ethiopian restaurants in Melbourne and this is the most authentic restaurant that my Ethiopian friend talks of. He says it is as close to his mother's cooking as he can get.

I'd have to say that I prefer this place too. It's not greasy. Nice amount of spice. Great lentil and vegetable dishes. The meat dishes are yummy, especially the Doro Wat. The injera is fresh.

Some may compare Ethiopian food to Indian, it is nothing like Indian food. I find that I crave Ethiopian food, I don't with Indian. There is so many subtleties of flavour and texture that play out in Ethiopian food when it is well made.

Gosh, the subtle heat from the spice with the resistance and welcoming flavour of the meat. The creamy lentils and slight crunch in the vegetables all wrapped up in the mild sourness of the injera (like sourdough). And if you wanted a little bit of punch, the mitamita (powdered chilli) would definitely accommodate. This is quality Authentic Ethiopian food. And I always keep coming back time and time again to warm me up from a dreary rainy day in Melbourne. It is heavenly.

Having been to many buffet, I have to say this deserve the award being 'The worst of the Worst'. Buffet restaurant but constantly run out of food. Everyone have only 1 plate to use throughout the whole meal, so you pretty much clean out your own excess food after use to be able to reuse. Foods is limited variety and pretty crappy even buffet standard. Soft drink so flat, it was served from a 2litre Coke bottle probably open few weeks ago. Desserts only brought out at the end and very limited, which mean if you happen to finish your meals early, you gotta wait for others to be able to have dessert. Even though I use vouchers for only half price, I feel being ripped off.

This restaurant is under new management recently. It costs $33/head for dinner. On the night (Dec 2011), the variety was reasonable but due to lack of customers, the food was a bit stale and not very inviting. It's a very tough and competitive business to be in, that's life.

Tandoori flames is an excellent restaurant. first time, I picked up a take-away dinner and must admit that I was so impressed by their goat curry . Excellent taste and quality of the food. I was very impressed, restaurant has a variety of vegetarian menu. So, if you are not a meat lover, there are plenty of vegetarian dishes to choose from . Nice ambience , welcoming staff whatelse you can ask for . must try their chkn vindaloo (if you like something really hot ). Overall my experience was fantastic . Highly recommended .
