If you like the big plate, small meal type of place this is one of them. I ordered the chicken which was overcooked and dry. Basically non existent veges etc. Dessert was OK, but overall way too pricey for the quality and quantity delivered. Fill up on something else before you go!
Mash is an amazing café that I am so glad my husband and I found. I work in the hospitality industry and I’m normally very fussy. This great establishment has my huge tick of approval! We now travel weekly from Parramatta just to dine there. We have also taken almost every member of our family there for their birthdays it is that good!
On my last visit on the weekend, we had the pumpkin and lentil pastie from the specials board and it was to die for! Absolutely amazing! You could expect this taste & quality at restaurants charging $100 per head. Dessert was equally as delicious – Homemade Rocky Road baked cheesecake! Some genius had to have come up with this. I asked the waitress and she said it’s made on premises!
One word of advice though, book a table in advance. Mash can get very busy when the lunch/dinner crowds all arrive at once so make sure you call and book and not just expect to be seated straight away.
Sometimes it nice to just sit back and soak up the wonderful atmosphere created in this cafe and if the service is a tad slower in the busy peak then it becomes an opportunity to enjoy it a little bit longer. No complaints here at all. Well done to Mash café & its great staff… A job well done!
I really want to like Mash but it's just so variable. It's local for us and we go reasonably regularly but find that the quality of the food, coffee and service can vary wildly. One time it's a joy, the next it leaves me fuming. The last time we were there we made a valid complaint about the timeliness of the service and to be fair, our bill was waived, which is just as well, don't get me started on the prices! We'll probably persevere, it's one of the better ones in Glenbrook.
My partner and I stumbled across mash a few weeks ago now on our way back from Leura and we are so glad we did. We have been back several times since and not once have we been disappointed. The food is awesome, and the value top notch. The only reason I haven't given the service a 10 is because my glass of beer was allowed to become empty!!
We will return again and again, the only dilemma is what to try next and if we try something new we will have to forgo the sensational Wagyu Beef which is hard to resist. Do your tummies a favor and check this little mountain Jewel out and enjoy a great feed!
I regularly visit Mash for breakfast or lunch on the weekends. The service is always friendly and helpful, and our meals are always tasty. Even once when dining with friends who have strict dietary restrictions, the staff were very helpful with suggestions and service. The ambience is lovely especially inside in winter.
Great night out. The wagyu was great! we really enjoyed the night. The only down side was the lack of knowledge of the food and wine from our waiter. Will be back for the location, food and great coffee.
Very disappointed with this restaurant. I had the Wagu beef which was very tender, but was really tasteless. Dessert was chocolate fruit samosas with coconut icecream, this also was very tasteless.
My wife had the Prawn entree which was supposed to be done in a tempura batter, however it seemed to be done in very salty breadcrumbs. For her main she had the vegetarian ravioli which was undercooked, chewy and sparse on the plate.
Overall I was very disappointed as the restaurant had a fairly good rating on this site.
The Chef must have been on holidays, the food was average. The portions were tiny, but they believe themselves to be upmarket (it also took ages to receive our meals) the restaurant was cramped. The Staff seemed to want to be helpful, but were hard to find when you needed anything.
