Was not impressed with this place. Many tables were dirty and cutlery was not cleaned properly. The dish I ordered was full of bones and the rice which was coloured orange, had a very strange aftertaste. Perhaps there are better choices on the menu but I dont think I will return.

Sorry was not that impressed. Ordered 2 cappuccinos and they were bitter, certainly not the best coffee I have had. I didn't eat there but really, the coffee is nothing special and its not worth the trip. There are other cafes in this area with much better coffee. They didn't have the slayer machine running, maybe thats why my coffee was so average.

I love the Hot Dog De Wheels and Tiger Pie. If you go here you gotta get one of these as they are what Harry's is known for. They are delicious and the pies are made of quality meat rather than the rubbish you will find in the supermarket freezer. Great place to go for a quick bite to eat and its not too expensive either for the size of the servings.

Portion sizes are tiny, definitely not what you would expect for the price. The banquet special is certainly not worth $35 and they would not let me swap the lamb which I cannot eat for other dishes. The ambience is decent enough and the service was fine. But there needs to be better value for money and you should be able to swap dishes.

Wow, what a let down. On the outside this looks like a very modern hotel which would be great for a quick bite. How wrong can you be, terrible service, cold uninspired and overpriced food. The only thing this establishment is good for is a lunchtime drink as you pass through the area. Go to the other local nearby competitor. Until this place reduces their prices and lifts their game, I and my friends will stay well away!

Dined here last weekend. The restaurant offers something different to your usual Indian fare. I had the $25 seafood special which included calamari, prawns, barramundi and more. The meal was quite tasty, but a little cold. For the price I did not think it was good value. Dining with 5 people and the bill came to over $150 which was a bit of a shock and we didn't even bother with an entree, only naans.Service is good. The owner is there to greet you warmly and a young man who I presume is his son is very polite and helpful.

The restaurant is very noisy, so not so good for a quiet night out. The only thing that I didn't like was that rice was too expensive, $12.50 for two bowls of rice (which are not very large) is too much. Every other restaurant I have dined in it has been unlimited rice for about $6. Overall it's not a bad restaurant, and if you want to try something different to the norm then check it out. The prices mean that I will not be a regular as they are too much for what you get, but for an occasion it isn't so bad. Great service and decent ambience. Food is tasty and different.

This is the best Thai on north shore. I love going for lunch it is only $9 for a massive serving and it is hot and tasty and the oranges and chocolates top it off at the end. I also go here for dinner regularly which is very good as well. Prices are very reasonable, but some entrees could be cheaper. Service very good and always quick to fill up the water when it is running low. At dinner time you get unlimited rice which is great so eat until you are full. I have been regular patron of this restaurant and will continue for many years.

Excellent little shop for a takeaway. I usually get takeaway sushi and a miso soup every week or two. Generous servings and delicious flavour. Quite cheap too, $5 for a sushi which is cut up (rather than a big roll) and has a great mayonnaise mixed in with the rice. Service is always cheerful. One of the best places to go if you feel like some japanese.

Food is definitely nice. Wait staff are either rude or overly nice depending on who you get. Value for money is fairly average because the meals are small, but they are exotic. The senior staff can be a bit snobby and I get the impression he has a heavy conscience but overall this is a nice restaurant.

I use to love coming here, it was a family tradition to go once a month. In the last year or so it has really gone downhill. Overpriced food, $42 for prawns in a basic sauce? You gotta be kidding me. It is also very bland and the servings are small.
It is a nice setting though with the paintings to look at. But for the price it's just not worth it.
