Food was delicious &andoriginal. I loved experiencing the new flavours even if the portions were small. Since going there I wish I could catch and eat my local possums, was so tasty there. Instead I make do with using lemon myrtle and wattleseed to add native flavour to dishes. Well done Tukka for using native Aussie ingredients. Service was good both times I have been.

We were given a copy of the menu and glossary of the native foods, to take home and remember our experience by. Expensive but worth it for a special experience. Great for international guests. Nice Aboriginal artwork and displays of native cuisine complemented the food. Can buy native spices, jams, etc to take home.

Went for a special date here, but not very romantic atmosphere, despite the candles. The food made up for it though, original mix of flavours, delicious. Serves were small, just enough to taste, I wanted more. Wait staff friendly and helped us make our choices. I wouldn't go here regularly, but was a special meal.

This is almost always packed, but we didn't wait long. I love the sushi train, and seeing the chefs making them, so professional looking. Limited range of sushi available, even some common ones were missing, many had been sitting on the train for some time as no one wanted them. Some were nice, but nothing special. Friendly waitress seated us and served tea, but then left us alone. Disappointing, as this was a nice place when I was a kid.

Nice atmosphere and decor, buffet is tasty and good value, but limited range so misses some of the best dishes. A hot tray also holds some of the most popular dishes for instant takeaways. Indian staff are friendly, but sometimes a bit of a language barrier. My favourite is the Kashmiri lamb, which includes dried fruit, but everything I have tried has been nice. The plain naans are so good I don't know why you'd bother with the fancy kheema or paneer naans.

Feels like you are immersed in India, exotic furnishings and spicy aromas. Some of best Indian food I have eaten, ever. Can get very noisy when busy, but service remained good.

Back when pizza was only the oily circles you got from pizza hut and the like, this was a step up. But now that gourmet pizzas are available almost everywhere this has failed to keep up. Very few original flavours and even existing ones not well done. Almost walked out the service was so poor. Though not that expensive was not worth it.

Really nice fish & chip plate with salad for very reasonable price. Mosaics & stuff make it a nice place to eat in & service good too. Many people from army barracks use so busy at odd times.

Difficult to get a booking and a bit restrictive if you opt for the first time slot (you must be out before the second time slot of the night begins), so don't be late! Once you get there service is good and food lovely. Expensive but worth it if you like really nice food. Don't waste it on people who would prefer a steak. Sitting outside on a busy street not the best, but we hardly noticed as were enjoying ourselves too much.

Really tasty but cheap kebabs. They are very healthy takeaway with heaps of salad. Not quite so healthy, but just as tasty are the sweet baklava and other Lebanese sweets. Kebi (mmm), dips, salads, eggs, and assorted Lebanese groceries also available. Service is friendly and quick. Bring cash as they don't accept credit cards. Now open 7 days.
