This place is fabulous. The meals are around $10-12. The fried cauliflower, baba ghanouj, tabouleh and garlic chicken are phenomenal. A friend introduced me to this place, and I brought my partner here the very next night. Would recommend it to anyone.

This place was revolting, overpriced and of extremely poor quality. We ordered the Patatas Bravas ($9.00), what we got was some sort of frozen packaged potatoes (like potato gems) from the supermarket heated up. The sauce wasn't terrible (not very good either though), but we were incredibly unimpressed to pay $9 for something we could have bought at the supermarket for a lot less.

We went there because a woman was advertising white bait outside, but when the same woman served us two minutes later she informed us they were out of white bait. Instead we ordered Pincho Moruno ($10.50), we received two small skewers of fatty, gristly chicken. Seriously, Woolworths and Coles chicken skewers are better. We also ordered the garlic mushrooms which were not particularly good ($11.50) but were the most edible thing we received.

As for drinks, the sangria was pretty bad and the beer came in a beaten up old can which looked as though it had been there a while. When we went to pay we were informed they would allow us to use a card to pay for the food, but we had to pay cash for the drinks.

Honestly, this is the worst food I have ever been served.

The $5 meals cost $6! Food is decent, not fantastic. Some dishes are better than others. Nachos not great. And the fact that you have to buy a drink means it is effectively more than $6 anyway.

Great good, especially the udon and the sashimi but not great value. A bit more expensive than a lot of Japanese places, especially when you consider it's in a shopping centre.

I really like the food here and often crave it during the week. The sangria is great and good value. The service is always efficient and helpful, but have to agree with comments about the waitstaff trying to force you to buy the four tapas deal. It is a little pricey for what it is, but I really do love the food so will keep coming back.
I would not recommend the olives though. They are $9 for "Spanish olives" which are quite obviously green olives out of a jar with the price marked up.

Great value, especially during happy hour. The pizzas are really good for 5 dollars. The service can be quite dodgy, there are constantly new staff and they often forget your order/mix things up. But great atmosphere and value.

If you can get a seat, this place is pretty good. The laksa is not fantastic, but decent and good value.

The Laterno pizza is amazing! Usually order from here, have only eaten in once but staff were lovely (decor not that great). I've never had the problems speck has with delivery, have been ordering from here for about 5 years.

The service here is appalling, the wait staff always seem to be stoned. The coffee is really good, and the food decent.
