This place is really not good! Oily food. How can noodles be oily? But these people manage it! The cuts of meat they use is chewy and fatty. Was hoping for that typical burst of flavours when you bite into Thai food, didn't get it.

Nice enough place to sit and chat and eat but the food was really not good, So Oily! The service was below average and the price at the end was a bit much for the crummy experience. Nope. Never again.

Great place and great food! Started with the green olives stuffed with goat's cheese, breadcrumbed and pan-fried - delicious. I had the Calzone, the cheese was so fluffy and whippy, it was melt in your mouth.

Friend ordered the hot pot and it was clear I had ordered the wrong meal. Nothing wrong with the Calzone, but that hot pot was Too good for words. I tried the Scallop and oh my god, the Nicest hot pot ever!

We were tossing up "should we try a dessert"? At $17 for some, is it worth it? Short answer, Yes. We shared a Nougat toblerone, hands down the best dessert I've ever had. My friend hasn't got much of a sweet tooth but was wrestling me for the last bite. Truly a dessert you Must try. Please don't leave without asking for the Nougat toblerone.

And on another note, good on these folks for giving Western Sydney a kick in the ass when it comes to fine dining. Maybe other dives will wake up and realize we won't tolerate their re-heated Latina Fresh meals, the more places like this pop up, the sooner we can kill off the dives that plague Western Sydney! Why should someone who lives in Smithfield have to drive all the way Leichardt or the City to get a decent dinner?

Good on Candeloris, as much as I'm sure they don't want me to say it, let's hope a few other restaurants take notice and up the ante, at the end of the day, it's the consumer who wins.
