Decent selection of Japanese beers on tap. The plum wine was a nice touch, really enjoyed it. For the price, I&#39;d expect a bit more variety in the drinks though.

Stumbled upon this spot and really liked it. The food was tasty and not too heavy, which was nice.

Decided to try this place for the first time. The portions are huge for what you pay, honestly. We couldn&#39;t finish everything. Good for a casual feed with mates.

Tried the ricotta hotcakes for the first time. They make them fresh to order, so there&#39;s a bit of a wait, but that fluffy texture is worth it. The berry compote on top was really nice.

Loved the house-made granola with mango panna cotta, it was just the right amount of sweet. The staff are so friendly, and I really appreciate how they always check in without being overbearing. Makes for a very relaxed meal.

First time trying goat nihari here. The meat was incredibly tender, just fell right off the bone. The haleem was also a great choice.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s my go-to for a proper Japanese lunch. The salmon donburi is always fresh, and the miso soup is just right. No fancy decor, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

The conservatory is a lovely space, feels relaxed and welcoming. It does get a bit noisy though, the acoustics can be a lot if you&#39;re sensitive to sound. Food was pretty good, we had a decent meal.

Met the family here for a Sunday lunch. The coffee is reliably good, which is a plus for a catch-up. Food was solid, no complaints. Staff were pleasant and efficient. A convenient spot for a straightforward meal.

Service was really nice, staff were polite and attentive. Food came out super fast too, which was a plus. Good spot for a quick bite.

The boneless fried chicken is the one to get. Super crispy outside, stays juicy inside. The soy garlic sauce is perfect, not too sweet. We ordered two portions for the table.

Great spot for a quick bite before a game at Marvel Stadium. Staff were super friendly even when we just walked in.

The coffee is just right, not too strong or bitter. Staff are always friendly and quick, which makes for a relaxed stop. A very comfortable spot.

This was our second dinner at this restaurant. We were quite pleased with the experience. The food was tasty and service was great.

Friendly staff and quick service, even when it&#39;s packed. It&#39;s a tiny place, so you&#39;re definitely sharing the buzz with everyone else. Gets pretty loud when full, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Booths are the way to go here. Cosy and tucked away, felt like our own little nook. The deep-dish pizza was lovely, and the chocolate cake was a hit. Just had to wait a bit to get the bill sorted.

The new location is convenient, has lovely decor, and the service and food remain as wonderful as they were previously. The presentation of the food, if anything, has improved. A must try for lovers of Indian cuisine.

Had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich for lunch. The chicken was really fresh and juicy, not greasy at all. Appreciated that they had Bobby Cola too, a nice touch. A solid find near the hotel.

Found this spot tucked away in a laneway. The pastel walls and neon sign give it a cool, quirky feel. Grabbed a takeaway flat white, which was surprisingly smooth and rich. Perfect little hidden gem for a quick, quality coffee fix.

I love Monti! I bring all of my out of town family and friends here! It has a lovely atmosphere, a variety of seating options, and the menu is terrific. The staff are always smiling. I love that my local is also one of the best around!

The staff are so lovely! I was catching up with a friend for a late breakfast and really wanted the avocado toast from the lunch menu. They totally made it for us even though it was still breakfast hours. Such a nice vibe for a chill morning hangout.

The vegan lamb kebab had great texture, and the garlic sauce was perfect for sharing with friends.

Popped in for a coffee after lunch. It was smooth, not bitter at all, and the milk was silky. Honestly didn&#39;t expect a pub to get it this right. A nice little find.
